We can't really tell if she liked it or not, but we'll continue trying new things. We are skipping "baby food" and going a less conventional route called baby-led weaning. <br />

So hard to believe my baby girl is already 6 months old! That's 1/2 a year! We are halfway through her first year, and while I'm so proud of her when she grows and learns new things, I keep asking her to slow down, because it's going by so quickly. I try to treasure each and every moment. I don't mind waking up with her in the middle of the night. I know one day soon, she won't need me to wake up with her. I don't mind carrying her (even though she's heavy), because before long, she won't need me to carry her. I'm treasuring each moment and milestone, and yet, I love to see her learn new things. So, at 6 months old, these are Emery's stats.<br />
<br />
-18 lbs. 3 oz.<br />

Tolerates is probably accurate. However, during her bath the other night, she finally figured out the splashing thing, and ended up having a blast! The place was a mess, I ended up soaking wet, but it was so much fun to see her enjoy it!<br />

It's time to get back at it, and without skipping over the last 2/3 of a year, I'm going to randomly post catch-up posts.<br />
<ul>
<li>October, 2011--the first three weeks were spent preparing for the arrival of our baby girl. I had to have a few non-stress test's done to make sure she was still good in there. My sister and her family came to help welcome Baby Girl, and once they arrived, we waited, and waited, and waited until, finally....</li>
<li>October 20, 2011--Emery Rae McKenzie is born! I will post her birth story soon. </li>
<li>November, 2011--I went back to work (already!), Emery's First Thanksgiving, and I had surgery for a umbilical hernia (belly button), and went back to work, again. </li>
<li>December, 2011--Emery's First Christmas, where she was given her first gun, a pink .22 rifle, thanks to her daddy. </li>
<li>January, 2011--Time to get back to the house-hunting...ready for our own home! Until....</li>
<li>January 11, 2011--I get a phone call at work, not long after I got there. Wade's boss tells me there's been an explosion at work, and they are taking him by ambulance to the emergency room. I'm told to meet them there, and Wade gets on the phone to assure me he's alive. More details to come. </li>
<li>February, 2011--Still working on finding our new normal in many ways, with a fairly new baby, an injured daddy, and a full-time working mama/wife/nurse.</li>
<li>March, 2011--Weekend getaway to Destin as a family of 3, and Emery's first beach trip to St. George Island. </li>
<li>April, 2011--Emery's First Easter, and first time flying, as me and Em went to Washington, D.C. to visit my sister.</li>
</ul>
I think that about catches us up. Will write more on some of these events. <br />

So these are about the only things that fit on my swollen, puffy feet. Don't get me wrong, when my feet aren't swollen, flip-flops are still my go-to choice for footwear. Maybe its the heat, the convenience, the comfort, or a combination of all three. Fortunately, my job doesn't require dressy clothing, so these work just fine, and I can sneak them off under my desk and wiggle my toes. Also, our church is pretty casual, so I can usually get away with these. My dilemma is this: my sweet, awesome sister is driving all the way to Florida from Washington D.C. to throw me my first baby shower this weekend, and I don't know what to wear on my feet!!<br />
<br />
I'm wearing a dress, but it's fairly casual, and its a maxi-dress, so its long. Will my flops pass the test for this special occasion? Will people understand that my puffy feet will NOT fit in anything else, anything cutesy and more appropriate? At this point, should it even matter?? <br />
<br />
I think I will not worry about my shoes. I think I will enjoy my baby shower, getting to spend time with friends and family, and celebrating the upcoming arrival of my baby girl. I'm a Florida girl, the forecast for Saturday is 100 degrees, and flip-flops just fit, no matter the occasion. <br />

