<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When you break it down like that it feels like such a short time that I have been a mom. But when you are living it out day to day, it feels like forever, like I have always had this little girl in my arms and in my heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She brings me so much joy and happiness everyday but also a new case of worries and a protectiveness that I have never felt before. That phrase "mama bear" really does apply to me, in a "if any one even thinks about hurting her, they wont want to know what is going to happen to them" I feel like the mob some days "don't mess with my family" ! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have been dealing with a milk allergy (which was just diagnosed 4 days ago but she has had for 2 months) and also acid reflux. Those combined, equal horrible feedings 7 times a day. She has had many weird symptoms that should have led to us (and by us I mean the doc) to this conclusion months ago, but when you are watching your little one scream and arch their back and turn red at every feeding you know something is just not right and sent me looking for a new pediatrician. We are now on a non cow milk formula, with the protein already broken down to help her tummy, I thought formula was expensive 4 days ago now I KNOW it is, our little can cost us 8 dollars more and we get less... but no matter what the cost I am so thankful we are on the right road now and hopefully in a few days or weeks I will have a happy little (almost) 3 month old who enjoys eating ! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some days motherhood is easy, those are the days she does great on her schedule, sleeps through the night, good naps and happy play times (I feel like super mom soaring high, high fiving myself for hard work paid off) other days are hard, and feel like a huge failure and that nothing I am doing is working, I cant remember if I have washed my hair in the last couple days, or drank 3 cups of coffee and still feel tired and huge I mean HUGE dark circles under my eyes. But its on those days at our last feeding of the night about 10:45pm that I sneak into her room and turn on the dimmer light to low, and I look at her sleeping in her big crib. Her cute little nose, and cubby cheeks and her blond eyelashes that cast a shadow over her face, that I remember "this is perfect, this is messy motherhood that is constantly changing and challenging, and I choose this and I wouldn't change or trade it for a full nights sleep, or an easy run to the store alone. I do not want to go back to the way it was before, that even in the most difficult day or night we may have, she is my little mini me, and she giggles at me and looks at me like I am her world. And I know that she is getting bigger and going to discover everything around her and I get to teach her and help her become this amazing person" And my heart is happy and full as I pick her up and kiss her little ducky lips . What an amazing journey this "motherhood" thing is!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I cant put a post up without posting too many pictures of the cutest baby around:</span><br />

She is just perfect for us and I couldn't imagine my life with out her! But let's chat about breast feeding!!!! <br />
You go in with no worries with no little voice saying you will fail at it because its natural , your body knows what to do and produce and woman since the beginning of time have been feeding their babies this way! But then you have a baby who is loosing weight and won't sleep and is constant rooting trying to find more milk, and all the "it comes naturally" goes out the window and panic sets in. So we went to a lactation specialist actually 3 times now to help and between her back sucking habits and lazy eating (like a lot of newborns) my milk supply is low, too low!! She is getting about half of a feeding to as little as a quarter of feeding from me and we are having to supplement formula for the rest! It's heart breaking to realize that something that is so wonderful and natural and FREE (let's face it formula so soooo expensive like there goes her college fund expensive ) is something I can't give her! I am on the 2 all natural herbs that have helped a little in my milk supply but not enough and now have gone on a prescription to see if that will help and so far it's not! So it has left me with this... She will get as much as I can pump and the rest from formula until I my milk is gone. Sitting in the lactation room hearing that after 15 min of breast feeding she got 3 measly ML and that all the stuff I am doing and trying is not paying off leads a very tired mom to tears. <br />
I have never been a mom so when I say this please keep that in perspective and I know in the long run this will be a small issue but right now it's not a small issue and is sad and depressing and a huge disappointment for me. I always imagined breast feeding and bonding that way with my daughter and that small dream is fading . And at 4 in the morning pumping is not appealing when you are hardly making anything . :( and then my amazing and rock solid husband steps in and comforts me and helps. <br />
<br />
<br />
On a lighter happier side I have the cutest kid ever and am so in love with her and we will be posting "what we wore" coming up on the blog, she got some pretty cute clothes ! <br />
