30 weeks

Hey followers- looks like we're 3/4 of the way there. And that brings with it such mixed emotions for me. I'm obviously ecstatic about meeting Gil and holding that sweet baby in my arms. We've got such an exciting new step ahead of us and we're anxious for that. However, I am such a fan of being pregnant. It's still easy, I still feel great, and I can't imagine it ending.

Gil decided that 2 a.m. was a great time to play today and I didn't mind at all. I just lay there for 30 minutes savoring every single movement, knowing that this won't last forever. And man, I'm going to miss it like crazy! My love for this baby grows so much every single day though and I can't wait to see what he or she looks like. (oh and if it's a boy or girl...)

Aaron and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on Saturday by spending the night in Stillwater where we went to college. We ate our favorite restaurants that we've been missing, swam in the majorly overchlorinated pool at the hotel, and took a wonderful walk around campus (partly in the rain).

The picture above is of our library (a place where I spent very little time, but walked by frequently.) And below is Aaron at Theta Pond feeding the geese and ducks.

This is me next to Theta Pond in the same spot where we got engaged in February of 2003.


And of course, the weekly belly shots! I feel like I had another major growth week this week. Luckily, my brave pink tank top showed back up...



Don't mind the disarray of my tank in this one, I had just woken up from a nap on the couch and apparently didn't bother fixing it before posing.


Yay for no stretch marks yet!!! I realize that I still have 10 weeks to get them, but I'm holding on to hope.

We have our first shower on Saturday given by both of our moms and an array of other hostesses. There have already been quite a few RSVP's so I'm thinking it's going to be a good turnout. We'll get to see lots of friends and family that we don't see very often, so I'm really looking forward to it. And Aaron can't wait to open the gifts! Plus, the lady who made our wedding cake is making my shower cake so I'm super pumped to load up on cake!!!

    Sounds like a REALLY fun anniversary. And you're looking fabulous! Pregnancy agrees with you, and I totally hear you on loving being pregnant so much I wish it would go on a bit longer.

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 ...

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...