Baby is due October 18th, which is actually our anniversary. How crazy is that? This pregnancy has hardly been without hiccups thus far, but baby is perfect, and growing just like she ought to be. <br />
<br />
<ul><li>Feb.--found out we were expecting...whoo hoo!!</li>
<li>March--miserable sinus infection, visited Primary Doc for antibiotics, where she forced me to go immediately to OB because my BP was high. Ensues panic, OB says everything is fine, and high BP was caused by evil Sudafed. Everything is fine...</li>
<li>3 days later....go to ER, sure that we are losing baby. After 5-6 agonizing hours, Doc says everything looks fine, and to take it easy for a couple of days....whew. </li>
<li>May--severe belly pain for several days; Doc says "umbilical hernia....you need to see a surgeon immediately"; surgeon determines that we should try to wait until baby comes to operate, and just to deal with the pain in the meantime....whew, again. Baby is still fine. Will have surgery to fix hernia 4-5 weeks after baby comes. </li>
<li>Late May--hoping to see a glimpse of baby....should we buy pink or blue?? Not cooperative....this baby takes after Daddy, and is stubborn as can be. We'll wait another 4 weeks....patiently (yeah, right). </li>
<li>June--Baby still won't reveal the "goods"; Doc sends me to Radiology place for better US.....she was NOT shy at all.....yep, it's a girl!!</li>
<li>Daddy doesn't talk to Mommy for 2 whole days....he really wanted a boy, and now he wants to know who is going to help him mow the grass. </li>
<li>July--Daddy is picking out dresses for baby girl to wear, and he makes sure they are all LONG. </li>
<li>Late July--Glucose Tolerance test....passed. Doc calls to say blood sugar was perfect, but "you're anemic". Makes me leave work and go to the store to buy iron supplements (and stool softeners....apparently they go hand-in-hand). </li>
<li>12 more weeks, and we shall finally meet her!</li>
</ul>For now, hernia is not too bad, baby girl moves A LOT, except when Daddy wants to feel her, and I'm feeling pretty good (other than being tired). Feels like there's still a lot to get done, but we can't wait to meet our little one!!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wow. It's been A WHILE. Figured it's time to work on "ketchin' up" on the 'ole blog. In some ways, not much has happened in the last few months, and in other ways, it seems like A LOT has happened. The biggest news, I'm growing a baby girl in my belly!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wade and I have stayed busy with work, church stuff, and house-hunting. The house-hunting has been less than successful, but we're not stressed about it. We have no deadline/lease, etc. to be out of our rental place, so at this point, with "baby girl" expected in October, we figure we will probably just wait until the new year to resume the hunt. We'll get settled with our precious girl, and then find our perfect starter home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm going to do my best to get back to blogging, mostly because this is the best way for me to remember things that we've done, places we've been, etc. My "journal" of sorts....stay tuned!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

He recently bought me a charm bracelet that I had been wanting, and we have gone out to eat a few times recently, so we made the decision not to buy gifts, go to a fancy dinner, or really celebrate at all. Last night, he actually sat through an entire chick-flick (the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0817230/">Valentine's Day</a>, to be exact) and that was good enough for me!!<br />
<br />
Well, he cheated. This morning, not long after arriving at work, an unmarked truck pulled up to my office, and a man walked up and asked for me. I thought to myself, "oh no, what did I do now?" but the nice man smiled and said, "I have some flowers for you". I started thinking "hmm, maybe my mom sent them. That was nice of her." The man went back to his truck and brought me my flowers. They were so pretty!! Wade's note read: "So sue me, forever my love" and I sat bawling at my desk. <br />

Wade. This ruling essentially legalized abortion in the United States of America. With this ruling, women throughout the nation were given the "choice" to voluntarily kill their unborn child. <br />
<br />
There are many mistakes our nation, as a whole, has made, but this is one of the greatest. Life begins at conception. <br />

My good friend linked to this video on Facebook, and I just had to share it. A beautiful look at the miracle of God's creation, life. <br />

Neither of us had been there since we were kids, and although it was supposed to rain, it turned out to be a beautiful, cool, fall day. The park was not crowded at all, and we had such a great time on the glass-bottom boats, the jeep safari tours, and just walking around looking at all of the animals. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We thought about cruising again, but were trying to think of something a little less expensive (even though I think a cruise is generally the most-value filled getaway). The parent's of one of my closest friends offered us a condo they own down in Vero Beach for the week, at no cost to us!!! What an amazing blessing!! We were able to cook some meals at the condo, have some time to ourselves, and explore the area. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In some ways I have so much to say, and in other ways I have nothing to say. The past two and half months have held one of my greatest joys as well as my greatest sorrow. I've contemplated blogging along the way, but oftentimes, I don't feel like I would do well at articulating my feelings. However, for me, this blog is a journal of sorts, of Wade & my adventures, happenings, etc. And this is part of our lives, part of us.<br />
<br />
September 19, 2010 - Wade thought I might be pregnant. Decided to take a test. I knew it would be negative. Everytime I think I'm pregnant, it's negative. <br />
<br />

