The Nipple Cream Saga

It was only a matter of time until Dixie was going to get her paws on something that she wasn't supposed to when it came to baby Mason. I would have never guessed that the something would be a whole tube of nipple cream. 

I knew she was up to no good when she was no where to be found.... it was too quiet.  I searched for her all over the house...  and there she was, deep under our king sized bed going to town on the entire bottle.  I immediately called our vet and after a few laughs from the Dr. she assured me that it was all natural and harmless (the baby even eats it off of your skin), though it would have to pass on its own out of puppy's system. Not sure if you are familiar with the consistency of this cream but it is very thick and yellow and waxy.  A few hours later that was exactly what was oozing out of Dixie's behind... And it was all over the house.  I panicked! Mike was too far away to rush home, luckily mom rushed over and we confined Dixie to the bathroom to finish her business until Mike could get home to bathe her. She was covered in the greasy mess, running all down her hind legs and tail. Thankfully, later that night she was back to normal. I never thought I'd have two babies in a diaper at one time!

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.  For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been.  January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...  

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery.  The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
