I thought that the start of a 'new' blog, should start with a birth story. It has been over three months since Paxton entered the world, and I feel like with every day the minute details are drifting away. So here I am, sitting down, to write out his birth story. </div>

Perhaps I should backtrack a little. Pax was quite the surprise. We found out I was pregnant during one of the most stressful weeks of our marriage, and hopefully life. Yes, we did think the month before, okay I guess we will start trying to have a second... but that was simply because the first took two years and a few rounds of crazy medications. Back to Pax. We found out we were having a baby. and what proceeded were nine miserable months. Aches, pains, nausea, exhaustion. We moved. Ryan started a new job. I had horrible work stuff going on. Yuck. It was not the beautiful easy pregnancy I had the first time. </div>

The week that labor started, yes, week, I was certain I was going to have him about 13 different times. Eden was a fast birth, so I kept expecting it to go fast. Well it did... once it really started. It just didn't get started as soon as I thought. </div>

By Thursday so much was going on with my body I knew birth was inevitable. I went to the midwife, she did some midwife things, my doula gave a concoction of voodoo magic, and we went for a walk. The last walk at the park as a family of three. </div>

I knew this was our last dinner as a family of three so I remember we just lingered around the table a little longer. Cuddled sweet Eden a little longer. And soaked up those last hours together. </div>

Around 9pm my contractions stopped though. I couldn't believe it. Just over. I even texted my boss and said, well, maybe I am coming in. I'll keep you posted. </div>

At 2am I woke up and knew it was baby time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coincidentally I picked up my phone, and low and behold, my sister in law had JUST GIVEN BIRTH at 1:45am. I quickly texted my mom and said, well I'm about to have a baby too. </div>

By 3 am I decided to get up and call our nanny to come keep Eden. I texted our doula and just tried to relax with the glowing Christmas tree and calming music. Bon Iver, Head & The Heart, & The Brilliance are my labor tunes of choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We knew we had a THIRTY minute drive to the hospital (let's not talk about how terrible health insurance in America is), so we (nanny, doula, ryan & myself) decided around 4 that I should get to the hospital. I was really really reallllly worried about birthing at home since Eden came so quickly. </div>

Spoiler Alert: we made it to the hospital. Around 4:45 in fact. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If the world was perfect and insurance actually paid for health care, I would have loved to birth at the birthing center only a few miles from my home. But alas, its not and I was 30 miles from my home in a hospital. The beautiful part though, my doula & husband made that labor room as peaceful as any home could be. There was calm music. Candles. Aromatherapy. </div>

As soon as we got to the room, I sat on this ball. I was 6cms and felt that rotating my hips back and forth would get me to 10cm. I didn't really move. Ryan- my rock- pushed all the right places, rubbed my shoulders, held my hand, did everything perfect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For whatever reason, I had in my mind, if I can just get him out by lunch I'll get to have chick-fil-a and can drink sweet tea, and i'll get to cuddle my baby and all will be right in the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes that is right. Chick-fil-a lunch was what was on my mind as I breathed through contractions. Whatever works right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My contractions were certainly worsening as I rocked on the ball and things started to change. I was getting nauseated and thinking, if it doesn't end soon I am not going to make it. I am tired. I am weak. I need this to be over. {transition anyone?!}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Around 7:40 my doctor was going off call so she stopped by and asked if I wanted her to check me. Yeah. I need to know, because if I haven't progressed I'm calling it quits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I got up off the ball and realized woaahhhhh this baby is coming NOW! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I later learned that your body has a natural reflex to push the baby out. You have no control. And that is exactly what happened. I wasn't ready for that first sensation to push out my baby and so I thought I was going to die. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't take a breath. It was horrible. After that first push I was able to turn on my side in the bed and felt so much better. My OB sat right beside me and held my leg. And then after another push.... or two or three, and me biting Ryan... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I grabbed my slippery baby boy and pulled him right up on my chest. Well the cord prevented me from getting him to high, and it was around his neck. But after that minor hiccup, I got him and held him and did it. He was here. And I was going to get my Chick-fil-A. </div>

I was very happy to hop in the shower, eat my chick-fil-a that I got for BREAKFAST! and get ready for big sister's arrival. She couldn't have been more excited to meet her baby Pax. She loved seeing him. Smiled, laughed, cuddled, tried to hold him, and read him lots of books. It was absolutely the best. </div>

We stayed in the hospital for two glorious nights of sleep, movies, cuddling on the couch, and relaxing. No--- I'm not kidding. We were the only patients on the floor. The nurses left us alone. We didn't have a toddler. Pax slept. and slept. and slept. It was a great few days. We were able to go home to our new life on Christmas Eve. The perfect Christmas present. </div>

And well--- when its time to eat--- its time to eat. Notice her staring at the make-up girl. She was very interested in what was going on!<br />

The bridal party! These girls are the SWEETEST. I mean- I am not surprised that Allison has sweet friends, but man. They all went above and beyond helping me and Eden all day. They did everything they could to make it perfect for Allison- and remained calm when someone's dress completely ripped open. Completely. Like a 2 foot split in the back, and this was BEFORE the wedding. No worries. I was able to sew it up--- and all without Allison knowing ;)<br />