Happy Tuesday <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For 39 weeks and 3 days I got the privilege of housing this special little girl in my belly. It was not always easy, not always fun, actually the last few weeks were down right miserable. between the false labor, extreme pressure, feeling like a hunch back with so much pain I could barley stand up, to wondering "is this the day?" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But on Thursday April 4th, Husband and I went on our nightly walk <span style="font-size: x-small;">(let me fill you in on our routine....I would walk 2- 2 1/2 miles every morning and then as soon as the husband walked in I would <strike>make</strike> ask him to walk again... this time 3 to 3 1/2 miles so lets just say I was walking a lot, I was determined to help this baby out. I put in some 90+ miles this last month )</span> This time we were walking at a snails pace and that's when it happened i started to pee my pants then I though well maybe my water broke?! the ultimate question for someone who has never experienced water breaking before. The husband and I laughed and continued on, it wasn't like a gush or entire body of water coming out just enough to notice and be totally weirded out and chalk it up to another "Joy" of pregnancy - urination. We came home i felt some false contractions and felt a little funny but nothing worth noting at the time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Friday Morning came... I went and served coffee at the shop, then headed up to target to waste time before my yet, one more growth ultrasound for baby love. While waiting in line to pay, the same thing happened on Thursday night, I stood there with wet pants, not sure what to do....do I leave my purchases on the conveyor belt? do I just stand there and wait? do i tell the 20 something man who is ringing up the lady in front of me to "hurry up my water broke or i peed my pants and need to check" ??? I mean what in the world is a girl to do....thank goodness it was not a "CLEAN UP ON ISLE 3" situation but still standing in line with wet pants...not cool, not cool. I ultimately decided to wait, i mean i had cute gladiator sandals and a dress for baby, and some much needed makeup I was not going to leave behind. I stayed calm and cool and just kindly asked the very slow checker (prob not slow but i was freaking out) to leave the hangers on . I ran to the car threw the stuff in, decided I cant wear wet pants and went into Nordstrom rack (ya I know!!!! I was freaking out remember) grabbed a maxi dress, paid, left, changed in the car, where i preceded to have more gushing....I text my husband as i turned the air conditioner up to full blast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Either I peed my pants pretty good in target or my water broke....lol so weird"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ended up heading to my midwife apt early and got checked and sure enough I heard "your water broke" I began to cry with relief 1. that its finally time and 2 that i didn't pee my pants in target!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">because my water did break Thursday night they sent me straight over to labor and delivery, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(but let me have an hour to run home and grab my stuff and head back) where husband meet me and my sister and we walked the halls for a few hours to help start my irregular contractions. After trying to have my body start labor on its own after 4 hours ish they wanted to start me on pitocin to help get my body going. Then we walked and walked and the contractions came and got stronger, we switched to the birthing ball, my family started to arrive and the husbands parents made it from Ontario !! my contractions really kicked in and started to be every Minute and no rest for the weary set in. They checked to see my progress and that was the saddest moment, I came in at 12:30 at 2cm and now at 9pm on pitocin and contracting every min i was only at a 3!!!!!! devastated and worn out from no breaks between contractions i asked for some meds, they gave me some and I finally had a rest that was about 5 min then one more then we were back to every min. :( i asked to be checked again, and when the the nurse says "are you sure you want to know?!" you know that's a bad sign....i was only at 4cm...and if I was going to continue to do it natural I could only have one more shot of that med. it was 10:30pm almost 12 hours of being in there I couldn't take it anymore and asked for my epidural. i was a little sad that my plan to do it naturally went out the window, but I was so tired i don't think i could have pushed her out later on the next morning had I not chosen the epidural. Everything went great with that and 10 mins later i looked up and smiled at my husband and started talking again (that's how everyone knew I was feeling good) we slept on and off from about midnight to 4 am Saturday morning. Feeling a lot of pressure, they checked me and I was at an 8!!! we were almost 24 hours into this (more if you count my pre labor at home Thursday night) i wasn't freaked out anymore i was ready to meet this little girl, I had this moment in the room where the husband was dozed off for only 30min and i was alone and i just thought about what was about to happen and i was ready, I knew that all my prayers had been heard and that a mirical was about to take place. A peace that i have never known came over me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 6am they started to transform the room into delivery mode, andbhad me do a few practice pushes. My midwife was not scheduled to work until 7am but I knew i wouldn't make it to see her, this baby was coming and i was okay with the midwife I had there. I pushed on and off for about 10 min and as I was resting I heard the curtain fly open and i open my eyes and my midwife Lauren came flying in the room, throwing her hair in a pony tail getting her gloves on and saying "I am here!! lets do this" it was a moment that is ingrained my brain and I was so happy to have her. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>t(he back story is the midwife that was working had Text Lauren letting her know there were 4 delivering moms and that she would love this one mom who would deliver last, that I was sweet and nice and cute. Lauren just said she knew it was me and left for work early to get to deliver my baby)</em></span></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At 7:14 I gave birth to my beautiful Reagan Paisley weighing in at 6'11 ounces 19 3/4 inches long with lots of hair. The entire birth story is amazing, the husband and i just talked about how even though it was painful and crazy moments of unknown it was exactly what we wanted and loved it and totally would do it again! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is the daughter I never knew that I always wanted. She is my daughter, my baby love, my little family. Watching Thomas hold his daughter has showed me more love and i have fallen more in love with him then ever, he is an amazing dad and loves her so much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are learning our routine and figuring out feedings and sleeping and bonding and loving every second. Even when i get 2 hours of sleep I see her sweet cheeks and it doesn't matter any more. This time we never get back, its such a short time, and i know I will blink and she will be older and i will be missing these days, so I am soaking it all in, smelling her perfect smell, her baby blue eyes, her little feet, her long fingers, her smiles, her pouting faces, coos and cries.....loving EVERY minute of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Growing up is not an easy thing I feel like a real adult at times (other times still 16 and crazy, although i was never truly crazy, because i am a control freak) This year has brought so many changes and new adventures into my life that at times i feel overwhelmed and at other times so calm and ready for the next stage to happen. Its weird how that can happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday at my last doctor apt, the babe was measuring a wee small, only about 31.5 cm instead of 33.5cm so they scheduled me in for a growth ultrasound yesterday. So i had all weekend to stress and worry that something was wrong with my little girl, and my mind going all the way to "they will take her out way to early" But Monday was amazing, we went in a little nervous as to what we would see or find out, the future of our babe in the result of the ultrasound but ultimately in the hands of the Lord. As we got her little body on the screen, we saw feet, and legs and a little tummy and then we had to work to see her cute little face because like her father she is stubborn (he would argue that i am the stubborn one....but its my birthday week, so I win) but when her face came on the screen and I saw these big little cheeks and these lips and eyes and noes, my heart melted a little more then i thought possible. My love grew because i was seeing a glimpse into my future with a cute little girl with pig tails and big cheeks running around in the back yard with the hound dog, playing catch with her daddy, learning new things everyday and i knew that's what i have always wanted. Even on days when I am completely freaking out and overwhelmed I know that its right, its what I have dreamed about and wanted. Even when i am freaking out and doubting her name that we picked out and love, I am hopping that its just a pregnancy freak out moment like the other ones i have gotten. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">we are just 19 days away from full term and only 39 days from the due date. Wow its so close but feels so far away at the same time. we completed our delivery class, we have our carseat, we are pretty close and ready.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At some point in the last few weeks I have entered into my 3rd trimester (thank goodness this is the last one) I have lost the ability to run and if you know me, you know this is the biggest bummer and pretty much flat out torture for me. My belly button is almost completely an outty, my feet have started to swell by the end of the night and putting my shoes on WOW its uncomfortable and hard. I always thought," you know I wont be that pregnant girl who cant put her shoes on" but it snuck up on me and happened. Darn pregnancy, didn't even give me a choice. My Braxton hicks are stronger then ever and coming more often, I have been ordered by the husband and friends to take it slow and say no to things, which, lets face it I am not good at. Again THANK YOU pregnancy for not asking me what I want! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT along with the negatives, there are positives that out way them, like : She moves all the time now, my belly looks like an alien is living in there,she barrel rolls around and is kicking and hitting at the same time which can hurt but is truly remarkable. Her hick ups are more frequent now and that's a reminder to me that her little lungs are learning to work, and she is practicing her swallowing. when we talk to her she reacts and responds. She loves when her daddy does the Dorie voice off finding nemo when she is talking "Whale" he says "RAYYY RAYYYYYY" and she kicks him. she can always find him and lays directly under where his head or hand is on my belly, those are the moments that bring tears to my eyes that the love we are created with can flow through a womb and that we can love someone so much that we have never met or seen!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We are entering into our appointments every 2 weeks now and getting asked questions I don't know the answers to, like birth stuff and sometimes i think "If i just don't think about it, labor wont come" ha ha right I know! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A few of my pregnant friends have started to have their babies and it reminds me of how close I truly am to being a mom and having my life forever changed. </span><br />

With the husband having a break in between his old and new job and me being on Christmas break we got to book a little get away. It's been filled with: relaxing, cuddling, snowy walks, watching countless hours of Netflix, eating way too much snack food, and an amazing prenatal/ couples massage! <br />
This week has brought on a few new pregnancy symptoms. One I have grown so much just in a week, to the point I walk by a mirror or window and don't recognize the person I'm staring at! And my Clothes all a little snugger then last week. <br />
second the exhaustion is back I feel tired all the time! running scratch that walking is work!!! <br />
third my heart burn is fierce these days! Tums by my bed, in my purse, in the car pretty much I can't leave home with out some at my disposal! <br />
Forth she is moving like crazy and her space is getting smaller so those once little kicks are now big and you can now see my stomach move with her and its starting to hurt but still the most amazing feeling in the world. My 3rd trimester begins next week, just the craziest thing that I am only 13 weeks away from meeting her and kissing her little noes and cheeks! <br />
<br />
Baby Reagan, <br />
