Well, I feel like it is important for me to document some of my feelings about the past few months. I think parents forget so much (<i>thank goodness we don't remember everything ;))</i> but perhaps one day these words will help reassure one of my kids going through the same thing, or someone else who might be struggling with their new babe. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My two girls were, for lack of a better word, "easy" babies. They cried when they needed something, took a soother, nursed like champs, and slept through the night (or only woke up once) from 2 months on. When they were awake, they cooed and smiled and I thought I had babies pretty much figured out. This is not to say there weren't hard moments, of course there was plenty, but all in all I bounced back to my normal self, rose to the challenge and loved my life with a baby to cuddle. Pregnancy, now that was one big kick in the pants (<i>especially with number 3) </i>but a newborn baby? Soooo excited! I got this. Been there. Done that! Bring it on!</div>

Wake up call!!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously guys, colic is no joke. There were several nights when I literally did NOT sleep. I'm not talking waking up every two hours, I'm talking screaming allllll night long, no breaks, no rest. That wasn't the norm, however. Let me start at the beginning....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Mason was 3 weeks old he fell into routine "colic" where he would cry, inconsolably, usually every evening from about 7-midnight, sometimes later. Mason was an entirely new experience for me - literally everything. To start, he didn't and hasn't yet taken a soother. This alone is a total game changer. I'm still not sure how to tackle a baby when there's no "plug" option. He also didn't stay asleep for long and especially after he woke up at night, he had a hard time falling back asleep. For the first four months, he almost always slept on my chest or in my arms. And, when you're sleeping while holding a baby, you aren't really "sleeping". We also had a TV dinner tray standing on one end, underneath his bassinet mattress, propping him up at a 45 degree angle. We did the same thing to his crib mattress, to help keep him elevated, literally things I never even thought about doing with my girls. I remember one week when he would finally crash at 4 am and then my girls were up just a few hours later and I seriously don't know how moms survive these times, but they do!! For the record, I wasn't naive enough to think that babies weren't like this. I knew this was the case with lots of babies, so initially I told myself to go into survival mode and embrace the next few weeks. Tim is a ROCK STAR dad and helped me so much during those looooooong nights. We weren't that worried at the beginning, because we were still so hopeful things would settle quickly. By 6 weeks, as many warned me, the colic had gotten lots worse and he was fussy lots during the night as well as during the day. That meant that even on days when I desperately needed a nap, there was no break from the crying and it started to really eat away at me. I have never had postpartum depression before, but let me tell you, when you don't sleep for days on end, you get depressed. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I started to doubt myself entirely. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to continue being a mom when I felt this way. I would lash out on the kids, I scared myself and them a few times. Many times all 3 of my kids were crying and I would just start crying right along with them. Some days I was a complete mess. I am a perfectionist and a go-getter, and to see my to-do list almost <i>never </i>get done killed me inside. I felt like I was failing in every aspect of my life. I was beyond overwhelmed and felt like I could sleep for a year. I had some really good days, and looking back I was so blessed! I had lots of people give me advice. I bought the expensive probiotics. I avoided and eventually cut out dairy entirely from my diet. We tried some reflux meds. It made me realize just how lucky I was with my girls. And seeing Mason in so much pain just broke my heart over and over. And knowing there was nothing I could do for him was almost more than I could bear.</div>

Mason's reaction to dairy formula before switching to soy</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
To make things just even more fun, Mason got RSV when he was two months. That entire week is a complete blur. I actually shared this story in a talk I gave in church a few months ago:<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>O<span style="font-size: x-small;">ne night as I was trying to rest after many nights of quite literally NO SLEEP, I could hear his little chest rattling as it tried to breath. I felt the weight of being his mother while feeling like i had zero energy left to give. I was beyond exhausted. I felt so alone in that moment. I felt dark despair and helplessness. Tears filled my eyes as I watched him. I was so exhausted that it took me a few minutes to recognize my need to pray. I said the same prayer I say daily as a young mom, I don’t even know if it was even out loud, but it was quite simply, “HELP”. And, I immediately felt the spirit flow into my heart. I felt peace and love. I felt so close to my Savior, and the veil was thinned as I also felt close to my grandparents, who I know were there supporting me. I had the clear thought that I should immediately take him to the hospital. I second guess way too many promptings, but I didn’t. I don’t know how, but I jumped out of bed, got dressed and drove to emergency at 4 in the morning, as many mothers before me have had to do. I was completely calm and I knew he would be ok. Although this is a simple story those emotions are still so fresh and I am so grateful for the clarity and light I can experience through humble prayer. I immediately felt exactly the opposite of how I had been feeling previously. Darkness was turned to light. Confusion to clarity. Anxiousness to calmness. Loneliness to loving comfort. </span></i></span></span></div>

