<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://wifewithoutborders.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><i>Wife Without Borders!</i></a> <i>Cajuns in California</i> and <i>The Nomadic Wife</i> put up a pretty good fight, but Wife Without Borders took a solid lead as the ballots starting coming in. Thanks for all of you who took a moment to cast your vote and give me feedback. I'm possibly the most indecisive person on the planet so your input really helped to make this choice a bit easier. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'll be blogging <a href="http://wifewithoutborders.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">there</a> effective immediately, and would love for you to hop on over and continue to follow along with us on this crazy adventure of ours. I'll be letting y'all know about all the relocation details like the flight over, house hunting, car buying, jet-lag conquering, and our general repatriating experience over the next few weeks. Plus, you've got a 4 month guest post coming from Mr. Forest and you know you don't want to miss that!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your support and viewership of <i>The Aberdeen Wife</i> has been flattering and humbling. I feel like hanging my hat up here is sort of the final goodbye to our Scottish chapter. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's very sad but at the same time we are over the moon to have a chance to explore Northern California for a bit. </span></span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve moved around a lot in my life. Since being born I’ve
lived in 3 countries, 3 states, and 9 different cities. Compared to some, that’s
not much, but compared to most, it’s a whole heck of a lot. Most of the time, I
feed off of the change of scenery, the fresh start, the sense of adventure and
the excitement of meeting new faces and exploring new places. But for some
reason, this particular move had me feeling negative and anxious; worried,
stressed, and a tad resentful. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It had me questioning this lifestyle and whether
or not it was worth it. Wouldn’t it be easier just to move back to South Louisiana?
To attend LSU sporting events on the weekends? To take Forest to Mardi Gras
parades? To have our parents and siblings and BFFs nearby? To raise our son in
one place? To give him a sense of home? To raise him up in our own culture
surrounded by people who share our heritage, history and values? The answer is yes. Yes, it would
absolutely be <i>easier</i>, in every single sense. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the moving process, I
couldn’t let go of the disappointment that we were taking yet another assignment
outside of Louisiana. I couldn’t shake the reality that our next assignment after this
is unlikely to be in LA either. In fact, I had to face the fact that we might not
raise Forest in Louisiana at all. And it shook me up. It broke my heart. I
resisted and rebelled and closed myself off from getting even the teensiest bit
excited about moving to San Ramon. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bless his heart, Jonathan has been so
supportive. He took care of most of the logistics when I claimed I had too much
going on with Forest to help out. He went house hunting by himself and had patience
with me when I criticized the house he chose for us. He researched the cars we should get and
haggled with dealers while I focused on getting Forest on track and getting him
over this stinkin jet lag. I griped and complained and grumbled under my breath
about living out of suitcase and leaving my friends behind and living so far
from my parents. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally Jonathan reached his breaking point and called me out.
He told me to snap out of it, accept the situation and move on. I cried and
griped and grumbled some more, but in my heart I knew he was 100% right. I wasn’t
being myself. I wasn’t being the woman he married, who promised to support him
and trust him and follow him to the ends of the earth. I was going through the
motions, sure, but I wasn’t really participating anymore. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a trailing spouse,
it can feel that way sometimes- like you are an after thought; just along for
the ride. Your wants and needs are second class citizens to his much more
important career trajectory. But I signed up for this. For all of it. For
raising my kids as nomads. For never having other LSU fans to watch the games
with. For moving every 2 years. For investing myself in temporary homes and
transient friends. For the pros AND the cons. For the excitement AND the grief.
For the rewards AND the sacrifices. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I went for a run this morning, and heard

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It reminded me to trust that the Lord
is opening doors for our family. That He is bringing us exactly where we need
to be. That He is refining me. That He has a purpose for me. That for such a small and quiet person, I have the opportunity to live
quite a big life. And that’s a blessing AND a curse. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But through it all, He is
there with me. He’s putting people and places into my life that will help to
refine me and bring me closer to Him. And hopefully, as I come in contact with
people in these different cities, I can have some sort of positive impact that
will spread the infectious joy of Jesus and provide encouragement for others. </span></span></div>

cars, got my new cell phone set up and made a bank-breaking visit to Target. I
promise to give you the details on all of the above just as soon as I get this

