Knock on Wood

Let's all start knocking on wood throughout this post, so I don't jinx a really good thing. 

Paisley has now slept through the night (8-11 hours) for the past 7 nights!!!  It has been the most amazing gift she could've ever given me.  And the past couple nights, I've fallen into a really deep sleep that I've been incapable of since giving birth to my sleep interrupter.  In fact, Aaron had to wake me up for work the past two mornings after I unconciously turned off my alarm.

There are no words to describe uninterrupted sleep.

(UPDATE: The milk factory is almost completely shut down.  That one desperate pumping session was just the ticket to get me through and since then, pain has been gone and things are almost over.  Sadly, my breast size has decreased dramatically!)

    Someone recently shared with me that sometimes children don't sleep through the night until they are TWO. It was terrifying. So glad you did not get one of those and desperately hoping I do not as well!

    Good news on the sleep - that sounds like just what you needed!

    There's nothing like a full night's sleep! Although, even when Davie's not here I still start waking up around 3 to check on her! Hopefully that'll go away eventually.
    I'm so jealous of your milk output! *sigh*

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!
