Fireworks in the Neighborhood...

Yesterday turned out to be a really fun day! Aaron and I went with both of our moms to see Eclipse which was the best of the movies so far. And I'm 100% Team Jacob still. Now, I don't think Bella is good enough for him, so it's probably best that she choose Edward. :)

Then we went to my sweet little cousin's 1st b-day party. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to let it pour right at party time so there were a LOT of people crammed into a house for a while. It was lots of fun anyways and we got to see lots of our family.

My back started hurting pretty bad following all of this since I'd been sitting in less-than-comfortable chairs for a while, so I took a bath and realized that I didn't feel up to going to our last stop for the day. We were going to go to our friend's house in Edmond and watch fireworks and hang out. So, I felt like I was letting Aaron down and decided to do a little sobbing in the tub. Nothing cuter than a round girl crying in the tub...

Aaron again reminded me why he's the best husband in the world (sorry if you thought yours was the best), and suggested we go out front and do some fireworks that we had leftover from several years ago. So, we did. And what's great is that we live very much in city limits, and quite a few of our neighbors were out doing the same thing. It was quite a show!

We have about 5 policemen who live on our street and one even drove by while we were out there, and didn't even slow down. Guess they expect this type of behavior from people who have a goat in their backyard... This is what our driveway looked like this morning.
And the sidewalk...

Too bad the neighbors had already cleaned theirs up, because it was even crazier. Important thing is that we had a great time and all of the cars and houses are intact!
Oh, and I found nursing bras yesterday... Finally broke down and realized that I'm going to need them. I also realized that my knockers are going to be a lot bigger than my normal. I had to buy the L/XL to give me enough room when my milk comes in. The S/M was already a little snug!!! Aaron thinks I need to work on a modeling contract while I've got the curves... :)

    Proud of you for buying nursing bras! You're going to like breast feeding (and the curves that go with it!)

    What a fun weekend. Sorry your back hurt so bad though.

    Oh and I'm just dying to see Eclipse. I will probably go next week when my hubby gets back in town though. I can't wait!

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...