My hero for the day... My mom! She came to help me and help me she did. She undressed me for each feeding. Carried my sweet bundle of joy around all day. Dressed the little peanut. Held her during the wedding. Entertained her and drove her around downtown Savannah while we were getting pictures made. I am really so lucky to have such an awesome mom. She gave up all weekend plans and drove across the state to hang out with us. She's the best.<br />

She solidly wears three month clothes--- although the footie night gowns are almost too short. She has big feet and wears 6mo booties. She :almost: sleeps through the night. Most nights are a dream in the newborn world. Only waking up once from 10-6. (Then going back to sleep until 9).<div> Ryan is home part time which is amazing. We are so lucky to have this time together with our lil needy girl. Yes. She's a little needy. Perhaps all newborns are. She wants to be held 90% of the time... Including during naps and car rides. The car ride part is the most difficult. Oh and it's not just a hold. It's a hold with movement. Preferably bouncing on the yoga ball. I have gotten lucky in the rocking chair and by just swaying. But seriously. My abs and legs and butt should be solid from bouncing and squatting. <div>Eden is also a fan of loud noises so we are constantly playing some sort of sound machine. The louder the better. This week it's been the vaccum. As soon as she starts to cry if ya hit her with that noise... Boom. Calm. The one plus here is my house has stayed impressively clean. </div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The best part are the smiles and laughs and now Eden interacts with us.

I still can't believe it happened like it did, but I am so thankful that it did! I couldn't have written a more perfect story.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last week of my pregnancy I knew things were changing. I had strange pains, cramping, and contractions off and on. On Saturday I woke up to some serious changes. I won't go into details--- but trust me. I made a call to the doula and she reassured me that I was fine and that labor would probably start soon. That morning I just felt the need to walk, so Ryan and I did just that. We walked and walked. We decided that night to venture down to the corner of our neighborhood where a block party was going on. We enjoyed some music (okay, not really, the music was terrible, but we enjoyed watching people) and some local beer. I had a few contractions and thought hm, those are a bit stronger than normal. On the half a mile walk back home I had a couple that made me stop in my tracks. I still didn't think anything 'major' was happening, but it was. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like clockwork at midnight, 1am and 2am I woke up with a contraction and the need to pee. I thought it was pretty bizarre, but whatever. At 3am I realized okay, maybe something is happening. I woke up several times and looked at the clock again, 3:20. Oh man.... These contractions are pretty regular. By 4am I decided to get out of bed. I downloaded an ap (because writing down contractions seemed like too much work) and realized my contractions were 7 minutes a part. I didn't want to bother anyone so I just worked through them. I felt good. I was controlled. Calm. Breathing. Doing everything I had learned in my class. At 6am I decided I should wake up Ryan. </div>
<div>
In the sweetest voice I could muster up, "honey, we are going to have a baby today" I am pretty sure the response was... What?!? How do you know. </div>
<div>
And then I had a contraction and he realized... oh. We are having a baby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I kept thinking these contractions were going to stop, or slow, or just last forever. I mistakenly told my mom not to leave when I texted her at 7:30. I thought we had plenty of time. Ryan had cut up a watermelon and I was snacking on that. We had some Bon Iver playing in the background. It was really such a great environment. During these early contractions (until about 8) I was able to sleep in between contractions. Ryan and I were amazed that I would be OUT in a deep sleep for six minutes between contractions. It was amazing. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
By 8:00 my contractions were all of a sudden 5 minutes a part. I contacted the doula and let her know what was going on. Forty minutes later I texted her again, "I think you should come, they are getting closer." It was at this point I realized oh man. This is happening fast. I couldn't walk from the living room to the bathroom (50 ft?) without having contractions. Emily, our amazing doula, called and heard me in the background have a contraction. She told Ryan she was on the way. At this point I had given up my phone. I had no idea if my mom was coming, I didn't know if anyone knew, I really don't know what was going on. We were working through contractions though. Ryan was amazing--- pushing in the right places, saying the right things- he was awesome. </div>

<br /></div>
At 10:15 Emily arrived at our home, saw me and told Ryan we need to get her to the hospital. I was in very active labor. I was shaking ( I thought I was cold, she said it was the adrenaline/late labor) and couldn't walk more than a few feet without having a contraction. What in the world was I doing at home... I know. I did have a moment of panic thinking I wouldn't make it to the hospital. </div>
<div>
<br />
Slowly though--- we made it to the car. I think I had three contractions from my living room to the car. All the while a group of 20 somethings walked by our house. They saw me, got really quiet, and walked swiftly away. Ryan said they had a look of fear on their face. Probably never seen a woman in labor. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thankfully Ryan got me to the hospital safely and in a very timely manner. He got to drive super fast and run lots of red lights. He came through again with the most perfect music in the car. I will forever think of my 'labor day' when I hear the band The Head and The Heart. I am glad I have that memory :) Back to the car ride. It was awful-- other than the music. Painful. Bumps. I rode in the back gripping the car seat wishing it was over.<br />
Once we arrived to the hospital, I realized the challenges were just beginning. I had to get from our illegal parking spot to L&D. I used an old technique though that came through. I looked ahead and told myself, just get to the bench. Just get to the desk. Just get to the elevator. That worked and I ended up at the L&D outpatient area.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Yay. But nay---- the only nurse I had a bad experience with, was in the triage area. This dear old nurse (I am sure) was convinced I wasn't in real labor. Despite my CONSISTENT contractions she took her damn time getting to me to check me. I mean at this point I am pushing on my own. I was having the urge-- so I went with it. Forget her. Emily told Ryan to call our doctor again since this was taking so long. The doctor promised to try and speed things up and get me a room. It was about that time the nurse walked in to check me--- the 'first time mom in labor'. Oh but did I prove her wrong. I was fully dilated and the head was coming down. </span></div>