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So I've been feeling a little bit blog-lonely on Wednesday's now that Bump Days and Forest's weekly birthday posts aren't a regular feature. I've decided to start a new weekly tradition where I 'dump' all of my phone photos that I've taken throughout the week onto the blog so that y'all can see a bit of what our daily lives are like. I'm calling it 'Dump Day'. Super clever, I know. Forest has recently really started to be interested in watching TV. I bring him in the room with me sometimes when I'm pumping and he just stares, entranced at the screen. His favorite shows are <i>The Bachelor, Raising Hope</i>, and <i>Ellen.</i> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">All 'the books' say that a 3-4 month old baby should never be awake more than 2 hours straight or else they will have a complete meltdown. This is a picture I took of Forest after being awake 2 hours. Does he look tired to you?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been living here for nearly two years, and I never knew Hazlehead Park had a maze and a putt putt course until I took an alternate route last week. Forest and I started doing the maze but then I had visions of that scary scene from The Shining and decided not to venture into a maze by myself on a dreary winter day. Luckily, the next day was pretty nice so I met my friend Christa and her baby girl for a stroll and we explored the maze together. We got totally lost and I started to get more visions of The Shining, but Christa used her sense of direction to retrace our steps back out. </span></span> </div>

I've been parking him in the sunshine outside so I can be with the pups in the back garden while he naps. </span></span><br />

very frequently. Which excuse do you want? 3 month old baby or international
move preparation? I’ve actually started a few posts in the past week but when I
was editing them they just read so negatively that I opted not to publish them.
Jonathan called me out on what a complainer I’ve become recently, and I’m
feeling pretty convicted. And yet….I just can’t stop doing it. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every morning I
say to myself, ‘Alright Laine, no complaining today.’ I can maybe make it 2 or
3 hours before the griping begins. In my defense, they say having a baby and
moving are two of the most stressful things you’ll ever do. An international
move with a new baby just adds an entirely different element to the stress
factor. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So for now, my thoughts are kind
of skewing negatively. I’m kind of overwhelmed. Kind of sad. Kind of
ambivalent. Kind of not looking forward to jet-lagging babies and temporary
housing and living without the bulk of our possessions for at least 6 weeks.
But like it or not, in 2 weeks, we are getting on a plane with as many things
as we can carry and moving to California. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">TWO WEEKS! I’ve never been so excited
and heartbroken and terrified all at the same time. I got a tad emotional on
Forest’s and my stroll yesterday as I thought ‘I only have 2 Tuesdays left’. I
feel like every day I'm starting the process of saying my goodbyes. Who knows how
many walks in Hazlehead Park that I have left? </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It seems very <b><i>quantifiable</i></b>
at this point, if that makes any sense. One more mahjong Friday. One more AWA
meeting. How many more times will I see each of my friends? How many
months/years after the move until I see them again? </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But then at the same time I
think: Geeze I can’t wait to get to a place where I don’t have to pay for
parking everywhere I go. Where I can take a sunny day for granted. Where I can one-stop-shop at Target for all of
my grocery/fashion/homegoods/childcare/pet/entertainment needs. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s a
balancing act, and I feel like part of my defense mechanism any time we move is
to focus on the negative aspects of what I’m leaving behind and idealizing what
I’m moving towards. But the thing is, we’ve played this game enough to know how
hard it is to leave a place behind, especially one you really have no reason to return to. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s not like we’re leaving our hometown and plan to visit for holidays. We are
leaving Aberdeen in a very finite way. Not to say that we’ll never be back to
visit or even to live one day, but there is such a transient community here
that I’d doubt we’d recognize many faces if we did. Sort of like when you
return to your old college campus after years away and realize you don’t know
any of the students. Realize that your time has passed and life has marched on
without you. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We lived in Midland for 2.5
years, but once we packed up our house and drove away, we’ve never returned. I
still have people living there that I consider dear friends, but when I’ll see
them again, only time will tell. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That’s a sad fact, but it’s true. Because of
the nature of Jonathan’s work, it’s likely we’ll intersect with many of our
Aberdonian friends back in Houston one day, and I look forward to that reunion.
When you’re an expat, your friends quickly become family, and it hurts my heart
so much to think of leaving them behind. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But that’s how the story goes and I am
excited to think about all the new friends I will meet in this new place and
time. And it’s exciting to address Christmas cards to friends spread out all
over the world and know that no matter what continent we visit, I don’t have to
stretch too far to find a couch to crash on
(figuratively speaking. My couch crashing days are WAY over). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s a great
big world, but it seems significantly smaller after this experience. Each time
we move we get a little stronger, a little braver, and a lot smarter. We
re-establish the most important things in life which is mainly just getting
through it together, leaning on God for strength and peace, and keeping in
touch with those we left behind. </span></span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Living so far from family can make getting a break from the
baby pretty difficult. We've been taking turns staying in with Forest while the other has a chance to get out and socialize, but we have been missing getting out as a couple. Not that we need breaks from our little angel, but in
our 8 childless years, we got quite accustomed to date nights and are determined
to continue our romantic relationship despite becoming parents. This means we
have to recruit friends and baby-sitters to watch the little man so that we can
go out on the town. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last Friday was Jonathan’s company’s annual Burns’ Supper
festivities and we were determined to go. We got a great babysitter referral
from some trusted friends and decided to bite the bullet. I wrote out a novel
of directions for how to care for our 3 month baby, which I’m sure was quite
patronizing to her with her wealth of experience, but she was a very good sport
about it. So we left her to put our love child to sleep while we dressed in our
finest and headed out to enjoy a Scottish cultural experience. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just think men look so
handsome in kilts and wish he could pull this look off in the States. <span> </span>I thought of custom ordering him a kilt in his
family’s tartan but they are crazy expensive and I just can’t see him wearing
one to a formal occasion stateside. He did say that the outfit was surprisingly
warm and during the dancing part of the evening he got quite overheated. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was
most excited about the Ceilidh dancing which is like the Scottish version of square dancing. It was super
complicated and fast-paced and my baby brain in addition to the two glasses of
champagne I had made it almost impossible to follow. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Luckily my friend Diane
was super sharp and would whisper directions to me as we went along. It brought
me back to my 4-year old tap dancing days where I would just look at the girl
next to me and copy whatever she did rather than learning the steps. (Yea, I was way better at soccer and
softball than dancing!) It was also quite a work out for this out-of-shape momma.
Here is some footage of Ceilidh from YouTube to give you an idea.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We knew little man was likely to wake up pretty early, so we ducked out
around 11 pm in order to capitalize on sleep. The sitter swears Forest was an angel, and I believe her because
we didn’t hear a peep out of him until 7:45 AM! He had mercy on his poor
partying parents. I’d call it a successful outing, and it also got us over our
fear of leaving Forest with a sitter which I think is important when you don’t
have family nearby to recruit for these occasions. <span> </span><span> </span></span></span><br />

