Ok so here I go again, taking a few months to write another blog post. Not that this is some hip and happenin blog that everyone reads, but for myself. I sit here and reflect on why it has taken me so long to start typing again and I realize now that its because God has been pulling at my heart strings for some time now and I couldn't figure it out, and by "it" I mean <i>everything</i>. I couldn't figure anything out. So how was I going to type about something meaningful if I couldn't get right with God? If I couldn't stop asking him "why" instead of saying "if it is your will".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This blog has been just a little diary of my life with my husband and daughter, I have been able to document so much of our lives and that has been great. I have loved looking back at special moments, parties, and seeing how things have changed. But one thing my blog has really lacked is the part of me that deeply thinks. And I am here to tell you, this mind <b>deeply</b> thinks. And ultimately isn't that what a diary really is, your deep thoughts? I enjoy being able to share our life on here and it does make me happy that people care to read what I have to say, or to even comment on a post. That is such a great feeling that someone has taken time out of their day to acknowledge what you have to say. But there is a problem, <b>I want this blog to be less about<i> me</i> and more about <i>Him</i></b>. I want to share my heart in this blog, and let it give me the release I need. Because ultimately writing out my thoughts gives me clarity. Just like when you pray, have you ever prayed and as you were praying thought to yourself, "What in the world am I saying?? I just said Me, I, My 50 times! It is <b>not</b> my will, maybe I need to stop asking for the house and start asking God to reveal what the lesson is in this." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which brings me to the whole reason I brought my fingers to these keys again. I have been on a roller coaster of emotions and have had moments of doubt that I could get through it. Moments when I felt like it all rested on my shoulders. Moments when I felt like I had failed, wasn't good enough, even that I was better than my situation, better than trusting in God's plan and timing. And it's quite crazy how no matter what, God always brings you back, to the place where you realize its not about you. It is so easy to say words and not feel it in your heart. So many times I would say, "I know what God says, I know exactly how he tells us to get through the tough times, but I don't WANT to do that. I don't want to be the biblical wife I am called to be when my circumstances aren't ideal. I don't want to serve others when my needs aren't met. I don't want to keep my mouth shut when I feel like spiting out hateful words. I don't want to wait for my perfect home." And yet through all the disobedience I still wanted to be blessed. I still was begging for clarity and happiness. I kept telling God how <i>worthy </i>I was, and he kept telling me how <b>unworthy</b> I was but he loved me still. I have battled with God over what I deserved and he just kept telling me that my contentment is not in the things I have in this life but in Him and Him alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't matter if I go to church every sunday, it doesn't matter if I read a thousand books, it doesn't matter how much knowledge I have, it only matters that my life is changed so much that when my husband and daughter look at me they see Jesus. I had a friend tell me a while back that she saw a bumper sticker that said "life with Jesus is better" and she said it reminded her of me. I don't think she understands what that meant at the time, but I will never forget it. The problem that I have now is, do my husband and daughter see Jesus in me when I let my anger get the best of me and yell and be disrespectful? I realize God's tests are not to grade us, but to grow us. It doesn't matter if you "got through" the trial, it matters that you learned from it. We will never be worthy, we will miss the mark every single time. But I am loved so much by a God that passionately pursues me every single day, and I owe it to Him to passionately seek him in everything I do, in my marriage, in my motherhood, in my friendships, in my work, and in the core of my being.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am, feeling clarified. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God promises he will provide. Just because he isn't providing me with what I want right here and now, doesn't mean he is a liar. It means that I am to <b>trust the promise <i>giver</i> MORE than the promises <i>given</i></b>. He will fulfill his promises. Today, tomorrow, maybe 10 years from now. But my contentment comes from faithfulness and passionately pursuing the heart of God like he passionately pursued us in his love story called The Bible.</div>

What an incredible week I have had being back in good ol' Arizona! I have definitely missed this place more than words can explain. There is honestly nothing better than spending time with this <strike>crazy</strike> amazing family of mine. This weekend we had friends and family over for some roping and riding and it was GREAT to see everyone. I am so looking forward to many more weekends just like this, especially with the weather being as perfect as it is =] And maybe I will ride next time... when I am not deathly afraid of the horse bucking me off...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also looking forward to getting behind the camera for more candid shots like these! I am so used to taking posed photos [or somewhat at least] so this kind of stuff is more out of my comfort zone... mostly because I know its kind of awkward having someone randomly taking a photo of you if your not expecting it... or even worse... if you are expecting it and you don't know what to do... =0 Its really awkward for everyone involved, including me, I mean, I gotta sit there and creep and stalk people... Its also out of my comfort zone because it means I need to adjust my camera over and over with the different lighting situations and it can be frustrating! Once again, its easy when I am doing posed shots because I don't have to adjust the lens too much, and I have already scoped the location out and figured out what settings I need. All this bright sunshine stuff was interesting to get right let me tell you! Anyways, here's our fun day with friends and family!</div>

<b>Likes:</b> Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The end. Kiddinggg, this girl likes so much these days =] She is definitely a huge fan of Mickey though... Disney Land is going to be the highlight of her life one day! She is LOVING eating food, as of yesterday she has been yelling at me with her mouth open when she wants more baby food! I can't get it in her mouth fast enough! She still loves to bounce, all the time. Started rolling around to get where she wants, not pro status yet, but she's a determined little thing! And she really likes to just be put down in her crib when she's tired, she almost dislikes being held, which is one of those things I can't really complain about, its so nice knowing I can get things done while she's in there putting herself to sleep!<br />
<b>Dislikes:</b> She is really pretty happy about everything these days, the only thing that I know she hates is being left in a room by herself, unless she is watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... or if she doesn't see you walk out.<br />
<b>Milestones: </b>She is rolling from her belly to back finally so she doesn't get so upset when she can't roll back over. Started giving her those wafer-like baby "mum mum's", she's diggin those =] And we are getting more adventurous with her baby food which I think she is LOVING.<br />
<b>Things I don't want to forget:</b> When we first got back to Arizona she was TOTALLY not liking men! I want to say that it is because her daddy wasn't around so maybe she was just confused but it was funny and kinda sad! My dad picked us us from the airport and the second she got a look at him she was crying, and then when we got to the house his wife held her and she was fine, but if she heard her grandpa, saw him, or my goodness if he held her she was freaking out. Then when we got to Joel's side of the family's, Grandpa Gib was playing with her and she was soooo unsure of it and started getting that quivering lip. She warmed up eventually, we just gotta test my dad out again to be sure =]<br />

