I'm still alive. Barely. Here's a bullet point outline of things going on around here:<div><br /></div><div>Saxyn:</div><div><div><ul><li>Cute as a button.</li><li>Going on 3 weeks old Tuesday! Wow!</li><li>On her 2 week check up she had gained over a pound, weighing in at 8lbs. 5 oz. Good golly miss molly, she's putting on some weight.</li><li>She's having lots of troubles digesting her food. The doc switched up her formula {insert all you breastfeeding fanatics dropped jaws here} and it's helped a little, but we're still working on it. It's actually a whole new world for us cause Kingston didn't have any troubles, nor did he spit up...once. Saxyn, however, spits up constantly...projectile vomits...fusses...squirms...cries...hiccups...you name it. Feedings can be an all out disaster sometimes. Makes me sad.</li><li>Was forgotten in the car yesterday. We all piled out to get some ice cream and suddenly heard Anne yell in front of everyone, "Wait! Where's the baby?!?!" So George did the walk of shame back to the car to get her and as he walked back up to the ice cream shop one of the bystanders intruded with, "You forget somethin'?" Yup. Sorry.</li></ul><div>Kingston:</div><ul><li>Kingston is becoming a little punk slowly but surely {we still love him to death though}.</li><li>Needs a slight haircut.</li><li>Loves on his baby sister so much it makes us smile.</li><li>Threw the word "mommy" out the window and has succumbed to called me "D!" Hm. Figuring out how to fix that one.</li><li>FINALLY advanced in swim lessons. Sheesh. He was held back in his last class 3 times, but just started his new class last Wednesday with George. It's been nice for them to get to do something together.</li><li>Loves to pray. All the time. He asks to pray probably about 3 or 4 times while we're eating. He has the whole "hold our hands, heads bowed" down pat.</li><li>Likes for me to kiss his "boo-boo's" and I'm happy to.</li></ul><div>George:</div><ul><li>Love of my life.</li><li>His time home has come to an end {tear...sniff...}. He officially goes back to work tomorrow morning and then I'm on my own. I'm nervous, but mostly sad. His time home was a God-send, not just to have his help with the kids, but for our marriage. We've gotten so close and am so thankful for our 3 weeks together.

Time is already flying by. This morning we had her newborn shots done and I'm hoping they turned out really good. The whole family woke up super late this morning so it was a rush to get ready, pick out outfits, etc. So I wasn't totally with it this morning and it's hard to gauge what we even did.<div><br /></div><div>Kingston's very touch and go these days. He is SUPER sweet with his baby sister. He loves to hold her...wants to hold her hands and pray with her...always wants to help with feeding...However, sometimes I feel he's giving me the cold shoulder. He has become really cranky and whiney. He acts out a lot and has gotten a strong attachment to George. My poor husband can't even go to the restroom without a tantrum breaking out.</div><div><br /></div><div>Speaking of George. He's amazing. I'm so grateful that he took off so much work to be with me and our family. He has picked up so much slack at home. He takes care of me...he takes care of Kingston and of course helps out with Saxyn so much too! Amidst all that, still makes a little time for work as much as he can and for things to be done around the home. Such a trooper.</div><div><br /></div><div>Saxyn is your typical newborn :) She has her days and nights mixed, but hopefully that will be changing soon! Her eating is out of this world! She is the complete opposite of Kingston and eats A TON! She'll definitely be my chunky baby and can't wait to see it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm hanging in there. Not sure where I would be if I didn't have the help of George right now and our families. I'm resting and sleeping as much as I can. Even though I feel like the labor and delivery was a lot faster and easier than it was with Kingston, I feel like the recuperating is rougher. I haven't felt really all that well the past week. Mainly, weak. My whole body just aches and aches with other post-partum issues to deal with {to remain nameless for the sake of disclosing too much}. :) I'm either too drugged up to know what's going on or in utter pain that I want to crawl under a rock and die. I get a little baby blues here and there too. I had a minor incident involving a dark onesie, which got mixed in with my sweet baby girl's whites in the wash. Everything turned purplish-pink. Devastation set in like none other and I bawled for a good 5 minutes.