Alexander. Today Forest is 3 months old and weighing in at an impressive 13.2
pounds, which means he’s bigger than 26% of his peers. He’s been playing catch-up
since his birth and is leap-frogging those other babies left and right. In addition to eating and gaining weight like
a boss, here is Forest to tell you a little bit more about his developing
interests (and dis-interests). </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hiya folks. It’s really great to be back here as a guest
blogger. This Scottish weather is the pits and lately mom and I have been going
stir crazy in the house. There is only so much tummy time that will keep a man’s
mind occupied, you know? I’m glad I have this blog as an outlet for all this mental
energy I have stored up. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I guess y’all have heard that I’ll be moving to
California soon. I hear there is a thing called sunshine there. After spending
my first 3 months living in Scotland, I’m not sure what this ‘sunshine’ is
exactly, but it sounds glorious. I’m
sure it will be on my ‘likes’ list soon, but for now, here are the things that
I’ve actually experienced in my 3 months of life that have made the cut. </span></span></div>

tummy time and all, but sometimes I want to give back-time some love too. When
that happens I just flip right on over. I’ve technically been doing this since
I was 7 weeks old, which is pretty advanced. According to my mom, this makes me
the smartest baby in the universe. When she told the doctor about this little
skill at my 8 week check-up, he totally thought she was crazy. But me and my
mom, we knew the truth. But it’s like I always say: Haters gonna hate.</span></span></div>

only has 28 days, should his 4 month birthday be the 28<sup>th</sup> of

and I generally just stare blankly at them with a dumbstruck look on my face. With Forest
being so young, I still feel like I’m a bit in crisis mode. The word ‘schedule’
in my mind only refers to his next feeding or naptime. Planning an
international move a month in the future just seems incredibly daunting. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">February 26:
At 6 AM we take off for San Francisco, via Paris. Because it’s a super long
flight, Jon’s company is flying us business class. This includes a ticket for
little Forest which just tickles me to no end. His first flight will be in
style! Our little frequent flier will have quite an unrealistic introduction
into world travel. We will arrive in San Ramon that afternoon and hit the ground running the next morning. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first order of business when we land is to
square away car purchases and a house. I think I’ve decided on a Toyota Highlander for myself though
I will also probably give the GMC Acadia a test drive as well. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We already have
a realtor who has been sending us listings. We’ve decided to rent rather than buy since our
stint in California is estimated to be under 2 years. My priority is finding a
place with a great outdoor space. One of the huge draws of California is the
great weather, so I definitely want to capitalize on that, especially after being in Scotland for two years. Bring on the sun! There are also tons
of nature reserves and parks with running trails that I would love to have easy
access to, so neighborhood location is a big factor too. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But real estate in San
Ramon is EXPENSIVE so we will just see what we can find in our price range. Well, that’s the jist of our moving 'schedule' so far. Wish us luck!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Today marks one year since my PawPaw Lee passed away rather unexpectedly. Two weeks after his funeral, I found out I was pregnant with Forest. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After 3 years of praying for a baby, I don't think the timing was coincidental. Maybe it's cheesy or sentimental, but I have this image of my PawPaw hand delivering my prayer to God. And though this year brought about the passing of my family's patriarch, it also brought the birth of two new lads to our family. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is likely the last of
our weekly posts, since I feel like after 12 weeks, baby age is mostly referred to
in terms of months. At 12 weeks ,we are definitely seeing the light at the end
of the tunnel. Parenting is much more rewarding now that Forest is interacting
with us. He is just the most smiley, giggly, cuddly, adorable baby. <span>If we ever are crazy enough to have another baby, I think we will adopt a 3 month old. That newborn stuff is super hard!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Naptimes are still our biggest struggle, but
he continues to sleep well at night, so it’s a balancing act. I try not to
compare him to all those babies who sleep well during the day AND the night,
and just be grateful for those 8 hours of sleep that I’m getting on a pretty consistent
basis. Hallelujah! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">And as far as naptimes go, technically he <i>is</i> napping. I’m
still baffled by the Baby Wise and Baby Whisperer notions that his naps should
last 1.5-2 hours at a time. Jonathan and I have a theory about ‘The Nap Barrier’.
If little man can make it past 45-50 minutes, he has surpassed this barrier and
will usually nap until 2-2.5 hours. <span> </span>Right around 45 minutes, we grab the monitor
and cross our fingers that he’ll break through the nap ceiling. However, 45
minutes seems to be a normal sleep cycle for him and once he wakes up, even
slightly, it’s hard for him to fall back asleep. I try to give him 10 minutes
to see if he can drift back off, and about 1 in every 10 naps, he will.
Otherwise, we get up for some play time and I feed him a bit earlier than originally
planned. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The biggest change recently is that he’s generally happy, and almost always consolable if he isn't. If he wakes up from a
45 minute nap and is full of giggles and smiles, I usually just get him up. I
let him have some quiet time on his sheep skin rug to kick around, roll over, suck
on his hands, stare at his stuffed animals, whatever keeps him content. He’s
pretty easily amused these days. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Generally, he’ll give me 20-30 minutes after a
nap before he gets fussy so I can still work on laundry, dishes, blogging, etc
and he’s pleased as punch just to observe the world around him. Such a pleasant change
from his newborn days of: if he was awake, he was crying. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Big developments this
last week were the mastering of rolling over (from tummy to back) and finding
his fingers to suck on. Sucking on their fingers is a major self-soothing
mechanism for babies, and it usually means the swaddling days are coming to an
end. Contrary to popular belief, you want your baby to be a thumb sucker! It
saves you from having to pop their paci back in every time they lose it. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was
going to go to the weekly clinic to have him weighed this morning but it is
pouring rain so Jonathan took the car to work. There is rain on the forecast
for the forseeable future, which makes me eager for the days of California
sunshine. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nana and Poppa (aka Jonathan’s parents) flew back to the
States early Saturday morning. We’re very thankful that they made the long trek
across the Atlantic to see us. Their travelling to Scotland didn’t go so smoothly
as a late take-off from Newark led to them missing their connection in Paris. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jonathan booked their trip across, and as most international travelers know,
both Newark and Paris are to be avoided whenever possible. I asked him if he was
trying to haze his parents as a form of European traveler initiation, but he swears it was just the best deal he could find. To make matters worse, Jon’s mom’s luggage didn’t arrive until 2 days after they got
here. Welcome to world travel! I’ll be kind of glad once we get to California
and our travels mainly consist of road trips, or at the very least, direct
flights. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anyhoo, alls well that ends well, and they made it to Aberdeen safe
and sound. They had a great trip, enhanced by some decent January weather, and
got to see and experience several of our favorite things in Aberdeenshire. First
stop was of course the dramatic and enigmatic Dunottar Castle. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stonehaven’s own ‘The Bay’ is rated the best fish
and chips in the whole UK, but Jon and I both prefer The Marine Hotel and take all of our out of town guests there. We first visited the pub when were out-of-towners
ourselves, thanks to my parents’ awesome tour guide skills. <span> </span> </span></span></div>