I needed to get some baby food for Faith since we came back to Arizona and I haven't had time to make any yet. Just within the first two pouches, I have come to LOVE the "Ella's Kitchen" brand! They have the coolest flavor combos and Faith loves that its organic too! Ok so maybe Im the one thats liking the organic factor ;] But she seems to be loving the taste cause she can't seem to get enough! WIN! Its on the pricey side, but there is a lot of convenience to it so I understand. I think maybe I will do half and half making my own baby food and getting these things for a treat for her =] Cause Im not so sure I necessarily feel like pureeing apples, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and blueberries together... Im willing to bet theres a science to getting that right!</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"You'll be her first role model, her first friend, her first love. You are her mom and she is your whole world, she is your little girl."</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I read the quote above, I pictured myself about a year ago, placing my hand on my precious mom-to-be belly thinking up all of the amazing moments I would get to have with my daughter. Fast forward to an hour ago when my daughter is screaming at me because I placed her down to change her diaper, as if I am holding her down to give her her 6 month shots!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My point is, that in those first few months of motherhood I had NO idea what journey I was embarking on and my goodness did I not know what kind of parent I would be when night after night I am waking up every couple of hours to feed my poor crying baby. As the days go on, the dark under eye circles continue to get darker, eyes are bloodshot, cooking is a no, you question whether or not you brushed your teeth today, and you know for sure that you haven't showered in a FEW. I would think , "This whole mothering thing seemed a lot more beautiful than <i>this </i>in my head<i>." </i>Even though I had a few people warn me and reassure me that the beginning of this baby's life was not going to be anything I expected, I STILL felt some kind of horrible for disliking this whole parenting thing. I felt like <i>everyone else</i> sat there gazing at their beautiful babies sleeping and meanwhile my baby is sleeping and I am desperately trying to hurry up and wash bottles so I might be able to lay down and sleep for 30 minutes!<br />
<br />
Now, everyone is different, every situation is different, everyone's patience levels are different. So while I absolutely love my child and wouldn't trade her for the world, I struggled in the beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was just searching for that smile that would light up my world for those middle of the night feedings and they are just so emotionless in the beginning. Someone else might have had a better breastfeeding experience than I did, someone else might have had more patience in dealing with the crying, and someone else might have enjoyed seeing their baby in the middle of the night. Who knows! I just know I have a newfound respect for moms no matter what their experience is/was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My biggest struggle being a first time mom started with trying to do the "right thing" every moment of the day. I was doing tons of research to find the very best answers to everything! I put SO much pressure on myself over things that I look back on and think "why"? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I was <b>dedicated</b> to writing down <i>every</i> single feeding, <i>exact</i> times, <i>exact</i> minutes on each breast or ounces from the bottle, followed by<i> exact</i> times I pumped, and <i>exact</i> ounces pumped. If I forgot to write one of those down I would be frantically searching my brain to figure out what time it was.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I tried to not use a pacifier in fear of her becoming too attached to it</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I tried to let her "cry it out" in fear of her being too attached to me</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I tried to keep her from falling asleep in my arms in fear that she wouldn't ever be able to self soothe herself to sleep</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I made sure she always slept in her swing for naps and always had noise around her so as she got bigger we wouldn't have to tip toe around</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I tried to capture a million pictures of her because they say they are little for a short while and you blink and they are 5 years old. But in the beginning was absent from most of the photos because I didn't find the time to take care of myself and when photo ops came, I hadn't showered since Saturday and it was now Monday. I refused to be in pictures. Hello REGRET.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of these things I had read up on or come across that were telling me what the "perfect mom" should do or would do, and the pressure was on. I felt as though I had something to prove, especially being a <i>young </i>mom. As if the world is watching, waiting for you to make a mistake, <b><i>I</i></b> was waiting to make a mistake because it was all so new to me. I say this because before I was a mom, I know I was the one critiquing the moms I would see around and say to myself that I would "never" do that. I remember one time in particular while I was working at AE, there was a new mom in the store strolling her newborn around and her baby started screaming. All of us working were not parents, nor had any idea what it is like to be a parent and we all looked at each other like, "Geez don't you know how to calm your baby down?" As if there is some science to it that every mother is supposed to know. I would say "shame on you" to myself on that day. I look back now and think GOOD FOR HER! She managed to shower, get dressed, put make up on, get the baby dressed, fed, and out the door to get some fresh air. I only hope she didn't feel like she had something to prove either! So as time has passed and Faith is getting into a better schedule thats not <i>as </i>demanding, I am coming to some serious realizations about what I thought I knew and what a waste all the stress was...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>So what if I forgot to write down the time of a feeding. I made myself crazy thinking that if I didn't write down every single thing in this journal, my daughter was going to somehow forget to eat at her next feeding... YEAH RIGHT. <b>Lesson learned</b>: I could have set things up easier for myself, maybe used a white board and hung it up where I was going to feed her and just jot down the last time I fed her. Oh yeah, and maybe actually get a rocking chair =]</li>
<li>I ultimately gave her the pacifier. And guess what, the fact that she needs her bink to fall asleep and I have to make sure she has it, is ultimately more rewarding for me than having a screaming baby...<b> Lesson learned:</b> I chose the pacifier and if I have to try to ween her off of it one day, then Ill figure that out then... but for now, the pro outweighs the con for me!</li>
<li>I just don't think she is a baby that needs to "cry it out". She cried if she needed something, even if she needed extra snuggles from her mama, Im the only familiar thing she knows so I don't blame her!</li>
<li>Not letting her fall asleep in my arms has been both a blessing and a curse. I am glad that I don't have to hold her till she falls asleep every time she sleeps, but I wish I wasn't SO anti-baby holding... because now I have a baby that doesn't do the whole "cuddling" thing at all. And gosh dang it I want to cuddle her! <b>Lesson learned: </b>I created what I actually didn't want all because I was convinced it was the "right thing to do" to help her be independent. So what if I held her while she slept from time to time...</li>
<li>I was so psycho about her napping in her swing instead of her crib which would make it impossible to get stuff done cause I didn't want to wake her... even if she was used to noise, its just common curtesy to be as quite as you can when someone is sleeping... <b>Lesson learned:</b> I could have maybe put her swing in her room instead... but instead I wasn't really thinking at all!</li>
<li>And while I look back at all the pictures I have of her, I am SO glad I have them. But I feel like I put too much pressure on myself over them... I would scroll through millions of photos on pinterest thinking, "WHAT THE HECK! These are so adorable! Why don't I have these kinds of photos??" and I just made myself crazy over stupid stuff like I don't have good enough lighting in here, our sheets should be white, our furniture should be white, our walls should be painted, and we need people to take photos of us playfully laughing and smiling at our baby that allowed about 2 hours of sleep total the night before. Too. Much. Nonsense. <b>Lesson learned:</b> Who cares =] As long as we have pictures thats good enough!</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I digress. Enough stress! Your mama instincts are way better than any advice anyone has. Don't get me wrong, some tips and tricks can be great. I have learned a lot from other mamas I admire and respect, but there are things that you will know about your child better than anyone else. Just make sure you take the advice as just that... <b>advice</b>... not the <b style="font-style: italic;">rule. </b>The bond between you and your baby is the most incredible thing, and in all of the stressing its only because of that famous saying "we only want the best for our child". Just be careful as to <i>whose </i>"best" we are going off of. Let me tell you, <b>You are a perfectly imperfect mom.</b> And <i>THAT</i> is the beauty of motherhood.<br />
<br />
These are the moments I looked forward to! =]<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I reflect on the past year I realize that ultimately we have been hibernating in our own little world with our new baby girl. And while it has been quite <i>boring</i> and <i>lonely</i> with all of our friends and family back home in Arizona, our best friends moving to California, and all of the guys being deployed in Afghanistan, it has also given me new appreciation for this life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can I appreciate boredom and loneliness you ask? Because it gave me time. Time to reflect, time to learn, time to find inspiration from other wives and moms in an online community that I never knew existed, and time to explore my own dreams and desires. It gave me a moment in time {<b>which in the moment felt way more than a moment</b>} to be away from the hustle and bustle and just spend time with the ones I love the most, my husband and daughter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The new chapter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As this year begins, so does a new chapter for us, we get to go home <i>finally!</i> This is so huge and will be such an incredible while also scary adjustment. Four years in the Marines has been the biggest test to my patience, my marriage, and above all else, my faithfulness to my God. I don't want to be boo hooing over being a Marine wife, but all I will say is, its not easy by any means. I do believe everything happens for a reason and I believe that we needed to go through some of the roughest patches of our life and marriage to be what we are today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything was always "picture perfect" for us when we were dating {before the military, a deployment, and back surgery} and I always said that things "felt too good to be true" and that there was going to be something that had to come along and test us and then BAM military life came and my world of what I knew and what I thought life should be {according to my worldly view} completely changed. However, I am coming to see the <i>blessing</i> through it all more and more every day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God puts us in what I like to call a waiting room, and in the moment it feels like a millennium and there is doubt and fear and wonder of what comes after this, and lots of questions of "why?" And then you get called to the next stage and that last stage you were in suddenly becomes clear. It all led to growth, growth of character {through mistakes and accomplishments}, of marriage, of motherhood, of my own dreams and desires for God's glory.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Making 2014 Count!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So now, here it is, 2014. The year I have been impatiently waiting for. And I want to MAKE IT COUNT! I know resolutions can be a little cliche and people always say that if you need to make a change in your life then it shouldn't matter what day of the year it is, but I do believe that it is in fact good to reevaluate yourself at the end of the year, and a new year marks a new beginning so why not have goals for the new year? I commend anyone for wanting to make a change for the better no matter what the day! So with a ton of "newness" going on, my two words (couldn't come up with just one!) for 2014 is...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">REAL and FEARLESS. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope to approach all of these new and scary and exciting experiences without fear. I want to glorify God though it all, and being fearful of rejection, embarrassment, or what is to come, is obviously Satan's work. This life is such an incredible thing and even through those "issues" life is still just as wonderful. With this in mind, I don't want to try to shove these feelings under the rug, I hope to be <b>real</b> and connect with others in that realness. How else will I be a light for God to shine through if I pretend everything is perfect? Its through Gods mercy and grace that I make it through my trials, and I can only be <b>fearless</b> that He will get me through!</div>