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all though we're doing well. Kingston and Saxyn are just two sweet children needing cuddles from their mommy and their mommy is just a wife needing cuddles from her husband. </div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-91590827980684373462010-04-04T12:12:00.000-07:002010-04-04T12:20:21.513-07:00Look-A-Like.<div>I found this baby photo of myself at my mom's house the other day and she scanned it for me...I'm pretty sure it looks like Kingston with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Most people thought this little one would come on her own, but I know my children, they need a little help. Monday the 29th was the longest day ever too. All I could think about was having my baby. I was really nervous. REALLY nervous. I preoccupied my time as much as I could. <div><br /></div><div>The late evening soon rolled around and we arrived at the hospital about midnight. Walked right in...immediately got settled...did the necessary paperwork and began my IV. Ohhh, my IV. Bless my {first} nurse's heart. She was so cute and sweet, but perhaps a tad new to the labor and delivery? Just perhaps. She poked me about 3 times and kept "losing" my vein and had to call in an IV specialist to finish the job. Yikes. That really hurt. But didn't have time to really complain. It was around 1/1:30am and the pitocin and fluids have started. </div><div><br /></div><div>Everything started off slow, but by 4:00am I was done-zo. So done I couldn't even tell you. Labor hurt like hell. Oh but Mr. Anesthesiologist is in a c-section and will be another 45 minutes. You're kidding. Another yikes. Welllllll okay, here we go. Just breathe, right? Riiiiight. I wanted to die. I'm still only maybe 3 cm. and hating life. And now, come to find out, my newbie nurse sliced her finger open and had to go to the ER for stitches. Of course. </div><div><br /></div><div>And in comes my {second} nurse. Whoa, look out! She blew in like a tornado and rearranged the whole room and got me setup with about 15 pillows {she actually stole pillows from other peoples rooms} in a matter of minutes and was absolutely amazing. Oh good! Great news! Anesthesiologist is here! He was in and out in about 10 minutes and did a wonderful job...kinda. I got some relief but soon found out my epidural mainly numbed up my right side and left my left side hangin'. Ouch. Literally. I tried to get some sleep but that didn't work. I was drugged up and felt nauseous. </div><div><br /></div><div>Upon 7am I was re-checked: 4cm. Great. Aren't we moving along a tad bit slow. Sheesh. BUT...I had my final nurse change and my lovely Nicole {whom I requested at the beginning of this whole thing...she was with me during Kingston's birth and goes to my church too so I was dying to have her again with me on this delivery} was finally here. She followed up with my Dr. who was on his way in to check in on me. So sweet of him. By 7:30am though I was not feeling the greatest. My pain was increasing on my left side and I threw up a couple times. Nicole decided to check me again and realized my sweet baby girl was about an inch away of coming out. Super yikes! She left the room to inform my Dr. that I was indeed ready to deliver asap. However, even though he was on his way he was still about a half hour out. So, of course, knowing I needed him there I laid on my side with my legs shut to keep this baby in. :) We were all trying to pass time.