less than thrilled about the windy weather conditions at Dunottar but still
cooperated for a good 20 minutes in the elements. During his first restaurant experience,
he snoozed for the entire meal until it was time for his own lunch. </span></span></div>

a lot of great things this country has to offer. <span> </span>It was good for us, as well, to try on our 'traveling with a baby' training-wheels. Forest did remarkably well during our

into quite the content and adaptable baby. I hope he continues to enjoy being

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am officially a trendsetter. Among my friends in the
‘Deen, 5 of them are now pregnant with their first babies. There is definitely
something in the water. I feel like a total pioneer to be the first of us to have a
baby. You know, because I am the first woman ever in the history of the world
to ever become a mother…..But it can feel that way when your inner circle is largely
made up of foot-loose and fancy-free ‘singlets’. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ll likely get to meet 2 of
the little ones before we move, but the other three won’t arrive until after
we’ve left for California. It makes me really sad! But I’m so glad that they
will all have each other to go through this experience with. The next little
one is due February 1, and we had a shower for mom-to-be, Kit, this past
weekend. It was a great time with some lovely ladies, and I’m glad Jonathan
offered to babysit so I could enjoy the festivities. <span> </span></span></span></div>

just a celebratory time all around. I bet the palpable baby fever will result
in a few more pregnancies popping up before the end of the year! C’mon Jill,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Things with Forest have markedly improved over the last 10
days or so. Last week was the first week where he showed any predictability in
terms of behavior. He’s succumbing to naptime pretty consistently, even though
what he and I consider a ‘long-enough’ nap differs considerably. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">His nighttime
sleep, while inconsistent, is generally between 8.5 and 10.5 hours. I know that
as the mother of an 11 week old baby, I am blessed with a rare gift to have a
baby who sleeps through the night already. He’s always been an all-star in terms of nighttime sleep
and for that I am super grateful and proud. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We finally had his tongue tie
snipped last Thursday and I feel like I can tell a difference in his latch
quality. The pediatrician who did the procedure mentioned that it might even clear
up some of his colic since babies with a tongue tie tend to swallow more air as
they eat and therefore have major tummy issues. I’m not sure if it’s
coincidental, but he has been less fussy as of late. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In fact, as we have gotten
some of his health issues worked out, he is turning into quite the happy baby. He’s generous with the smiles and is quite a little flirt already. Morning
times are his happiest times and he will just smile and giggle at everything I
say, making me feel like the most charmingly brilliant woman alive (even though
all I’m doing is making up words that rhyme with ‘poop’). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He’s just so hyper-alert that
he can’t seem to close his eyes if there is anything interesting to look at. It’s
crazy but Jonathan and I actually have to shield his eyes with our hand to get
him to nod off, otherwise they would stay glued open despite his drowsiness. I think
that’s why he naps so well in his stroller and car seat, because his igloo-sack
has a hood that covers his eyes. I’m not sure what we’ll do when we move to California
and no longer need to tote him around in a down-comforter! </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Life with a
baby continues to have it’s ups and downs. Some days are really really good and
some days are really really…not so good. I’ve touched on the fact that Forest
has colic but until last week I didn’t really comprehend what a universal
nightmare that is. I thought I was just a weenie and mentally and emotionally unprepared
for parenthood. Well I’ve been doing some research and, apparently, no one is
mentally or emotionally prepared to handle a baby who cries for hours on end
for no obvious reason and resists every attempt you make to calm them down. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
made me feel better to get some information on coping and it normalized and
validated my ambivalence towards Forest. I love him and he makes my heart swell
with pride and joy but sometimes I just want him to STOP CRYING! On Sunday
night, I spent four hours rocking this baby whilst simultaneously ‘shushing’
him, and it made not one bit of difference. In the end, I think I cried more
than he did. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I let myself off the hook with the whole ‘sleep
training’ thing, things have (ironically) been going a bit more smoothly. He usually naps
after every feed. Mostly these naps last between 30-45 minutes, and the
majority of time he will take one 1.5-2.5 hour long nap per day, usually in his
swing or stroller. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m not gonna tell y’all how long he sleeps at night,
because after I bragged about his 8 hour nights last week, he decided to revert
back to 4/5/6 hour nights. I’ll just say that the past 3 nights have been
heavenly and I’m crossing my fingers that they continue. I will also say that
as of this moment, I am a believer in Baby Wise. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We’ve been having a fairly mild
winter by Scottish standards. Still, we’ve had persistent rain and crazy strong
winds which make getting out with Forest a bit daunting. Ever since he was
born, I’ve been wanting to take him on one of the Forest walks which inspired
his name. Last Sunday, after a solid 8 hours of sleep, the sun was shining and
Jonathan and I decided to capitalize on our rare sense of energy and the rare
blue skies to take him to one of the nearby forests for a hike. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">A friend of mine who takes her baby girl hiking with them
recommended we get this carrier for our frequent outings, so I was itching to
try it in this capacity. Well, he loved it! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">After 15 minutes he passed out and
so we decided to do a double loop and he snoozed for a good 30 minutes while we
enjoyed the fresh air and gorgeous morning. We are excited that he reacted so
positively because in our final months in Aberdeen and for the next 2 years in
Northern California, we will be wanting to get out and explore the beautiful
scenery. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Plus, my in-laws are coming for a visit next week and I’d love to show
them around some of the local castles and such. I plan on popping Forest in
the Ergo and lugging him with us. Maybe we will even take them on a Forest walk
so that they fully understand why we lovingly chose this name for their first
grandchild.</span></span><br />

