After months of waiting my husband Jim finally got his Massage Therapist and Myofascial Release Therapist License. It is finally the end of one journey and the beginning of another.

Now he will be practicing Myofascial Release therapy and Massage Therapy at Pioneer Comprehensive Medical on Fridays so far. Hopefully after his fill up his Friday schedule he will get more days to do it. 

Here is his Ad

A lot of people know what Massage therapy does but not everyone is familiar with Myofascial Release Therapy (well including myself, I am just starting to get it). 

When I ask Jim what is the difference between Massage and Myofascial Release, one of his answers finally made sense. Shortly speaking Massage forces your muscles to relax and you do feel good after a session but after a a couple of days the muscles go back to what they were before - tense.

  During Myofacsial Release session your muscles are not forced to relax they are gently pulled to allow fascia to freely flow, which makes tense muscles relax naturally. That is just one of the many benefits of this therapy. I won't go on about it more. Jim is revising his web site and putting more information about his practice. I will have to post the address to it when it is done.

My Poor baby...

Due to Mom's profession and the need of practice gets my poor baby in bowls, baskets, trunks every kind of photography prop I can think of every week-end it seems. I still have a hammack to put together and try it out.

Now that I have my own newborn he ends up being a guinney pig for my new ideas, poor kid.

 I have knitted this hat and a cocoon myself. I am not a very good knitter, I have a lot to learn from my Mother in Law and sister in law, but this one I made myself.

 

 

 

Fun with 3

So, here I am almost stay at home Mom with 3 kids. I never thought I would find myself being a Mom of three so soon, but it is challenging and fascinating at the same time. It is like having the Best and the Worst of the both worlds. Sometimes I am amazed at how well I do and sometimes I go crazy.

I am enjoying every minute with my new baby. I don't want him to grow fast and want him to stay this little just for a little bit longer. I love when he snuggles to my shoulder and curls up close to me. I LOVE it, LOVE it!
In the middle of the night I try to explain to my hubby how much I am in love with this baby and can't fully express my thoughts. Then Jim tells me : " I love you ". Sometimes I loose myself in this baby and really need to remember to express my love to my husband and other kids as well.

Anyways, it has been nice to be home more and to have Jim home these past two Saturdays. Jim has fixed a ton of stuff in the house and made me very happy by doing so. We finally got a chance to do some more pictures of Quinn. Still not all of my ideas but some. So here they are:

New Arrival

We have been waiting for a long time for this baby to come ( I think I will always be that forever prego woman on the street) for Baby Quinn to join our family. It has been such a blessing to have this little angel in our home. I keep starring at him and thinking how sweet, soft and cuddly he is.

Shortly speaking labor and delivery went well, after they broke my waters nothing happened, then 10 min after they gave me petocin it had started for good. An hour and a half later we had a baby boy. I know, shortly speaking, without details, it may sound that having babies is a piece of cake for me, but we (women) all know that it is a lot harder then it sounds, let's leave it at that.

Tasia mothering Quinn, AJ- ignoring him

Imagine that, It has been a week and I have not done a session for my own newborn. These are just some that I managed to shoot while my mom was here.

Baby Shower

This Last Saturday I was checking my mail and found a couple of cute Baby Shower invitations and thought, "Cool, I get to go to a baby shower". Just when I was reading the rest of the invitation where it mentioned "helping Olya to prepare...  Little Quinn should be..." it hit me it was for me.

It was a total surprise!!! Thanks Leah and Audra, you guys are the BEST!!! Now I am all set with Diapers and Wipes.

Some of us from the Party, I always forget to take pictures before people leave

Audra ...... Audra.... our baby hungry girl, Quinn is definitely going to recognize  her after he arrives

Being prego is not an easy thing, but I feel so special with all the friends  and family around who are as excited about you and the baby as you are!!! It makes it all worth it.

Summer Fun Never Ends

I am trying to catch up with posting, life is just too fast! We, as always, are having a ton of fun this summer. I think I got so tired of winter that I am trying to get the most of this summer that I can.

Let's see, what did we do last week?: 

We went to Temple Square,

the aquarium,

a swim party,

Idaho, 

Thanksgiving Point(next on my editing list),

and today we were home getting ready for baby Quinn. I was thinking since the due date is tomorrow I should get the kid's bed set up or something. Now it is done!!! He can come any time he would like and hopefully he won't follow his brother's footsteps of sitting in my womb for 2 extra weeks.

 

Tasia got a cute Ukrainian Shirt from grandma Lidiya

One picture would not be enough of it

Cherry Hills

It has been an incredibly busy summer, but I won't have it any other way. We have been busy doing a ton of fun stuff with my Mom. I absolutely love having her here. I get spoiled with sleeping in, having a healthy lunch and dinner cooked for me every day. Recently I got a pedicure and a shopping spree from my Mom. It feels so good to be pampered ones in a while. I also need to make a post of all the cool things she brought us from Ukraine when i get a minute.

Last week we went to Cherry Hills with my neighbor and her kids. My brother in law won us a couple of tickets so it was nice not to pay a ton of money for it too.

We had a ton of fun. Kids loves it, My Mom had a blast on the slide too.