"It'll be over by 3 months" was probably the most dangerous words of comfort I heard. I have to say that up until the 3 month date, I stayed pretty sane. I told myself it would be over by then. But 3 months came and Mason wasn't better. I was at my whits end, and I made an appointment with the paediatrician. Right around Easter our kids all caught the croup. The colic combined with his horrid cough made for an entirely new level of hard. I remember one night he was so bad, so I came downstairs in hopes that Tim might get a few hours of sleep. I just sat on the couch, in a numb daze. Mase cried and coughed and then cried more and I just sat there listening to him. Completely powerless, and too spent to move. Tim came downstairs to leave for work at 6:30 that morning and I balled and begged him to stay home. He had important meetings that day, but I could tell that leaving me that morning about killed him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right around the 4 month mark, I had reached a breaking point. I texted the following to one of my friends on April 12: <i>"I had so much hope things would get better. Hope that Renne would stop fighting me with things. That she would magically grow out of being defiant. I hoped Mason would turn into a happy kid once his colic disappeared at 3 months, like everyone told me. And now that my life isn't any easier, it's actually gotten harder, my hope is gone as I'm trying to accept that maybe my life will be like this for a long time. Mason might struggle for another year. And Renne might always push me. I think that this is devastating to me. It completely changes everything when you have a hard baby. I am so angry that he is this way. I'm so bitter than I have no idea what to do, or how to help him. I'm furious at myself and I'm scared of these feelings because these thoughts are changing me and my inner dialogue and how I look at my life"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a rough week, but I decided that I <i>had no choice. </i>I had to keep going. I knew that PPD was on my shoulder, but I refused to give in to those dark thoughts. Over the next few weeks, Mason started to get a lot better, and I am so relieved to report that his colic is basically gone! We still aren't sure about his dairy allergy/sensitivity, and he doesn't always nurse and there's still lots that's a mystery, but I have learned to live my life ONE HOUR at a time. I have learned that some days are lazy mom days. Others are wonder woman days. Some days are inbetween. And that's OKAY! I've learned to hold each of my children close each day. I've learned to let A LOT of things go, and to do only the essentials. I've learned to be honest with myself. To ask for help and to take it when it's offered. I've learned that the fruits of motherhood are sloooooow to ripen, and that I can survive because I love them, and love will get us through. I've learned that I am not alone. I have angels helping me on the daily, I can feel it. I've learned that the sun comes up, and each day is a new opportunity to do better and love harder. My babies are so small still, but they are going to be small for a flash of time. So, I'll sleep when I'm 80....</div>

4 years ago I became a mom!!! So crazy to think how much has changed since then. Renne has grown so much and is truly 4 going on 16. I swear. Renne is obsessed with mermaids! Her infatuation started this summer, and I thought this phase would be dead by now, but it's still going strong. She has been planning to have a mermaid party for her birthday for quite some time. She was so excited it was finally her turn after months of waiting!</div>

A few quick things about Renne: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Renne knows what she wants. She is probably the most determined person I know. I don't worry about her making friends and achieving her goals, but I do worry about how she will handle disappointment. She has such high expectations for herself, a lot like her mom that way ;). She loves her friends so dearly and is fiercely loyal to them. She loves her baby brother, and cannot stop giving him kisses. Renne loves primary and loves singing the songs. She is very dramatic and loves to play pretend. In the quiet afternoons I frequently hear her playing with her babies and acting out scenes from her favourite movies (Moana currently). Renne is extremely smart, and out-whits me with her responses. She sure loves to debate, which makes it very hard for me to stay patient at times, but she makes me better for it and teaches so much. Renne cannot wait to start pre-school in the fall. She asks about school all the time. I know she will thrive there. I love her to death and love watching her grow! </div>

Words can't describe how much these pictures mean to me. I was so happy when it worked out for us to get some taken over Christmas break. Kelsey is amazing! She was so patient with all 3 of our kids! I really will cherish these pictures when I am old and grey. I absolutely love this little peanut and my 2 beauties.</div>

Addie LOVES popcorn. Love really doesn't encompass her passion, really. She is <i>completely obsessed.</i> Whenever we say the word "popcorn" she usually tenses up and shakes with excitement. It really can become a swear word if you don't mean to make her popcorn right when you say it, because if you don't, well, she will relentlessly BEG for it by repeating "popcorn popcorn popcorn". Once she has a bowl full, her hand does NOT stop grabbing handful after handful. She can honestly eat more popcorn than me (<i>and I really can eat ALOT). </i>So naturally, we had to have a POPCORN PARTY!!!</div>

I honestly threw this together way too last minute, it was super fun making the popcorn cupcakes and cake.

A few quick things about Addison:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Getting more chatty, LOVES to sing and uses more words when she's singing than any other time. (<i>it's hard to keep up to Renne's constant chatter ;))</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>- </i>Despite her ability to appear perfectly innocent, she loves to bug her sister and get her in trouble. It's usually really funny, but poor Renne is mostly just trying to play with her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- She's doing awesome with her walking, still a little teetery at times, but trying to run around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Definitely hitting the "fun" aspects of being 2, but amazes us how she flips from her tantrums to being so sweet and happy right away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Loves nursery. It will be different for her now, as Renne is moving up to Sunbeams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Her favourite things to do are: have baths, EAT - <i>literally almost anything</i>, read books, play the piano and sing, cuddle when she's sleepy and yes, watching paw patrol!</div>

