Bobbing Along

Plunging back into the insanity of work, combined with the stress of searching for Cora care in April and trying to find time to hang out with my family and visit with Kathryn and her ADORABLE little Clara (who were awesome and visited us last week!), these past couple of weeks have been really tough to find balance. I feel like I'm barely bobbing along trying to stay afloat and I'm just exhausted!  I'm sad too because I don't feel like I get to spend as much quality time with my little midget, but we are all doing our best and Nat and his parents are helping out as much as possible too, thank goodness.  

Continuing in our path of chaos, this weekend we are going to SLC for a ski getaway with a bunch of friends and I can't be more excited!  While Nat has circumnavigated the world multiple times since Cora popped out, I've only ventured as far as Boise and Twin Falls so I'm dying to get away, find some fresh powder and enjoy some good laughs with an amazing group of people!  Cora is going to be so stoked for her first ski weekend and she'll get to meet a new boyfriend for the first time, Mr. Webb Bristow!!

Since I've written last, Miss Cora recently weighed in at 9'12 and is 23 inches long! She's still in the 1% of smallness, but she's growing at the correct rate, so we are not worried anymore.  She just might be tall and skinny her whole life, until she discovers cheese, wine and bread, that is :) Because she is getting a terrible skin rash from her leads, last night Cora spent her first night cordless since before we hooked her up to The Machine way back in November.  I don't think I slept much at all and was up constantly poking her to make sure she was still breathing.  I know she is probably just fine and is old enough and strong enough not to choke on her tongue anymore while she sleeps, but not having her on The Machine kind of freaks me out.  I'm hoping it will get easier ....

Last weekend Kathryn and little Clara (who is almost two and is so, so cute and good) came to visit and we had so much fun!! It was quite a trip for a two-year-old but I think she had a really fun time swimming at the Y and running around playing with Tanner and the baby.  I LOVED seeing Kathryn, and really wish we lived closer! 

Here are a few fun photos from the last couple of weeks:
