Need a doctor recommendation....

I'm having some serious "girl" issues the past couple of months...I thought things would maybe get themselves back to normal but I think I might need to see a doctor. I really refuse to go back to the doctor I went to when I was pregnant with Brynlee... I need some recommendations of doctors in Utah...preferably Utah county or close by like Riverton, sandy, etc...I don't really want to have to go to Salt Lake. Please help...I need to make an appointment asap! Thanks everyone!!! :)

My New Hair!

I finally did it!! I've been toying with the idea of hair extensions for a very long time now...and after recent days of Joe trying to convince me even more I went ahead and did it this week!! I've been trying to grow my hair back out long for 2 years now!! Has it grown? Yeah sure I'm sure it has...has it grown long in 2 years?? HECK NO!!! My hair is dumb and grows SO slow! I'm pretty excited to have long hair again, except for the fact that I've never had this much hair on my head EVER!! My hair is so fine and so thin and I feel like I have 5lbs. of hair pulling on my head!! Not the most pleasant feeling right now...in a couple of days it won't hurt anymore and I will love them even more! So yes if you see me I had short hair...yes the long hair is not mine....yes they are extensions!! lol Oh and yes, sorry to all those who like me better as a blonde(ahem my husband), I think it's going to be awhile before I ever go back! I am enjoying being a brunette and not having regrowth ever 3 weeks!! :) I plan to keep these babies in until my hair grows longer and I may keep them in even still becuase I am LOVING having thick, luscious hair!! Darn those people who have that kind of hair naturally! I really hate you!! ;) Anyways....What do ya think?? Do ya like??

My Little Walking Baby!

I finally got around to posting one of the little videos of Brynlee walking...she is much better than this now...this was a few days ago. I swear everyday she walks more and more and farther and farther! And yes...my child is still bald as can be!! lol! She has this little tuft of hair that sticks straight up on the top of her head and she looks just like alfalfa!! The other day I stuck a little clip in what little hair she has! It looked so funny I had to take a picture!! She has this HUGE head and this little tiny clip!! haha!! Anyways...just wanted to share the video and the silly pictures!

A Little Update....

Lately I haven't been sleeping much...I lay awake thinking of all the things I need to do. I've never been to the doctor and been diagnosed with "anxiety" but I know I have it and I really need to figure out a way to control my mind at night!! lol I live off diet pepsi through the day to stay awake and lay awake all night long...dang this head of mine!! I kept telling myself once I moved into our new house I could just rest and relax....not the case! I still find myself running here and there, the garage still needing unpacked, and the house (in my mind) needing to be perfectly decorated the way I have pictured it for months!! :) I really really really love our new house!! I will post pictures soon. I've been a decorating fool and this has consumed my life since we moved it. The house is beautiful and I am so grateful we were able to buy such a wonderful place! We are truly blessed right now! The only problem....everything was SO BEIGE!!!! Not that beige is bad, because it isn't. But I NEED some color in my life!! I've been taking one room at a time and painting, decorating, re-finishing furniture, working on crafty projects left and right!! It's been so much fun. I've been loving every minute!! I'm not at all an interior decorator, and really have no idea what I'm doing...but it will have to work for now!! Of course I could go crazy and spend tons and tons of money on all this stuff I want...but, since I can't, I am finding ways to make it cute on a budget!! :) Along with all the house stuff the front and back yard are in need of serious weeding and TLC. How do I do this with a busy body 10month old?? I don't...thus the yards are still a mess!! And you may ask, where is Joe during all of this, why can't he help? He helps when he can...right now he is working 10 hour nights 7 days a week for a little while. He is crazy! Again to that sleep problem...now I have anxiety about him being gone at night. I sleep with the gun under his pillow. You better believe if anyone comes through my door they may not live to see tomorrow!! haha!! Then at 5 in the morning a get a call from my oh so tired husband who needs me to talk to him for 45 minutes while he drives home so he doesn't fall asleep at the wheel. I would rather not sleep and be a zombie myself than have him not make it home and be a single mom forever...I can't even imagine that!! Anyways...life is always crazy, I just embrace it and drink another diet pepsi!! haha!!
One another note...I have been LOVING watching Brynlee grow up. I can't believe she is going to be 1 in less than two months!!! She took her very first steps on Sunday to her Grandpa Murphy! It was adorable!! Her and her Grandpa have had a bond from day one. He would go to the NICU and just hold her for hours and rock her in the rocking chair. He is an amazing man. One a really look up to, and one I am SO glad my husband has genes from!!
It's funny to see the relationships she has with different people she loves all her grandparents...she definitely is the queen of the house when she is at my parents house. What she says goes and she plays so hard when she comes home from there I think she gets bored here... :) She absolutely ADORES my little sister Madison. If Madison is around Brynlee is her little shadow. She hears her voice and just smiles and laughs. Madison is the best little babysitter too! I trust her 100% with Brynlee which is hard for me to do..lol I love that she has such great people in her life and I only hope she brings them as much joy as she brings us!
Last night while eating dinner at a restaurant with my best friend! I discovered she knew how to drink from a straw!! It's weird enough to be feeding her foods I am eating, but drinking through a straw??? I know this sounds dumb but I couldn't get over it!! I had this reality check of oh my gosh...she is starting to walk, she is starting to eat "grown up" food, and she drinks through a straw!!!! haha!! She is such a big girl!! She isn't my little baby anymore than is for sure! She is little Miss Independent!! Gosh it makes me baby hungry though!!! What is wrong with me??? I'm crazy I know!! It's the lack of sleep is what I tell myself!! :) Anyways...now that I've rambled my way through this entire post and jumped from one subject to another I will get on my merry way and get some things done around her and try to not wake Joe up...I feel really weird like I can't go shower or get ready in my room because I'll wake him up...Darn this new schedule, I really am not loving it!! Oh well...we will survive...we always do! :)