1. <b>I hope to create more time in my schedule to blog-</b> I really do love blogging, I love being able to write out whats on my mind and I hope to encourage others. My blogging has been lack and I actually hate it. I love seeing new posts from other blogs I love and I (embarrassingly) feel connected to these women for their honesty. I hope to share my honesty for other women too and inspire us all to be REAL, our lives are not "pinterest perfect" and it doesn't have to be! We can find the beauty in our own lives without fantasizing about what it "could be". Something I am willing to admit I struggle with daily!<br />
<br />
2. <b>Create a business I am proud of- </b>My sister and I are in the beginning phases of a new business, and we are just in our brainstorming phase. So the more I am brainstorming I am realizing that my wants and desires for the business is to be a business <b>for others</b>. That may sound kind of dumb because <i>obviously</i> its about the customer, but, I want to go beyond the customer and be a blessing to others.<br />
A few things we are sure of, no matter how much success we have in the business {considering handmade items is already a HUGE market we are stepping into} is that we definitely want to be affordable, we want to create lots of opportunities for free stuff {because we could ALL use a pick me up and who doesn't enjoy getting something with no strings attached!?}, and lastly we want to make the customers dollar go a little farther and <b>give</b> a percent to a world in need. I think I know of the charity we are going to be giving to but not completely sure yet. I completely believe we are "blessed to be a blessing" and if I am lucky enough to get any amount of success through this business I feel it is only right to bless someone from it. My motivation for this comes from Matthew 25.<br />
<br />
<i><span class="text Matt-25-35" id="en-NIV-24044">For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,</span><span class="text Matt-25-36" id="en-NIV-24045"><span class="versenum" style="vertical-align: top;"> </span>I needed clothes and you clothed me,<span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-24045D" title="See cross-reference D">D</a>)"></span> I was sick and you looked after me,<span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-24045E" title="See cross-reference E">E</a>)"></span> I was in prison and you came to visit me.’</span><span class="text Matt-25-37" id="en-NIV-24046"><span class="versenum" style="vertical-align: top;"> </span>“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?</span> <span class="text Matt-25-38" id="en-NIV-24047">When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?</span> <span class="text Matt-25-39" id="en-NIV-24048">When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’</span></i><br />

<span class="text Matt-25-40"><b><br /></b></span>
<span class="text Matt-25-40"><b>Matthew 25:35-40</b></span><br />
<br />
3. <b>Take the time to appreciate the littleness- </b>This may be the last thing on <i>this</i> list, but it is definitely one of my top priorities. It's funny because right before I wrote this I was down on the floor playing with my daughter and telling her how much I truly loved her and went on a rant about my hopes and dreams for her {even if she has NO clue what I am saying, I will tell her every chance I get!} and as I go to pick her up to give her lots of smooches... I realize this diaper stood no chance against, yet again, this explosive bum that keeps producing massive amounts of poop. And normally I am so frustrated but I sat there for a minute and just laughed. I know that her first year is going to go by like the blink of an eye so I want to worry less about what is "the right thing to do" and do more of what my gut tells me. Because Im her momma... and well... Momma knows best ;]</div>

<b>Likes:</b> Faith absolutely positively LOVES to jump. All day long she is a jumping bean! Since we started solids she likes everything we've given her, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, bananas, and apples! Starting to see her have preferences (tried to feed her peas, kept turning her head till she got some apples! Spoiled.) Still likes car rides! My favorite "like" that she has is her love of mama's singing =] Literally the second the words "hush little baby...." come out of my mouth, her eyes are heavy and all is right in her world! The trick to getting her to sleep is singing that song and bouncing her, not rocking... just bouncing. And she's out like a light! Lastly, she goes crazy over gnawing on an apple in one of those mesh pacifier looking things.</div>

<b>Dislikes: </b>The moment we leave the room. As if we have walked out the door, got in the car, and drove off without her. She's starting to not like her swing as much, though I can't figure out if her hatred is for going down for a nap or the swing... maybe both... either way... her screams test my patience more than I ever thought they would!</div>

<b>Milestones: </b>Big month! Started eating solids this month, really reaching for things and grabbing them, and she is starting to sit up on her own, with my hands 2 inches away from her of course, but she's not totally folded over like a taco... well, not the whole time at least.... just when she gets tired of it =] </div>

<b>Don't want to forget: </b>This is probably something a normal human would not wish to remember however our reaction was so priceless I wish someone was recording it! We were decorating our first <i>real </i>Christmas tree and Faith was just bouncing away in her chair and she just starting ripping em! Went to pick her up and there was s*** EVERYWHERE. Did one of those "hold the baby as far away from you as possible" holds and ran up the stairs to get her in the bath, her door was closed so Im yelling for Joel "JOEL HURRY GET THE DOOR!" he comes up gets the door and I get her shirt and pants off just covered in crap and then got to the REAL deal. The diaper. I have never in my life seen so much poop in a little tinnie tiny baby! Joel and I were just franticly trying to figure out our next move breaking down each step to each other "alright you get the bath going" "you hold her Ill pull her pants off" "you get the washer going and wash the bouncer and these clothes" "you do the diaper I can't do this poop" << mind you those were not my words.... imagine my face when he said that haha! You had to be there, but it was hilarious... she was just content as ever =]</div>

Her schedule has finally let up a little! We are down to 5 feedings which is pretty nice I must say! Along with only 3 pumpings in a day, I am a happy camper! Its crazy, absolutely crazy to be able to go out and do something and not have this insane schedule to work through and only have like a half an hour to get somewhere and back... this little bit of freedom is life changing! Also, being that I am able to sleep through the night.... my goodness... no words. All that hard work keeping my supply going has totally paid off. Still pump about 48 oz which is still well over what she needs so soon I will be pumping twice a day and feeding her everything she needs still... WHAAAT?? I am finally at the point where I don't mind pumping at all, and so now I feel like, what do I have all this excess stored up for when I can just continue doing this??... Im losing calories and keeping the milk fresh! I will probably stop in a couple months and use the stored up stuff so she can get breastmilk till she is one when she switches to vitamin d milk =]</div>

<i>[[Post Edit: If you <b>do</b> read this part... know that I <strike>talk</strike> rant about pumping so much because I am so proud of what I accomplished!