<i>"A Christmas baby!?! Who does that?"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was my first thought when I found out I was pregnant and due on December 20th back in April. Then the joke just got funnier when I went for an early ultrasound and they bumped my due date back to December 25th. Well, sorry buddy! Christmas birthdays aren't any fun, and I was telling myself with my history, I would be in the hospital on Christmas day. Both of the girls were pretty close to their due date, Renne was bang on, and we ended up staying for 4 days with both because they needed photo therapy. I wasn't banking on an early baby. Not in the slightest. I wasn't that naive. With Addie I had braxton hicks for months before, and I had a few fluid leaks, and totally got my hopes up, and that's just not a fun road to go down, so I convinced myself the timing would probably be less than ideal, but that it would work out as it should. We didn't set any specific Christmas plans, and we kept things really simple this year. I really wasn't that nervous about things though, I knew it would work out how it was supposed to. TBH, Christmas babies are THE BEST. The absolute best Christmas present = NEW BABY snuggles!!💙 Well, and being done with pregnancy is a pretty close second. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the past, getting checked has been the most painful part of giving birth. With Renne I remember begging Tim not to let them check me. That was the absolute worst part of it all. My doctors had tried stripping my membranes in the past, but were never able to, or even to find my cervix for that matter.😁 My cervix is what you call posterior, so it's waaaaay back there and quite literally it feels like the doctors are looking for my belly button until I'm basically fully dilated. On Wednesday the 14th I had an appointment with my doctor. I was 38.5 weeks, so she asked if she should check me, knowing fully well how uncomfortable it was for me. I told her to go for it and to try sweeping my membranes, and she told me she was so proud of me, as if that was some sort of accomplishment. It was my motherly duty to try and give this boy a not-so-terrible birthday, right? Anyway, she went to check me and it completely caught me by surprise when she said right away "there's your cervix! you're probably at a 2-3 and it's very favourable!!" <i>what? </i>She didn't have to tell me that it was favourable, I knew because it felt way different than it ever had before. She did a successful sweep and I wasn't even in any pain. A miracle in it's own right. She also told me she would be surprised to see me go another week. <i>don't do that to me Doc. I hate getting my hopes up. </i>I phoned Tim just giddy that getting checked wasn't going to kill me when I went into labor. I honestly didn't let myself entertain the idea that it could be any day...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next morning I got up with the girls and started getting contractions as soon as I woke up and started moving around. I had been having lots of braxton hicks, so I figured it was just more of those initially. After half an hour, they began to hurt a fair amount, and were getting worse for sure. I started timing them and they were about 3-4 minutes apart. Being my third baby, and knowing Tim was half an hour away, I decided to phone him and let him know. I told him to be on stand by, but not to get his hopes up. He also phoned him parents and told them to be ready. At this point I was struggling to walk through them, so I figured it would be a few more hours at the most until go time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as Tim got home the contractions slowed down significantly. It was like as if someone hit "pause". I was devastated. I knew that the labor was real, it felt just like Addie, and I hadn't ever had start-stop labor before, labor that felt like that anyway. Being super hormonal I obviously broke into tears and had a pretty good cry. Tim didn't know what to say to me, poor guy was disappointed too, but couldn't show it since I was emotional enough for the both of us. I felt foolish and confused and just ripped off. After accepting that it wasn't going anywhere I went upstairs and had a nap. I kept getting the odd contraction here and there, so Tim didn't want to leave me by myself. We went and ran some last minute Christmas errands, which was great to get my mind off of things. I had several contractions that literally stopped me in my tracks as we walked around the store. They were pretty painful, but so irregular. I was so confused! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After picking up some pizza for supper, I phoned my awesome friend Kristy who is taking a reflexology course. Her and I had been joking all month that she would induce my labor by "working my uterus" on my feet. She was so sweet and came over just a few hours later. She massaged my feet and I went to bed that night feeling so relaxed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At 2 am I rolled over and instantly felt some intense tightening. It was like someone literally pressed "play", and things picked up again, right where they left off. I decided to lay low for a while and try and lay in bed, but quite honestly things were getting real super quickly. By 2:30 I was in lots of pain, and Tim woke up hearing me puffing through a contraction. I started to get a little excited/panicky and got out of bed realizing that there was <i>no possible way </i>this labor was stopping this time. I was excited, but also super delirious as I didn't have anything packed or ready!! <i>seriously, what the heck ASH?! </i> I guess I thought packing the bag might jinx my chances of having an early baby, and I really was hoping he came before Christmas, <i>I'm a weirdo</i>. By 3:00 I phoned my bestie Joelle, who came over right away <i>(thank goodness for her)! </i>By the time she got here I was shaking and saying I wanted some drugs, and both Jo and Tim laughed and told me it was probably too late for that. I remember uttering something strange on our way out there door like <i>"I just don't know what to do right now" - </i>gotta love nonsensical labor talk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to the hospital just before 4 and Tim dropped me off at the Emerg doors. I was already feeling lots of pressure and the contractions were really painful. I knew he was coming super fast. One of my contractions walking into the hospital was so bad I started sobbing and shaking as I stood outside in the freezing cold. I'm actually amazed my water didn't break on it's own because I felt so much pressure I could feel it bulging! I tried to act calm when I talked to the check-in nurse, but she could tell I wasn't doing so hot. "<i>Are you ok?" </i>haha, Yeah i'm great, just get me the heck upstairs! She insisted Tim take me up in a wheelchair. When they wheeled me into labor and delivery the nurses asked me what baby number this was to which Tim responded "3" and they wheeled me directly into the delivery suite right across the hall. They told me to take off my pants (I didn't even have time to take off my sweater) and checked me. I was at 8-9. I was actually a lot less calm than I was with Addison just because I didn't have time to gear up for it, it was all happening so so quickly. They phoned the doctor right away, and she arrived within 10 minutes, I was so impressed and so grateful! She broke my water and I immediately began pushing. About 5 pushes and fifteen minutes later Mason was on my chest and it was done! He was here! What the heck? 9 days early?!!? Could this be real? </div>

It might not be clear in this picture, but this moment is!!!!!!!! Really explanation marks are the best way to describe it. So many intense emotions (and sensations). The relief of a brand new baby on your chest is definitely the most incredible moment. I was looking forward to this since the moment I found out we were expecting again. It's what kept me going during those long hard days when I couldn't find any relief from the pregnancy party. Labor is hard and crazy painful, but I welcome it gladly every time...</div>

There is something so magical about the moment when a baby opens their eyes for the first time, an introduction to their soul. Mason was one sleepy little guy for the first week, he hardly woke up, so I really cherished the moments when his eyes were open. </div>

Well done Mason boy! I can't believe how well you cooperated!! <i>and really, if i'm being honest, I'm glad you let me have a few hours of sleep and finish my Christmas errands in the middle of labor! It ended up being perfect.</i></div>

Family picture before we left the hospital the very next day!! What an unexpected blessing! I was shocked when the nurse told me that his bilirubin results were normal and that we could go home!