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was a little past 8am and I couldn't hold it any longer. Nicole said, "Oh, maybe we'll just do a 'practice' push." Ha. She was putting gloves on right as I rolled over onto my back and not even a second later lil' miss saxyn started sliding on out. My mom is hovered over in the corner and points, saying, "Uh, the head is coming right out." I wasn't even pushing yet. My nurse quickly shoved her other glove on, yelled out the door for a 2nd nurse and ran over just in time to catch my baby. It took a matter of about 10 seconds for saxyn to come into the world and right as George was cutting the cord my Dr. walked in just in time to catch my placenta. Lovely. I think he was pretty bummed he missed the whole thing. As was I. And every single one of us are still shocked that everything went so incredibly fast. My daughter is finally here though. She is healthy...happy...sleepy...and hungry! She already eats way more than Kingston. Maybe I'll have a chubby baby this time around! We have her newborn photo shoot next week and I'll try to get photos of my own up as soon as I can! Life with two kiddos under the age of two is busy! </div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-80886285038263959642010-03-17T13:17:00.000-07:002010-03-17T13:29:02.577-07:00Showering Me With Love.<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUrmJc-V_bvnxllQxZvdJOY9YKT7fFv2YyGUkXl19XIOUBN20sxd2coi9hSNid0R6luLYas2D2RnxaBHY2HAcJMNESXlPfhl5IjHiQqS6Q7wI9rSN1M6mZfOVuag035w2GklnORZtsRlh/s1600-h/babyshower5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449700837117410066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUrmJc-V_bvnxllQxZvdJOY9YKT7fFv2YyGUkXl19XIOUBN20sxd2coi9hSNid0R6luLYas2D2RnxaBHY2HAcJMNESXlPfhl5IjHiQqS6Q7wI9rSN1M6mZfOVuag035w2GklnORZtsRlh/s400/babyshower5.jpg" /></a> Beautiful flowers.</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm0qr8kO0zeuJG2kDPvYKOoyt9NsroexO-uhdFzQBMt0z1m6KqAjy5dJKuld4Pp49qCbajRiePjMPTjEf4_pRBYW7SXgGEEuHeWhpwPFmAYwjHeM9Bb9wrPLig4I5O_fi_7pM-Acn16gq5/s1600-h/babyshower4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449700712135923442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm0qr8kO0zeuJG2kDPvYKOoyt9NsroexO-uhdFzQBMt0z1m6KqAjy5dJKuld4Pp49qCbajRiePjMPTjEf4_pRBYW7SXgGEEuHeWhpwPFmAYwjHeM9Bb9wrPLig4I5O_fi_7pM-Acn16gq5/s400/babyshower4.jpg" /></a> Personalized Picnic Lunch.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLiPwo1tm_KyQP7vkxpLjgmYM6Fpt-lzB1IwMVTmRJzZziq7mmgdq4esXGoLFsfdb6Ef6tIRPhiMEkWMWDKttFh-OEa-ajn8rFz9y_s82ZB3LCA7SRg7By_Z-qmE2rtcqP8titn83pzsj/s1600-h/babyshower3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449700704523379010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLiPwo1tm_KyQP7vkxpLjgmYM6Fpt-lzB1IwMVTmRJzZziq7mmgdq4esXGoLFsfdb6Ef6tIRPhiMEkWMWDKttFh-OEa-ajn8rFz9y_s82ZB3LCA7SRg7By_Z-qmE2rtcqP8titn83pzsj/s400/babyshower3.jpg" /></a> Adorable Table.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7L3Acf0-MSQn4SCjYe4wdiWZBEYybxugl9p-zYB01lNl56dQph-lrd6Ni4Ac7cg76c_TuYZSKmu-g8syiMgm_4A2iE8IY0SB8HzsJ1DhL0RwDg_u5Jf_Bm0y1NtUsnnD5faAt6U9Qk6Tm/s1600-h/babyshower2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449700686725533058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7L3Acf0-MSQn4SCjYe4wdiWZBEYybxugl9p-zYB01lNl56dQph-lrd6Ni4Ac7cg76c_TuYZSKmu-g8syiMgm_4A2iE8IY0SB8HzsJ1DhL0RwDg_u5Jf_Bm0y1NtUsnnD5faAt6U9Qk6Tm/s400/babyshower2.jpg" /></a> Sisters Having Baby Girls! {Engy is due middle of May!}<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukyYkfpYOUgnNCbwDdOAjHeF1s4MxPZXKdHuCHVkPc_c9efaIbhV16jpGUFIxjdwHKDrMIspUYZ2R31NPyAVoE582RXAna9Ad0lcYzUZQm_BGWKjj0NnSvUn9sfDUE2-8AECI56Qy-jGP/s1600-h/babyshower1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449700676437002002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukyYkfpYOUgnNCbwDdOAjHeF1s4MxPZXKdHuCHVkPc_c9efaIbhV16jpGUFIxjdwHKDrMIspUYZ2R31NPyAVoE582RXAna9Ad0lcYzUZQm_BGWKjj0NnSvUn9sfDUE2-8AECI56Qy-jGP/s400/babyshower1.jpg" /></a> BFF and Her Sweet Daughter Nora.