since we moved to Aberdeen and it appears we’ve worn out our welcome. Jonathan
has been asked to relocate for his job, so as of March I will no longer be ‘The
Aberdeen Wife’. We will be trading the overcast winter skies of Scotland for
the year-round sunshine of Northern California. San Ramon to be exact; a valley-town
tucked away in the outskirts of San Francisco. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">To say that I will miss
Scotland is a complete understatement. I can’t even go there right now. I’m too
emotional. So my mantra has been: “Target. Whole Foods. Wendy’s. Warm weather.
Pinot Noir. Direct Flight to New Orleans.” I’m trying to focus on the things I
am excited about with re-patriating, and there are certainly plenty of pros to
balance out the cons. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I plan on continuing to blog throughout this next chapter
of our lives, though obviously ‘The Aberdeen Wife’ is no longer a suitable
title for our adventures, and ‘The San Ramon Wife’ just doesn’t sound quite as
snazzy. Any suggestions? What about ‘The Moves- Every-Two-Years Wife’? </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s
definitely an exciting and adventurous nomadic life we lead, but it has its
downfalls. I feel like I’m constantly homesick, yet for where, I can’t quite
pin point. Home is at once so many places and yet at the same time, nowhere at
all. </span></span><br />

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year everybody! This year’s celebration was a tad
different in our household. New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays. I
love the anticipation, the resolutions, and that special midnight kiss.
However, this year, I loved sleep more. Midnight is a time in which little man
is almost surely sleeping which means momma and daddy were too (that is, until the fireworks started). But I hope
wherever you were, you had a fantastic time! Next year I’m hopeful I’ll have
the energy to stay up til midnight, but who knows. That kinda energy might be a
few years off just yet. </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lots has happened in the past week. Forest was
diagnosed with reflux and prescribed daily medicine to ease his suffering. It
seems to be making a slight difference, but he’s still his hyper-alert,
non-napping self, just with a bit less spit up. Also, he seems to be a bit more
cooperative on the napping front in the morning and late afternoon. From noon
to 5 though…forget it! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But the biggest thing I want to brag about is the 8
hours of consecutive sleep he’s been getting at night, which I would trade for
daytime naps any day. It’s not fool proof but more often than not, he’s clocking
about an 8 hour shift each night. Total, he gets about 10.5/11 hours of sleep
between the hours of 8 PM and 8 AM, which is helping to inch his daily sleep totals
closer to the recommended amount. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We still have a terrible night thrown into
the mix every once in a while, which is almost harder now that I remember what
7 hours of consecutive sleep feels like. It’s so hard to backslide, but I’ve
heard that’s pretty common around this time. We are hopeful that he is on track
to consistently sleep through the night. He did so 5 out of 7 nights last week so I'd say that's pretty amazing!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With every week, they are supposedly
capable of sleeping one additional hour (6 week olds can sleep 6 hours, 7 week
olds- 7 hours, etc) until they reach 12 weeks (3 months) which is when many
babies start sleeping straight on through without that pesky middle of the
night feeding. That’s why everyone says things improve after 3 months. I
believe it. On Saturday night I got 7 hours of sleep followed by an hour long
nap and I finally felt like a human again! </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Baby boy got his first round of
immunizations yesterday. He had one oral vaccine and two shots and he handled
it like a champ. I’m not opposed to Tylenol in such situations and I think it
helped to take the edge off. He screamed for about a minute, and then whimpered
for about 2 or 3 more before settling down and falling asleep on the car ride
home. It wasn’t nearly as traumatic as I feared, though he did have a bit of a
meltdown a few hours later. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He’ll have his next round in a month
