In Love

Nikki asked me if I was going to write in my blog today. I said I didn't have much to say. He told me I could just say I love my husband. So I will. 

I love my husband so, so much! And I love my baby. The three of us had a special day together. 


Last night, Parley and I drew on the whiteboard over his changing table. He loved it. 



Nikki and I signed the contract to rent a townhome in Tallahassee! It's the one with the organist neighbor, and we're so excited. 

Nikki and Parley went on a boy walk while I had the nicest run and talked to my mom and Rissa on the phone. 

Parley and I had a picnic on the floor. He loves laying on the floor on top of the blanket his grandma made him. And I ate a delicious sandwich and talked to Desi. 


All three of us enjoyed outdoor baby. Parley was very upset, and we couldn't get him to calm down until we went outside. He loved it. We stayed a long while and played a new game. We watched the cars at our intersection and rated how well they stopped at the stopsigns. Most of them didn't do too well.







I'm in love and very grateful for a wonderful day with my loved ones.

More Than Anything

 I love Nikki and Parley more than anything. More than sleep. Or food. Or feeling normal and healthy. Or going to the temple or the chiropractor. Or running. Or teaching. My life has changed a lot since getting pregnant and even more since Parley was born. But it's been so wonderful because there is nothing I'd rather be doing than taking care of our boy with Nikki.  We had big news today. Nikki got an acceptance letter to Florida State University. That's so huge! And I'm really, really excited for a lot of reasons. But I'm also scared. I'd gotten used to the idea of staying in Provo for another year, in our same ward, close to our family and friends and chiropractor, bank, pediatrician, and everything else we know. It felt really comfortable.  But of course Florida is the exact step we want to take for our life dreams. And it will be a grand adventure. When I get real nervous, it helps so much that wherever we go, I'll have what I love more than anything wi...

1 hour feeding

Image
 63:53. Parley ate for 63 minutes and 53 seconds in a single feeding! He got into his pajamas and had his diaper changed THREE times with the timer paused, but besides that the eating was non stop. Since this feeding started at 9:18 pm and went until almost 11 pm, it cut into my sleep time and was a bit discouraging. Parley reached one month old last Friday. He is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me, but I have also been dead tired for a month. I started the feeding quite grumpy because I had a headache and wanted to be sleeping. But by the end of it, I'm just grateful. Parley was born 3 weeks early and acted earlier than that. He had to stay in the hospital three extra days because he wasn't eating well, and I met with more lactation specialists than anyone ever has. Weeks after his birth, he wasn't gaining weight like he should, and we kept changing strategies. But now he's getting bigger and eating and eating! It's been mind blowing how much I ...

Snuggle Sunday: A Day of Rest

Image
I've always loved Sundays. Since I've had Parley, they have felt significantly harder. The toughest part is that our church is at 9, and one of Parley and my biggest chunks of sleep is usually around 8-10. Last night, as you read, wasn't the greatest night for me, but I took a bath and got all ready for church this morning. Nikki got me a pretty green dress with a v-neck for nursing like I like and pockets! It was my first time wearing, plus I put on mascara, so I was looking so good. But I was tired, and a tiny thing happened, and then I was crying about everything and nothing and couldn't stop.  Nikki told me to go take a nap and that I can go to church next time. At first that made me cry more because I wanted to go to church and really want to be put together enough to be able to go to church. But this increased crying convinced me that he was right. We turned on the YouTube live of our sacrament meeting. Nikki snuggled Parley and listened, and I fell dead asleep an...