It's positive!!! It's faint, but that second line is there!!<br />
Excited, scared, thrilled. <br />
Baby McKenzie is due May 24, 2011. <br />
<br />
October 7, 2010 - First prenatal appt. <br />
Everything looks great! Dr. says bloodwork looks great. Ultrasound shows a "fetal pole" but he says that's not uncommon for this early in pregnancy (7weeks, 2 days). Dr, says I can come back in 2 weeks for another US and a chance to see the heartbeat. <br />
<br />
October 18, 2010 - Our 2nd Anniversary!<br />
We were able to get away for the week to South Florida, where some friends loaned us their condo on the beach, free of charge. What a blessing! We were able to spend time with some of my closest friend, spend time alone, just the two (three!!) of us, and talked about how much our lives were going to change with Baby's arrival. <br />
<br />
October 21, 2010 - Second Appt. <br />
Was so hoping to see my little one's heartbeat, but sadly, my Dr. told me there didn't appear to be one. He wanted bloodwork done to see where my levels were at, and wanted me to see a perinatologist with a better ultrasound machine. He encouraged me not to give up yet, but also told me he did not want to give me false hope. <br />
<br />
We were devastated. We spent a week waiting for the appt. with the specialist, although the bloodwork confirmed our worst fears. We would not have a baby. The following Thursday, the specialist did the ultrasound, and showed us that in addition to there being no heartbeat, the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks.<br />
<br />
I am one of them, now. One of the women that my heart has always gone out to. One of them that had to say good-bye way too soon. One of them that feels a gaping hole, as if something is missing.<br />
<br />
As we've struggled to adjust to the idea that we will not be welcoming our new bundle of joy in May, we rejoice in knowing that God is our strength and our comfort. He has used this experience to bring Wade & I closer to each other, and to bring both us even close to Him. We praise Him still, as He is the same before this happened as He is now. And we still believe all of His promises.trishandwadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379874470753750418noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496922049091164130.post-21742444999299867322010-09-17T09:13:00.000-04:002010-09-17T09:13:55.314-04:00Feeling NostalgicI heard about this neat website on the radio yesterday. It's like a t.v. time machine and lets you pick a date, and then videos of old commercials, t.v. shows, etc. play randommly from that year. I'm having so much fun clicking through different dates, and so many of them bring me right back to my childhood....the good 'ole days. Have fun!<br />

Ok ok....it's a little far for a day trip, so we compromised and went to <a href="http://www.gastateparks.org/net/go/parks.aspx?LocationID=20&s=0.0.1.5">Providence Canyon State Park</a>, also known as "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon". <br />
<br />
It took us about 2 1/2 hours to get there, and we couldn't get over some of the hills we encountered on our drive as we got closer....it almost felt like we were actually in the mountains!! My ears even popped a couple of times. The park is near Lumpkin, GA, just South of Columbus. We paid our entrance fee, and started exploring. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Apparently in the early 1800"s. the early settlers' poor farming practices caused erosion to create little ditches. In the 1850's, the ditches were only 3-5 feet deep. They are now up to 150 feet deep....<em>extremely</em> shallow in comparison to the real Grand Canyon, but we'll take what we can get, for a day trip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it?</strong> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I remember several toys/animals that were favorites when I was younger, but the earliest memory I have is of my "Cholly Dolly". She was soft and washable, and had a rattle in her head. I'm pretty sure most every child born in the 70's had one, but mine was extra-special, because she was mine! I still have her, and hope to pass her down one day!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is not a picture of my actual Cholly....mine is much more "loved", but this is what she looked like. </span></em></strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Looking back, I feel bad for my sister. She had the blue version, which was a boy with a vest. I guess being the "2nd" child, she often got the less desirable optioins. For Christmas one year, we both wanted CD player/boom boxes. We were given identical boom boxes, except mine was brand new in the box, and hers was a used model my dad found at a pawn shop. Totally unfair for her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><strong>2. Do you dream in color?</strong> <br />
I'm lucky to ever remember a dream, much less recall if it was in color or not. For some reason, I RARELY remember my dreams. I do remember one dream I had over and over again as a child though. I still remember every detail even though it's been 20 years. Our family was getting out of our car where we had parked along a street/sidewalk somewhere (always seemed like St. Augustine to me). There was a canal that ran parallel along the sidewalk, and a shark jumped out of the canal and landed on the sidewalk. It flopped along chasing us until we finally got away. I know, I'm weird, but it was always so vivid. <br />
<br />
3. How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? <br />
I'm 5'3 1/4". If you notice, I was sure to include that additional 1/4 inch. I don"t really mind my height though....there are plenty of other things I could find to change, if I had to. Like this stubborn silver strands that keep popping up in my freshly cut & colored 'do. <br />
<br />
4. If you could have anyone's (celeb or other) voice as the guide on your GPS, who would it be?<br />
Such an easy question. Mac Powell, from Third Day, and he has to sing to me in between navigating. My husband Wade is fully aware of my infatuation (with Mac's voice, not him, necessarily, although he is an awesome guy) and lucky for me, Wade is a huge Third Day fan as well. <br />