I can't wait to meet you, as much as I want to be done being pregnant and have you out, I need you to stay in for awhile longer! Your daddy and I can't wait to start new routines and traditions with you and show you your house and hound dog and can't wait to love you! You love when your dad talks to you, you move like crazy when the music is on and you love love love spicy food!! Thanks for being so fun already! <br />
Love , your mommy! <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">another week flew by, now that I live my life by weeks I feel like they go so fast I mean it was just yesterday we got to do the big "we are prego" announcement - and by that i mean, my sweet husband let me share the info with everyone (we were together when we did it) but I suddenly turned into this 16 year old girl all shy and embarrassed to say "I am pregnant" I pretty much just blurted it out to my parents and hid my face. Of course they cried and it was a great moment but it never got easier for me to tell people, I am not sure why that is. <span style="font-size: x-small;">I am crazy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the weeks have been good to me, a little less acne, a little more bloating and puffy faced Nicole walking around but all in all we are doing good. my goal of trying to stay relaxed and not so busy hasn't really played out, but i am blaming that on the holiday season and someone needs to get things done. ;) Although , Husband and i are headed out Jan 2nd for a babymoon!!! YIPPEE. we rented a cute little one bedroom, with fireplace and kitchen cabin up by Mt. Bachelor in Bend OR and we will get to spend 3 glorious days just the two of us, doing NOTHING. I have been needing one of these for months and with him starting his new job Jan 7th we have a full week off TOGETHER...this has not happened since last year! No job stress, no worries, just US. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we bring clothes home for Baby Reagan, hound dog has been fascinated with smelling them and then licks them with her approval (then they get washed) its a good little cycle we are doing these days, as a family . </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy 6 Months Baby in there! Who has beginning to love my ribs and weighs enough to smash my bladder at all times, who loves to bury herself in my back and pinch my sciatic nerve. But feeling those little feet, and the little jabs and her hiccups I wouldn't trade for anything. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">our Creator is truly amazing that He puts all this together! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I ordered 3 pairs of pants from Old Navy (huge online sale with free shipping = awesome) and I was super nervous , I like to try on my clothes before I purchase and since this entire new concept for me of elastic around the waist and its your size but a little bigger thing is happening in my jeans now.... and I HATE WAITING for them to come in the mail, I chanced it for a good deal!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I am super happy with them, they all fit great and I can breath in them !!! I would however pay a little extra money and get the faster shipping, you know me and waiting it doesn't go very well :)</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel much better then my absentee mind last week...I didn't forget a single thing this week! :) <span style="font-size: x-small;">(pat on the back for me)</span> although, I did have to make an unplanned trip into the doctor on Monday night....This weekend was a busy one, I helped my mom at a bazaar all day Saturday and this funny thing happened I had a braxton hick contraction , in fact I had 4 that day. I knew what they were and I wasn't worried, I felt funny but kept my head on. And if you know me, I am a control freak, I like to know whats going on at all times and for this to happen at only 22 1/2 weeks is a little abnormal, I should have been panicking, but I wasn't!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then on Monday the in laws were staying with us and we did a spontaneous trip to the Clackamas Mall to Christmas shop and spend some gift cards they had brought us for Baby Reagan. <span style="font-size: x-small;">*love free things!!!! Jim & Kathy are just the best ever. </span><span style="font-size: small;">We ended up spending 4 hours shopping on top of me already having worked in our church' coffee shop that am and substitute taught for Kindergarten! So at this point my body was not happy with me, I had 6 contractions in a matter of an hour so I called up the doctor they had me come in.....so here we are sitting in the exam room I am trying to remain calm but I am a little freaked out, husband was such a rock (I don't expect anything less from him, he is so strong ALL THE TIME) he laid his hand on my belly and prayed and i could see him processing this new event and as I looked at him I knew no matter what, that we would be okay, she would be okay. The love I see come from him for his daughter is breath taking.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So turns out WE ARE GREAT. Baby R is growing like a champ in fact she has helped me gain a whopping 7 pounds this last month (on top of the other pounds I gained the first 4 1/2 months) !!! Nice right?! They just told me to take it easy and drink more water then I already am and just keep my eyes on things. And that I probably will have them the rest of my pregnancy. Awesome!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> What made me laugh the most was my that my new doc ( who does not know me and does not know I am a freak and can handle self control) was a little worried that I was 3 pounds over my scheduled weight gain....and said "you know a lot of first time moms eat what ever they want to during pregnancy" I smiled and said "Ya that's not me! I have discipline"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">** for example on Sunday when a maple bar was screaming my name at church I informed my sweet friend Holli to sell all of them so I can not have one!" and she did! High Five the Joint effort in this keeping <em>Nicole eating correct</em>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Long story I do apologize for that, but this is my life now, one long story after another. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Week 23 today, we are the size of a Grapefruit (I feel like she should be bigger cause I feel huge but that is coming or so I am</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> told) She now can hear sounds and will begin to recognize voices and noises! how cool!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever had one of those weeks, where life is only on a certain day but you are truly living a day ahead....whelp that is me this week. All week in fact i have been a step ahead but a dollar short, for example<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>,(because who doesn't want to hear the rants of a crazy prego woman and her weird moments ??! Right!)</em></span> As I started todays blog out I started it as "Awesome and Awkward THURSDAY" !! anyone see a problem here?! I completely typed out a blog about all the awkward things that now make up my life and was smiling and laughing and really thinking i had a great blog today, THEN I remembered in fact it is not Thursday and instead of saving the blog entry for tomorrow, I deleted the entire thing!!! So we start fresh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Here is another one, Monday I completely forgot a meeting and a prayer meeting....how does one do that you ask?! Good question. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday rolls around I am getting ready for work and got a sweet text message from my Friend asking if I forgot about our coffee date 45 min ago.....not only did i forget meeting with her, I only shaved one leg in the shower that morning! It happened again....two birds one stone?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See I am a normally put together, I pride myself in being on top of my appointments and not forgetting, I use my phone as a planner and am good at it. Well I think I need a redo week, a start over, because I have failed a few too many times already and its only WEDNESDAY....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I truly never understood Pregnancy brain, but I am going to 100% blame that because this is not cool! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So after that long rant of a GREAT start to my week here is what I wore Wednesday at 21- 22 weeks prego....(don't hold your breath I am at the point of no return in my clothing.....nothing fits and I have thrown a tantrum and threw all my clothes out of my closet and insisted husband lets me buy some pants that don't make me look like I am squeezing the baby' brain out or that makes me look like I am wearing a diaper,...so fingers crossed my pants in the mail will fit for at least a month, because the way this belly is growing I don't think my pants stand a chance!)</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have realized that its been a few weeks since I last wrote and that may have left questions in your minds, but have no fear, baby and me are GREAT! The sweet and very fashionable </span><a href="http://leahandnathan.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leah</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> shot me an email to check in with me, so here I am! Thank you for being so nice and checking in with me, my blogger friend!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My morning (all day, who are we kidding) sickness subsided about week 17, that was a beautiful day seeing as I was in tears and hated being pregnant at that point. I am now in the "honeymoon" stage of pregnancy, where i don't need naps, I am sleeping better, I can keep food down, and although smells still get to me i can eat food, all except Chicken and spinach. About week 18 I started to feel our baby move, and kick me and that was one of the most incredible feelings EVER, it went from "yes I'm prego" to "oh wow there is a tiny person inside me kicking me" This last weekend, the husband got to feel a big powerful kick and some little ones after that! this pregnancy has caused me to get a vocabulary and slang talk, that of a high school boy, I say things like "you mad bro" "home skillet" "what up?" just random things like that. Awesome I know! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We had our big ultrasound 2 days ago, and as any new mom and a complete control freak I NEEDED to know what we were having so I could plan and paint and just know! Baby had its legs closed at first and of course was face down so we didn't get to see a real good profile picture, but we are right on schedule, all measurements are good, nice and healthy, (a big sigh of relief for me) and we are happy to say we are having: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">A Girl!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Baby Reagan will be arriving April 10th 2013 (or a few days sooner ;) ) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As they told us to look at the screen and then said that's your daughter, tears streamed down my face (kind of out of fear, for raising a girl, its hard work) and because we couldn't be happier. I have had countless dreams since I got pregnant that it was a girl so that was fun to see it actually come true. All my life I only ever imagined having boys, so this is a big change of mind for me, but i am ready for the challenge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The next few months will bring a lot of change, including i have officially "popped out" there is no hiding this baby bump or sucking in and squeezing in between chairs and walls, or sleeping on my back!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Between fighting a cold and pregnancy I have been drained of all my energy. So this weekend i spent most of my days on Pinterest and of course re fell in love with it and found yummy food I might actually eat and ideas for the baby's room and what I want my house to look like and organizational ideas that look good in theory but not actually getting off the couch or bed to do them at this point! I did however get up and get dressed a few times this past week. Hurray me!!! But our church prayer groups and Bible Studies start back up and I actually get to go to them for the first time in my adult life so I will be getting in actual picture taking quality outfits soon...!