Team Mekhail is in that dreadful holding period...baby watching. I'm 38 weeks and as of this morning...still counting down. Not much progress has been made. My latest check up was this morning and I'm 1 cm. dilated, 50% effaced and about a -1 on the "Where's the baby's head?" scale. All the same stats as I was last Tuesday. Boo. These stats, along with good blood pressure, good fluids and baby movement, don't exactly help plead my case on getting this baby out so I had to think fast. The only things I could come up with are: horrid back pain, leg cramping, excruciating groin pain and abdominal pain. My back feels like it's breaking in half and every time George even tries to massage it, it feels bruised. My reflux is getting annoying and I feel like I'm just carrying around a 40 pound sack of potatoes. Doc didn't buy it. He proceeded to tell me he LEGALLY couldn't even do anything until 39 weeks and he himself wouldn't do anything until I'm 40, which brings us to March 30th...my due date. Lovely. And please don't say, "Oh that's only 2 weeks away!" I won't even spend the energy to respond to that one. I will roll my eyes and assume you've never been pregnant. So March 30th. Here's the thing about March 30th...what if...just what if...I have my child on April 1st?!?! An April Fool's baby? I don't think so. So I politely, but firmly said I didn't want to deliver on the 1st, to which he replied he will be skipping town the morning of the 1st to go to Great Wolf Lodge anyways AND if you're just now joining us? My doctor being out of town while I deliver? Not an option. Plain and simple. And because my doctor is amazing, he said he wouldn't let me go late and I'm signed up to go in late March 29th to be induced if baby girl doesn't come on her own. THANK THE LORD. And by late? I mean, literally...11:30pm. Which is fine by me cause I also really want my child born on a even number so it gives me a full 24 hrs to get my sweet girl out on the 30th. You see where my priorities really are? :) Sounds like a good plan, right? I wonder how it's all really gonna go...my luck, my water will break in an hour and I'll have a St. Patrick's Day baby. Ooft. All in God's timing I suppose. Sigh.george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-38396293663425227882010-03-15T19:11:00.000-07:002010-03-17T13:53:11.069-07:00Preg{Show}.<div style="text-align: center;"></div>Disclaimer: You'll need to turn off my blog music to hear the slideshow music, otherwise you'll get Casting Crowns meets Joshua Radin...it's not pretty.<div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwtbisFjwiZmbb4iIkxTjIGjoeUWoY4nBqWpWN2SC4XndFQNh6TEfW3W4X_WV9QfwejT05Z3fzcVqoOYzjPlg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-91780638088716872382010-03-08T14:52:00.001-08:002010-03-15T19:11:44.500-07:00{Sneak Peak}.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxvE7dTT35f_XpWCUl-oCH_4LAsDe2eQFP6V98XbJcBEzZF3AwKM-XD8yhaNmrJjyo1ComwzmBgiPAi3BG9GOJ0kHXVEj9gajl8Jexjh_Uw5RqdBZJIS0NZQgveig_SLi8VGMYW5QyazBf/s1600-h/prego.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Rose & I were best friends in high school and after splitting ways after graduation we still managed to keep in touch very often and find ways to even see each other. She lived in Florida with her husband Justin and when she would fly back home to Oregon, I would make it a point to drive down to see her when I could. We swapped emails OFTEN and she would even send me things in the mail just out of the goodness of her sweet heart. <div><br /></div><div>This was our last photo taken together in 2008, just 3 months after I had Kingston. We were supposed to see each other this summer. She was going to meet my baby girl. I was going to meet her hubby. We were going to catch up. We were going to laugh as usual and at the end we were going to say, "See you soon!" </div><div><br /></div><div>It's a different feeling now: missing a friend who lives across the country and now missing a friend who lives with our God. I'm heart broken and a little jealous all at the same time...I think more heart broken. Why not me? Why her? I don't understand. I JUST talked to her. I'm sad. I'm sad for me...for Justin...for her parents...for her sister. A part of me is even sad for Rose thinking she's missing out on what could have been. Chances are though she's having the time of her life and I'm the one in fact, missing out. </div><div><br /></div><div>Life is fragile. You just never know what's going to happen.