<strong>5. Do you return your shopping cart to the corral or leave it wherever in the parking lot?</strong><br />
Most of the time I return it to the corral. Occasionally, particularly if I'm being rushed by a certain significant other waiting in the truck, I will leave it somewhere else, but I'll place it strategically where it will not be in the way for others to utilize the space. <br />

Warning: To come next week, picture overload of two adorable littles that I get to snuggle soon!<br />

We wonder if we should spend the money to replace our boat battery....asking ourselves if we'll even get to use it much longer. We discuss taking a day to go fishing down on the island (St. George Island...where we got married) as we've heard that they've seen some effects from the oil. I guess we are still in the "holding our breath" pattern, anxiously waiting to see if our precious coastline will suffer the way so many say it will. <br />
<br />
This past Saturday, we took a little day trip over to Destin, FL, just to get away for the day. Destin is one of our favorite spots, as the water there often reminds us of the Caribbean. It's almost always crystal clear/turquoise and amazing. Even though we didn't go over to "go" to the beach, we couldn't help but take a peek.<br />

<strong>2. What's the best compliment you ever received?</strong><br />
A couple of weeks ago, I was asking my sister how my BIL's job interview went, and she was telling me about some of the questions they asked that he didn't expect to be asked. The interviewer asked my BIL who is role model is, and he said it was his mom (so sweet!!). I asked my sister who her role model was, and she said it was me. I thought she was joking and being silly, but when she convinced me that she was serious I started crying (I was driving in rush hour traffic, too). I am so humbled, honored, and not AT ALL worthy of that, and there are so many better people that she could choose as a role model, yet she chose me. The BEST compliment ever.<br />
<br />
<strong>3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?</strong><br />
This question made me laugh. Before I got married, I ALWAYS bought Kleenex Cottonelle. Growing up in a household that frequently was "out" of TP, I promised myself once I was on my own that a.) I would NEVER run out of TP, and b.) I would have the good stuff. <br />
<br />
Then I got married. We still don't buy the "cheap" stuff, but apparently Angelsoft is best for septic tanks. At first, I was devastated and I thought my husband was just telling me the septic tank line to get his way with what TP he liked. I researched it and found out that, in fact, Angelsoft is best for septic tanks. So, that's what we use....until we move!! Then it's back to the best for my bottom. HA!<br />
<br />
<strong>4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?</strong><br />
Yes, and it was fun. However, I'd much rather throw someone else a party. You see, I don't really like being the center of attention (AT ALL) and it's bad enough when it's a party in your honor that you know about, but when it's a surprise and you stand there with a dumb look on your face and ALL THOSE PEOPLE STARING AT YOU??! Not a fan. <br />
<br />
<strong>5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"?</strong><br />
Hmm....probably a phone (or at least some way to communicate with those I love.) And then there are the days when I'm ready to throw it out the window and become Amish. And when it comes down to it, I could live without it if I had to, but I really wouldn't want to. <br />
<br />
Have a wonderful weekend!<br />
