Just to answer a few questions left on my previous few posts:

1.) We do have another vet who fills in for us while we're away. He is actually the one who built the practice back in 1982 so he knows everything there is to know on how to run it. He even still works for us on Wednesdays so we can get that day off since we work on Saturday. Plus, he was my family vet growing up which is an extra bonus.

2.) The two kid thing. Yep, hardest thing I've ever done. My heart is sooo torn all the time. It's every single day that I'm nursing Graham and Paisley says in the sweetest little voice, "play with me"... Try to tell her no. You'd have to be the world's suckiest human being.

So I try my hardest but at this point I feel like Graham gets 75% and she gets 25%. And I hate that. Yeah, my mom and Aaron fill in the gaps by playing extra hat with her but I miss US!!!

Thanks for all the support on my previous post. Misery loves company and it turns out I'm not alone... :)

3.) Swim diapers are R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S!!! I trusted that they would hold in urine because why wouldn't they. But they DO NOT, I can assure you. We found this out while at a very nice dinner in the formal dining area of our cruise ship. Hmm, why is liquid streaming down our child's leg? Ohhhhhh....

And then again in the Dominican while we were having lunch in the outdoor cafe and urine came streaming from her swimsuit onto the wonderfully loud tile floor. This wasn't my first rodeo so I just slipped a pool towel beneath her and pretended nothing was happening....

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 ...

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and ...

Blog Title

I've been thinking about changing the name of our blog. But after much thought, I've decided to leave it the same. Our stork really isn't great with directions. Sure, we're pregnant now and it appears that our journey really is leading us to a baby. But it's definitely not been the quickest, easiest path. We took many wrong turns, hit several dead ends, and ended up on detours for way too long. There's been too many tears cried and my heart has been broken time and time again. It's been a long, hard road to get here and the stupid stork assigned to us put us through a load of crap to get to this point. I'm certainly thankful for the road we're on now, don't get me wrong. I'd do all of it 30 times again if I could be where I am now. (Money and biological clock allowing...) But the title should stay the same. 2 years have passed, 3 surgeries, 1 hospitalization, my miscarriage, hundreds of doctor's visits, thousands of dollars s...
