Travel time

Well, I may have officially went bonkers. And if I haven't yet, I probably will by the end of this week. We are going on our first trip with BOTH kids.

We've traveled a lot with just Paisley and it has actually been smooth sailing minus the whole Diaper Crisis of 2011 you may or may not remember. The moral of that story is that cruise ships do NOT think that any parents on board would be stupid enough to not pack plenty of diapers. Therefore, they do not sell them anywhere. Also learned that swim diapers are not a good alternative as they do not hold in urine AT ALL. Lots of good info from that experience.

In fact, I joked that if we had been the unlucky people stuck on this latest cruise ship, we would be screwed. Our diaper supply would have ran out many days ago and the amount of bath towels we'd be using as diapers would be astonishing.

Anyways, tomorrow we board a direct flight for Las Vegas to go to my husband's annual vet conference for 5 days. An Paisley is super excited. She loves that our luggage is out (although mostly still empty) and she likes to talk about going in the big airplane to Viva Las Vegas. So cute.

Graham should be good because, well, he always is. So I pray this will be no different. Big change this time is that she gets her own seat for the first time and he is now here too. Lots of luck and snacks will be needed while making this journey.

  2. I remember your diaper crisis well and when I was reading about those poor people on that cruise I actually thought about you and wondered if there were babies without diapers on board- eek! Good luck with the trip and have fun!

  3. Good luck! Ohh I remember that scary diaper crisis!!! "Viva Las Vegas" hahaha So cute you are Paisley! :) Isn't the whole point of swim diapers is to keep wetness in since they are like immersed in water hhahaa Good to know! What happens when you guys are away? Does another vet step in or do you close the clinic?

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...