BOOM. I was very quickly whisked away to labor and delivery where lots of nurses ran in and out and then my doctor. My favorite doctor. The one that helped us get pregnant walked in. She didn't leave either (as a nurse, I knew this was a really good thing). It was around this time I said--- oh someone. Get a camera! I want at least one picture of this please!!<br />
<br />
The view from the delivery room was spectacular. Mountains. Bright blue sky. It was a glorious day. This picture does not do it anywhere near justice--- but at least you can see the beautiful mountains I was climbing in my head! </div>

So yeah. Let me recap. at 1030 I walked into the hospital. 1115 or so I was in a room pushing with my doctor. 1220 I had a baby. Yeah it was that fast. It was insane. Pushing felt like much more than an hour though. It was hard. I couldn't figure out 'how to' push, but after using the mirror I got it and pushed our beautiful crazy little girl into the world. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The greatest words I have heard in my life, besides 'I do', were "Danielle, reach down and grab your baby." These words are the most empowering words I have heard. At this moment I grabbed my little girl and couldn't believe this had happened. I just kept saying, "I never thought this would happen. I never thought I would have a baby." It was the best moment. One I would relive over and over again. (Just the grabbing the baby outside of me part and putting her on my belly part ;) ).<br />

She came out superman style with her hand by her head. This is likely the reason she didn't come out any sooner! (So thank goodness for that!) We had the best bonding time as our little family became 3 for an hour or so. I love Mission Hospital so much for that. No interruptions. No weight or height. No medications. Just quiet skin to skin bonding. Just Ryan, Eden and me cuddled up.<br />
During this time, Ryan texted our families, which were all shocked that we already had her. And about an hour after the birth my mom walked in. Totally crushed that she missed the birth, but I was so so happy to see her and show her our beautiful girl. Our little Eden.<br />

It was crazy. I am still shocked it happened like it did, but so so happy. I loved birthing at home for so long. It was peaceful and perfect. Ryan was my hero--- perfectly helping bring this little girl into the world. We spent the day eating (oh that was me) and spending time with our wonderful families. I am so thankful that she came labor day weekend! Lots and lots of family came up to love on our sweet family. I couldn't have imagined anything better!<br />

Not only were we undergoing a lot of change in life--- jobs, new house!, new city, etc. we were trying to have a baby. Luckily... ok well there is nothing lucky about the situation--- but for use, we knew there were problems right away so we didn't have to wait the full year of trying before we got to start medications.<br />
One year ago, September 2014, we started the first rounds of some fertility medications. It took four different providers and from January until September before we found one that would/could help us while being slightly sneaky on the insurance front. For the most part my insurance covered nothing once I had the "infertility" diagnosis. I am very grateful for my doctor who did everything she could to use other diagnosis to sneak around the stupid rules of the Catholic church, but let's not get me started there. Back to our story.<br />
<br />
We did three rounds of medications and realized they were not working. They were actually creating more problems. I had one 'final' ultrasound the beginning of December. There was nothing inside that looked like a human could be created, and a few huge (golf ball size) cysts. Time to stop the medications and just enjoy the holidays.<br />
This was probably the lowest point of my life. I have never felt so broken. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. I was a mess. God has given me a few incredible women that allowed me to be broken. They didn't try to fix anything (there was nothing to 'fix) they just let me cry and be mad. I think another redeeming factor... Ryan and I made a pact that if we were pregnant by next Christmas we were going on an epic two week backpacking trip somewhere during Christmas next year. I couldn't handle another Christmas without a baby. I was pretty excited about our 'plan'.<br />
Enter January.<br />
New year. New possibility. Another ultrasound... It looked different to the doctor, but it could have been due to a lot of things. The pregnancy test was again negative (this was probably the 100th test taken) but I wasn't surprised. I started more medications, but on January 2 I had this sensation. A tingle? A spasm? An implantation? Who knows....<br />
I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. WHAT?!?!??<br />
This. Is. NOT. Possible.<br />
physically not possible.<br />
There is no way.<br />
I took four. They were all positive. I called my doctor's office, went in for blood work, and within 2 hours found out, yes. I am pregnant.<br />
I still didn't believe it. I am sure other women feel the same way. After going a full year of trying to get pregnant and taking so many negative tests, to hear that you finally are pregnant, just doesn't seem right.<br />
That evening I told Ryan.<br />
He was just as shocked. I mean we had just been told ONE month before (when we would've gotten pregnant) there is nothing in there this month. We will have to try again later. Really.... how in the world.<br />
<br />
The first eight weeks were a whirlwind. We told our parents, but no one else. Okay and Sara. I just didn't think it was real. I thought something else was going on. A false pregnancy. A tumor. Anything but a baby.<br />
<br />
January 29 though--- we heard the heart beat. We saw her teeny tiny body being formed. We knew this was real. Our life was changing. We had a miracle.<br />
<br />
I tell you this story to let you see a glimpse inside the story. This child of ours is a miracle... yes yes all babies are miracles. But seriously--- Eden is a little more. She was formed inside of me from nothing. Medically and scientifically she shouldn't exist. But God works miracles. She was created and formed and given to Ryan and me.<br />
<br />
I don't know if we will ever be pregnant again, which is one reason I tried to enjoy every moment of pregnancy. I had so much fun. I loved being pregnant. Feeling her kick and move. Feeling her hiccups. Dreaming about what she would look like. Our future together as a family. It was a beautiful pregnancy and I loved every minute of it.... really. I did.<br />
<br />
All the way up to the birth... and that story is coming soon. :)Danielle Sniderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16851588157647236354noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995493001851867337.post-65490074855764051632015-08-18T11:29:00.001-07:002015-08-18T11:54:45.723-07:00A massive phone dump...<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So. I know, I know. I haven't blogged in two months. I apologize. I know I have a huge following of people just waiting to hear and see what I am doing. I have been up to a lot... Hopefully this will be a quick run down of fun pictures to remember and document the final bit of pregnant me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br />Since I am in the final countdown.... (meaning one month or less of pregnancy left) I figured I should do a big phone dump. Get you caught up on life--- so I can start fresh and ready when this little bundle of energy joins us on the outside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I guess we need to go wayyyy back. All the way back to June. When I was just 27 weeks or so... </div>