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its a fun little tradition we have of taking pictures of how big the baby is compared to fruit. As stated in previous blogs I cant visually see 2 1/2 cm big or half an inch but I can tell you how big a raspberry</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and Grapes are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had to look up (google is my best friend most days)for how big other pregnant people are at 8 weeks, because i feel like I am showing already and popping out and its awkward and I don't like showing it off yet. I feel like I am trying to be that "pregnant woman" so i don't fit my clothes much anymore, pants are all getting a little tighter and my shirts...well those look terrible on me. I luckily have an amazing mom who keeps getting me bigger shirts to wear and bring them over on a daily basis and friends that loan me the next size up in jeans, and this amazing invention of a belly band to keep my unbuttoned pants up... yes some days I am that girl with my zipper down and button undone on purpose! My yoga pants and socks have never felt soooo good i actually dream about wearing them all day and to all events. My "I have had for 7 years skinny jeans"....gone, I wore those for the last time probably in my life as my hips are expanding a little now....my body here i come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">you may notice my big bandage on my toe in the next picture, I like to refer to it as the toe injury of 2012. Long story short, I got onto the escalator at work, someone called my name I spun around and went to just walk back off the escalator (the wrong way) caught my toe in the next coming step, and boy those things are sharp and painful, I was in instant pain, my toe was cut open in multiple places, blood all over the sales floor, I had an er trip and stitches, along with a tetanus shot that hurt like a hole in the head, they starved me for 6 1.2 hours and i had no water or couldn't go to the bathroom, i was the pregnant crying woman in the back of the er where they forgot about me and finally when a nurse came in I broke down and asked for them to just let me go home I didn't care I was bleeding everywhere but I was starving. He grabbed me some food from a party there were having and water and fixed me up, at this point my numbing meds wore off and i could feel everything he was doing but I didn't care i wanted to go home, I ended up slightly fracturing the inside of my foot and limped around for weeks!!! Lame I know! Brutal to be a gimp and in pain for weeks and walk around with a giant toe! I was a big hit with the little kids and dogs, they just wanted my bandage! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The Baby at 8 weeks, its looking (facing) left and if you look real close you can see little ears and cheeks and facial features. Husband swears its a boy and says he can tell from the picture, we went in thinking i was almost at 9 weeks and found out I was only really 8weeks and 1 day, so not really but kind of had to redo week 9 and that was a big bummer. But the baby is healthy with a strong heartbeat and this mamma cant wait to see more picture of him/her. As soon as they turned the speakers up laying there on the bed watching the screen not sure what to really expect since the only time I see this scenario is on TV or movies, and that heartbeat that sounds like a washing machine came on it took my breath away....tears pooled out of my eyes and my heart felt like a mom for the first time in my life. I feel in love with this baby and I know I have so much more to experience and hear and see and a new love but if its anything like what I felt hearing my baby's heart I am in for the time of my life. I got to watch my husband see his first child on that screen and it was just this amazing overwhelming experience and i am so honored to get to do this with him.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Journey to get here has been a crazy one, we really (I mean me), am a planner, I have it all worked out in my head how its going to be and when its going to happen. So we started on this "lets have a baby train" and I full on expected (like most woman) it would happen in that first month! Well here is how it really turned out, One month turned into 2 which lead to 4 then here comes 7 and then 9 and more... and those months are hard, the constant disappointment, the fear that grips you and keeps you awake at night all the "what ifs" go through your mind day after day, when you are growing up you never think oh that's going to be me "the one who cant have kids" or "that will take almost a year or more to have them" and it had started to become my life...Disappointment was evident and i didn't know how to make it less of a big deal. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then in July Something cool happened, we had some visiting pastors come in from Mexico which I have known them for 7 years now and after the service they heard we were having some trouble getting pregnant so they laid hands on us and spoke life to our womb and spoke a baby into our life, that week we got pregnant! This is our little prayer baby, our miracle that was spoke to us, for us! For all those times people said to me "Gods time is perfect time" <em>and I hated it then</em>, it truly is the truth, and i am so thankful we get this blessing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we are happy to announce that we are pregnant and are 7 weeks and the baby is a size of a blueberry right now, its heart is beating and getting stronger by the day, it gives me heartburn like no ones business and constant nausea, but I already love this blueberry more then I ever thought was possible and with that came a love for my husband that I haven't experience before, to watch him through this last year and now is amazing and the way he sees all of this, its perfect. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>Dear Baby,</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>So out of all the millions of little blueberries out there I am proud I get to be your momma!</em></span><em> </em><br />

finished, oh and the umpteenth time to watch some FRIENDS episodes (love)....
