Weak Flesh

By
Everyone is in bed before 8 PM. Including Dad. Apparently my potatoes and chicken dinner had mystic powers. Lexi fell asleep on dad soon after. Dallin worked on his exploration skills while I picked up their room and then after his final drink, he was pooped. It's always rewarding to lay your children down peacefully. I had a touch & go nap earlier, but it was good enough. For some reason my leg muscles were a little achey last night and this morning the tops of my legs are really tender. Trust me, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary yesterday, but I became exhausted today too and just couldn't handle a toddler not napping and a bipolar baby sleeper. Mr Smith was at church later so I think I just got upset with Lexi and she ended up playing alone and handling it. I had to ask for forgiveness once I woke. I'm just not sure what's taking over my body yet. Man the flesh is weak.

My nose is on the mend. I had my follow-up and as I was slightly worried since I'm not the best patient, all looks well although still swollen. They sucked a ton of stuff out. Like it was crazy nasty yet exhilarating and I want my own sucker machine, but I'm pretty sure it sucked up from my throat even and I had a sore throat later that day so perhaps something is taking over. I felt like a new breather but was slowly stuffed back up by end of day. They said the swelling will slowly decrease and in about 2 weeks I will feel the reward of all this. Let's hope so.

And on another note, I found shoes that fit Dallin. I seriously felt so accomplished.

There is a Plan for That

By
  Perhaps I'm ready to begin again, again. I struggle to add more words to the universe & I feel the same with photos. I let two of my passions die, both rather abruptly. My posts used to write themselves, I felt so guided in what God needed me to say. But this past year, my words have been removed. I moved from this blog over to Instagram as a better place to connect, but then everything became a distraction, and even the good distractions soon became too overwhelming. I can't possibly do every craft or recipe I've saved at this point. Unfortunately, I became painfully aware of my addictive attachment to my algorithm & lost much of my peace & productivity because of it. Satan knew, but I was too slow to recognize complacency & emptiness disguised as creative options & worldly debates. "The days are gone that you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian." I am definitely not raising quiet Christians, but perhaps we are still trying to be too co...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

By
Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi,  We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

By
Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
