My Active Little Girl

Paisley just gets busier and busier all the time.  I know it seems a little excessive to have a 7-month-old enrolled in baby gym once a week and swim class twice a week, but I actually feel like she needs even more than that going on.  This child is ACTIVE!   She loves to go running around, whether it be to the zoo, Wal-mart, or around the block.  Outdoors are her favorite and she's pretty much always content as long as we're outside.

She decided that getting one tooth this week wasn't good enough, so she decided to welcome the one next door as well.  Which she seems to be handling teething great so far!  In fact, she's slept anywhere from 8-10 hours straight at night for the past week.   Hmmm...

Ignore my idiotic expression here- point is to show you how adorable her swimsuit is!

She loves riding around on the board

Water time with daddy

Mendy and her adorable twin girls, Renna and Reagan.  It is so great seeing them twice a week for class!

I love this one because her head seems to fit perfectly in the bend of my neck.  Plus, it shows off her adorable spike she's been working on!

Enjoying a dill pickle tonight while we ate our dinner.

A little more showing off her yoga moves.
Today is her 7 month birthday and I can't believe how fast it really has gone.  Especially considering how incredibly slow I felt the first 2 months went with the sleepless nights and endless breastfeeding.  She's more and more fun every day and I am so lucky to have such an amazing baby!

Update on our criminal and victim:   Detectives came to the clinic today to talk to each of us.  He said that the Suspect has a huge arrest record and has spent a lot of time in prison.  Our victim was only 12-years-old!  The detective felt that we handled the situation well and was quite certain that the Suspect would have killed him.  Such a sad deal, but I'm so glad it turned out the way it did.

    Wow! What a scary ordeal that was for you! You truly are a life saver. Amazing!

    Oh. My. Goodness. She is so cute and you look gorgeous! I do NOT look that cute when I'm in a pool:). I'm amazed at how she is moving around. Jax just won't do that. He has no desire to be mobile...yet:). And I LOVE that she has a dill pickle. I've thought about doing that, as dill pickles are a staple in our family...seeing you do it gives me permission now, lol! And her hair is just adorable! I absolutely love Jackson's spikey hair, baby hair is so fun:)!

    I bet you're needing to be pretty creative to keep her entertained at work!

    It's so nice that you get to do all of those activities with her! You've inspired me to reasearch a Waterbabies class that we're going to start next month. I can't wait to get her in the pool! Paisley serioulsy gets cuter and cuter everytime I see her!!

    She is so adorable and getting so big. We bought that same yellow giraffe bathing suit for our baby girl for this summer :)

    So I just read your crazy story from the clinic. Oh my goodness. Thank God all of you were alright. I'm so glad you helped that poor boy.

    Her swimsuit is just too adorable! I can't believe she's 7 mos. old! Where did the time go? It just can't be. The pic of her eating a pickle just hit me. She's still a tiny baby, right? When did she get old enough to sit up and eat a pickle? Craziness!

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...
