another ap. up.

-

more appointments bring more updates.

and now we bring the chiropractor into the mix.
what's one more?
honestly i don't mind bc i know it's temporary. 
i am lucky i have the flexibility to make my own schedule
so it's not like i am losing hours with you.

today we saw dr heather, the chiropractor.
she was very thorough and i enjoyed listening 
to her inform me of how the machines work, what she is doing
and why she is doing what she is doing.
it eased my uneasiness with the chiropractor process.
the thought of "getting adjusted" always weirded me out.
but, oops i liked it.

dr heather found some spots in my neck, lower back and sacrum
 that had small red flags.
it was actually pretty relaxing.
she didn't find any flags with my pelvis or round ligaments around the uterus 
so that is good.
we will be going back from time to time until you arrive.
i'm supposed to continue yoga and pelvic rocks.
done and done.

dr heather informed me that my right side (shoulder, hip etc) 
hang particularly lower and my head tilts.
i found this so interesting bc i always try to keep balanced posture in mind
and i would have never noticed in a million years.
this can be caused by purses, or the way i drive or just carrying around
extra weight and my body figuring out what the heck to do with it 
and how to compensate for it.

it was an informative appointment and i sure appreciate
folks that don't just do a procedure, 
but actually explain every part of it.

then off we went straight to our m.wife.
all continues to go well in that dept.
got an A on my pee stick!

you are such a wiggly lil thing.
dr heather and m.wife both commented on how much you move.
smile.
when getting your measurement she had to do it 2x
you moved your butt up and made me look much larger.
we settled in at 34 cm.
you are 152 bpm and sitting ROA!
ok... now... STAY THERE!
but the amount you wiggle and move and kick
i'm pretty sure i can't bank on that.

i was able to grab a shot today.


i'm pretty sure that is your booty sticking up on the right side.
i was able to grab your butt today.
it was actually really fun.

can't wait to pinch your butt in the flesh.
don't worry i'll do it really lightly.

Embodying the Season of Giving

That night I watched the innocence both fade and transmute.  As life goes it didn't go as I expected or dare I say "planned." I knew we were close to the end of an era; that Santa / gifts under the tree gasp era. My secret goal was to make it through this Christmas.  A couple weeks ago we did the rounds of our neighborhood for a "Christmas walk" aka walking around looking at the lights. When we got home, Ana poured herself a glass of oat milk and asked "Does Santa put the gifts under the tree or is it the parents?" Shock and "not now" filled my body as I hung up my hat and coat in the mud room. "What made you think of that?" I asked. "I was just thinking about the milk and it made me think of it." "Hmmmmm" I posed the old "what do you think" back at her feeling like this is not the right time and clinging to my own wants for what Christmas should look like. I wasn't ready to answer, I needed to thi...

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,...

long time coming perhaps. (written July 9, 2022)

Honestly, "it" was always on my radar. Ever have that feeling of interest or yearn and you don't really know why? I am notorious for going outside the box so it wouldn't be all that shocking for us to choose to homeschool in 2015. In time of reflection I think back on when Stella was under two. I sat down with a group of interested homeschoolers for a Q and A, but it was still an anomaly then and most definitely not popular or always understood. And still true in some areas today, but growing fast. Not a shock though, I never felt like I could do it. I never felt strong enough in my abilities or knowledge to school my own kids and I don't think John had very much interest. Looking back I would certainly want that support, but thing is it would have gone just fine in the sense that it would be all we ever knew. No regrets though. Our school path has led me to some incredible friendships and pushpins of growth opportunities that would not have presented themselves ...