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-85681165889685258252010-02-09T19:26:00.000-08:002010-02-09T20:30:57.607-08:00I Think I Need A {Vent}ilator.33 weeks and counting and today couldn't have been a worse day to start the week off. And right as I just wrote that, someone just rang the doorbell to my home that has a sweet little sign above it that says, "Please, do not ring doorbell, Thank You!". And I thought it was just FedEx that couldn't read.<div><br /></div><div>And speaking of people who can't read: Walgreen's is NOT the pharmacy you can trust. They need a new slogan. I called in a prescription refill this morning to be picked up at 3pm. They call me at 2pm with their lame automated voice recorder telling me it's delayed. CRAP! I totally forgot to tell them we switched insurance. I proceed to call them back and tell them and ask if I can give them my info over the phone or if they need me to come in with my card. After pushing 1 for the pharmacy department and 0 to speak with a pharmacist, clueless Sr. Certified Pharmacy Tech. #1 gets on the line. I tell him the issue and ask my question. He tells me I need to hold on while he accesses my file first. THEN says, "Oh, it looks like the issue is your insurance denied your request for a refill." Why yes Mr. Pharmacy man that is what I just told you so thank you for repeating the obvious. THEN says, "We will need to see your new insurance." Why yes Mr. Pharmacy man I also stated that as well. THEN he says, "So all you need to do is just bring your card with you and then we can get the new information in." Yeah, ok, thanks.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now I'm at Walgreens and clueless Sr. Certified Pharmacy Tech. #2 proceeds to "help" me. I tell her the issue and she asks to see my card. She hands it right back and says my card is only for medical and not prescriptions and to let her know when I have it figured out and walks away! Wtf. Figured out? So I call George. He tells me all the info is on the back of the card, which it is. I understand why I wouldn't know, but homegirl is supposed to be a Sr. Certified Pharmacy Tech. Can't she read insurance cards correctly? So now I wait for her to come back. She comes back. I tell her where the info is and she's like, oh. Yeah...oh. THEN {as she's holding and looking at the card} says, "So, are you the primary cardholder?" Um, no. That would be my husband. THEN she says, "Oh, what's his name?" Really Mrs. Pharmacy woman? It says RIGHT on the card, primary cardholder: George Mekhail and dependants: Danielle Mekhail. </div><div><br /></div><div>This vaguely reminds me of when George is looking for something in the fridge and says it's not there. Oh it's there. You're just not looking hard enough. The 'ole open the fridge door, do a quick scan of the elements without attempting to look over or behind things is getting a little old. </div><div><br /></div><div>Think people. Look a little. Perhaps, read a little.</div><div><br /></div><div>Dear Walgreens,</div><div>Please higher your standards when hiring.</div><div>Cordially Yours,</div><div>One angry pregnant lady who almost skipped a 2nd dose of Prenatal Vitamins cause you couldn't get your shit together. </div><div><br /></div><div>{can I swear on this blog? I think so. I mean, it's my blog and Kingston can't read yet so I'll unleash some unmotherly vocabulary on here just this once.}</div><div><br /></div><div>Hormones, hormones, hormones! I'm constantly annoyed and so DONE. I literally bawled to my dr. for about a half hour at the end of today going on and on with my pregnancy woes. Yes. Woe is me. I won't divulge my fellow blog readers of all my mental...emotional...and physical issues, but I tried so desperately to convince the doc the baby was ok to come out at 33 weeks. I had as much luck as Martin Short. I have til' 37 weeks and I get a re-evaluation of my "current state" and may make a case for me on delivering early. Pray I make it through. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-91067797065593170302010-01-23T19:44:00.001-08:002010-01-23T19:52:45.424-08:00Rock-A-Bye Baby.Here's a peek into our baby girl's nursery!

