21 weeks

Okay pregnancy,
Please slow down.  I'm not ever going to do this again and I really want to savor every day!  I'm so thankful that I've felt so incredible.  The movement of my little one is great and so reassuring.  But seriously- how could I possibly be 21 weeks already?!?

I'm not having any aches and pains yet.  My sleep is terrific.  I adore my ever-growing bump.  If I could just freeze time on about 20-25 weeks of pregnancy, I'd totally do it.  In fact, if I could just stay pregnant an extra year and give birth to a 1-year-old who may sleep a little better- sign me up!

    Haha! I tried the praying for more time pregnant thing - because I was not ready to have a newborn with a 6 month old and because I loved being pregnant too - but it did not work, lol! So glad it is going well for you:)!

    Oh, I do miss the baby bump. Wouldn't it be nice if they could just come out sleeping well?
    I might even have two if I knew that was garuenteed.

    Ok first off I need to call you! Second my babies are the opposite. THey slept coming out and do not sleep now! But seriously this is going to fast. I always wonder how sad it will be knowing when you are pregnant for the last time. Especially for those of us who think pregnancy is extra special. And yes I still think that after my miserable pregnancy.

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 ...

33 weeks

We have officially entered the "my-body-may-be-trying-to-kill-me" phase. That's maybe a little bit dramatic, but pregnancy is definitely starting to hurt at times. I'm supposed to sleep on my left side but I can't breathe when I'm on that side. And I figure it doesn't really matter if the blood flow is better if I don't get oxygen to my lungs. So I try my right side, but that hip and outer thigh hurt really badly when I put pressure on them (I guess my extra 25 pounds is too much for them to hold). My tummy is out for obvious reasons, so I end up on my back. I know, shame on me . But guess what? I don't sleep very good there either. What is up with this leg pain??? And is anyone else having pelvic bone pain? Mine feel like they are trying to rip themselves apart, and I'm quite sure they are succeeding. It's almost like they are both the plus side of the magnet and are fighting to separate. OUCH . I still have more energy than I probably...
