He loves running around, climbing UP the slides then walking down the stairs.<br />
<br />
He watches close as other kids play with a smile on his face then tries to mimic what they did. He is shy and often times watches and laughs before warming up and slowly approaching them.<br />
<br />
I usually go during Ryla's morning nap so I can peacefully snuggle her on a bench and watch. That was until one day I saw all the other moms this way, sitting on a bench, cigarette in one hand cell phone in the other. Their kids yelling and begging for their attention, wanting nothing more than mom to watch them climb this tree.<br />
<br />
It hit me then that I did not want Mason to remember me as the mom on the bench.<br />
I didn't want him competing for my attention over the phone or any other insignificant thing.<br />
I didn't want him to lose faith in my love and attention.<br />
I didn't want him to give up on me and do things without asking me to admire them. <br />
<br />
<br />
From that moment on I decided I wanted to be the crazy mom, who looks 12 and like I belong on the jungle gym, climbing the steps and falling down the slides. I cradled Ryla in my arms and we ran up and down that play place. I burned my arms rolling down the slides, I sweated more than I wanted to. I chased him under bridges and between areas I could barely squeeze. I didn't take pictures to document on Instagram but rather made memories and adored smiles.<br />

I often times get caught up in what I want to do;email, blog, workout, watch this news story, drink a cup of coffee before it goes cold but I realized all this can wait. I have 2 littles growing up too fast and I know they are taking in everything I do right now. I want them to learn what is important to me and that is them!

I have had a ton of people ask what my plan post baby will be as far as running.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't even think that would be a question</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my passion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
ran all through pregnancy as most of you know. It took a bit of a toll
on my body. During the final month I had terrible knee pain and barely
completed my half at 36 weeks. It was such a downer for me to not be
able to run that last month. I was worried that after Ryla came I would
still be in pain and not able to run. I made sure to stretch and take
care of myself after she came and once my body was ready I was ready</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Running to me has become a part of me. I don't run just to get fit and stay in shape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run because I love it and I love how it makes me feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run because it makes me stronger on the inside and outside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run because of the confidence it gives me as a mom, woman and wife</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run because it clears my head and helps me let go of stress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run to feel empowered</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I run to feel accomplished</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When
I started running I couldn't run around the block. I spent hours
pushing myself both physically and mentally. I became faster, stronger
more sure of myself and what I could do. After I ran my first half I
knew I could accomplish things I thought were unheard of. I became more
confident in my skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After
running my second half, 9 months pregnant, I knew I could do anything I
put my mind to. This has helped me tremendously in my role as a mom.
Having one child is difficult but having two has been more work, stress
and tears than I was ready for. Running has become my me time. After I
run a run where I just want to give up but don't I realize I am strong
and capable of handling everything life throws at me. This may seem
silly to some but running has helped shape in many many ways</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, to answer the question of whether I am going to continue to run post baby, YES! </div>