This is what I have stored at Joels parents house... and this was only from a few weeks of being there... about 1300 oz there, and unfortunately the 350 oz or so here will go to waste along with all that other milk Ive pumped and dumped since we will be moving back to AZ in a month or so will go "bad" in about a month anyways =[ Id say Im a milk making machine and am VERY proud of my body... almost feel stupid for putting so much pressure on myself over it... but... I guess this is how I got to where I am, I put in some serious work! </div>

[[Seriously though... no wonder I dropped weight fast... Just in the estimated stored up milk I have, Ive burned 33,000 calories! If I take it another step and add up her daily intake of milk since she was born thats about 110,000 calories which is roughly 700 calories burned every day.... NOT including 2 months I had to pump and DUMP all my extra...! When I was making about 70-80 oz a day that was about 1500 calories. JUST BREAST FEEDING!]] If I could go back I would seriously just appreciate that I was burning all those calories just by sitting there for about 20 minutes instead of complaining about how much I hated it... Also would have let myself sleep through the night instead of setting my alarm to wake up in the middle of the night after those first 12 weeks when the supply is supposedly "established" I was just SO fearful of losing the supply and theres not a lot of information on exclusively pumping so I was winging it... Im now down to sitting here for about 10 minutes and getting 16 oz out... It is safe to say, I have been BLESSED. The only complaint I have now is that I don't fit in shirts like I used to... I miss having small tata's. My heart still goes out to all the women with big boobs, rough life! I take back the day I "wished for bigger boobs". And thank the heavens I never got a boob job.</div>

<b>Likes:</b> HAS to have something in her face when she sleeps, so for a while we would have her buried in blankets but my dad (the worrier) wasn't a fan so now we have one of those little tiny cloths that have the animal on the top... um... I don't even know how to explain those things... but whatever, she sleeps with it now and dads not so worried anymore. Win. She also has a thing for fans and the glowing pumpkin at Nana's! When the TV is on, she is glued. Especially if baby mozart is on! Since we got back home we watch cartoons with Faith and Joel and I will just forget to change the channel until we realize we have been watching Doc Mcstuffins for 20 minutes after Faith fell asleep....

<b>Things I don't want to forget:</b> At 15 weeks she was making this gurgling noise in her throat and we would go back and forth and she would laughhhh and laughhhh!

Being back in Arizona definitely makes me appreciate the hubby ten times more. Its exhausting not having another pair of hands. Not that the family isn't a huge help, its just not the same without daddy! Its especially hard to keep up with blogging, when I finally get a minute to relax all I want to do is sit on the couch and turn my brain off. I know, boo hoo. It is getting a little easier as Faith gets more coordinated and is becoming entertained by toys now. Trying to keep a baby, with the attention span of about 30 seconds, entertained by your talking and bouncing and facial expressions alone is ridiculously tiring! Boy oh boy I cant wait for her to be able to grab toys and sit up on her own.... then Im sure Ill be missing her long naps! Really need to take a moment to appreciate her littleness =] I am loving that her personality is starting to come out, she smiles all the time and is SO talkative. Her cry is still the funniest thing sometimes, I feel like I have got each cry pretty much deciphered now! I love it when she starts getting crazy fussy and Im like, "Oh she's just tired" and then 10 seconds later she yawns, Im like, NAILED IT! ;]</div>

The schedule fluctuates but this is what our days look like basically! Faith is starting to sleep longer for her afternoon nap which is great, will be easier to transition her when we start lessening the feedings!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Schedule</span><br />
3:30-4:00am- Pump<br />
5-5:30am- Goooood morning Faith<br />
7:30am- Pump<br />
8:00am- Feed<br />
11:00am- Feed<br />
11:30am- Pump<br />
3:00pm- Feed<br />
3:30pm- Pump<br />
6:00pm- Feed and bath every other night<br />
7:30pm- Pump<br />
9:00pm- Feed and down for the night<br />
9:30pm- Pump and GOOD NIGHT<br />
<br />
By the end of the day Faith has eaten about 25-28 ounces and I have pumped about 70-80 ounces... Hoarding milk like my life depended on it. Thank the heavens for deep freezers! Hoping to be done pumping in 2 months or so. It will be the happiest day of my life. Seriously. By the end of the week I should have about 2 months worth of milk stocked up... and thats just what I accumulated over the past 3-4 weeks! Woah!<br />

Since Faith and I will be without Joel for about 3 or so months while I (fingers crossed, prayers requested!!) get a job in Arizona, we were trying to figure out something to do as a family that was inexpensive. So what better thing to do than go have a picnic in the park! Especially on a day like today, it was sooo nice out with little humidity and cool weather =] We are gonna miss daddy while we are away, so I made sure to get tons of pictures of them together! He is even going to take her on a daddy daughter date tomorrow so I can pack (in peace ;]) and get the laundry and whatnot done =] </div>

It's amazing how much of an impact the military has had on us... my dad just pointed out the other day that we are totally ok with being apart from one another for such a long time and that its totally not normal haha... which made me think about it and question why its not as hard as most would think it would be, and I realized that we are just used to it really, not that Joel has been on a million deployments but when we first started going through time apart between boot camp, schooling, work ups, and the deployment, I got out all of my crazed frustrations and learned how to cope without him... really benefited us in the long run (not that I saw it as a "growing" experience at the time... it was more of a nightmare then lol) so I see this time apart as just another "growing" experience and am ready to learn about my capabilities... especially with a baby this time! We will surely miss each other but understand that providing for our growing family is a must and jobs don't just fall into your lap on a daily basis... Plus we are in the 21st century... theres a thing called Skype ;] Woop woop!</div>