Saturday night we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary... although we decided it feels more like 8 or 9. We've been together 11 years.... so along the way the years just blur. We went to Hot Springs and had a perfect dinner at the most beautiful restaurant then had massages and a soak in the hot springs.</div>

I love the story of a quilt. There is something magical about creating something beautiful from a pile of fabric. I know it just sounds crazy to take perfectly beautiful fabric, cut it all up, rearrange it, then sew it all together. It is a very long process (well, for someone who doesn't get to do it every day). It takes patience, a few choice words, and then some more patience. It always pays off though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I happened to find out I was having a niece right around the time I found this gorgeous collection of fabric called winged. I knew this was what I wanted to make her quilt out of! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I got it in the mail... it looked a little like this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think early spring. March maybe? </div>

Once I got my 10x10 squares picked and cut I laid them out to pick a size. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
I didn't really follow a pattern with this quilt. Just sorta went with it. I had a little inspiration, but this one was mostly just me.</div>

This was the first time I got a little 'risky' on my quilting. I made some nice waves and LOVE the way it turned out!! It added so much texture and made the quilt the perfect crinkly goodness. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our week of eating hard --- and walking harder through Oregon exceeded anything we had imagined. Our days were long, but every day brought new adventures. This will be the first of a trilogy of posts. One for food, coffee & beer. One for water. And lastly one for land. There is really no way to fit it all in fewer. We saw some pretty spectacular things that I can't wait to share with you. Our trip to Oregon was a trip of a lifetime. It certainly was worth the long days of work, each picking up extra jobs and saving everything we could to go and really enjoy. We've (ok me) already started dreaming our next adventure--- with the lil peanut in tow. Our adventures in life are only really beginning. I was so silly to think this was the last one--- it's really just another one in our life of exploring and seeing this incredible world. I'm so lucky to have the greatest travel partner in life. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

The amount of food options in one city is really mind boggling. It was really really hard to pick places to eat. We lucked out though and had some great eats. Everything from biscuits and gravy to Vietnamese wings. </span><br />

If you can imagine there is a coffee shop on literally every block. Not just any coffee shop though. One that probably grew their coffee beans on the roof and then roasted them inside. That might be a stretch--- but it's not far from the truth. Right off we would say stumptown coffee was the best. If you visit us in the next week we will probably brew you a cup. The atmosphere and the flavor just couldn't be beat.</span><br />

It kept us warm and was delicious! </span><br />

We ate at 4! The dump truck served up some stellar dumplings. "Cheeseburger" was certainly a notable one. Ryan ordered an amazing lunch at one, with the best chicken and rice I may have ever tasted. We had the best fries of our life at a truck in Bend where Ryan also had a burger/Reuben sandwich.</span><br />

Hard to say which was Ryan's favorite, but I must admit the early had their own perk for me! In Portland we went to Rogue. They make their own cucumber soda. It was perfectly refreshing! </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Deusheutes brewery is good-- but was so busy it was hard to relax and enjoy. We also went to this super cool restaurant/bar/hotel in an old school! The school had been renovated to be saved into a hotel. They had a few different bars inside, The Honor Roll, Detention, and the Boiler Room. For whatever reason we ended up in the Boiler Room. It was a really cool spot where we just relaxed and enjoyed a drink (mocktail for me!). </span><br />

The town Ryan and I would move to...if it wasn't a solid 2,000 miles from family. We went to the favorite brewery of the trip: double mountain. They made a killer root beer! And apparently a great saison beer. We picked us up a lil souvenir here that you will have to see in person. They also make an amazing pizza so certainly a great spot even if beer Is not your thing. </span><br />

This baby and me have had a breeze. Eat whatever whenever. Exercise. Relax. It's all been awesome. Until yesterday. 25 weeks of enjoying life and eating anything has apparently caused my gallbladder to freak out. I've got what they the sludge. Sounds lovely. Feels about as lovely. I've only thought death was upon me once, so I suppose that's good. Once I stopped eating life seemed to get better. Since not eating while growing a child isn't encouraged, I'm on a new amazing diet. It's called the super low fat diet.

