Graham

Sweet Graham has been an "easy" baby his whole life. He nurses well, sleeps decently as long as he's close to me, and rarely cries. He is quickly soothed, loves being drug around to all of Paisley's adventures, and smiles at everyone.

He just seems like one of those little people who genuinely likes his life. And it's such a welcome change from my first newborn experience that nearly wrecked my marriage and sent me to the crazy house. Seriously. She was BAD... :)

But I took a picture of my angel today and caught the looks of an ornery boy peeking out from behind that sweet baby face. Uh-oh. We may be in trouble....

  1. Hehe SO cute! Wait a minute..maybe I blocked out your posts of Paisley's tough infancy? I dont remember that. But omg, you give me hope. Sam's infancy has been pretty freakin tough haha So I'm hoping things level out as she gets bigger like Paisley :)

  2. What a cutie!!!!!

    I think Paisley and Avery are quite alike from how you describe her.

    Avery is funny and wonderful, but
    she is crazy sassy
    she loves to push our buttons
    she is a terrible sleeper
    she is non stop, constant go

    As for the active thing, people say oh in the morning I bring my baby in to bed with me and she snuggles for a half hour. Not my kid. She will stand up and try to do no more monkeys jumping on the bed.

    I am glad you were blessed with an easy baby, I hope he stays that way!!!!

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 ...
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!