Speaking of going to Arizona, I just have to point out how great our God is! I cannot even believe how he has had his hand in all of this from the moment Joel found out he wasn't going to reenlist. Not too soon after I posted the blog about getting out of the Marine Corps one of my best friends from middle school contacted me and told be about a job opportunity at her office! I am so hopeful my interview goes well next week and I can call my self an admissions/enrollment advisor at B.E.S.T.! Everything about it is so great and works so well for me its like I hand picked the job myself! Plus, just a little added bonus, I get my schooling paid for... ummm yes please! Then she tells me she has someone who can babysit for me come December, so that Im not basically paying rent at a daycare! And as if God hasn't done enough, the daycare my dad takes my little sister to has a wait list so I call around hoping I find something that has an opening otherwise I wouldn't be starting work anytime soon, and then come to find out there is a place that JUST got 5 spots open right away and half off registration and first week only $100 bucks... YAY! I don't know if I am putting enough emphasis on how much all of these things seriously impact the future, but it is honestly the most incredible feeling knowing God is hard at work in your life making sure you are provided for <3</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me begin by saying, most of society is crap. When I wasn't following along on Instagram and blogs with what I like to call, "The Clean Eaters of America", I was sucked into a world of lies. I can't even tell you how many times I see and hear "Heres a fab diet that will make you lose 7 pounds in 7 days", "Lose the fat FAST by juice fasting", "Buy this *insert some workout equipment* and you will have a 6 pack in no time at all". All of these gimmicks to make people <i>think</i> they will have the body they want with some magical weight loss joke. I say this because I have fallen for it PLENTY of times. "<i>Oh maybe if I do a juice fast for a month I'll lose those extra few pounds I've been dying to get rid of, or maybe if I get Body by Vi, that will do the trick, or maybe just maybe if I cut out all sweets I'll be fit again</i>"...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here's the reality...</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Juice fasting</b> can be great for a detox or a spiritual fast but it is not a lifestyle, you will end up going back to your normal ways of eating and in a matter of a couple of days you will have gained all that weight back because you have not established healthy lifestyle that works for you and trust me its not something you are a pro at overnight.<i> Im no pro.</i></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Body by vi</b> and any other meal replacement diets are once again not lifestyle options... (Do not get me wrong, body by vi can be fine if you are using it for some kind of protein drink in between meals or after a workout, sure, but you can also just get a big ol' tub of regular protein powder for half the price or just get your proteins and nutrients from your food... your call.) The problem with the weight loss programs that offer special drinks and food to help you lose weight is that you and I both know we will never just live off of a drink and we will never consistently wait for our Nutrisystem to come in the mail and eat that food and ONLY that food for the rest of our lives. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Cutting certain foods out</b> of your diet is only setting yourself up for failure... you will not go your entire life without having some kind of sweets... you are human... and you will only feel guilty if you eat something you vowed not to eat. <i>*Just the other day I was at Sam's club and they had their little sample stands and there it was, a bite sized raspberry cheesecake calling my name, so guess what, <b>I ATE IT</b>, and didn't feel bad about it because first of all I didn't overindulge in an entire cake and second of all I know that I am human and, well... <b>I like raspberry cheesecake</b>.</i> </li>
</ul>
<span style="text-align: left;">Notice a trend? Extreme dieting is not the answer. I am sure you have heard all of this once before, but I think we tend to forget that the quick "fixes" don't work, we are just hopeful maybe it will be different this time. The only way to successfully lose/maintain weight and take control of your health is to create a lifestyle to meet the needs of your body. Your body wants all kinds of good and wholesome foods, and maybe it wants a bite of some raspberry cheesecake, and thats ok! ;] Just don't decide to buy the cake and eat the whole thing by yourself! </span><span style="text-align: left;">If you stop worrying about how you</span><b style="text-align: left;"> look</b><span style="text-align: left;"> and worry more about how you </span><b style="text-align: left;">feel</b><span style="text-align: left;"> you will see that making simple adjustments to your diet can make a huge difference to your health, looking great is just a side affect from eating great and exercising! How nice =]</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Keep it simple.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the beauties of clean eating is the<b> simplicity</b>. Most of what you need to know can actually be passed down from the older generations, they knew how to keep it simple and inexpensive! Back in the day they didn't have all of the complicated processed foods we have today, they had gardens and farms that produced them with nutritious meals. Now our world has turned to boxed this, and packaged that, we are having to read all kinds of labels and half of the things we can't even pronounce! They try to trick us with flashy packaging that says low cal, low fat, low this, low that... lies. DON'T FALL FOR IT! They make things so complicated and I don't know about you, but <i>Im feeling 22 (... for all you Taylor Swift fans ;])</i> but seriously, I don't like complicated... We go to the grocery store and buy some granola bars thinking they are going to be a great snack, and then you look at the label and see that you could basically eat a mickey d's cheeseburger for the same amount of nutrition! Then we stare at huge aisles filled with hundreds of cereals and millions of different condiments when it can be so much easier, find the one that has the best nutritional value and grab it and go! Maybe even realize that sometimes you don't actually need the extra stuff anyways... (Something I learned from a good friend... cereal really has no nutritional value anyways-- even cheerios-- so eat your eggs, oatmeal, fruits, and veggies for breakfast! You will feel so much more energized!)<br />
<b>Food is meant to be fuel for your body, so stop putting coco puffs in your gas tank!</b><br />

After 4 years of being in the marine corps, its finally SEE YA LATER! =] Can you believe it?? I sure can't! So many trips back to AZ just to visit and now the next trip is going to be coming home for good! Sunshine filled days, lakes, and rivers, and snow, and desert, and FOOD! I get my Joe's Farm Grill, and Chipotle, and Costa Vida, and Uncle Bears! More importantly I get my FAMILY back! Faith gets to grow up with her grandparents and aunts and "uncles" which is everything to me. Im so excited I could kiss a cactus! We still don't have details on much of anything right now, all I know is that hopefully in December baby Faith and I will be back home searching for a job and a place to live and then my baby daddy will soon follow in January/February. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
While it is super exciting it is also super stressful so please pray for us that we will have a smooth transition. All we have known is military life so adjusting to something different is going to be interesting to say the least! I will try to keep everyone updated as much as possible when I find more things out, as for now, I would totally appreciate it if anyone knows of any job openings when the time gets closer, I would really like some type of office/receptionist job but willing to do whatever comes my way =]</div>

<i>*There have been a lot of people wanting to get a shoot done and I just haven't been able to due to the unpredictability of my lens, however, I plan on getting my lens checked out when I come home so hopefully it will be up and working 100% and I can start doing shoots again =] Let me know if you are going to want to do a shoot so we can book something or so we can come back to it when the time gets closer but just so I have an idea =] It will be Christmas time so hello family portraits ;] Finances will be tight so any little shoot will help us!</i></div>

<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">And it begins...</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am FINALLY getting on my "health kick" for good. It has been SO hard to start a new routine with so many people visiting and coming out for vacations. Okay yes, people being here is no excuse for eating crappy but starting a lifestyle change is not something that is easy overnight, add caring for a baby and entertaining company and it feels impossible. So now its just us, getting into our routines and we are motivated... thats right... <b>WE</b>. Joel and I are both on what we like to call "Project hot mom/dad" ;] When I leave for the gym its no longer referred to as "going to the gym"... its "Im going to get my project hot mom on" hehe. Keep it fun =]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that being said, be ready for lots of food pictures on insta! My view is this... posting pictures of what I am eating is kind of like an accountability partner, so... "If I don't want to take a picture of it for everyone to see, then I probably shouldn't be eating it". Not like I'll be posting my food for every meal I eat every day of my life, but it will help me to post some now till it becomes a lifestyle for me! I follow so many people on instagram that are so motivating and I love seeing new food and work outs to try so I can only hope I can inspire and motivate people too! I promise to not try and sound like I am some genius nutritionist that has found the secret recipe to life ;] We all know I am a plain jane normal human being learning new things every day! I also promise to not post pictures of my half naked body for you all to see... disturbing... #myhusbandistheonlyonethatshouldseemyunderwear... yeah I just hash tagged on my blog ;]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a child really makes you want to do the best you can in every aspect of your life. She is watching me, and everything I do. Maybe not understanding anything I do right now, but soon enough she will understand. So when I'm inhaling a double bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's on Monday, shoving cookies down my throat on Wednesday, and slurping a Starbucks double chocolate chip frappuccino on Friday, she will mimic me and I will be the cause of unhealthy eating habits. As I have said five million times... I refuse to say "do as I say, not as I do." Refuse. I am starting good habits now, to teach her good habits later! (Note: Im not going to deprive her of a dang happy meal every now any then... don't think I'm going to be the worlds meanest mom ;])</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So anyways, I am excited for the future because I know how good it feels to put yummy goodness in my body. I was eating great the week before Bailey and Marqus got here, lost 4 pounds and my skin and hair felt great, then when I started eating crap again I got a headache that lasted 2 days... my body knows whats best, I just have to listen to it better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Being without Facebook update...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pros and cons to no Facebook, however, more pros! I still forget and catch myself going to click the FB button on my phone and every once in a while when I get on the computer to edit pictures or update the blog I get on Joel's just to check in on some people that I miss seeing posts from but other than that it has been pretty life changing... I get to enjoy life and its moments more! That habit of sitting on facebook when I'm "bored" has turned into doing more productive things with that time! Or scrolling through instagram lol but the good thing about intsagram is there are only like 3 new pictures every hour so it doesn't suck me in like FB =] So if your thinking about getting rid of Facebook or maybe even fasting from FB (sounds ridiculous but I think there are a ton of people that should be without social media for a bit!), I promise it really is worth it!<br />
<br />
Its all worth it for this beauty! She makes me happy when skies are gray <3<br />
Don't Judge my make-up-less face. Im a mom now ;]<br />

