How Far Does This Have to Go?

Is it bad that I am SO frustrated that my poor little girl is sick? I feel selfish in my frustration - but how far does this sacrifice and love of a Mother have to go sometimes?
I have been stuck in this house for 3 days, canceling one big event after another while I clean up throw up, do laundry, and basically run around in circles trying to keep Jude entertained and away from a moody Brooklyn all day and try to prepare for events that I keep having to cancel in the end!
So far I missed the mission call opening of my Mission President's daughter and good friend - She got called to MY mission and it would have been SO awesome to be there! Then yesterday I had to cancel the CTR7 Easter Party I had planned and had 5 dozen eggs in my fridge and tons of candy and balloons for and now today I couldn't go to my POWER OF MOMS retreat! I had been looking forward to it for literally 3 months and then last minute couldn't go! On top of it all, I haven't been able to work out or sleep well so the mix just doesn't add up to a very happy Paige.
Things could be so much worse and the person we should really feeling sorry for - and I do - is Brooklyn. The poor thing has a bad case of the flu, with the throw up, fever, chills and all. She is feeling a little better today though, just obviously not well enough to drop off at a babysitters!
I promise a more positive post to follow!

Oh Paige, I'm so sorry. That's no fun to not have Trey there to help. And all those plans canceled too. I love you, I don't think less of you, and I hope that Brooklyn feels better soon.

I'm so sorry you missed all that fun stuff. Being a mom is the hardest thing I have EVER done. Hopefully your little lady is on the mend. Love, Dawn

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
