A Few Christmas Pictures
Here are a few of our Christmas pics we took right after Thanksgiving (can you believe I forgot to take pictures of V's first Thanksgiving? I'm totally kicking myself over that)
This is the one I used on the Christmas card. I need to scan it in and post it, it's beautiful!

Shutterfly is Fly
I LOVE Shutterfly. I have been using this site to store all my pictures as backup. I never backed up my photos before, but once I started uploading hundreds of pictures a month of Vivian, I knew it was important so I wouldn't lose them forever.
When M and I got married, we started the tradition of sending out photo Christmas cards each year. I always ordered them from another site, but there were only a few styles that I even liked, so it limited my choices. Last year we didn't send Christmas cards because V had just been born and we were about to send out birth announcements.
When I started shopping around for announcements, I found my favorite ones on Shutterfly. I really liked the quality, so when Christmas cards came out this year I went straight to Shutterfly to see what they have. They offer SO MANY choices and their cards are stunning!
What makes this company even more awesome is they are offering 50 FREE holiday cards to bloggers! Find out more about the offer here.

Nerves.
I should be sleeping right now. But I've been lying in bed for about 45 minutes with way too many thoughts swirling in my head.
Tomorrow (Today actually) I am going in for my LEEP procedure (I talked a little bit about the issue here - it's not cancer, but I have some bad cells that they want to get rid of). I'm a little nervous but I'm trying to distract myself with other things, like obsessing over weaning V off bottles and onto sippies.
I keep telling myself this:
I've been through plenty of pain. I have experienced both the worst physical and the worst emotional pain of my life all in the past two years.
The worst emotionally was losing Dylan. It hurt so bad that I literally ached all over physically. Sometimes I couldn't breathe. I often wished I were dead too. But I lived through it, and I feel good now. I made it, and I'm okay.
The worst physically was my recovery after having V. I don't know why it was so bad, but I couldn't walk for two weeks. I even cried when I peed (why is it no one tells you how awful recovery is?). I thought I'd never get back to normal! But I did. I made it, and I'm okay.
Tomorrow? I don't think it will compare to either of these experiences. I am afraid it'll hurt, but I just keep telling myself that it'll all be okay and that the pain won't be as bad as what I've already experienced.
I'll make it, and I'll be okay.
Wish me luck.

Ten Months, baby
Gorgeous Vivian turned 10 months yesterday!
It's very hard for me to believe that in TWO MONTHS she will be one. This is by far the most fun age so far (will I be saying that for the rest of her life - until the teen years at least?).
What's going on:
-V has 7 teeth. 3 bottom and 4 top.
-She is crawling (FAST), pulling up, cruising.
-She stood alone (without holding onto anything) for 10 seconds today!
-She is saying Mama and "Mahm" in proper context (to me!!!!!)
Her stats:
15 lbs 8 oz (2nd percentile)
27 1/4" (22nd percentile)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget to follow me on Tumblr!

Slacker
Call me a slacker. I know I am. I'm having a hard time finding the spare minutes to write a blog post, and when I do I usually forget anyway!
Today I am catching up on my blog reading (which I've also been slacking on) and read that one of my favorite bloggers (Addicted To Addison) made a Tumblr. Sort of like a blog/twitter/miniblog thing.
So I decided to make one too. This way I can do short little updates on things that don't need a whole blog post of their own. So if you adore Vivian - which I know you do or you wouldn't read my blog - then go ahead and follow me on Tumblr so you can read all the minuscule details of our life. :)
My first Tumblr post is about Vivian's 10 month stats. A real 10 month blog post is coming soon though.