from now, and then his third and final first year immunizations in February.
They don’t do the chicken pox vaccine in Scotland, so we’ll probably be getting
that when we return to the states. He aced his 8-week well-check physical exam
and got a check mark next to all of his milestones. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One big milestone that has been developing is his 'talking'. Baby boy babbles all day long. It's kind of nice that he can communicate that he's not happy without screaming at the top of his lungs. Here's a little clip of him chattering away during tummy time. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He is currently weighing in
at 10 lbs, 15 oz and coming in right at the 25% percentile for size of babies
his age. That’s up from the 9% percentile from when he was born so he has
covered a lot of ground in his first 9 weeks. Here are his 9 week pictures: </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hiya. It's great to be featured here at <i>The Aberdeen Wife</i>. My mom wants me to tell y'all a bit about my likes and dislikes, and since she's so generous with the milk, I guess I'll oblige her. There isn’t much that I like 100% of the time. I’m sure my
momma has already told y’all that I’m
pretty persnickety. But most of the time, these are things that I kinda sorta
like: </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-Bathtime. Never met a bath I didn’t like. It’s being taken out of the
bath that gets my goat. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">– When my mom makes up silly rhymes. Especially when
she says: “Super-Duper-Pooper-Scooper”. Hilarious. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">– Car rides…sometimes. My mom doesn’t want me
to tell you this, but she’s become one of those desperate parents who takes the
long way home just so I get a good nap in. The other day I heard her ask my
daddy if he’d take me for a car ride so that she could take a nap. I’m soooo
gonna tell ‘The Baby Whisperer’ on her. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">- Stroller rides…sometimes. It’s pretty
cold in Scotland and sometimes my mom bundles me up too much and sometimes not
enough. Sometimes she gets it just right and I sit back and enjoy the bumpy
ride. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">-Mainly naptime. Whenever my mom or dad dim the lights and I
see that that swaddle blanket come out, I start hollering. You can sleep when
you’re dead, you know? I’m here to play until I’m so tired that all I want to
do is scream and scream and scream. Sometimes naps are ok, as long as they
happen in my momma’s lap. But for some reason, she thinks she has better things
to do or something, because as soon as I start to fall asleep she puts me in my
bed. Not cool, mom. Not cool. I let her know just how ‘not cool’ this is by
instantaneously screaming for the next 2 hours or so while she hilariously
keeps trying to get me to fall back asleep. No way, woman. You had your chance. </span></span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">– The Baby Whisperer. Apparently she put it into my momma’s head that I am
supposed to take a nap after every meal. And apparently naps in the car seat or
the stroller don’t count so my mom keeps insisting on trying to get me to nap
in my bed. You wanna know her success rate? About 1 in 40 naptimes. Hahahaha. </span></span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">–
Baby Wise. See above. Hahahahaha. (Although, I am sleeping 8 hours at night so
I guess the joke is on me.) </span></span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">– My puppy sister, Bailey. Sometimes I give in to
naptime. I’m like ‘Okay, okay, mom. I’ve lost the will to fight and I guess I
am kinda tired now that you mention it.’ And almost as soon as I drift off,
that mutt starts making a bunch of ruckus and wakes me right back up. And this
makes me ANGRY. It apparently makes my momma real angry as well. She keeps
threatening to take Bailey to the pound, which is a bit harsh. I mean, I didn’t
even really want to nap that much anyway…</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well that’s about all my likes and
dislikes. After all, I’m only 2 months old and my world consists of eating,
pooping, and occasionally (like once or twice a week) taking a good nap. I
haven’t developed any hard core hobbies or anything yet. I get my first round
of shots tomorrow. From what I hear, those will probably be going on my ‘dislike’
list pretty soon... </span></span><br />

