You've Got Personality

Paisley has recently started showing off more and more that she is her own person.   I feel like she did this from Day 1 when she refused to sleep in the bassinett like the other babies in the hospital.  And then again when she hated her swing.  And when she refused to ever take a bottle.  You get the point...

But now she's starting to become goofy.  And I love it!  She'll join in when we're laughing about something even though she doesn't understand the joke.   And she has the cutest fake laugh ever.   She loves to wave at everyone in a public place, even if they don't notice.  And if someone turns to walk away from her, she shrieks and starts "complaining" at them.   

She is super playful and as busy as ever.  This child loves to explore new places and is starting to play on her own for an hour at a time.  Which is awesome!  In fact, if I try to play with her, she'll often turn her back to me and move her toy to the other side.  Everything is on her terms.

Sleeping is still going well, and still not on any type of schedule which works for the unscheduled, spontaneous family we are.   She is eating everything and loves to feed herself, which she's been doing for a while now so she's really good at it.  Problem is she likes to shove all of her food in her tiny mouth all at once. 

The cats and dogs are by far her favorite friends in this world and she says "kitty cat" and "doggy" more than any of her other words.  And she says them with much more enthusiasm.   We're so close to walking it's ridiculous, and if she would just realize that she can do it- she would.  She stands really well without holding on and has taken some good steps without falling.  I actually love the mobility, so I'm excited about her walking.   Crawling made our lives more fun and made her happier, so bring on the walking!!!

  1. What a fun little girl! I am SO jealous that she will play on her own for an hour! OMG, Jax won't let us even leave the dang room when he's playing. He is SO dependent! Can't wait to hear she is walking around for ya:)!

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...
