loving baby girl sofia loving baby girl sofia after 5 ivf cycles we ve welcomed our baby girl sofia to our family life is changing fast and we re loving every minute of joy that she has brought to our life was it all worth it oh yeah monday december 3 2012 hi sheepish grin so i swear that i wasn t able to log onto my blog the last 10 times i tried i thought that blogger had done something changed some settings i don t know but i swear it didn t work so i tried again today and it worked no problem ok so here i am want to see my little sweet pea here she is this is going to be our christmas card she is huge and smart and charming and perfect here s a quick rundown of her stats eating everything under the sun still enjoying veggies we are blessed with her eating habits sleeping right smack dab next to one of us as always wouldn t have it any other way we completely got rid of her crib last spring and bought a full size mattress where one of us parents sleep each night whomever isn t with baby girl in our bed she goes to sleep at about 8 each night and sleeps til 7 or so potty training on hold we were going strong in early fall but then got tripped up so doris felt it was best to wait a little while i m fien with it sofia still likes to sit on her little potty but nothing comes out anymore we aren t pushing it especially now since we re going away for christmas and diapers work way better on the road i swear though that her size 6 diapers aren t going to fit much longer and that s as big a they come so we need to figure it out soon i think sofia is about 40 inches tall and weighs about 35 pounds she is wearing size 4 5 not 4t regular 4 tops and 4 bottoms except in jeans where she s still a 3t sizes are weirdly inconsistent she is in shoe size 9 5 10 girlfriend still can t jump wth she tries and tries and tries sometimes she gets air but usually not so much talking up a storm knows her letters and even some sight words college applications are going out shortly momma stats still working as a middle school counselor still trying to balance life trying to figure out what this blog should be all about these days my goal is to update more like i just said i m not sure what my blog goals are but i figure if i start writing maybe that will make itself known my next job is catching up with all of you i can t wait to get reading posted by tracey at 12 03 2012 12 14 00 pm 73 comments thursday march 8 2012 2 hi there it s me just checking in it s been so very crazy at work and i haven t had a moment to read most posts let alone write one so here s what i ve been thinking about lately baby 2 or rather not baby 2 it seems like so many people are pregnant again and if they aren t already pregnant with 2 they re trying i definitely feel in the minority here but the question here really is whether or not i don t want another one or if the fact that it s highly highly unlikely that i ll get another one am i telling myself i don t want one i think i really don t want another one i know that might change over time but life is just too perfect and easy right now what if 2 is fussy and cranky and awful what if 2 has special needs that are so involved that it takes away from sofia what if 2 makes me lose my mind what if 2 makes us have to file for bankruptcy because we will be so broke what if what if what if so don t have one done but here s the problem it s those frozen embryos what do we do with them i can t throw them out i feel like i need to try but it s crazy to try if we don t really want another one right that s why we re giving it time to see how we feel next year i just don t know what we ll do there s only 2 and they are staying frozen until we figure this out in sofia news life is great she is perfect and wonderful and i love her more every single day she is such a big girl and i can t believe how we are actually having conversations now even though she doesn t have a ton of words she nods and gets excited and we talk all day long she knows exactly what we re saying and responds appropriately or follows directions she s a genius just kidding not really posted by tracey at 3 08 2012 03 16 00 pm 5 comments wednesday january 11 2012 one of those people so i naively thought that i had some sort of super power because i had not become one of those people who talks about their child incessantly i thought it was a bit curious though because i seem like the type of person who would be talking about their child all day long people ask me how she is and i ll just give a brief response like she s great really starting to run these days or i ll just answer direst questions i spent some time wondering why i didn t go on and on and on about her all the time sure there are some people that i would and could gush to but for the most part i was under control was here s what i ve learned i didn t talk about her too much because there wasn t a whole lot of stuff to talk about but now man she is doing a new cute thing every minute of the day there is much to report to anyone and everyone within a 10 foot radius of me i am one of those people now and what do i tell them just anything and everything that sofia does each day for instance the other day i heard her babbling like usual and thought nothing of it then i really listen and realize she saying un ooo ree and i look and she s counting the gel window clings we have one two three what we ve counted before but always with me as a model we hadn t counted anything the whole afternoon and now she s counting on her own brilliant child college applications are going out next week do i think i m getting on any one s nerves yet no not yet but that day is just around the corner posted by tracey at 1 11 2012 02 01 00 pm 2 comments monday january 9 2012 what am i 14 tmi alert read with caution i have bled through yet again another pair of jammie pants what is going on with me last month i went through two pair of jammie bottoms i now have no flannel jammie bottoms left what is going on in my uterus the problem seems to be that i m bleeding inconsistently there will be barely anything and then a huge flow that makes me leak within 2 hours i haven t had these issues since i was in middle school and learning about the whole period thing and since i m putting it all out there let s call it what it is clumpy yuck and if i m being honest i kinda bled through my panties here at work this morning it s not awful and doesn t warrant a trip home but ewwwww being a girl sucks sometimes and i ll be honest that early menopause isn t something that i m afraid of bring that bad boy on posted by tracey at 1 09 2012 10 30 00 am 3 comments friday