Doctor Paisley


Paisley has figured out that she LOVES daddy's stethoscope.  She thinks it accessorizes her outfit well!  The little toot decided that LOUD thunder and torrential rains were the key to a great night's sleep last night.  She's still asleep 10 hours later.  NO waking up.  In her own crib.  Who would have thought?  I woke up many times due to the storm, but she's sleeping like a rock.  And I can count on one hand (even if I amputated a couple of fingers) the number of times she's slept 10 hours straight.  So, yay!!!

My job is going well at the pain management clinic.  I really like my new doc I work for and it's great working with a classmate.  She's been training me this week and it feels good to be around patients again, and regain that part of my life.  I'm actually enjoying my time there and Paisley has done great with everyone at the clinic while I'm gone.  So, I think I made the right decision!  :)

Nursing is still occurring around here. My milk likes to continue to come in massively even if I don't feed very often or very long.  So, my willpower is pretty much non-existent when she decides she's hungry.  I could make her a meal, but it feels a lot better to nurse her...  Yesterday she was kinda cranky all day, so she wanted to nurse more.  But we'll get back on track when she's ready.  I'm gonna miss the big boobs anyways.  Kinda dreading what will be left behind when this is all done!

It has been WAY too long since I’ve posted here and I’m eager to rejoin the blogging world!!!  The kids are 5 and 7 and super fun, I’m working at a medspa doing injectables and lasers full time and I’m 14 years in to marriage now.   But here’s where life has now lead me!  I have been driven to do a medical mission trip over the past few weeks and I’m very set on Haiti.  Yes, they are currently having a temper tantrum over the increased fuel prices which they definitely can’t afford, but that country needs help!!!!!   So, I’m here to tell my story of how this all goes!  I’ll need lots of prayers and support in this crazy endeavor!

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 ...

Blogging Failure

The fact that I blog less than I exercise is not a good sign.  I miss you all.  And I'm glad to be where I'm at because the problem is that my cup runneth over.  Life is crazy.  The kids are growing and becoming real people and exploring and I'm still struggling to figure out how to parent a VERY challenging 3-year-old. Dear Paisley is actually quite a joy to raise.  She is spunky and energetic and funny.  We desperately struggle to stifle our laughter as we discipline her for things that I never expected her to do or say.  She is the center of attention and loves her baby brother like there's no tomorrow.  I've never met a more opinionated and divalicious child though.  She picks every piece of clothing she wears, which toy she brings in the car, exactly what she is willing to eat, how her hair is fixed, which door she uses to get in the car, etc.  I hear you out there judging me.  I would have to until I gave birth to Whitney ...