Hopefully only 10 more weeks to go until we get to meet our baby girl. I'm really wanting a March baby and of course MY due date is March 30th. It just had to be one day shy of the end of the month. It just had to be.<div><br /></div><div>Life is already getting difficult. I can't imagine having two kiddos under the age of 2. My braxton hicks are out of control. My sciatic pain is often dibilitating. I'm an insomniac. And homegirl moves entirely way too much that someone needs to tell her the floor routine is two years too early. It's the winter olympics this year, not the summer olympics. You see...the thing is...Kingston NEVER moved. I was in and out of the hospital doing stress tests because of lack of movement so to have so much kicking, flailing, twisting, turning and spasming was enough for me to think she was having some sort of conniption.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had one of my many check-ups last Friday and boy was it a doozy. I went in gun's blazing. The morning consisted of my glucose test. Boo. Then I had my regular OB appointment in the afternoon where I oh-so-kindly let my doc know I had reason to believe my baby girl had 5 legs, 2 toes, 1 eye and a cleft lip perhaps. I needed to see her asap. Good thing my doc loves me. He overlooks my craziness and obliges to my request of an ultrasound. Phew! Don't worry, she has two eyes and her lips look great! Then he said I could have another extensive ultrasound on the 29th to do measurements and such. I feel much better about the situation and received even better news when my glucose results came back that afternoon! PASS! I don't think I ever craved dessert as much as I did in that moment in time. It's possible I may have overdid my binge on Jelly Belly's too, but that's ok. It was a celebration.</div><div><br /></div><div>We're ready. Can't wait.</div><div><br /></div><div>*P.S. I will post nursery photos up soon when we have finished the big stuff. I haven't even gotten the crib situated yet. </div><div>*P.P.S. I realize I'm really behind in even posting photos of our new home {I'm hearin' you Jen!} those will come eventually. We are all moved in, but there are SO MANY projects and visions I have for our home that have been put on hold until after the baby and I'm a stickler for taking photos of unfinished work. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-73473472908727076392010-01-12T13:06:00.000-08:002010-01-12T14:23:25.492-08:00For Women Only.Ever read it? I strongly believe every woman {especially <i>married</i> women} in this world needs to read <b>For Women Only</b> by <i>Shaunti Feldhahn</i>. If you let it, it will change your life. In a nutshell it's "what you need to know about the inner lives of men" and it doesn't come across very softly. A lot of the surveys, studies and information provided is shocking and harsh, specifically when it comes to the common stereotype that "men are visual". {If any of you have been on Facebook lately, you may see where this is going...}. Recently, I have personally been shocked on how many women fall short in working to support and protect our men against visual temptations, me being one of them. I fall short all time and not afraid to say that I'm proud of myself when I actually do stand up for my beliefs and stand to protect my husband and disappointed when I get torn down by others because I do so.<div><br /></div><div>FACT: Man was created by God. And, FACT: Our men {young, old, single, married, Christian and Non-Christian} are wired to carry around a mental rolodex of images...stored...sensual...available at anytime...lurking around waiting to make their appearance. 87% of our men actually. For some it's just annoying and they have to work hard to block them out and for others it can cause them to stumble. Especially as our young men grow up and grow into their 20's, 30's and 40's anything can trigger it. As blatant as a Victoria's Secret television commercial or as simple as an attractive colleague dressed in a business suit. It doesn't matter. Our culture is a minefield. It wouldn't be fair to say it's not a big deal or if it trigger's sensual thoughts in our men then there must be a deeper issue. I strongly believe those stances are really naive. It's true, not ALL men have a deep rooted struggle, but why even go as far as tempting them even if you think they won't fall into temptation and sin?</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm a woman who isn't at all visual. I don't get it half of the time and I don't realize some of the things I say or do. A couple things I do know {as a wife especially} after reading this book is I have a duty to pray hard for my husband cause ultimately only the Lord can lead and guide our men...to continue to educate myself and be proactive so I don't become naive and transparent to what is ACTUALLY going on...to support and protect my husband...I need to be on his side, not against it. Why would I want to do something that would tempt him or others? And most importantly "Champion modesty" in myself. Just because one man isn't struggling, doesn't mean another isn't. Married women are called to respect our husbands, but I find it hard to believe our God wouldn't want all women to champion with all of our men to help them continue in honoring their God. I pray with all my heart that everyday when George walks into our home he can say he honored me with all his heart, mind and soul and soon when he stands before his God he can say he honored his wife. I hope this for every man.