This year, lets be honest, I am spent. My body can hardly function when I'm pregnant, and it's really hard for me to cut back on nearly everything. I just didn't have it in me to plan something extravagant for our family this year, however, I am so blessed to have a super talented mother, who has a closet full of awesome <i>hand made </i>costumes. This year she spruced up an old costume of mine, one that I loved probably more than all of them combined. My belle dress that I wore when I was 4. Renne was so excited to be Belle, and It was so much fun to dress her up in a dress I loved so much! Tim doesn't look at all the part, despite his costume being pretty much identical to what the character wears, but he was crazy old Maurice - aka Belle's dad. (minus the crazy hair and short, stout build). Addie and I decided to embrace the belly, so I went as Mike Wasowski and she was Sully. Super random, but despite what this pinterest perfect obsessed society tells us, kids don't care and they had just as much fun!</div>

We definitely enjoyed the parks in town A LOT. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taking the girls to the park was actually pretty challenging because Addison wasn't walking confidently until October, so she would get sooo dirty, and couldn't do much without me carrying her (<i>more on this in a bit)</i>. Renne still needed me to help her up onto things, so the park was sometimes pretty stressful running between kids, but always worth the trip out of the house!</div>

Tim's parents rented a house in Stirling, so they have been so close and it's been such a blast seeing them way more often than we have before! What a special time. They are building a retirement home in Cochrane, but in the mean time they are super close and we are loving it. The kids are so close with their Nana and Papa and it brings us so much joy!</div>

We also had our Low Family reunion, which was only one day, but it was super fun! Renne doesn't have any first Low cousins (yet) but she is so blessed to have these second cousins all her age! She had a blast. Sadly, this is the only picture I have as I was on nap duty with Addie during lots of the festivities. </div>

I didn't get to Echo quite as much as last summer, but we still made it down quite a few times. It is always the absolute best time. Coming home is always hard, it's our little piece of heaven on earth. I cherish the time we have down there with family. Next summer should be an absolute blast as we will have 3 extra babies!!! Can't wait!</div>

Serious highlight!!!! We took our bestest buddies down to the lake over a weekend! We had the best time playing and relaxing and staying up way too late playing games. My abs seriously hurt from all of the laughter! I think our little girls had a pretty fun time too ;) We sure love the Strangs and the Holsts. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say we will be life long friends. What a blessing!</div>

I avoid the camera like the plague when I'm pregnant (<i>i know, so silly) </i>but I did manage to take a few pictures/belly shots, if you will? I have no clue how many weeks I am in these, but probably around 18-20? I definitely looked pretty pudgy right from the get-go. </div>

Renne loves gymnastics drop-in, so I signed her up for a day camp for a few mornings. She was sooo excited. It was the cutest thing and my first experience doing something like that as a mom. I definitely had a few soft tears to wipe away as I drove off. Can't believe how fast she is growing up!</div>

Some thoughts on Addie's walking delay...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So our sweetest little Ads is a kid who does things on her own terms. She's been slower with pretty much all things gross motor. I noticed that around her first birthday, she still wasn't crawling, and she was still flopping sideways to get from sitting to laying down. Her mobility was pretty much limited to rolling (which she did very well) and I knew she was very behind. Through the suggestion of a friend at church, I decided to phone and book her in to see a physio therapist. I cannot even tell you how wonderful this woman was. She saved me and helped me more than she will ever know. Alison saw us over the next 9 months, and helped Addie learn to crawl, to sit with her legs together (<i>yes, this apparently is a thing, a milestone so to speak) </i>then pull to stand, then walk along furniture, to then FINALLY walk on her own. It was incredibly frustrating and difficult as a mom, and also a really great learning experience for me. Handling it while pregnant pushed me to my limits at times. I was definitely beyond concerned, I was losing sleep over it. Not to mention the comments from people that were all good intentioned, but I avoided bringing Addie places at times, just to avoid explaining it. <i>Having a child who can't walk is definitely not all it might be cracked up to be. </i>People would say to me, <i>Enjoy it! She's stationary! She can't our-tun you yet!! </i>No. This was beyond any of that thinking...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This right here is a typical Addie stance... limp leg dance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We tried everything from bribes to cheering to walking toys to different shoes. I even used a device called an "upsee" for several weeks where Addie was strapped into booties that were connected to my feet, and then held up by a belt I wore around my waist. It was exhausting walking along with her while 6 months pregnant, and eventually it became a punishment that we had to stop using. She would cry the moment I brought it out. So bizarre. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alison had me space out our furniture exactly 18'' apart at one point, because we knew that was the width of a gap she was comfortable crossing between furniture. <i> </i>I rearranged my entire living room with tables and chairs interspaced and I put her toys up on the furniture so she had to stand to play. We are talking extreme baby steps here people....We would set the simplest goals like "carry addison with her legs together, not wrapped around your waist", things I would <b>never</b> have thought of on my own! (<i>kids like Addie who are very low tone are extremely flexible, so carrying her with her knees together instead of super wide and wrapped around my waist, made it so she had to use her core muscles more, and helped develop muscle strength).</i> I remember thinking many times that maybe Addie would never walk. It felt like it was taking forever. We ruled out lots of possibilities, her eyes, her feet, her hips, her legs. We saw quite a few doctors along the way and everyone told me the same thing, <i>she looks fine, she's just not ready. </i>We did discover that she does have external tibia torsions on both of her legs, meaning her leg bone turns out naturally, making her feet turn outward to the side. This makes it more difficult for her to walk, and she might not out grow it until she is 4, but it will correct itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can't <b>make</b> your kids do anything. You can encourage and teach them until you are blue in the face, but they have to do things in their own time and in their own way. This makes complete sense, not a new thing for me to hear, but it was something that I had to learn for myself, to let things go. To ignore the mom guilt thoughts, and the comments from others. To be <i>patient </i>in an entire new way. We are almost positive that there is anything "wrong" with Addison, <i>although at one point we were discussing some potential disorders, </i>and she's been doing great ever since she decided she was ready, but it was an experience that changed the way I look at my kids. It changed how I see kids with disorders and with limitations. I am grateful for this obstacle we had to overcome. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On September 28th, Addie decided she was ready to walk on her own. I cannot even describe my relief. Even typing this now, my eyes are hot and wet reliving that moment. She finally could do it! I was at home with the kids and she started walking between objects, about 10 steps at a time. I still remember sending an email to Alison immediately after I phoned Tim. No one really understood but her, and I will forever be grateful to have had her support throughout all of this. I will never take legs that work for granted again...</div>