oh and maybe one day during the week I can actually lay out in the sun and get
burned, BBQ and Friends to host and hang out with... I love being a host its
probably one of my favorite things to do these days ,house projects, sewing projects
that are just laying there half finished…with no energy to finish them because a
few of the seams are crooked, grocery’s to be bought, and this is all on a
Monday morning! </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Verdana; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Verdana; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"> </span><o:p></o:p><br />

It was our 2nd anniversary last night! So that meant flowers, cards, candy, gifts and a surprise date to the Portland City Grill...which happens to be my all time favorite and where we went on our 1st stage of our honeymoon. Then we got to walk around downtown for a bit and finished the night with a little Starbucks! Pure BLISS for this girl! <br />
<strong>I got this little shirt on a whim at a thrift store- so glad I did</strong><br />
<strong>Pants - Forever 21</strong><br />
<strong>Jacket and Shoes- Target</strong><br />
<strong>Belt- Urban outfitters </strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em>My Husband, best friend-</em></strong><br />
<strong><em>What a whirl wind the last few years have been, we meet, dated, fell in love, planned a wedding, got married, bought a house, got a dog, quite jobs, started new adventures and have grown everyday in love and friendship. No one knows me like you, no one understands me like you do. And all I want to do for the next 60 + years is get to know you better, to be your very best friend the love of your lifetime and stay deeply, passionately in love with each other! </em></strong><br />
<strong><em>Thank you for the last 2 years you have given me, although sometimes challenging and crazy i wouldn't trade them for anything ! I am more in love with you then ever. And know that only greatness and passion lie ahead of us! </em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em>Forever yours,</em></strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These "new pieces" are few and far between these days...but I have been saving this skirt for almost 3 months...it was a birthday find back in Feb. at Nordstrom's (not on sale of course because it was the up coming fashion for the season)BUT too cute to say no! And deep down every girl wants to look like she is in a school uniform at least once in her life...<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">but not the brittany spears look</span></em>... and if you know Oregon wait the entire Northwest weather you know that maybe even in June you wont be able to wear a skirt...but it finally was nice so I broke this out, took OFF THE TAG <em><span style="font-size: x-small;">what a great sound that is, of a tag ripping off</span></em> and paired it with my new to me boat wood shoes and headed out to a graduation with Husband.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I was sick for the first 2 Days of this week, so this my or may not have been the only outfit I got in this entire week!! No judging...The yoga pants happen to be a great friend when you feel like you are dying and if anyone touches your skin you will punch them in the the face, and your lower back has a 50 ton elephant on it. But this weekend is a different story, I have to dress up everyday my little brother is graduating for High School (crazy) and i have a ton of family and social gatherings to attend. Happy super late Friday night or Saturday Morning.!!!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am not sure I know when it happened or where it was <span style="font-size: x-small;">(actually I do).</span> Growing up I never thought it would happen to me, my mom was and so was my sister but I held out, I dare to say stuck my nose up or wrinkled my nose in disgust. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">But I became....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">a dog person....I know its weird and it happened so fast and now I am the girl that goes into dog stores while on vacation and visits with other dog owners and asks questions and talks to their dogs, I look for cute stickers that say <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>but i would not put on my car </em></span> <strong>"I love my hound".</strong> I talk to my dog and love her and cant imagine our little home with out our big hound in it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Anyways I thought I would just share that today and let every one know that "that's me, Im the girl that is the crazy dog lover, who may be a little on the weird side because I talk to my Hound and cuddle with her, I know my friends think I have gone off the deep end, but that's okay because I think I am better off now because of it" </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It doesn't make me look any less crazy or of a "dog person" , I know for us to invite a few of our close friends who have dogs over to play..<span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>yep i know you are smiling and shaking your head and thinking ohh boy!! its okay, I am too. </em></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Well <strong>here's to you today</strong>: <span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>(i say this all the time and I imagine I have a glass of sparkling cider -my favorite. </em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><em>and i am toasting to you guys like at a wedding, and now you are imagining it as well, your welcome)</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em><u>may it be filled with love, happiness and lots of smiles</u></em></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its hard stuff not working, having free time all to myself, to do what I want and i have loved every second of it! I know its been a little over a month since I have been a blogger <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I don't see myself as a blogger but more of a journalese of my day to day life</span>) But I am back and back with a new found perspective on life! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These last 2 months have been an eye opener, soul searching, finding Nicole again, finding the passion and love for life. And I am happy to say that I am here and that i found it. And I know most people don't just get to stop working so I am so grateful for Husband who has been supportive and my biggest fan and has allowed me this time to figure things out, without him i am not sure where I would be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>Thank you for letting me not work and take these last 2 months to have fun you are truly amazing!!