[[Day at the Beach]]<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tootie's first day at the beach was a HUGE success! She loved it. We picked a great day to go since the weather was warm with overcast and it wasn't crazy windy like it usually is! When the breeze hit her face for the first time she closed her eyes like she was taking a deep breath of the fresh air =] Safe to say she is a fan of the great outdoors. I seriously couldn't get enough of her in her bikini! Every 5 minutes I kept saying how ADORABLE she was, I mean common, look at her! We plan on going tomorrow too since she loved it so much. This time we might try to twist the lid on all the way and <i>not</i> drop her bottle leaving us with one measly ounce... opps! Enjoy the photos of this beach bum!</div>

This post is longg over due but we have just had so much company the past 6 weeks its been nuts! I couldn't be more thankful for all of our visitors that came to love on our little bundle of joy. Even if it has been a little tiring ;] We had visitors from Arizona, West Virginia, Virginia, Charlotte and Ashville NC, and South Carolina! I'm so glad there were so many people that got to see Faith as a newborn. Being that all the guys are deployed and we are so far away from home I wasn't too sure who was going to get to see her but it all worked out well! Here's a little break down of the past few weeks!<br />

<ul>
<li>Cheryl came and was here for a week before Faith got here! I still feel so bad she only got to spend 2 days with her but I am just glad she got to see her at all. For a while there I was so worried she would miss the whole birth and instead she got to be in the delivery room with us =] I actually surprised myself letting her be in there... I mean... My "hoo ha" was just out for the world to see... but its really true what they say, "All modesty goes out the window when your in that kind of pain" I am so happy she got to be apart of it!</li>
<li>My dad came next which was SO great! It is still hard to believe that MY dad, the man that has raised me my whole life, is now a <i>grandpa</i> to <b>my </b>daughter!!!! My dad is one of those people that doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve (one of those traits I get from him ;]), but on this trip in particular, he was smiling more than I have ever seen and being so playful with Faith =] My heart completely melted! I am and will always be a daddy's girl so now my dad will have a grandpa's girl too ;] </li>
<li>The same time my dad was here most of my family planned a surprise trip to see us. It turned out to not be a surprise after all but was STILL so sweet that they all came out! Its crazy that they all live only a few hours away and we don't ever get to see them. For the most part of my life none of my family has lived close by so for a while it felt like I fell out of touch with everyone, but things have totally turned around and every time we all get together its like no time has passed at all! I seriously adore this family of mine and am so thankful for everything they have done for us!</li>
<li>My mom came out next and the Hanson household was down for the count haha! Joel got a viral infection in his throat and I got mastitis (which was the most miserable thing EVER especially having a baby to take care of! Theres nothing worse than body aches, fever, nausea, and chills, and not being able to rest at all because I still had to pump every 2 hours!) It was a huge help though having someone here to help with Faith. Even though we weren't great hosts, the timing for my mom to be here worked out in our favor for sure... her favor too I assume because that meant extra cuddle time with Faith lol.</li>
<li>Albert came down from VA with his girlfriend for a weekend and of course got me to have some sangria! I only had 2 glasses and STILL woke up with that crappy cotton mouth yucky feeling in the morning. Honestly... having a drink at this point is not fun at all lol. Breast milk is gold and when I had to "pump n' dump" it... I just stared at these full bottles of pure gold as I poured it down the drain. Depressing. Us mommas work hard for every drop! I mean common, I have to burn 20 calories to express that milk! haha. Anyways, glad he got to come down to visit with us =]</li>
<li>Our latest guest was Owens! Was only here for a day but it was good to catch up with him. He's a drill instructor in South Carolina so it was only fitting he was having Faith do drills ;] He also wakes up before the sun comes up on the reg and Joel sleeps in till basically the sun goes down so poor guy had my lame tired company at 5 in the morning hehe! Oh well, Oakley just loves this guy, and cuddled with him all day and night =]</li>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">All about Faith</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Weight:</b> (At 3 weeks) 8 lb. 5 oz</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Nicknames:</b> Mama is what we call her on a daily basis... more than we say her actual name! Also Tootie Little Booty (haha and when she has gas or poops we always say "did you tootie in your little booty??") Joel wants me to add that he also calls her "Tootie little <i>fruity</i> booty" haha we are obsessed with her booty apparently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Likes: </b>Faith loves her food first of all... she started drinking 4-5 oz. at like 2-3 weeks old! I think those chunky legs are gonna start coming in realll soon. She loves music, at church she either sits there content or falls asleep during worship, atta girl! She also loves being outside, gloom or shine, she is so content. Car rides are great (Had one projectile vomit experience in the truck... her mama was dumb and fed her 2 minutes before she left. OPPS! You live and you learn ;]) She is attracted to light and looks out the window till she falls asleep in her swing (that she also loves on most occasions). She loves to be burped or just in the upright position. And lastly, she loves bath time! Until she gets lotion put on her lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Dislikes: </b>She usually fights sleep so she hates being tired.... unless she is being held of course. Also, she usually never cries if she spits up, however the one time she did lose her marbles was in the car, so Im gonna assume she was pissed that she threw up on her super cute outfit ;] Lastly she dislikes cold wipes and her flailing arms, she will hit herself in the face and look so annoyed about it haha! Other than that she is still pretty new to have many dislikes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Things I don't want to forget: </b>She sneezes in threes usually, just like her momma ;] She smiles ALL the time, but I notice that she mostly does it every time she's about to fall asleep. Her little scream is the funniest thing I've ever heard. She is a total kicker and squirmer... Im going to have my hands FULL! At her 2 week check up the doctor mentioned that her little boobs are normal and some babies even get a period... my reaction, "IM NOT READY TO TELL HER ABOUT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES, I JUST HAD HER!" hahaha. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(The things I do between feedings do vary, but this is just an idea how things kinda work around here!