I'm finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight!!!

Swimming with her dad- she finished her swim classes a week ago.

Everything is going great around here.  Paisley is just keeping me REALLY busy!  I know people always use their kids as excuses, but now I totally get it.  Life really does fly by with a little one around.  I feel like we wake up, and before I know it- it's time for bed!

Thanks for your comments on my last post.  It's just so hard to have something controlling your life and know that you can't always change the way things are going to go.  And please don't think I'm at all ungrateful for this precious little girl!  I just love her so much, that I'd kinda like another just like her!!!

    No one would ever think you are ungrateful! We all wish we could control when and how our families are formed - but control in ANYthing in life is just an illusion.

    Paisley is just so adorable! I bought a bathing suite for Addy like the yellow one she is wearing, but in pink, so we can do swim classes with our babies this summer - so cute!

    Seriously, how did you get back down to your pre-pregnancy weight? I've got a lot of work to do:).

    You look awesome!! For me, being back to my pre-pregnancy weight just means that I have a lot of weight to lose, but it nice that I didn't hang on to those extra 30 pounds!

    Life is busy...and so, so sweet!

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...