Yeah.... a shirt/tunic/top. From a pile of fabric and using a real pattern. I am amazed. And SO PROUD! Also. This thing took me like 8 hours of solid work, so I should be proud. Anyway... Let me show you what I bought and a few steps along the way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A few months ago I bought a kit off of craftsy. In fact you can buy one too! <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/the-right-stripe-tunic-kit/4739" target="_blank">Here</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Check out the entire site while you are at it. All sorts of craft items, but my favorite: Fabric. Sewing notions. Everything you could want. Including--- my new favorite thing--- kits! So you get a great pattern and all the fabric you need to make that item! Hello easy peasy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br />So I purchased this top. Seemed easy enough and its a Simplicity "learn to sew" top made for beginner sewers learning! It was perfect!<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I will admit--- I had to do a lot of googling. And then I finally found a you tube video step by step breaking down this pattern and how to do it. I made it pretty far into the directions before I just had no idea what they were talking about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZIxdD4YM4TiQgdpVu2iQTWoTG1AppatzfRiBd6IXI9RvemobaQGqV5xrc6x-JTdkrVyfa_nI4Q4beqNjGIUbRaJr9MfxfakGGc8d8Bd4jB0fZ0jiIJtHHDpd6XX3UFmsFDABZdYpvS2I/s640/blogger-image-553039192.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Here is the top part cut out!<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha47qG5T_rhWmaXgTOdY6mXiI3quq8gkgZ_AErn2uPhyphenhyphenw-a9rC4N-mb8KBkL0VoThAtS8MymyoC3vI0fgkoIqYb_-fV1uwCO6sfO8f9PhCWED1WxMnRgItebUWISnUUISuAwIYyrzmqHKX/s640/blogger-image--646287635.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The top part is all finished here! (It was by far the most difficult)<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB_6pGA4VpyGQ8d7iHGH9OPXFnKH1XPuidVCcZBlm_3j3MpKudnSjsuomXrB8shE0u5bYnlR87HGOZJW8zb9su-5VOwURsg8irlage4KVtRPN-fsAFtO-aTkhl_cF4M4bLSxWd-FvQ_DeK/s640/blogger-image--1398620431.jpg" /><br />
<br />
But look how clean and crisp that collar looks with the shoulder seam. mmm.<br />
I am quite proud of this! I must admit. It wasn't all roses and sunshine. I thought I was going to loose my mind. I wanted to throw my machine out the window a few times. I wanted to quit after like 6 hours in... but I didn't.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj257xeqFeuNPkIiI1sxKDZ7bEnbQlfVK7K1oFjFOMBkpWs_v1Rx-N88Zeb5GOUJPUqpbhnVyBz73MfhqrzGwL5yxYnyKJ_QONgZuO8Vv2h9ON4VHpq-sVxfaRJiKiEEWGvGYMoASUpY2ri/s640/blogger-image-671116569.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I am glad I stuck with it. I have a cute top.<br />
A really cute top. <br />
Man its pretty flattering.... I swear I am almost 6 months pregnant.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixU41ozud8ucOUivAC-xEY6SkvyHy_jzi1RZBOpXwbJ_Ph4tjaol3w-3_gqlHoLzZ946-qwUmjQNm4DbG7zPhWC_J4r8RR8Srqp3Z0ODLcgI-EDrEPJ7UDnJLVYnhvwngCrMoX9DpeuwWq/s640/blogger-image--1376387024.jpg" /><br />
<br />
My goal was to wear this thing every day until I couldn't... but then I realized I am not sure it will last that hardcore wear and tear. ha!<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2t_8lW0bGbF7fFeSbRxWt4oCC4X8Y7cAPZiKjyI0R-nQ8YapNE6xl85Z8a9gKy292KqH2Z1ckfv2jOZSO9CBTlLwWbh_gH_Mt0-IamxPyUEYH1f647zLAAiD24doRlQAdfZufW123JtB/s640/blogger-image-481616641.jpg" /><br />
<br />
So I am taking it to Portland. I'll wear it on special occasions. And I'll love every minute of it.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNAVmObLsOYc22cNcBE6ueK865hJXk5EqyWNFfdRY-0WDzUTCuZKMNaSQ9owHLKCg4vxoD-mMT_RivISFMX0gmehe0IiuFiAAZ28C9mWHqi__j8F1haEO4O9OUQ7v1wvjZUpzMy9naVQtw/s640/blogger-image-224658328.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Couldn't be happier with the outcome. I swore I would never make clothing again... but I am already looking at another kit! And thinking about making this one again a little bigger, for my growing belly, and with some flowers in it!<br />