We cannot believe you are 3!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 years ago you made me mom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 years ago you made my heart burst.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 years ago I had no idea what was about to begin...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being your mom is quite the adventure. You are so full of personality and spunk, you always keep me on my toes. I love that about you. You help me learn so much everyday. About myself, and about the plan of happiness. You push me to be a better mom, person and friend. You help me understand just how much our Heavenly Father loves us. I love you sweet girl. Never change.</div>

This girl is a huge Paw Patrol fan. She is obsessed to the max. I told her a month ago that she needed to throw out her soothers, and if she did, she could have a paw patrol party with her friends. On the morning of her birthday, she threw out her soothers completely on her own. She came into our room that morning and told us she was a big girl and was so eager to have her friends come over. The look on her face when she saw the decorations and the cake were worth all of the work I put in to make this party happen. </div>

My mom almost always had the party set up the night before or for after school when I was a kid, so we would woke up or got home, we could see them. It was such a fun surprise, a tradition I plan to continue with my kids. I love parties! I definitely get that from my amazing mom.</div>

Yesterday our little Addie J turned 1!! I just can't believe how quickly the year flew by! It is so bitter sweet watching your babies grow up. You don't want them to and it breaks your heart when they grow out of their clothes, but there is nothing more rewarding than watching them learn and experience life. Addie's little personality is shining more and more every day, and I am loving watching her grow.</div>

My amazing friend Joelle made this banner for her. Addie's current stats are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
22 pounds 4 oz </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
29.2 inches and she has 9 teeth!!</div>

We had a snowflake party with some family and close friends. I decided to print off some of my favourite pictures of her to hang, and I got a little carried away, but it was just too hard to pick!</div>

<i>I have to write this down because it was so cute. Renne was so excited for Santa to "Come" to the house. In the morning she says to me "Mommy, where's Santa? He's coming over?" She thought she was going to get to see him, guess she missed the part about him going all around the world. The next night (Bowing Day night) Addie was having a hard time sleeping and Renne would whisper "Addie, it's ok, be quiet and go to sleep. In the morning, Santa will come and you can open presents" Tim and I died laughing. Guess she also missed the part how he only comes once a year. Too funny. Please don't grow up!</i></div>

On Boxing Day we took a family picture since we are rarely all together these days. It was freeeezing. Literally -25. We ran outside and my brother-in-law, Eric and my dad set up a tri-pod and an app on their phone that acted as a remote. We stood there for about three minutes, snapped a bunch and ran back inside. Eric did this all on his own. Amazing! He worked his photo shop magic so we were all smiling. No more paying photographers with him around I guess!</div>

The week later we did so many fun things outside! We went skating on my cousin Brad's pond a few times. It was dreamy. We also rented the rink in Coaldale and the boys played some hockey while the girls skated with the little kids. It was a blast. My mom also watched the girls for us so Tim and I could go on a snowboarding date! It was heaven! I hadn't been snowboarding since before Renne so I was a bit rusty and nervous which surprised me but by the end of the day I felt great. It was really strange for me to be on a triple date with my two baby sisters and their boyfriends! Haha. So funny! </div>

Addie is still my rolly polly girl. Literally. She still rolls rolls rolls like a maniac all over the floor. She still isn't crawling, which at times concerns me, if I'm being honest, but she is just content on the floor, and gets everywhere she wants. It works for her, and she still feels so little to me, I love it. Addie you can stay a baby as long as you want!</div>

Addie weighs 21 pounds 3 oz and is 28.5'' long! She is my juicy peach. So soft and squishy, and fuzzy on top! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loves to nap, sleeps in the afternoon. She is basically weaned now, and we have officially switched to homo milk except for in the middle of the night. I still cherish this time. I hope she nurses for a bit longer, but I can tell she is almost done with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addie is so funny now and makes hilarious faces. She loves giggling with her sister and they have been playing so cute together lately. She loves Renne but gets a little panicked when she gets too close and lets me know when she needs space. She has a very sensitive side and a super sad cry if you take her toy away or scare her. It breaks your heart every time. She is my little dolly who still loves to be held and loves to cuddle. She eats like a champ and loves cheese, bread, apple sauce and ice cream when she sneaks some! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addie will put herself to sleep places and I frequently find her with her head down just relaxing. The other day my friend who watches the girls for me sometimes said "every mom deserves to experience a baby like Addie". She is just so easy and so good. I sure am lucky. </div>

"Men are that they may have joy"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been blessed beyond measure. I have felt so much joy in my life and have been given much more than I deserve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have had an amazing year. Looking back it hasn't always been easy, in fact it's been very trying at times and very busy, but I just can't believe how much I have grown, because of these 2 sweet girls. They have shaped me into a much better person.</div>