I don't remember having this much fun with my sisters when we were small.</div>

Probably because that was 25 years ago and who remembers that far back?</div>

I stood up and there was a pile of liquid in my chair<br />
"yup, my water broke"<br />
<br />
I hadn't had any contractions all day and was confused why my water had broke. All I knew was this was finally the time.<br />
<br />
We cleaned up the table, called my parents to let them know what was happening and packed a bag for Mason to go have a sleep over with grandpa.<br />
<br />
The hours passed and still no contractions. We waited for what seemed like forever before things got started. Finally around 10 pm I started having contractions, light little ones that were 12 minutes apart. At 1 am I called my mom to come over, contractions were still 10 minutes apart but I wanted her there.<br />
<br />
Time continued to move slooooow. Contractions stayed at 10 minutes only getting stronger not quicker. Kathy (my midwife) told me to call when they were 5-7 minutes. I was becoming frustrated, tired and eager. I thought the second labor was suppose to be quicker!<br />
<br />
At 5:05 am I had a nasty contraction that was painful and different from the rest. I knew she was coming. I woke my mom who was sleeping on the bed next to me and Austin who was on the couch. We decided to see when the next contraction was before calling. The next one came in 4 minutes. Austin went to fill up the pool and I moved to the medicine ball.<br />
<br />
Another contraction camein 3 minutes, I stood from the ball and looked at my mom<br />
<br />
"she is coming right now"<br />
<br />
I went to use the restroom but barely made it the 10 steps from my room to the bathroom before another contraction hit.<br />
<br />
"Mom, she is coming right now" (nobody would believe me the 10 times I kept telling them!)<br />
<br />
Next thing I know my mom is yelling for Austin, I am standing in the middle of the bathroom screaming (one of those pure panic and terror screams that I look back on now and I am completely embarrassed about) and I am crowning. Yes, she was coming and it was just my mom, Austin, and I to deliever.<br />
<br />
Austin scooped me up and took me to our room where I was placed on the bed. Another contraction, more crowning. I yelled at Austin to either pull her out or push her back in. Funny the things you say and do during labor.<br />
<br />
My mom got Kathy on the phone, she was on her way but I knew she wouldn't make it in time. One more contraction, a hard push and Ryla was born.<br />
<br />
Austin delievered our baby girl!<br />
<br />
She was perfect<br />
Beautiful color<br />
10 Fingers and toes<br />
Crazy brown hair<br />
<br />
We were in love and still in shock<br />
<br />

I really want to start documenting our memories with my camera again and sharing with family and friends.<br />
I have had a few people tell me recently they miss reading my blog and staying updated so here I am in full efforts to try to stay on top of it again.<br />

Just a few pictures of what has been going on lately to start things off..<br />

Did you make it out to the fair? What was your favorite part?</div>

He is 15 months old today and I haven't posted much lately so here is what the booger is up to<br />
<br />
He has conquered walking and now can run. Yes, the child runs. He runs when you say lets get dressed, he run when you say lets change your diaper and he runs when you say lets go bye bye.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
He talks up a storm just like his daddy. Most of it is jibberish but he know a lot of words too<br />
Words he says: hi, bye, up, mom, dad, papa, puppy, dog, gampa, gama, yesh, ok, bath, peas, out<br />
His favorite words to say are "mom mom mom mom" and "up up up up"<br />
<br />
His favorite people are grandpa and daddy<br />
<br />
He has such a huge personality right now. He says hi to everyone we pass in the store or out running. He flirts with girls like crazy. He blows kisses and gives kisses.<br />
<br />

<br />
He knows and points to his or your tummy and nose (he sticks his finger up his nose when you ask where his nose is). We are currently working on ear. <br />
<br />
He loves singing. He grabs the kindle and walks around with it singing "whoo whoo whoo" until you play music on it. He already has favorite songs (anything by Jason Aldean or Luke Bryan). He also dances most of the time music is playing.<br />
<br />
He loves being outside and will spend hours outdoors regardless of temperature. He likes to swim and climbs in his pool whenever outside; fully dressed and all<br />
<br />
He is such a bundle of joy and makes me laugh and smile everyday. I love how energetic he is. He loves other kids and playing.<br />

Mason got to spend the day shopping and swimming with Aunt Brooke on Friday. Even though she lives in Kansas City I am glad Mason gets to see and hang out with her. He returned home completely wiped out from his fun filled day! <br />

1 lb ground beef<br />
1 packet taco seasoning<br />
1/3 cup queso<br />
1 cup cheese<br />
3 large flour tortillas<br />
<br />
Brown the meat.<br />
Drain grease<br />
add taco seasoning as directed on packet<br />

Layer pan- tortillas meat mixture, 1/3 of the shredded cheese.<br />
repeat for 3 layers<br />
<br />