So the final project of the weekend was getting the back porch back to a livable space. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a HUGE reason we bought our home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite part of our home... well next to my sewing nook. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So I thought I would do a whole lot better with this blogging thing once I got pregnant... but that didn't happen. I should be doing better.... documenting everything and all, but honestly--- not too much is going on. I would say this is probably going down in the books as the easiest pregnancy. I think I threw up once. I was super tired, but over that now. I am really thankful! I have been working a ton and trying to do things around the house to start thinking about making a nursery/guest room a reality. Oh.... one thing is changing. I am GROWING! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So this picture is from around 15 weeks. And you can see... nothing really. </div>

So the day after Easter baby had its first national championship game---- and trust me. I had to take deep breaths to keep my heart rate and blood pressure down. After winning though---- we had so much fun celebrating in our living room! (It was pouring outside or we would've taken it to the streets). And yes... that is my wedding garter on my forehead. I was going for any goodluck charm I could find. That night the family also had numerous discussions on which Duke basketball player we will name our baby after.... we will have to wait until September and see! </div>

So excited about the next 10 weeks! So much to do! So much fun to be had. We are going to live up the second trimester. A HUGE trip to Portland. A few concerts. And having so much fun as a family of two. :) My goal for the rest of this pregnancy will be to post more. Let's see if I do it! </div>

Well there is a lot on my mind these days... and I think I'll share it with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also pinning lots and lots... so thought I would share some finds as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First up: my health. I am feeling great, and finally not as exhausted as I was throughout January and February. I have signed up for a 5K in April and in May. Not to run in, just to participate in. In April its a fundraiser for the child abuse center I work at part time. Its a great cause and a great way to keep me motivated to keep walking! In May I am doing the Asheville March for Babies. My company has a group going to walk 3 miles and raising money for babies. I thought that would be fun to do with my baby in my belly! If you feel like donating I have a website set up <a href="https://www.marchforbabies.org/march/personal_page.asp?pp=5497821&ct=4&w=6990635&u=Rdmsnider&mfb2015=1" target="_blank">here</a>.... but please don't feel obligated. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Now that the weather has warmed up, Leia and I set out for a nice 3 mile walk just down the road from my house! We are talking the most beautiful trail that goes on for miles and miles less than a mile from my house! How cool!! (: We live in an awesome spot. </div>

Here's a nice peek at the bump. It's much larger from above. I promise :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well speaking of the bump and the baby... I have been eyeing fun things for the nursery. Up first--- how fun and bright is this bunting! Best part--- I could make this for free. And I am thinking about it. </div>

Probably using some of this fabric! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the fabric for baby snider (or baby ryelle)'s quilt that I will be making soon.<br />The fabric designer lives in Asheville.... which is probably why this fabric feels so perfect. Its woodsy. Adorable. Not too baby. And great colors! I can't wait to get started. </div>

I also plan on making a few little pillows and perhaps getting the wall art that goes along with this fabric. It is so adorable.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found it on pinterest and may be using it for a little inspiration. I also may try to make that adorable and simple mobile for above the bed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bed that my baby may not sleep in for quite a while.... To start we are planning on using a cosleeper/bassinet. We made our first real baby purchase... an amazing find on one of my Asheville MaMa groups. We saved over 100$ in buying this used from a girl... who states they only used it once. I believe her too! It looks brand new! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Mowgli is slightly questionable. I was very excited to make this find! I set it up as soon as I got home---- then quickly de-assembled it for storage for a while. Ha.<br />
<br />
So the last thing on my mind and the most recent pins on pinterest.... Portland.<br />
Ry and I have been discussing our options for our "last vacation before baby". We wanted to go somewhere we likely wouldn't go after baby. A place that's a little more difficult to get to, but one with lots of adventures and fun. So right now Portland is the top of our list... We are just a click away from making it a reality.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLUcB66tNUsBYmOaKOELLC8sDugWSbquPuOszB3YKZD3ndegRlshuWu2NU32Juw0CWypg1Nik0qbea705Kd6zvx4olAFGtDiKskKWJkoy-8HClEGVo4Wl3vz1VoOLBFxvCAj7CEuq-NUs/s1600/portland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLUcB66tNUsBYmOaKOELLC8sDugWSbquPuOszB3YKZD3ndegRlshuWu2NU32Juw0CWypg1Nik0qbea705Kd6zvx4olAFGtDiKskKWJkoy-8HClEGVo4Wl3vz1VoOLBFxvCAj7CEuq-NUs/s1600/portland.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
And now that I have read every pin entitled "things to do in Portland" I want to leave tomorrow...<br />
<img alt="Things To Do In Portland, Oregon - Sunday Spotlight" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9b/45/7e/9b457e997d8c4230f2f8b1307192881e.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I mean this city is simply stunning....<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images.bwbx.io/cms/2013-06-06/tech_portland24__01__630x420.jpg" /><br />
<br />
And this beach... just a short drive away....<br />
<br />
<img height="360" src="http://cannonbeachyogafestival.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Cannon-Beach-Oregon-USA.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
I can't stop myself now. We actually got a tax refund this year... so I think we will be putting it to good use. In the long run of life---- we may not pay off our student loans early, or have the nicest cars--- but hopefully we will have a life of adventure and memories and stories that we share and remember forever.<br />
<br />
So.... who wants to donate to our Portland fund?!? (:<br />