</div><div><br /></div><div>You can't stop everything and can't control what others do, but you can listen to your heart and work hard to do your part. It's a good book. Promise. </div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-67050725015363399552010-01-11T14:28:00.000-08:002010-01-11T15:17:16.582-08:00Aloha!Um, anyone else amazed it's 2010? I hope everyone survived the holidays! We barely did...and we were definitely in bed before midnight on New Year's Eve. Besides being pregnant tired, I had to wake up early to catch a morning flight to Honolulu with Anne. Oh yeah...I shipped off to Hawaii...Kingston shipped off to the Grandma's and George was left with the house to himself for a week. I just arrived back last Friday evening and let me tell you: It's been a whirlwind trying to get back into the swing of things. It's so hard to go from doing nothing all day or thinking about nothing to bedtimes, bathtimes, timeouts and WHINING. George also had to leave last night to spend a week down in Tacoma teaching a class for work so I went from a week of "singleness" to a single mom. Oofta. I may need another vacation come Friday. Here's some photos from the trip!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MtMQ5GyATtVIZLWt0cEgN5VuqXQh2aQEX4HPSls6izzvDPEMAZCB4QnKzU83mw1flLCZ1Xh8RGyXiuAUsmb7XW8eOoDM8BtsW6ieanfthqkYAyZVL1f59JLaZgW9cPLneH5WBAV36vi1/s1600-h/hawaii9.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Yeah Right. Kingston FINALLY fits into crewcuts! It's amazing...it's beautiful...it's everything I imagined. I've had my eye on these lil' toddler clothes since they were designed. I have secretly gone to every doctor appointment anxiously awaiting for the words, "He's currently 33-36" and weighs 27 1/2-30 1/2lbs." The perfect size 2. My heart sank at his 18 month appt the other day when he weighed in at only 21lbs. The little poopsie is literally a little poopsie. BUT he was about 35" tall and well? If you fit in one category, you fit! I tried to buy the entire store. I gleefully arrived at the cash counter with all the looks that I love and heard a voice in the back of my head {George, not mine silly!} telling me the whole store was unneccessary {at this time of course}. So I walked away with one outfit. One glorious outfit.</div>george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130764944967521474.post-12494634081630242892009-12-16T13:18:00.000-08:002009-12-16T13:29:50.389-08:00This Gets Me Through My Day...Sometimes...<div align="center">Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth,</div><div align="center">Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,</div><div align="center">Hang out the washing and butter the bread,</div><div align="center">Sew on a button and make up a bed.</div><div align="center">Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?</div><div align="center">She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue</div><div align="center">(Lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).</div><div align="center">Dishes are waiting and bills are past due</div><div align="center">(Pat-a-cake, darling and peek, peekaboo).</div><div align="center">The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew</div><div align="center">And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo</div><div align="center">But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.</div><div align="center">Look!

Oh, don't I know it. I was attempting to fall asleep in my not-so-comfortable bed {well, comfortable when I'm not pregnant, but somehow everytime I have a baby Mekhail brewing inside of me I'm CONVINCED we need to sell it on Craig's List and invest in a Tempur-pedic} when I realized, "Holy moly guacamole! I'm 25 weeks pregnant!" {Guacamole sorta sounds good right now...} and then realized the easiest solution for now was swap my pillow with George's pillow while he was in the bathroom. It's helped a little. A <span style="font-size:85%;">little</span>. George didn't even really notice until I said something 2 days later THEN he actually started bargaining for his pillow back. Really George? You're trying to bargain with your pregnant wife? He should be grateful I give him a few feet of the side of the bed since I hear some wives actually kick their husbands out totally. Time is flying by though and I know it will continue to fly by. I have THE busiest next 3 months. I'm not ready. I'm just not ready.george, danielle, kingston & saxyn.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03665248903356144343noreply@blogger.com2