Austin, who rarely comments on dinner, also sent me a text from work saying dinner was delicious.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18350417732211487375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925782155443811431.post-31062140055721879642012-07-22T13:09:00.000-07:002012-07-22T13:09:57.365-07:00B/OFor those of you who don't know, that stands for blighted ovum.<br />
<br />
Two weeks ago we went in for our first prenatal visit with Kathy, our midwife. As I laid on the table cold and anxious, I wanted nothing more than to hear the heartbeat of our little baby. This pregnancy had felt so different than Mas'. I hadn't been sick once and it was hard to believe I was almost out of my first trimester.<br />
<br />
After 5 minutes of wiggling around and changing positions there was still no heartbeat to be found. Kathy suggested we go in for an sonogram the next day just to make sure everything was okay. Many reasons arose why we couldn't find the heartbeat. I had just emptied my bladder, maybe the baby was in a weird position or I was possibly not as far along as I thought.<br />
<br />
The next morning I filled my bladder and we headed to the sonogram. Again I sat cold and anxious as the lady painfully pressed all over my belly. We sat quietly for about 15 minutes before she told me to go empty my bladder and she was going to try a transvaginal ultrasound. Not knowing what was going on I used the restroom and hurried back in.<br />
<br />
Another silent 15 minutes went by. She then told me to clean myself off and she would be back to talk to me. It seemed like instantly Austin and I knew the baby was not healthy.<br />
<br />
I had experienced a blighted ovum or "missed miscarriage."<br />
<br />
The sperm had attached to the egg but only 2 of the 3 next parts took place; a sac and placenta were formed but the embryo did not. There was nothing more than an empty sac. They don't know much on the causes of this other than the body detects something is wrong and tries to stop pregnancy immediately.<br />
<br />
My body hadn't realized there was no baby yet so the only options were to let it naturally catch on and go through a miscarriage process or have a d&c. Kathy recommended letting my body take care of it myself and I agreed.<br />
<br />
This weekend my body realized what was going on and I went through a mild labor (about 24 hours of constant cramping/contraction like pain) and the passing of an empty sac and placenta.<br />
<br />
I write this today because the physical part is over and now it just a matter of emotional healing. I haven't told many what I am going through and instead of replying to single text, phone calls and facebook post on how pregnancy is going I felt it better, for me, to let everyone know.<br />
<br />
My sister in law wrote me this verse:<br />
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" Matthew 5:4<br />
<br />
Thank you to all my awesome friends and family who have been there for me so far. You have been a blessing in encouraging me, lifting me up and listening.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18350417732211487375noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925782155443811431.post-53654084495728781922012-07-17T19:03:00.000-07:002012-07-17T19:03:12.000-07:00Color RunI am a terrible blogger and that is why I am just getting to posting this... <i>18 days later.</i><br />
<br />
Most of the crew decided to head up to Kansas City for the Color Run this year. At first we were going to skip it because of the drive and cost but as it neared we saw so many fun photos and articles about it we signed up last minute to run it (the day after we were already signed up for another race!)<br />
<i> </i><br />
This is what we looked like before the run<br />

You wear white, and the sweet headband they give you, and run a 5k. At each kilometer they throw powdered paint on you.<br />
<br />
When we hit the first color station everyone was yelling and throwing up their arms so we did too, we quickly learned that was a mistake as we inhaled powdered and about died <br />

He really wanted to get one while Mas was still little so they could grow up together.<br />
<br />
I am not a dog person nor did I want to deal with training a pup while having the craziness of a one year old.<br />
<br />
After Amber attacked Rockie, we gave her to a guy who had a home for her. This guy called awhile back and said his dogs had an oops liter and knew Austin was still interested in getting another puppy some day. Long story short we have a pup now.<br />
<br />
Her name is Nova <br />

Austin made sure he picked a super calm one and really she isn't too bad. She is pretty lazy and fat still.<br />
<br />
I don't love her but I guess I don't hate her.<br />

I can already tell these 2 are going to be two peas in a pod. Mas likes to dump her water bowl everywhere and she like to drink out of his kiddie pool. He likes to chase her and she likes to chase him.<br />

This fair was indoors so the wind was not able to completely ruin my booth <i>but</i> the traffic was slow and most people were just there to browse not purchase.<br />

I hope that the day was just a weird one because I signed up to do 2 more of these fairs.

<br />
He is becoming independent; when he needs a drink he can crawl to the last place he left his sippy and get a drink. He figures out things I sometimes think he will never figure out.<br />
<br />
One word he hasn't comprehended yet is bite.<br />
He insist on shoving all of whatever we hand him to eat in his mouth.<br />
<br />
Today I handed him a peanut butter cracker and said "take bites"<br />
<br />
Hey Mas, do you have the whole cracker in your mouth?<br />