january 6 2012 missing home how did i live without my blog for so long maybe i m just excited to be back and once the freshness wears out i ll feel differently but right now i am just loving being back in my bloggy world coming home after spending the holidays at home buffalo home childhood home is always hard i start fantasizing about what life would be like if we lived close to my family it breaks my heart to watch my mom say goodbye to sofia i start thinking about how my mom could see her almost every day and the happiness that it would bring her i feel that it is so important for sofia to grow up close to family but then i wonder if it is worth the cost to us both literally jobs are scarce there and figuratively russ does not want to live there for various reasons weather opportunities lack of diversity and more we love our life though and i can t imagine how it could get any better maybe if they moved here which will never happen it s hard here s what i fear we move back and their my family s world does not stop for us and we don t see them as much as i think we would the amount of quality time sofia spends with my mom now is huge on visits they are spending 24 7 together if we lived there it might be a 6 hours per week more or less sometimes it would just be more regular time the weeks months apart is really hard so my is coming to visit in 2 weeks for my birthday very exciting i m trying to figure out what fun things we can do my birthday falls on a saturday so i want to do something all day with sofia my mom and russ i m a little obsessed with figuring out where i want to eat sofia does very well in restaurants so anything is a possibility i haven t been with my mom for my birthday in years so i m happy when you guys are writing your blog does the fact that this is a permanent record that your family spouses kids siblings possibly parents friends will someday read this thought inhibits what i write all the time strangely enough i have no problem with these people reading about my personal stuff think aggressive wiper post it s my feelings towards certain people that i don t want down on record it would most likely just be venting but i d hate for one day anyone thinking i didn t love them because i vented about them in a blog once hmm posted by tracey at 1 06 2012 12 56 00 pm 3 comments wednesday january 4 2012 here we are it s been an embarassingly long time since i ve posted i ve got no excuses but it s so great to catch up with everyone though i ve barely even gotten started with that i have to be honest and say that for some crazy reason it is still funky when i try to comment on some blogs it takes forever and then the screen freezes and i have to wait for it to refresh and it frustrates me so if i m not commenting it s not because i m not reading so our little sofia is a big 16and 1 2 months here s the latest sleep habits with one of us every night right in the bed now ha we recently gave up even trying to get her in the crib she sleeps a solid 12 hours with us in bed and we are happy nuff said i m done making excuses or giving into pressure to sleep train she s happy we re happy eating habits everything last week she enjoyed butternut ravioli and shrimp she seems to eat anything we put in front of her but then will weirdly dismiss simple foods like last night when she refused peanut butter and jelly she is nothing if not inconsistent here except with her favorite food peas she is totally off bottles and loves any straw big or small actvity she likes to count things even though doesn t say numbers she just sort of grunts for one two three she is running everywhere and i m not sure why she feels the need to get places so quickly she still likes her cuddle time and will spend morning cuddled watching tv with me in bed she loves to help with everything like folding laundry and emptying the dishwasher talking regularly says momma daddy bye no and yeah but that s about it i feel like she should be more advanced with her language but i know i need to be patient she understands everything though and follows directions well sofia please bring these socks into momma and daddy s room and put them on the bed task complete in seconds love it many times i don t know how she could possibly know some of the things she knows but she demonstrates new knowledge every day health excellent no colds no fevers no stomach bugs she really hasn t been sick at all and we re thankful she is still measuring in the 95 for height 94 for weight and 97 for her head she is wearing size 2t everything and size 7 shoes everything this baby girl does is amazing and i love her more every minute of every day some pics posted by tracey at 1 04 2012 09 22 00 am 5 comments monday september 12 2011 she s 1 she s walking she s leaving for college ok maybe not quite yet but it sure feels like it i ve been gone for a looooooooong time and i m so sorry mostly i m sorry to myself because i really wanted to use this blog to document sofia s life and milestones and so far i have sucked at that this will be short because i m needing to actually do some work but just a few updates sofia turned one on august 17 we had a wonderful party up in buffalo and it was perfect lesson learned is that making a big huge deal out of the perfect decorations and stupid details is expensive and stressful and really doesn t pay off in the end next year it will be all about sofia and not about impressing party goers sofia is walking she can go about 10 steps on her own and is getting better and better every single day sofia is almost exclusively straw cup with the exception of one bottle before bed this explains why she had a bit of a fit this weekend when we were at a baby play group and all of the babies had their bottles and she carried on because she had her straw cup and did not appreciate it one bit for a baby who never cries she sure proved me wrong on saturday she is huge she weighs 25 pounds 95 and is around 33 inches i think it s the 97 ile i just can t remember right now she sure is consistent she is growing out of 18 mos clothes but her 24 mos stuff is still a bit big she does not have any real words mama comes out but i m not convinced she s talking to me though she does say it when she s upset so maybe i love her oh that s not news i ll post some pics soon lastly i still can t comment on blogs with my acct so forgive me if i seem absent from your blogs i ll work on it and post anonymous if i can t resist posted by tracey at 9 12 2011 12 05 00 pm 3 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom blog archive 2012 6 december 1 hi sheepish grin march 1 january 4 2011 21
