Better Together: October 2014
http://koryandmandymereness.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. Mini Pumpkin (Ultrasound today showed him weighing 8 lbs 11 oz, give or take 1/2 lb). I have very little clothing that fits at this point. Stretchy pajama pants and Kory's t-shirts are my friends. Compared to pre-pregnancy days, it's awful. Compared to life with a newborn, I am probably sleeping pretty well. :). I miss when things like putting on pants, getting out of a car, or turning over in bed were quick and pain-free. Anything making you queasy or sick:. My orthodontist was...

Blessed Is Me: October 2014
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. 10 Years Later And The One Who Took A Chance On Me. And a business name people struggle to say. Last month marked 10 years that I have owned Salon Boheme with The Farmer. He is my mostly silent partner. It's perfectly imperfect just like me! It started way back in 6th grade. With a big dream. It was a great place to start. Debi is just one of those people you are drawn to. I couldn't believe it.

Better Together: November 2014
http://koryandmandymereness.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 20, 2014. Well, it's been just over two weeks now since Peter made his appearance into this world and I am finally getting around to writing his birth story. I mainly want to document this so I can remember it later, but I also really love reading other women's birth stories so I wanted to share mine as well. And everyone was tied up with them so we just got put in a room and we watched TV for about two hours while we waited for someone to come check us in and get things going.

Blessed Is Me: I Love 4h and County Fair
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2015/08/i-love-county-fair.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Sunday, August 2, 2015. I Love 4h and County Fair. We just wrapped up Clatsop County Fair 2015. It was wonderful, exhausting, emotional, exciting and dirty. My car is a disaster inside and out. I am sure there is enough hay, alfalfa and straw inside of it to make an entire bale. It smells terrible inside and it appears to be brown on the outside instead of grey. We woke up early at the fair and went to bed late at the fair.

Blessed Is Me: What I Have Learned After 20 Years Being A Hairdresser
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-i-have-learned-after-20-years.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Sunday, December 21, 2014. What I Have Learned After 20 Years Being A Hairdresser. I can't believe it has already been 20 years! I am one of the lucky few who knew at a young age. What I wanted to be when I grew up. It didn't turn out to be what I expected. I thought I would just be cutting and coloring hair. That's it and nothing more. Being good at cutting and coloring hair doesn't make you a good hairdresser. Lies don't...

Better Together: February 2015
http://koryandmandymereness.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 7, 2015. 11 lbs. 14 oz. I don't know when babies officially stop being a newborn and become an infant, but I'd say Peter's there. He is still squishy and cuddly, but he's changing and developing so many new skills every day that it's hard to keep up. He's recently discovered some weird blobs on the end of his legs (his feet) and he spends a great deal of time studying those every day. Speaking of sleep, this guy is sleeping through the night on a regular basis now! Our trip and his ill...

Better Together: June 2015
http://koryandmandymereness.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 6, 2015. He's wearing 6 month clothing and is growing out of a fair amount of his 3-6 month onesies and pants. He doesn't actually have a lot of 6-9 month clothing so I need to hit up our second-hand kids clothing store pretty soon and get him some summer onesies. And making some of her baby food recipes. Of course, he was only fussy when we were at home. He's still SO social and extraverted and loves to be around groups of people. I had a hard time convincing anyone that he had be...These...

Blessed Is Me: I Will Always Wonder Who You Would Have Been..
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-will-always-wonder-who-you-would-have.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Thursday, May 14, 2015. I Will Always Wonder Who You Would Have Been. So much time has passed that I don't even remember the day. I can only remember the deafening silence as the ultrasound tech rubbed her wand over my belly and the feeling of hot tears rolling down my face as the doctor guided the needle into my swollen belly drawing out 3 tablespoon of amniotic fluid. Will my baby that I want so much have Trisomy 18.

Blessed Is Me: Christmas Presence
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-presence.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. It's only the 24th of December and we have logged 4 Christmas celebrations. What a busy couple days. More food than we could ever eat. Mounds of wrapping paper and empty boxes. Hearts wrapped in love. We celebrated with our kids this morning before The Farmer headed off for the tractor store where he had to work a few hours. It isn't wrapped in shiny paper or topped with a pretty bow. Their ar...

Blessed Is Me: January 2015
http://blessed-is-me.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. When Depression Steals Everything. Everyone has an opinion on it. You just need to buck up". How is your walk with The Lord". Why don't you just stop being sad". You don't ever look sad". What do YOU have to be sad about". What you NEED to do is.". Don't say any of that. If those words are on your tongue, bite it. Depression is real and it kills. It isn't always sadness. It made its way throughou...