If somehow you missed my post on Facebook or Instagram yesterday... the word is out. I am Pregnant. It was a long time coming. The past year has been a hell of a rollercoaster ride. There were a lot of tears along the way. A lot of laughs thanks to my many friends and family who kept my spirits up. A lot of doctors visits. A lot of money. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But on January 2 when I saw the positive pregnancy test... all four of them... I forgot about all of that. I was pregnant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay--- I didn't completely believe that to be true (thus the 4 pregnancy tests) so I called the doctor's office right away. I was on some medicine that I didn't need to take if I was pregnant so I had some bloodwork done and it came back right away. POSITIVE. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still didn't think it was for real. 4 days later I had more blood work. Okay... this might be the real deal. It wasn't until Janary 28 though that Ryan and I went for our first ultrasound. </div>

I have developed what most people call a beer belly. Or a mexican food belly. It certainly looks larger from above... which worries me about the next 26 weeks. Yup. 26 weeks left. Seems a little crazy. When you hear ' 40 weeks pregnant' it sounds so long.... and then suddenly you only have 26 and that doesn't seem so long at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to knock off some more 30by30's... go on lots of dates nights... make all the quilts I can... and enjoy every moment of this growing baby inside me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited about the next 26 weeks and the rest of forever. Its going to be an adventure--- that I am certain. Oh and now that its on my blog.... I will now be blogging all things baby. </div>

Over the weekend we went on a little weekend getaway, just the two of us. Not even the pups came along this time. We hadn't had a getaway for just us two in quite a while. It was really good. Reallllly good. Its crazy though, we only went an hour and fifteen minutes away, but it felt like we were really far away. (and that was the point)</div>

Our first stop on the adventure was Linville Caverns. It was really awesome and really creepy. Certainly not for the claustrophobic. Ek. It is crazy to think this is what the inside of a mountain looks like though! </div>

We finally got to the ski part of our "ski weekend". (I was saving it for last, in case there was an injury)...Okay, actually we saved it because we skied Sunday night and Monday all day for the price of all day Sunday. Really. The savings were crazy. So Sunday night we skied. Ryan so patiently taught me enough to feel very comfortable and to have some fun.</div>

I was proud. I went 3/4 of the way up... and survived coming down. The views were just awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a ton of fun.... until I didn't any more. I had a major crash and ran into Ry and knocked him down. I got up and said I'm done. Sadly, I still had half the mountain to get down. I got down. Took off my boots and called it a day.</div>

Well not entirely, but a new look. I love a new look. I wanted to freshen things up and add some color to this space. I have a few goal for the new year. One of which is to blog more--- isn't it every year? <br />Maybe this year I will actually do a little better.<br />
<br />
Another goal is to read all of the Harry Potters again and drink more tea. Here's a visual. I know you want it. I love these books. I also am starting to love tea--- and its only the ninth. That's a great start. I have cut out all coffee (except for an occasional decaf) and am pleased with myself.<br />

Earlier in December Ryan & I got our Christmas present... a new roof. This improves the value of our home and was such an important investment. I am also so happy with the improved look of our home! Check it out!<br />

You really never know what may happen. It has been a great year though, and one we will never forget! A lot has happened and a lot has changed in our life. We have had a TON of fun, done a little traveling, and had some major adventures. Here is a little look back at our year... </div>

Hello my friends. I apologize for not blogging lately. A lot has been going on.... which I know means I should be blogging a lot, but I am not. Sorry.... Perhaps I will blog more with the coming new year. I'll work on that. Okay, for now... a quilt. I decided to make a post about the story of a quilt. Not too many people realize the work and time that goes into a quilt. I finished several quilts this year, and started many more. I am hoping to finish up one more this year.... and I already have a long list of quilts to do next year. Its one of my favorite things to do--- so I don't mind! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Well, let's get to the pictures. May I present to you... The story of a quilt. </div>

Quilts are amazing to me. What starts out as giant pieces of fabric turn into amazing, warm, cozy, love filled blankets that last lifetimes. This quilt was nautical themed. I started working on this quilt in September at the river house in Cordele. This fabric was the jumping off point. All the other fabrics I bough I matched up to this one. This quilt is for my second nephew. This quilt will blend well with the quilt I made Llewellyn almost 3 years ago. </div>

I stumbled upon these fabrics and began by cutting the fabric down to 5x5 squares. </div>

I love how they blend so well!<br />

<br />
From there, I sewed them together in groups of 3's. Then those three lines I sewed together to make one big square of 9.<br />
<br />

Magic!<br />
Just like that you see a quilt coming a long!<br />

<br />
I had many plans with this quilt. One idea was to do a disappearing nine patch, but I finally decided to just go with the 9square block. I am so happy I did. I am thrilled with the end quilt!<br />
<br />

<br />
At this point I thought I would be done, but decided it needed some length.<br />

And then I thought I was done.... but no. somehow miscounted and had to go back and cut out 9 more 5 inch squares. Wups!<br />
<br />
SO! Finally we have the start of the quilt top. According to my phone this picture was taken October 24. So a month and a half in. Not too shabby!<br />
<br />