Life is messy and hard and exhausting and unfair. It's a terrifying world for a young mother. I have no idea what the future holds or what will happen next year, but I know that when I try to do what's right and my priorities are straight, I feel the most incredible joy and peace, even amidst the chaos of life. I know in those moments that I am not alone, that this role is divine. </div>

Oh Arizona!! I now understand all of the hype. I cannot believe how wonderful it is down there! Truly! My mom, my sister Bryanne, my Auntie Shari, my girls and I had the BEST time on our girls trip. We relaxed, tanned, shopped, swam, went on runs, swam some more, ate delicious food, went on adventures, it was everything I could have wanted.We stayed in a huge house with it's own pool and hot tub, and a park across the street! I have to say, it was HEAVEN and the perfect trip to do with your kids. After a week, Tim and my dad came and spent 4 days with us. We made some really treasured memories. I plan to go back as soon as possible. Tomorrow would be great.</div>

I just can't get enough of this silly billy. We went running together every. single. day. It was amazing! We almost died (not actually) running through the dessert. Gooood times. Watch out for scorpions! </div>

<i>-->We actually found 5 scorpions inside the house and by the pool! One afternoon I heard my mom SCREAM so loud and there was one on her lawn chair just inches from her leg where Addie was sitting. Haha it was actually ridiculous. What a sight we were screaming and chasing the scorpion around and then we finally decided drowning it was the best idea..? Don't ask...Soooo we threw it into the pool and watched it slowly die. With my dad and his nurses on Facetime laughing at us! It took so long! It started to really mess with our heads and some of us could hardly sleep by the end knowing we had seen one in our bedroom just hours before I put the girls down. Anyway, I was happy to say goodbye to those disgusting critters. Luckily no stings this trip though! :)</i></div>

We decided super last minute to go see the Cardinals play. It was <i>crazy hectic </i>parking and getting in (we found out they won't allow anything but clear bags inside and Tim had to run the diaper bag back to the van 2 km away! I felt so bad. Once we were in our seats it was a total blast! I have never been to an NFL game before! </div>

I was super worried Renne would be done after 20 minutes, but she loved every minute. She sat on Tim's lap just gazing and taking it all in. She loved to follow the mascot running around and I think the noise completely shocked her to the point of speechlessness (which is seriously rare for this one) She talked about the football game and the "red bird" for weeks afterward. </div>

This year for Halloween, Renne wanted to dress up as "Skye" from Paw Patrol. She was dead set on it and I just couldn't say no when she saw the costume at the store. I thought it would be fun to do a family theme, so we all jumped in on it and were a few of the other characters from Renne's favourite show.</div>

I knew this year I wanted some nice family pictures taken. (Not pregnant, plus our picture on top of the piano was outdated). Kelsey is literally the best there is so I contacted her right after Addie was born to book some fall pictures. It ended up being a really nice fall, and the day we picked was so bright and sunny, it was perfect. The girls were awesome, and the pictures turned out so beautiful. Kelsey sure knows how to make us look good!! </div>

I have probably 30 pics of Renne "skiing". Our neighbours at the lake, the Harkers, are amazing at getting children of literally any age to try water skiing, and the lent us this trainer whenever we wanted. Renne LOVED it and asked me to ski almost every day. The first time I thought she would get scared, but I guess our over-excessive cheering may have kept the fear at bay. <i>See what I did there? </i>If I'm being honest, I was ridiculously proud of her and love that she loves the water so much.</div>

Sundays are my favourite! I love getting my family all pretty and enjoying some serious quality time together at CHURCH. Plus Renne literally BEGS me for nursery, and I'm not sure why people wouldn't love going to church just so their kids can be entertained for 2 hours? Reason enough, right there!! Plus Bigfork ward is awesome, and the spirit there is really special. Sidenote: <i>isn't my hubby handsome? </i></div>

Tim kicked the ground super hard on the first day and we thought he broke his toe, but then it miraculously stopped hurting one day. But being Tim, he didn't let it stop him. Not at all actually. I started nagging him to stop and rest, because he would keep playing and literally not be able to walk afterwards, but that's why i love this guy so dang much.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This little monkey is growing up so fast! I can't believe how fast the summer flew by, and she will be 8 months in just a few weeks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At 6 months she weighed 16 lbs 8 oz and was 26'' long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My babies are apparently long? I wonder who they get that from…</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has two front bottom teeth, and got the first one literally the morning she turned 6 months. and the next one a day later. Renne was the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's been eating solid foods since 6 months, and is an awesome eater! She was a little clueless at the start and wouldn't swallow, but now she's a champ, but does have a texture preference just like her sister (and her dad). She also can't handle any lumps or small bits in her food, like Renne. She loves bath time, and when I take her out of the bath its one of the only times she cries. She has such a sweet sensitive spirit, and breaks down into a pile of tears when someone yells too loud, or when you make a mean face at her. It's the most heart breaking cry, i'm so glad I hear it rarely because it nearly brings me to tears. Addie has been sitting lots better, and started right around 6 months. She's gradually gotten more motivated to stay sitting, but loved to throw herself backwards which made it tricky for me to leave her on her own. Addison is probably the most smiley baby I have ever seen. I'm not biased or anything, but she is the best baby in the world. I can't get over how happy she is. It doesn't matter who talks to her, she just lights up and gives them the biggest grin. She is such a ray of sunshine. We are lucky she picked our family.</div>

My girls look so different!! Mini Tim and Mini Ash. I wonder if our next one will be a blend…<i>(no, i'm not pregnant, people go nuts for even the slightest hints of baby number 3, but yes, we will be having more. I may or may not already be baby hungry, but pregnancy hungry…that is something else entirely)</i></div>