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I first want to say that getting a routine down in the beginning is not easy by any means. It took me a while to figure out this is what I liked best and I still find myself changing things up a little. Im lucky it hasn't been <i>too</i> hard getting Faith adjusted. The times are still pretty flexible, some days she wants to eat more so it throws the whole day off, those days are exceptions, but I try to get back on track the next day in order to get the predictability of feedings consistent for her =] I know I created more work for myself by exclusively pumping but Im not gonna lie, I seriously hated breastfeeding. It was so painful (I swear she bites!) and her flailing arms were always a battle and getting her in the right position was a pain and it was just miserable for me so instead of being miserable I decided to just pump and deal with the constant washing of bottles and pump parts for a little bit and look forward to when I can sleep through the night and pump every 4-5 hours, rather than every 2-3 hours. It does help to feed her while I pump so its all done at one time, or just have Joel feed her of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>*Hour of Power</b>- This has been the most invigorating thing ever. First of all, I have NEVER been a morning person. Ask anyone, I sincerely enjoy my sleep. However, since having Faith and having to wake up so early every day it got me used to being up and I decided to start the hour of power that I learned from a Tony Robbins video. I highly highly highly recommend having an hour of power when waking up in the morning, it helps me to make the best of the rest of the day! We ALL need a little bit of "me" time! I go for a walk/jog with Faith for about 45-60 minutes, and she sleeps the whole way since she just ate so it works out great. During the walk, I start by thinking of all the things I'm grateful for, this is probably the most important part of my walk that starts my day on such a positive note. Then I focus on what I want in life (as if its already done) so for a smaller goal, I want to get healthy and back in shape; bigger goals for me are going to school, getting a job doing something I enjoy, and being the best mother and wife I can be for my daughter and husband. After that I ask myself what I want to get out of the day and follow it up with prayer. Im telling you, it is a recipe for a fabulous day! I notice myself eating better, being more awake and productive, and feeling more positive.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Faith Marie Hanson</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Born: July 12, 2013</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11:32 am</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 lb. 13 oz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
18.75 inches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seriously cannot even explain how completely WONDERFUL my birthing experience went. However, I am going to try, so here goes! It all started at about 1 in the morning when my husband and I decided that the only reason Faith wasn't coming out was cause I needed to paint my toes... so I painted them and even convinced Joel he needed to let me paint his too, he is such a trooper ;] We finally went to bed at about 3am [sounds crazy to be up so late, but thats a fairly normal night for us!] and at about 5am I started having slightly painful contractions. *Side note: 2 nights before this I went to the L&D Triage for the exact same contractions and got sent home to take a bath. grr.* So when I started having these contractions again I didn't think anything of it just tried to sleep through the pain. Well that didn't go well because at about 6am I was up feeling even more cramping pain that took my breath away! At this point I STILL didn't think it was labor but after I laid in bed for another 30 min after timing my contractions 2-3 minutes apart I knew something was definitely about to happen! I woke Joel up and told him to time my contractions while I took a shower... thats right... I took a shower (was probably already 7-8 cm at this point!). When I got out I was about to blow dry my hair and the second I plugged the dryer in I thought "What in the world am I doing??? We need to get to the hospital!!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to the hospital around 8am and Joel wheeled me up to L&D where there was a girl already standing there talking to the nurses and filling out paperwork. There I was, sitting in my wheelchair, 9 cm dilated trying to breathe through the pain and this girl is probably just having false labor and they are just taking their good ol time chit chatting! Finally they take me back to check my cervix and the nurse asks "Um, were you planning on doing this naturally?" I cannot even explain to you the amount of pure fear I felt when she said that, all I could think was "Please God, NO, I need an epidural!" They rushed me to a delivery room and everyone was saying I was probably too far along and wouldn't be able to get an epidural, which was the one and only thing I had been saying I was doing since day 1! My fabulous doctor came in and gave me the most amazing news EVER, that she was getting the anesthesiologist for my epidural and that she was going to ask me a few questions and tell me about possible complications... my reaction- "Tell her to talk fast."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as the epidural kicked in I was a HAPPY camper! The poor poor woman in the room next to mine was not having as good of a time as I was though. Her doctor came in while I was getting the needle in my back and told the anesthesiologist that she was too far and they were just going to deliver the baby. So she's in the other room screaming bloody murder and I'm just sitting back waiting to push, talking about maybe trying to sleep haha! God had my back. literally ;] All of my nurses and doctors were so amazing, and made me as comfortable as possible. They gave me so much encouragement and even made me laugh in between those painful contractions =]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was told they call my delivery a "drive by birth" because it was so fast and easy =] Only took about 5-10 pushes and bam, we had a daughter! Even though I was so super scared about the whole epidural situation, I still couldn't have had a better experience. Even my recovery has been pretty much a breeze... I may or may not have peed my self when we got home and Joel made me laugh really hard... but thats just a bump in the road ;] I lost 11 pounds when I got home from the hospital and just have a little pooch to get rid of before I am pretty much back to my pre-pregnancy weight... NO complaints here! AND I ate whatever I wanted during my pregnancy, how did I get so lucky!? Not only have I had a great recovery, but my BABY is soooo content! Granted its only been 4 days, but she hardly cries over anything just the normal cry over a diaper change and if she's cold even with the diaper change, its a hit or miss with the cry, she might only cry over the cold wipe. It's so easy to console her though, she loves to be swaddled and to hear our voices, instantly makes her stop crying. Yesterday we had a little scare over her choking a little on the vitamin d supplement to help get rid of the little bit of jaundice she has and she was just sitting there trying to breathe and coughing and after she just looked at me like "well jeez that was scary, glad thats over" lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thank God for blessing us with so much that our cup overflows! Thankful doesn't even begin to describe it! I also thank my mother-in-law for being here with us during everything and helping us with so much. I am so glad she could be in the delivery room and was able to take pictures for me since I obviously couldn't take them! She has done so much for me in the past 5 years, I could never thank her enough. And lastly, for EVERYONE who has called, texted, messaged, and commented to us... THANK YOU! Fills my heart with pure joy knowing how many people love and care about our little girl =]</div>