they took us to this photogenic lookout point on the foothills of the Grampian
mountains. It’s got a great scenic backdrop and a rustic painted Scottish flag
making it the perfect photo op for tourists passing by. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On Christmas morning, the sun was shining so we decided to capitalize

hope that we’re able to take Forest on many more Scottish adventures, though I
will say that weather is way more of a factor now that we have a baby in tow.
This winter has been pretty mild, but then out of nowhere, all of a sudden this
will happen….</span></span></span></div>

little guy and risk the elements. Jon's parents will be visiting in two weeks, and while their trip is mostly about meeting their grandson, I'd still like to show them around Scotland a bit. Hopefully both Forest and the weather will cooperate for some day trips around the area to tour some castles, distilleries, forests and such. Keep your fingers crossed! </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy birthday Jesus! And also, happy 8 week birthday to
Forest. Our 8<sup>th</sup> week was a bit of an improvement over the past 2
weeks. His naptime routine is still a struggle, but nighttime sleep is starting
to fall into a pattern. Jonathan puts him to bed around 8, I wake him up to eat
again at 10, put him right back to bed and he sleeps around 5.5-6.5 hours until
around 4, I feed him again and he’ll generally sleep until around 8. It’s not
sleeping through the night, and there are definitely some nights where he doesn’t
quite cooperate, but it’s nice to have some sort of confidence that a good
night’s sleep (i.e. 6-7 hours of disjointed sleep) is ahead of me. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreso it’s
the light at the end of the tunnel that makes me think that one day this baby
is going to sleep long chunks at night, and each day we are getting closer to
that goal. The other night he even slept until 5:15, nearly 7 hours straight! This week we are planning
to make the transition to the crib for nighttime sleep, and once we have that
down, we will start moving him there for naps as well. Wish us luck! </span></span></div>

great angle for projectile vomiting all over our glider (and his momma’s back).

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">He slept like a champ which allowed us to have some adult
time together for the first time since he was born. We did run into some
difficulty in getting him back to sleep once we got home, and again in the
middle of the night. Naptime this morning wasn’t pleasant either, and this
afternoon took a bit of defying Babywise and letting him sleep in my arms to
get him back on track (I didn’t mind the snuggles). </span></span></div>

laugh until I peed my pants (partly because I’m still lacking total bladder

at our house was a bit lame. Our BOB stroller is occupying the space where our
tree would go, so we skipped the Christmas decorating this year. Also, I’m far
too logical of a person to wrap gifts for a human who has no capability of
opening them, so Forest didn’t get any traditional gifts from us this year. We
bought him a North Face fleece onsie for outdoor excursions and a children’s

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We plan on going all out next year, I promise. But
this year it just sort of snuck up on us and when I finally had the energy to get
into the spirit we were 2 days away and it just didn’t seem worth it anymore.
Luckily our friends and family have given and sent plenty of gifts for Forest
for his first Christmas. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Next year we are determined to spend the holiday with
family. Of our 6 Christmases as a married couple, we’ve spent half of them away
from family. The worst was our first Christmas in Midland when Jon was on the
rig and I was all by my lonesome. Plus, my DVR broke so I didn’t even have TV
to watch. And I was sick. It was the worst! <span> </span> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tonight we spent Christmas dinner at
our friends Liz and Greg’s house. Forest was not so cooperative tonight so we turned in early. Cross your fingers that his night-time sleep doesn't suffer! His parents are super tired and could use some quality rest. </span></span></div>

Christmas surrounded by people you love! Here are Forest’s 8 week photos: </span></span></div>

I hope it is full of joy, fellowship, laughter, festivities, restoration and the Holy Spirit. We will be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with our fellow displaced Americans here in the 'Deen. If I have to be away from my extended family, there is no one else I'd rather spend the holiday with. We are oh so lucky to have such great companions to share Forest's first Christmas with. </span></span><br />