Addison does look a lot like I did as a baby, and she also looks like mom and my Grandma McConnell, who passed away last year. I like to think they were together before Addie was born, because they are two peas in a pod. My grandma was always smiling and always happy, people called her "sunshine". She was the classiest woman I've ever known, so proper, very British. Even in her final days she was so sweet and kind and polite, calling the nurses "Pet" I can still hear her perfect delicious accent. I like to think Addie and her had some heart to hearts before Addie came to us. I also think she would be thrilled we chose Jayne as Addie's middle name.</div>

As evident above, i'm not awesome at taking pictures of my kids. Seriously guys, it's no cake walk. It's one thing to get a picture of a person who is sitting still, and actually <i>looking </i>at the camera, but these two smiling together, nearly impossible. So, I decided to take the girls to Sears and get some pictures. I have some pictures of Renne at this very age in a big frame that I absolutely love, and I wanted to get similar ones of Addie for my baby wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a hard time choosing which ones to post, so there's A MILLION of them. But since this blog is mostly for my journaling purposes, I think i'll leave it this way and if you happen to be reading this, just be rude and skip the pics. But you'll be missing out ;)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is almost sitting on her own, but really likes to throw herself backward on the ground, hence the pillow wall :) She loves rolling, and I quite often find her rolled into a corner, or rolled into the middle of the hard floor, just content and happily kicking away. She scares me sometimes with how mellow she is. I will find her stuck underneath furniture, and she just smiles at me without a care in the world. She lets me know when she needs something, and loves to coo at me. She especially comes alive once her sister is in bed, and she knows she has mommy and daddy to herself. We cherish our one on one time with her. Nothing is sweeter than seeing your kids interact though. Renne is loving watch Addie grow and learn new things, and she is very protective of her little sister. She will quite often come running to me and say "MOM! Addie is awake, go get her!"she can hardly wait to see her after her nap.</div>

Ok, so this is a little side-note: I am the only in my family with "Low eyes" as Tim calls them, eyes like my Dad's. My eyes are almond shaped and are very dark brown, and i've always thought they weren't as beautiful as the big blue eyes my siblings have. I remember as a young girl feeling special that I was different, but always thought my eyes were ugly. When Addie was born I immediately fell in love with her dark beautiful, piercing eyes. She was perfect. When Tim told me her eyes were just like mine, I started to cry. I hadn't even considered her beauty was from me, since her eyes are actually Hazel. It's amazing what you learn to love about yourself by loving your children. She is a gift in so many ways.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLzhA73rpuYXewDXPTBcO2mjNz5Bc7chfy7nX1U1inilrw9ZGAPC5TqycAqB7kwJdzIzvS-MUwdhVa-QTN8rQgThm1wGAElS99a8cBS-kEYc_eHKGV3dsgKQzi9Ql23mamT5e2HGX7kBq/s1600/DSC00350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLzhA73rpuYXewDXPTBcO2mjNz5Bc7chfy7nX1U1inilrw9ZGAPC5TqycAqB7kwJdzIzvS-MUwdhVa-QTN8rQgThm1wGAElS99a8cBS-kEYc_eHKGV3dsgKQzi9Ql23mamT5e2HGX7kBq/s320/DSC00350.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>

Little Addie J is almost 5 months, but here is her 4 month old post :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just some quick updates on this cutie pie:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Weighs 13 pounds, 12 oz.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is 24.8 inches long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is still in 3-6 month clothes, but filling them out more and more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a very good girl, and has been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks!! I feel amaaaaazing! It makes a huge difference in how much energy I have during the day. Thank you baby girl!! She is such a wonderful baby, I am soooo grateful she's easy going. She is such a sweet, tender little girl. She is sensitive too, and when she's sad she has the most heart breaking cry. It's so so sad. When I took her for her shots she BALLED. It was horrible. Renne always took shots like a champ, and hardly cried. But Addie was as disaster and in the waiting room afterwards, I had a few people tell me they wanted to cry with her. I usually keep it together pretty good, but I did get pretty teary eyed after ten minutes of it. Poor little girl. :( Renne was so concerned. I told her Addie's medicine hurts, but its ok, and it will help her. She kept saying "Addie, it's ok. Medicine hurts. It's ok" Those heart melting moments just don't get old.</div>

Addison is smiling all the time these days! She is so interactive now, I love it! She will start giggling when I make silly faces at her or even when I just look at her and smile. She is extremely ticklish. She laughs when I gently tickle her armpits or her neck. It's the cutest thing. </div>

She literally falls asleep anywhere! Quite often I will be putting Renne down, or helping her with something, and I leave Addie on the floor or in her bouncy seat, and i will come back and she is fast asleep, even during all of the noise and chaos, no blanket, no soother, nothing. She loves to be cuddled and I wish I had more opportunities to snuggle my little bug. i just can't even...</div>

Addison is 3 months old (2 weeks ago). Never mind how late i am…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We cannot believe how much she has grown and are trying to absorb every minute of it! I am so obsessed with this girl, she brings such joy to my life. She has been waking up more and more and smiling like crazy. She is getting so strong and just started rolling over onto her back. She is so interactive and looks around for us and will "ask" to be held. She loves to be cuddled, and I am savouring that like crazy!! She is waking up more and more, which is really fun for all of us! She loves her sleep this girl, and is usually awesome at putting herself to sleep, as long as she is wrapped up tight! She loves to say "a-goo, a-goo" in the sweetest little voice with the most to die for duck lips! </div>