This entire experience would have been no where near as great if it wasn't for our amazing doctor throughout my whole pregnancy. Dr. Nelson is the sweetest, most caring human being and has been a blessing to us from day one! She was anticipating this birth so much that the whole triage knew who I was before I even got there, I got a lot of "Oh <i>your </i>the one we have been hearing about" =] She even went out and got Faith a gift the day after I delivered! Now we get to have her for Faith's pediatric care and for my postpartum care... umm can anyone say LUCKY!? I simply love her!<br />

<b style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Best moment this week:</b><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> Well Joel got promoted yesterday! It was the most random thing ever though UNFORTUNATELY. He got a text 30 minutes before formation that he was getting promoted and I had just gotten out of the shower so I missed the little ceremony for it =[ But perfect timing for him to pick up rank =] Was hoping Faith was going to make her appearance to congratulate her daddy... but nope... this little girl has got plans of her own.</span></div>

<b style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Happy or Moody most of the time: </b><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Been a little on the moody side this week... <b>especially</b> if I am hungry... I have been getting a little snippy with Joel but come on... talk about a roller coaster of emotions the past 2 weeks with thinking Faith was going to be here and what not!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Looking forward to: </b>At this point... I am looking forward to having real, painful, take your breath away contractions because that means its FINALLY the real deal and Faith is coming =]</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">From week 38 to week 39, I believe this is when she dropped a bit... Some people look like they have a whole new belly when the baby drops... so its hard to tell if this is her dropping or just in a different position but I definitely don't feel her in my ribs any more. So Im ok with that!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bet you are wondering why in the world Joel is sitting in a hospital bed hooked up to fluids and not ME!? Well, funny story actually... ;]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It all started late at night, Joel just got off the phone with a buddy and I just took a bath to get nice and relaxed. Then all of a sudden, out of no where, Joel starts saying how he doesn't feel good and throws up. [Mind you, this is right after I spent the whole day on my hands and knees cleaning the bathrooms lol. Joy.] So that doesn't make him feel any better and he starts saying how he feels like his throat is closing up and his tongue is swelling and he needs to go to the hospital immediately. At this point... I am trying to not get myself worked up but its safe to say I was a little freaked out. So we hop in the truck and head to the hospital. The whole way there he is super anxious telling me I need to go faster as if he is going to go into anaphylactic shock and I am gonna have to magically pull out an EpiPen to save his life! We make it to the hospital where he was saying how he felt light headed like he was going to pass out so the guy at the desk sits him in a wheel chair. Now, another marine was coming down to bring him up but he also brought a wheel chair... so get this... a wife, 39 weeks pregnant, is pushing her grown husband in a wheel chair next to a marine pushing an EMPTY wheel chair to the emergency room in the wee hours of the night. I just about died laughing when finally half way to the emergency room the guy asked if I wanted him to push Joel... Um YES DUDE unless you want to push both of us in wheel chairs after I go into labor hehe. Anyways, we get up to the urgent care/emergency room and he tells the nurse whats going on and we wait for the doctor. Finally, the doctor comes and asks, "Are you an anxious person? Do you normally have panic attacks? Is there anything that you would be nervous about or that would stress you out?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that was the verdict... a good ol fashion panic attack. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to think I thought it was funny to be pushing him around in a wheel chair before... NOW it was hilarious. Both of us were seriously cracking up. Now, I would be mean if I didn't at least say that in his defense, he <i>was</i> dehydrated and hardly ate much all day so that didn't help and his pain meds for his back already make him jittery and anxious anyways. However... I think its a little ironic that someone is about to be a daddy any minute and all of a sudden has a certified panic attack out of no where lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As we were sitting there waiting for what always seems like forever at that hospital, I started getting some contractions which made things EVEN funnier. How terrible it would have been to go into labor during all of that, talk about a hilarious birth story =] I think we will laugh about this for many many years to come, and I think it will only get funnier with time, and each time I tell this story I will probably blow it way out of proportion [for the pure fact that I really don't think he was panicking over having a daughter at all] but it just makes it such a great story to tell when thats the case =]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end, we are all alive and breathing over here! So hopefully the next post is about a hospital trip that sends us home a family of 3... or should I say 4, Oakley will always be our little baby lol.</div>

This is partially because of the lack of anything else going on in our lives right now besides waiting on baby, and also [mostly] due to my life evolving and realizing whats important. It occurred to me that Facebook has taken so much of my life, which sounds completely pathetic, but is completely true. I need a change to enrich my life, and that change is going to be me saying GOODBYE to the things that take too much of my life away from my husband and daughter.<br />
<br />
Facebook is so habitual for me that I start my morning and end my day with it, I check it before and after I eat [sometimes DURING!], I check it before and after doctors appointments and work and in between conversations... basically any moment of free time I have during the day I spend it scrolling through a newsfeed that I don't even particularly like! I realize I could always just not check it as often, or unsubscribe from the people who have nothing but negative things to say, but I've come to a conclusion that I just don't particularly like much of anything I see any more. When something is affecting your mood throughout the day in a negative way, its time to reevaluate. I would much rather start my mornings and end my days with devotionals and prayer, and spend my free time thinking up new and fun things to do with my family. THAT is what this life is all about, so THAT is what my time should be invested in.<br />
<br />
It sounds so pathetic, even feels pathetic, to say that deleting Facebook is actually hard to do. I mean come on, its just a social networking site. But I would be lying if I said it hasn't been nice being able to keep up with whats going on with friends and family, and to share photos and videos of what we are up to. However, half of the people I don't even know or <i>hardly</i> know any more, so Facebook isn't quite what it used to be. It has enabled me to stop being personal with people. I hate that! I miss being able to talk to someone and actually have new things to talk about. All the personal phone calls and texts, letters and cards mailed, and lunch dates to catch up have been completely cut off. I feel like we don't check in and invest our time and love into people any more because we already know every single in and out of whats going on with them through Facebook. I am just tired of all the ads, political views, and photos that "need" "likes" from strangers on a photo of a child with a terminal illness instead of going out and doing something about it... liking a photo literally does nothing for that child.<br />
<br />
With that being said, I do want my friends and family to get to see Faith grow and keep up with our family, I just want to do it in a more personal, fulfilling way! I will still keep my instagram because who are we kidding, I am in love with photography and will always be taking pictures of our little peanut! So that will be a way to keep family updated on when there are new blog posts because I find that writing in this blog is a great outlet for me and I love being able to store our memories somewhere. Its more fulfilling when I can write about the entire experience and really dig deep rather than writing a quick post that I will forget about anyways. I know blogging isn't for everyone, so to my friends and family that don't blog or don't have an instagram, I want to make sure you have my phone number, mailing address, or email [Whatever you need!] so theres no excuse to not stay in touch. So shoot me a message while I still have my page! Planning on keeping Facebook till Faith gets here, just so everyone knows she made it into this world healthy as can be! Also so I have time to save ALLLLL of the photos I have accumulated over time =]<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here's to a more fulfilling and joyous life!</span></div>

On another super happy and exciting note, Faith Marie officially has a finished nursery! I honestly cannot thank my Grammy enough for all the hard work she put into everything. I constantly am reminded how blessed I am day in and day out because of things like this! I'd say this room turned out to be everything I wanted it to be... minus the fact that I wish I could paint the walls =[</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Happy Father's Day to my Baby Daddy! </span></div>
Joel, I <strike>sometimes</strike> most of the time suck at showing you how much I appreciate all of the things you do for me, especially during this pregnancy, but I want you to know that every little thing you do does not go unnoticed. You are so selfless that I don't even think you realize you do so much for me, like it is just second nature to you, <i>effortless</i>. Did you know that from the very start of my day, my forehead <b>never</b> goes unkissed when you leave for work (even if I am half asleep and can't move a muscle to acknowledge it). Or that you still tell me how beautiful I am every single day, seriously... every single day... even if I hadn't showered and was sitting on the couch watching cooking shows all day. Do you know that without hesitation when I ask you to do something, no matter what it is, you do it. I have grown so accustomed to this that I rarely show you how much I appreciate you getting up to get me <strike>cookies</strike>, water, or a blanket. Even if I don't ask, you offer or just bring it (considering you have my nightly routine down to a science hehe). When you are in the middle of watching your show and I ask for you to take out the trash, help me bring the laundry upstairs, get something heavy down for me, do the dishes, etc. you get right up to help... which is baffling to me because I KNOW that I have done no such thing when I am watching my Grey's Anatomy and you need something. I usually start with some complaint or make you wait till its over... which is SO wrong and yet you are patient with me and will wait for 5 hours if you had to. I can't even count all the nights you have given me foot rubs and back massages, and MOST of the time I don't ask for it at all, you just get the lotion and start massaging away =] Also, my favorite thing that I definitely don't show you I appreciate enough, when you love me fully even if I am being the meanest person in the world... My moods are like a ticking time bomb anymore and when I go off about something or am not loving towards you you never lash back at me or show me less love, if anything you pour out your love on me tenfold! If that is not representing God's love, I don't know what is.<br />
I am so proud of the man you have become since we first met when I was just 15 years old. Watching God work on your heart and seeing you transform into the spiritual leader in our home is probably one of the greatest feelings I have ever had. We have come such a long way from being those young naive high school sweethearts. Between military life away from family, a deployment, back surgery, now pregnancy, and all the other little life changers, we had to figure out the hard way what it means to unconditionally love one another. Just know that even on the days that I don't thank you enough, or don't show you how appreciated you are, I am <b>ALWAYS</b> thanking God for blessing me with you, and <b>ALWAYS</b> asking Him to teach me to love like you do. You show me every day what it is to be a great spouse and soon-to-be father. Faith is going to be one lucky little girl to have you as her daddy. She will get the chance to grow up with a great role model, showing her the kind of man she will want to marry someday. Granted we are not perfect people by any means, but the way you have learned and trained yourself to glorify God in everything you do is inspiring and humbling. I could not ask for a better man in my life. I love you <3<br />
<br />