</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a glimpse into the last few months of what may seem like randomness but to me it was therapy, it was what I needed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have filled my days with friends, babies, kids,baseball, beach trips, girl time with my 3 best friends and fun. My beautiful and sweet friend Elaine has played a huge part in my life I am continually amazed that God knows who we need and when we need them<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (<em>I shouldn't be surprised since He does this all the time and He is good like that) </em></span> I am officially back looking for a job and still working on photography. We are headed to the beach this next weekend with friends (the first time we will go on vacation with friends) my little brother is graduating along with our adopted son Dawson :) we have some good stuff coming up and I am thrilled to be a part of it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those are the pictures I have had and not used at this point and are too cute not to 1,2 . My nephew Oliver James came over to hang out for the day and he loves wearing hats (or maybe I made him....the details are a little fuzzy) we got some cuddle time in and we watched Yo Gabba Gabba...if you haven't seen it, well you my friend are missing out!! 3. Our big little Hound Dog is such </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a cuddly, this is her idea of Heaven, us laying on the floor holding her. What a silly big Hound.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am off to do a photo shoot for a cute little family with 2 little boys this morning, the weather is holding out...fingers crossed and lots of praying going on to keep it that way! Then a fun trip into Ikea with one of my favorite very pregnant friends!</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a great Thursday, thank you for stopping by. Dont forget tomorrow is Fashion Friday!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sometimes my" throw together outfits" are truly my best. I feel the most confident in them and love wearing them all day, I think its ironic that this happens. . the outfits I plan and try to make work I hate but the ones I just go in my closet throw something together and walk out are the best!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> This is one of them! I was so comfortable I wore it all day did house work and worked on my clothes project. Went grocery shopping, took a little cat nap in... I love easy get ready days!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He wore his DIY Tie that I made for him all day and wore it proud. I am so in love with this fabric i may have purchased a few extra to many yards....So you may see a few more pieces from it. Its imported cotton from Italy and was on sale...for 1.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">99 a YARD...Hello could not pass that up. It was exactly what I have been looking for to make a skirt like this! Making it was not too hard...I took apart an old skirt that i didn't like used that as a pattern (worked out wonderful) made 1 practice skirt before I used the good material and then bam went for it. Husbands tie was a little harder since I couldn't take apart one of his Ties to practice so I viewed it while I made it, (no ties where harmed in the making of his new one)!!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had such a great Easter, celebrating with our family and church family. Good food watched Bubba Watson bring home his first Green Coat at the masters, took Hound Dog on a walk, cleaned the garage , back yard. Big full day!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am headed on a field trip with a sweet special little 3rd Grader today, we are going to Fran's bakery for a tour and <em>hopefully free samples</em>...:) I was instructed by Howie (the third grader) multiple times... "now Nic and Cole remember no jewelery, no open toes shoes, no high heels....you CANT WEAR THAT" The kid is pretty worried I will be all fancied out to go to Fran's.....I promised him I would obey the rules and not make a spectacle of myself!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At one point these where my white American Eagle Jeans and after RIT Dye they are now my Lemon Yellow Capri's!!! Hello Summer outfit for free. We are still experiencing rain, snow, wind and more but if I wear bright enough colors I just know one day the sun will come out and i will be ready for it.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I choose Lemon because I was loving all the colors on pinterest and when I would look in stores they had lighter yellow but also for more money then I wanted to spend so after purchasing RIT for 1.99 and one color wash in the washer I have my very bold statement! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have had writers block for over a week...nothing comes to my mind when I open a new page to write its like one minute there are all these thoughts and the next not even birds are chirping. So these are my thoughts, points, facts that i could and have mustered up!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-We just submitted our Taxes, Praise the Lord they are done, and I thought we would get more money back because we bought a house....I was wrong, come on people where is my kick back! <em>They</em> (and by<em> they</em> I mean just people) told me when we got married and filled jointly we would get better refunds...WRONG. Then it was "buy a house" .....WRONG now they say have a baby, in fact have an entire herd of them and you will get money back....not to sure I believe them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Hound Dog went to the Grooming Barn (our local Pet Groomer) Tuesday, we did a month pass of self wash, I wish I could have videoed that episode. The employee a nice woman about 10 years older then me showed me how to use all the showers and fancy products and left Hound dog and me alone to do it....took about 10 minute of sheer willpower to get my flailing, out of control, smelly 90pound puppy into the tub (3 step on a ladder people, that's all she had to climb) Employee came back in and said these words, which i am pretty proud of "Wow I am impressed you didn't give up, most people after trying that long just leave" I smiled with water all over me and dog hair on my face, said "well see something you should know about me, I am a fighter and have more stubbornness and determination then this dog, I have to!" we both laughed and for the next 45 min...yes that long I washed and "tried" to dry her...she bit at the blow dryer and howled like an old Blood Hound pro, I felt pretty sorry for the lady washing her well behaved dog next to us. we both walked out clean from our bath!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-I pretty much have insomnia every night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Husband and i are in a littler predicament seeing as he is lactose intolerant and I am allergic to Soy (milk included)....so needless to say we do not buy milk EVER. But have found Coconut milk, which is dairy and soy free, we win!! This is how I would like my everyday life to be, a good product and day that both husband and I enjoy and a life of small pleasures and finds! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-All I want to eat this week is homemade smoothies, Frozen any kind of fruit, coconut milk, spinach, flax seeds Oh SO GOOD. but I am completely out of everything, Ya for grocery shopping day today!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">-Have booked 4 more photo shoots. 2 next week, 1 newborn shoot as soon as baby is born, and family shoot in a few weeks! LOVE IT.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">-Have been turned onto Mad Men on netflix...just started season one...oh how i would love to be back in the 60s and wearing those outfits! Adore all of them, havent drawn a conclusion about the show yet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well that should be enough to sum up the last few weeks. Have a fabulous Thursday. </span><br />
