Throwing Up Daisies

Here I am 13 Weeks and 3 days Pregos.  My belly has grown 5 inch and my Bust about 3.  I have not gained any weight but somehow look extremely bloated like Mr. Kool aid.  I have had the pleasure of throwing up twice in front of co workers at work this week.  The first one was from picking up a dead rat, somehow I couldn't resist the Portland Hipster rat with glasses.  Well that was what I was hoping to see, but instead it was a really smelly thing and I lost my breakfast.    My second expelling of food happened when the guys at work made me an amazing Pork chop dish with saffron Isralie couscous.  It seemed so appetizing to me, but somehow my body felt different.  Not to cool to throw up in a kitchen while your friends make you a dish they are proud of and the baby had to be so rude.   I have been extremely tired, like someone is sucking the life out of me.  But on a positive note my body is changing really beautifully and healthy.  I really enjoy watching my belly grow and my husband getting joy out of taking care of me.  He is up with me when I have to run to the bathroom and try's to put me to sleep,  also he gives my foot and back massages every night.  My parents seem so happy with this new life for them and it is such a pleasure talking to them on a daily basis.  We are really excited and just taking it day by day.

Pregnant Over Portland.

This is a picture that I took of my beautiful wife last Sunday at Beautiful MT. Tabor.  She is 12 weeks and 3 Days in the Photo.  I sure do love my Honey Bear and our little Cub growing inside.  

The Crib!!!

So here it is the crib that I had as a child and what I have been looking for endlessly.  Well we actually found it at a thrift store in perfect condition and wait for it.....   we got it for only $30.  Can you believe itand it is up to safety code.   So far all we need for the baby's room is a Mid Century changing table and a rocking chair and  a rug .  Then a couple items that are fun for the room.

We Are Three

It is the life I love within you, both the new life and the old

The way you strive to find a virtue in a story seldom told

It is the curve apon your belly, the serenity you smile

Your tender touch I yearn for much, and holding our dear child

A new year lay before us pregnant with possibilities

Though there is nothing that is certain there is no need for unease

For we have come to learn, my darling, we stand bolder side by side

And if it be that we are three then stronger we shall fight

Let us awaken to a sunrise that’s more brilliant than before

Let us look upon a new day that was created to explore

For times not slipping by, oh no, just approaching with great haste

And we must do our best, embrace it with the firmest of embrace 

A woodland creature knows just one thing, to find shelter from a storm

Stay close to the ones you love and they will surely keep you warm

For if these clouds cause darkness, my sweetheart, come inside, come inside

And if it be that we are three, we are one flame, we are one light

Make a pilgrimage to the new world where rivers don’t run dry

Where the soil’s rich and fertile and so bountiful with life

It is the curve upon the mountain, the serenity of the sky

Your house shall bore an open door with wonders wide inside

A new year in this new land with a new life in our midst 

Fragile heart with fragile hand by gentle touch and tender kiss

For we have come this far, my dear wife, with hopes and dreams to guide

And if it be that we are three than these virtues shall abide

10 Weeks 4 days Of Baby Foxtail Cady

You should of seen Foxtail Move like a Jumping Bean

Welcome to Baby Foxtail Cady’s Blog.

That’s right! Joshua and I are going to be a Mommy and Papa. I figured to write this blog since I have done so with my business and it was so much fun to have people follow me and comment on my work, especially threw this journey of ours.  Joshua and I decided to start trying for a baby about 2 years ago. I had no idea how difficult it would be just to try for a baby. After a couple Miscarriages and seeing specialist and finally seeing my Naturopath, Wendi.  We did it!!!!

Since living in Bend and having my own business everyone told me to take a break and stop stressing.  I will admit I am a workaholic and I tend to over work myself all the time especially when I had my business.  So Wendi told me in September 2010 (WHEN I started my Work with her) MY Mantra for the year 2011 is ” I am not doing that right now” OH boy did that help.  It really gave me this amazing NON-STRESSED year to enjoy our last summer in Bend and Prepare for our move to Portland.  So after many thought’s on restarting my Business in Portland, with no investors seemed like night and day without my husband and no money for a while.  So I decided to get back on the line and work in a Restaurant.  I interviewed for a couple of jobs and finally took one as the Executive Pastry Chef at Papa Haydn’s. Which has allowed me to have SOMEWHAT set hours and I am able to be home at night with my husband.  So when the big move to Portland came we packed up the biggest U-Haul they had (NO joke, apparently moving your home and your business takes a lot of space).  And we moved to St. Johns in North Portland.  I started work shortly after that and Joshua went of many interviews.  He finally found an amazing job at Portland Preschool as a Preschool Teacher.  It is really the cutest thing and Joshua is so perfect at it.  It has been wonderful especially since he works with two Autistic CHILDREN.  BECUASE he is starting his Master’s program this June for Special Needs Teaching.   I am very proud of him.  He just graduated with his Bachelors at OSU this spring, so we are almost done with school.

         Ok so we live in Portland, we both work and we love the city.  So we were talking and we said early this year lets take a break get my body healthy and then we will start trying in December.  Well apparently Wendi helped us more than we thought and for my 28th Birthday on the 28th (A very special year, dreams come true) I just wished for a baby that rocked and who would of thought but the next week we conceived.  I have been tracking my ovulation and periods for over a year and I know exactly the day I ovulated and when we conceived.  Which we just got confirmed that I was correct last week.   So there it is, we are having a BABY.  I wanted to keep it a secret due to our past history.  But it is now almost the 12th week and baby Foxtail is Lively and happy.  The Ultra sound went so great and we even saw Foxtail Jumping up and raising the roof, so cute.  The look on Joshua’s face was priceless and the feeling I had was UN imaginable.  I will be posting updates on me, baby and our life in Portland. Stay tuned.

By The Way Joshua Wanted To Make Sure That Everyone Knows That Our Baby Will NOt Actually Be Named Baby Foxtail Cady.........   This is just a stand in till we find out the gender of our little fig.
