Paisley Says

-
this may be one of the last.
i have saved it for a while.
i don't get to see my dear Paisley as much since i am at my full time gig
well, 
full time.
i'm running around less, but i miss the kid.

i hope you appreciate this Paisley Says post as i won't have as many to share.
this one sure makes me laugh.

1. it was a rainy eve at bed time. I mean, we watched the thunder and lightening.
the rain just poured.
it was nice and dark so that probably makes better for a bed time atmosphere.
Paisley was in bed and we were just finishing up a touch of a dvd except
(part of the bed routine)
i hear a loud, amazingly long and wonderful fart come from Paise.
I smile, look at her and say 
"Hmmmmm, now what was that?" just to see her response.
She replies with a mischievous look on her face:
"I dunno. Maybe Thunder?!"

God bless this story. I tried not to laugh and just went with it b/c I valued her creativity.
I reply with a smile:
"Hmmm maybe. It was storming"

2.  I was singing a song to Paisley.
I am not sure exactly how we got to singing it, but it was 
Bicycle Built for Two and she had me switch the word "daisy" to paisley and then all the names of members of her family.
She asks "How do you know that?" (meaning the song)
I tell her that my grandma sang it to me as a child.
"What does she look like?"
I do my best to describe my grandma.
P looks satisfied, but then looks up from her dinner and asks
"What's her butt look like?"
This time I couldn't help but laugh and tried my best to describe my grandma's butt.
(something I never thought I would be describing).

and that my friends, is dear little Paisley.

She is a sweet pistol. I hope to continue to hear Paisley says even if less frequent.

the story of stella.

it's been really hard to sit down and write this. not just because i keep falling asleep or stella needs to nurse... sure that is a part of it, but, there is a vulnerable part to writing this birth story that i have been having a hard time wrapping my head around. i'm an open book and this post will be a piece of that open book, but know that i still am sifting through some anger that things didn't go as "planned" even though for 10 months i mentally prepared for all possible outcomes and knowing the plan may not happen.  ...and per usual i didn't hold back on details. if you can't handle it, sorry. this is birth. INTRO: it was most important for me to bring our child into the world in the most organic way possible. after lots of research, resources and conversations we decided the best route to do this would be a home birth. we chose our midwife, found an amazing doula , and i received back up care the entire pregnancy from 2 obgyn's that i c

waiting for our arrival

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,

what i have learned my baby's first month

-
i have a guest post coming about lessons learned in a baby's first year and i started tracking what i was learning because every day seemed like a new lesson. i'm certain this will grow. i have learned: 1. how much more laundry a little makes (not including cloth diapers).  our water bill coming must be astronomical. 2. it's not easy to be the same wife you once were while tending to a little.  our love may be stronger, but it takes more effort. 3. projectile vomiting is common among ferocious eating newborns. 4. large breasts are completely overrated. 5. how much you will melt looking at your husband with his daughter. 6. i'm not sure i can fathom someone else taking care of my child even if it's family. 7. that cheering over and congratulating large burps is a common occurrence. 8. that my driving has tremendously improved (and everyone else has become worse). 9. how fast the days go by because  a) we nap b) there is always something (everything) that ne
