HUGE belly!!!

Almost 30 weeks pregnant

37 weeks pregnant with Paisley
So, it just seemed to happen overnight.  Baby Deuce got gigantic.  Yeah, we knew from the ultrasounds that this child has been exhibiting rapid growth.  In fact, we know that the baby is weighing the same as babies 4 weeks older in gestation.  But I guess I hadn't noticed that my belly was also growing crazily!  This past week, I've had many comments about "you must be due anyday now" or "wow, that's a big baby!"   And I didn't really see it.  But today I tried on this purple tank top from my 1st pregnancy which I wore up until the end.  And it barely covered my belly.  In fact, I had to layer a blank tank under it to cover the gap. 

I'm not even 30 weeks.  And I've officially outgrown a LOT of my maternity clothes.  Then, Aaron took this picture today at a Memorial Day festival we went to with our friends and I was schocked when I saw it.  I look as big as I did full-term with her.  YIKES!!!  How are we going to remove giant baby?!?   And how can my belly grow any more?!?

    Wow, it's so hard to tell what this means, lol! I've heard this happens with second (and subsequent) pregnancies, though - your body just knows how to do the growing, lol. Maybe that's it? Either way, you WILL be ok - you will get this giant baby out one way or another, lol! You look GREAT!

    You look great! Don't you wish there was a way they could just warp out?

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...
