Socially Inappropriate

This pregnancy has been defined by one symptom that I certainly don't remember with Paisley's pregnancy....   Gas.

It's like I've eaten nothing but beans for the past 20 weeks.  Yeah, I eat beans but that's not the dominant food in my diet.  And yeah, I've had gas before I was pregnant but not 24-7.  The real problem is that it isn't the type that you can just ignore and it somehow dissolves back to wherever it came from and leaves you alone.  It's the type that causes you to feel like your insides will explode if it isn't taken care of immediately.  Which leaves you no time to get away from people.

And making matters even worse, it isn't silent, but it sure is deadly.  So even if someone manages to avoid hearing it, they'll definitely smell it.    Pretty sure I'm not going to have any friends by the end of this!   And does anyone remember how bad it was during labor and delivery with Paisley?  Every single time my doc would check me, I'd fart.  A lot.  Thinking I'm going to be left alone to deliver this baby by myself!!!

  1. That is so funny! I was gassy but I can't imagine how awkward it must have been to fart on your doctor while she was checking you!!!!!

  2. Yup! Been there, done that!! All of it!! I had severe gas when I was pg with my son and I also farted during labor. Almost everytime I pushed ... I farted. My husband still makes fun of me all these months later! He STILL says he doesn't understand how the poor doctors assistant was sitting down there through all of it!

    Honestly, I really don't know how she was managing to keep a straight face! I guess that's what they are trained to do!

    This just reconfirms my opinion that you are pregnant with a little guy this time!

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