<br />
From here I added borders. I decided on a top border of fun pirates and the side chevron. I am pleased with the way it turned out.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mowgli liked it too. Below is laying out the quilt top with the batting and the backing.<br />
For the backing I used a blue sheet. Sheets are my FAVORITE thing to back with. It just makes sense and is so cost effective. Also... if you hit up Goodwill you are talking a HUGE amount of fabric for pennies. *of course make sure your sheet is free from stains and smells!<br />

<br />
Next up is the basting. This is when you pin it all together. Thanks to Sara's Granny we know all about these awesome curved pins and the Kwik Klip. Go on Amazon and buy it right now. You won't regret that 9$ purchase.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Klip helps you close all those 100's of pins without poking your finger.<br />
<br />

<br />
So. The quilt is all pinned and rolled up and ready to be quilted! November 13 is when I took these pictures. So--- two months in. Pretty good!<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyQSF5_mjWUnpWImBnHc6U-Ry83DU51L0pUwbDBamKef6bNKs2-EcXtowDFYuKTdny24ePDPbRhsTD7fwxBYKBhZLECvSiR2x3kDEcENf6hF0Zf7yW0wtz3HE9vxhBD0taBKjJwRsn7oHs/s640/blogger-image--328535176.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Finally---- we are actually to the quilting. I use this 10 year old Singer to quilt my straight lines. It works like a champ. There are a bazillion better machines--- but this guy will do. Quilting is very tedious. It is not my favorite part. This quilt I did a lot of quilting on it... turns out--- I am so glad I did. The back looks awesome. ((Of course--- no photo of that))<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitN7qNMk1i9pfK9uPe4FZ7ItJkc2ZGWFtczBNKZTSg5KXQxhwnsUxscnF4MJBuVoepKqicxlcbC_rBRUY9NV23KhW3AnpiLkcvPLWztQJrEeSaahg1kCEWReSyitmBGIq7atkTEyA1PeFr/s640/blogger-image--994306163.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The last step to quilting... the binding. I have some pretty sweet clips (again, thanks Granny) that hold my binding onto the quilt while I stitch it down. This is the final step, and I did this yesterday.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilatfElY2yOA_8f-ucE0f36Vk6WZSPvj11NhHM29I5t2-b-q65Q745cgTHnM0KLLyl8zYZgKFcBe-dYCNKrC_did0ov1FLPGxbv61-VCJAxDma8RayTvY5c471WqkwwRyrlF4iHiuIm_Yt/s640/blogger-image-454575488.jpg" /><br />
<br />
After that's complete... You have a quilt!<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzasDzk5aLg8vFkWJ2_aTMXsHKl8l6jnibRGJTqZZcEBXWFMFLKSTZMdYG22tEcseD1rIWU4IS69n90bIb5pdxZ9fZ8vH7dpaibCCc8UrhVTis3XDbs6iI2gH_jZo5QT-A9iGeDavr3S0X/s640/blogger-image-1895750534.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Finally! Two months later. Quilts are truly a labor of love. I really love this quilt, and as I was telling Ryan yesterday, I am so impressed with how far I have come. Each quilt is better than the last. My stitches are better, my seams more in line, my quilting more intensive. I am so grateful for this skill.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuYOmyYyIDWkL7z1nfQX7Yaxv9xW42rhfSOhyvrQ9mkPrJYobQ7lPJtu7zL0ky7T3kMonjzFUM50-fjTI0iSKkLxk9E5x-dJZwK-uLh-gq6YEMuy96CdKvjfF1iVVm9gw6FIRz9q8a3Ysj/s640/blogger-image-1479525238.jpg" /><br />
<br />
And by the way... Stripes on binding... My new favorite. I'll be doing this forever.<br />
<br />

<br />
Well there you have it! My latest quilt. Can't wait to pass it on to the newest Snider coming soon!!<br />
<br />
Hopefully I will have another quilt finished next week!! And post it here as well.<br />

We celebrated his 29 years of life in style with a delightful dinner and evening at home. Just like he wanted. :) <div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46TnUWGZRPhmWDxkaAaHdaLjZXXO0Pi55lGYsiAQonIR530j8DLEOU6XIm4NkrUYJBCFhYoJ02D3mhH9rVNOcNtQYHOzJPSqr679TUQN13V-96T1oBMb5z-Sx6j3t7oPYTjYmfwgL6Zqv/s640/blogger-image--925770318.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46TnUWGZRPhmWDxkaAaHdaLjZXXO0Pi55lGYsiAQonIR530j8DLEOU6XIm4NkrUYJBCFhYoJ02D3mhH9rVNOcNtQYHOzJPSqr679TUQN13V-96T1oBMb5z-Sx6j3t7oPYTjYmfwgL6Zqv/s640/blogger-image--925770318.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As we older children are apparently good at, I bought Ryan a gift that was really benefiting me.

This is Ryan carrying it in the house. It's cold mountain and is only released once during the year from alocal brewery. It's amazing. And you can't find it anywhere. Luckily we still have connections at the old ingles and was able to grab a case from the back store room. We had to sneak it out of the store in a box! So crazy. But it's good. And I like it.

So last weekend... well I guess two weekends ago... Ryan and I took a trip to Florida and it proved to be one of the best family trips EVER. Oh my goodness did we have fun. For five days we forgot about life and stress and just had fun. It was nonstop and exhausting, but it was great. </div>
