My Social Baby

Let's blame it on hormones (thanks PCOS!) that I was being whiny about my sweet girl never sleeping.  Truly, it is mostly a blessing.  I love it that she's awake with us most of the time and gets to be part of everything we do.  And it's great for our busy lifestyle that she doesn't have a set schedule.  Like last night.  We went out for my best friend's 30th birthday and ate at a nice sushi restaurant where she napped through part of our meal and then woke up the second food hit the table to eat a bunch. (Just noodles and chicken- I didn't give her sashimi).

Afterwards, we played at a park with my best friend's two kiddos and then went to a really nice fondue place for chocolate.  She was still really good and stayed happy even though we didn't get home until almost 11.  Then she slept great and woke up happy this morning. 

So, it is really nice to not have a schedule to allow us flexibility in our social lives!  Aaron and I like to be out and about and it's funny to see how much Paisley already enjoys it.  We had already taken her to the zoo yesterday afternoon, so she was a busy girl.   But I was reminded of how incredibly good-natured she is and how lucky we are!  She rarely throws a fit, and it's easy to cheer her up from them when she does.  She loves seeing new places and people.  And she genuinely enjoys being out of the house.

Spoiler Alert: I know alot of people think I took the neurosurgery job a while back, but I actually didn't. I've still been working full-time at Aaron's clinic.  I took a job this week though, so I'll update on that tomorrow!

  1. If mommy and baby are happy and she's getting enough sleep then it's all good!! =) I think it's great that she gets to experience all kinds of different things, too. Looking forward to hearing about the job!

  2. Oh my, we have the exact opposite in our house - we barely ever leave and when we do, it's planned around meal times, nap times, etc. I don't know if I created monsters by doing that or if they started out that way, though! I wish I could do more with them, but we tried last weekend to go do something and they just had a ROUGH day, crying ALL the time. I'd love to take them out to do stuff, but...not for now I guess:). So glad you can do that with Paisley!

    Can't wait to hear about the job!

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 roadside assistance without my pulse increasing ev

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and
