Tis the season for a.... blizzard?

Its been over a month since I've written and I've missed the blog. My computer completely crashed so I was not able to write. Today I now have a functioning computer and we are completely snowed in for the day. The whole southern Wisconsin is that is. 15 inches of snow and 50 mile an hour winds. Fun right? I'm loving the fire place on and the Christmas cookies. I'm hating the fact that my power goes out every 5 min so I'm going to type fast.

So what's all happened in the last month? Lets see... Thanksgiving did. We celebrated with all sides of our family and kept ourselves moving. I did have to work that night but hey, no biggy. All was quiet at the Birthing Center. Tayla wore her cute sweater and filled everyone's heart with smiles. We were a little under the weather due to constipation issues, but she smiled anyways.

(power outage number 1 while trying to write this post....)

(make that power outage number 2)

Isn't she just super cute in this sweater and smile?

(poweroutage number 3, 4, and 5... this is getting ridiculous. Either on or off people!)

 Tayla is just growing like a weed over the last few weeeks. We now eat regular food and needed her xmas present early... a new High Chair!

(Ok after attempts 6, 7, 8, and 9 I gave up writing for the day and postponed it a day!

 

We played around with her new christmas dress and took some cute pictures of her!

 

 

This hat was one of those 'free deals' on Facebook. All I had to do was pay shipping. According to the website the lady charge $35 for this hat and all I had to pay was the $8 shipping!

O and we learned how to climb out of our bouncy seat now.... hehehe

 We love bath time even more now that we can sit and play with toys and splash....

We can stand in the exerciser , which she loves to do most days.... 

 

Moving on to a serious note. Life is sure catching up with me now. I've been really busy with work things all the time. I'm on so many committees. And to add on top of that I'm going to get trained on teaching prenatal classes after the first of the year. My husband just had surgery this week. I'm happy that he is going to feel better soon but that also means that all house work and baby duties and well just about everything in general is now on my plate. I don't sleep anymore. I cry all the time. But I keep it to myself. I actually had to pull up the Edinbaugh Post Partum depression  scale two days ago. They recommend seeking help after a score of 10. I was 14.

I don't know whats sadder. The fact that I scored a 14 or the fact that even though now I have proof I have a problem, I still don't have time to seek help because life is so crazy right now. I'm just hoping that with the blizzard that we had yesterday and being snowed in today again, that I can decompress and start fresh on Saturday. I'm probably going to turn to this blog more to get my feelings out. I need an outlet. No one in my personal life even knows this blog exists so I'm going to just write in here like a journal.

I'll take more pictures of all the snow today and post some tomorrow maybe. Just do me a favor if you do read this, and send a prayer up for me.