Addie weighs 13 pounds 4 oz</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is 24 inches long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is wearing 3-6 month clothes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she is doing wonderful. She likes to wake up to eat normally just once a night now, and she sleeps in her crib which is great, although I miss her being next to me in the bassinet at times. I usually can't resist and have her cuddle with me in the very early mornings after Tim leaves for work. </div>

Renne is a bit overzealous with her sister at times, and Addie handles it like a champ. I love watching these two interact. I have to watch closely…The other day Renne was putting lotion on Addie's face, and she also tries to feed her food. I think she has good intentions…She just wishes Addie could be her doll, which of course terrifies me a bit when she throws her dolly into the carseat. I hear her all the time calling her dollies "Addie" and telling them "It's ok", "I got you, baby" and "NO, Addie!" haha (her favourite word lately) She plays this game where she will go into the pantry and say "Mommy, NO!!" and then she shuts the door like I'm not allowed to come in. She does it over and over haha. What the heck kid? She cracks me up.</div>

Quick parental update: Tim and I are both doing really well. Tim is working hard at work designing and constantly making improvements to old designs. They are very lucky to have him at AGI. He has a very special brain, and can see such intricate things in his head. I love him for choosing a unique career that perfectly suites his skills and brain. He chose something outside the box and I admire him for it. He keeps busy being the 11-year old scout leader, playing basketball with guys in the ward, and his has a few plans to build our deck and the girls a sandbox in the coming weeks. He is always so so helpful when he comes home, I never have to ask him to do anything. He will gladly make dinner and watch both girls for me so I can run to the store or go for a run. I'm so so lucky. I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise and I absolutely love getting into a routine with that. It feels so nice to see your body slowly come back. I keep busy being the music chairman in our ward, and am loving it! I get to choose all of the music, help people do musical numbers and work with the choir. It's really fun for me! I also have subbed a few times (I know, it's crazy) in the past few weeks, and that's been….good. I miss my girls, but the day goes super fast, and I know the girls are in wonderful hands with my mom. I'm not going to do it too much, but it's nice to make a little extra money and get into the classroom. It's just who I am. I love going into "Teacher mode". I currently can't imagine leaving my girls to take any kind of position, so subbing works great for the time being. I am loving my mommy routine that I've worked hard to sort out. We love going to library time, the park, stay and play, and the pool. We have so many little friends who live close, it's been awesome! Our ward is amazing and I've made some really awesome friends. Can't wait to have lots of fun this summer at the cabin and continue watching my girls grow. I love it more than anything. This time goes by in a flash, and I really try to savour the little moments. The moments when Renne pats me on the back and says "I burp you Mommy, it's ok" or when she hugs me after a fit and says "Sorry mommy". Or when Renne hears Addie crying and runs to her with her awesome dramatic face and says "ADDIE CRYING, I help her!" and they give each other a huge smile. 2 has been an adjustment that has really humbled me, but motherhood really does refine you and make you better. It has its defeating moments for sure, but I have seen myself stretch and grow over the past few months more than I ever have in my life. I'm praying and reading more than I ever have before. I cling to those things because, I need them in a very real way. A wise mother in Edmonton told me, "you grow immensely with each child. You can't imagine having more than what you have because, you aren't ready for it until you have to be." I try and remember this when I feel like a rookie mom. We don't all wake up one day and magically become a sane, organized mother of 4 children. It takes lots of practice, failing, and hard work to get to that point. And just because I'm not there yet, doesn't mean I won't be. I'm ranting…That's all for now. </div>

Time flies when you have 2 kids!! 2 is a big difference from 1, and I am finding it hard to find time to do the "extra" things (like blogging ;) ) I am waaaay behind, but for journaling purposes I need to get this published. It hurts my heart how much bigger she is already just looking at these pictures! </div>

Addie update: What a blessing from heaven this baby is!! She is so so easy, I can't get over it! She is so sleepy, I guess I forgot how much babies sleep, but wow this girl sleeps ALOT. I crave for her to be awake because I love to see her eyes light up. Addie is a very different baby than her sister was. She loves to be swaddled up tight, and will start to get fussy if she isn't wrapped up. She loves to just be laid down, and left to herself while she will gaze into space and just "chill" out. She is so mellow. My little sister Marin was like "Addie, sometimes I wonder if you're alive" haha. She is so peaceful and calm, and I can put her down pretty much anywhere and she will fall asleep. Some days while I'm busy with Renne, I will literally forget where Addison is because she is so quiet! I still have to wake her up to feed her. She only fusses when she needs something, and has a pretty epic pouty lip. Her lips kill me! They are always sticking out!<br />

Addison weighs around 11 pounds, and is filling out really nicely! ;) She has the best chubby cheeks! She is doing so so well. She is a champ eater, and is super quick, it's awesome! She wakes usually just once to eat during the night, and normally will sleep from 11-3, and then 3:30-7, so I am one happy mom. Renne slept through the night at 7 weeks, but I know this girl will get there eventually. I actually really love our alone time in the middle of the night. I cherish it way more than I did with Renne because I realize how quickly it passes, and I stress way less about getting enough rest. During our month of sickness, I was running on basically no sleep most days, and I had this epiphany that moms don't sleep sometimes, and<u> it's </u><i><u>ok</u>. </i>I can always, somehow, make it through the day (maybe with just a few "OH MY GOODNESS" tears). We are finally now in a great rhythm, and Addie is in a great routine. We are starting to venture to the park and the pool and library time, which is so nice for Renne. I can't wait to watch my girls grow closer as Addie gets more and more interactive. She's really started to smile, and she makes these super soft "cooing" sounds with her rounded lips. Quite the contrast to Renne's squeeeeeals! How fun to have 2 very different kids! </div>
