Bling, bling...

Work went really well for our 1st week.  Paisley worked a full-time week with me at the clinic and she did fantastic!  She loves the dogs and cats that come in, and even squeals at them frequently.  The clients love meeting her and she gets lots of compliments and attention all day.  This is her passed out on her play mat in my office.   
Exhausting being this adorable!
 I've been working with our accountant to learn to do all of the bookkeeping which is somewhat terrifying because I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life in prison due to tax evasion if I screw things up.  But I seem to be catching on pretty quickly even though accounting is foreign to me!  My biology degree is not helping so much with this...  :)
Another example of my poor photography skills...


 Today, we pierced Paisley's ears!  My mom, Aaron and I were at the mall and we just decided to go ahead and get it done.  I had already decided that it would be for the best to get them done when she's young and won't remember.  Mine were done when I was 6 months old and it didn't seem to scar me for life or anything.  :)  So, we did it.  And it was SO not bad at all.  She didn't mind them cleaning her ears or marking the dots at all.  What she did mind was me having to restrain her so they could pierce them.  But she got over it really quickly and then enjoyed the rest of her trip to the mall.  And she looks adorable!!!

    So glad the working girls are settling in! I always am amazed seeing babies "passed out" like that, because my little guy refuses to do that. He still requires us to swaddle and rock him before he'll go to sleep, and that's after he has cued us that he is tired with some pretty nasty crying. I venture to say he would NOT be able to go to work like your little one does...lol! And I LOVE the earrings. I still haven't decided when I want to get our little girl's done, but I know I want them done...so cute!

    I haven't gotten the chance to comment lately but I can just say that Paisley is about as cute as they come.
    I just love her little pierced ears. :)

    What a fun place for a kid to hang out during the day - with lots of animals! And she certainly does look adorable.

    I was just thinking about writing a post on "to pierce or not to pierce". I always thought I'd get it done right away, but now I can't bear the thought of puncturing those perfect lobes. She looks adorable though!! Ugh, I'm so torn.

    I love the little pierced ears! If we have a girl, I totally want to pierce her ears while she's really little, too!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadsi...

Santa Claus

I miss blogging.  It's just that I'm trying to minimalize the busy-ness in my life right now because the holidays always make me overwhelmed.  Like I get a bit crazy.  All the gift-giving, shopping, parties, family, friends, drama, food, etc.  Sounds fun to most people but I just do better with simple.   And that word hasn't described my life since giving birth 3 years ago.  Sooo, I go missing from time to time, but I keep up with everyone else's blogs!   This was my mom's attempt at a Christmas card with the kids.  It looks like they were decently enjoying it but the truth is both kids were having fits for absolutely no reason.  She used it anyways. My ornery little stud-muffin playing on the stairs. Graham having a VERY rare fit.  I had to capture the moment. Sweet sibling time in pajamas.  Times like this one melt my heart and make me feel good about my decision to have two kids. Graham was tota...
