Mommy Monday - Food!

We've been working through purees for a few weeks now, but I thought I'd give my little monkey some real meat to see whether he'd be interested. HOLY SMOKES! The kid's a carnivore for sure! He was all over the strip of pork chop and even tried to hide if from me when I attempted to take it away to feed more sweet potato purees.

Mommy Monday - Baptism

Our beautiful boy had his Baptism yesterday. He, and the other 2 babies, were such troopers in the hot and humid church through a fairly long sermon. There was no sympathy crying, but we did have some sympathy rasberrrying started by our little monkey. Nothing like a big pffbbbtttt in the middle of Luke somethingorother.

The humidity killed my hair. Such nice curls gone flat. Boo.

Mommy Monday

I've been working on getting my shit together. Now that I feel like we're into a daily routine, I felt I needed to get the house under control as well. Don't get me wrong, we're not living in a pig sty, but clutter is easily piled up and it stresses me out. I'm a packrat by nature and I believe Hubs is as well and the two of us enable each other and it's not pretty. Add a 5-almost-6 year old and a department store's worth of baby gear to the mix and it's a freaking disaster.



Despite doing my best to tidy up after the baby and keep the 5-almost-6 year old in check, I can't mother my own husband. That's just not sexy. So in an attempt to regain control of the house, I'm taking some tips from other mamas and doing a load of laundry a day and 1 chore. This is definitely helping me to feel productive even when I don't want to be or just can't.



I'm well on my way to Mother of the Year (snort).

Mommy Monday

I celebrated my first Mother's Day this weekend. I can't believe almost a year ago now, I found out I was going to BE a Mom! I was nervous, excited, naive....Then as the awful 9 months of pregnancy went by, I got to know the little bean kicking and squirming inside me. I was anticipating his birth day, but didn't think he'd ever come out. His birth was traumatic for me and ended in an emergency c-section and the little guy screamed bloody murder when he was pulled out. I cried tears of relief, happiness, and to relieve stress.



As much as I always wanted to be a mom, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance. It's been a trying 3 months so far, but I love him more than I thought I could ever love anyone in this world and he's made me so happy. To have a little being look up at me with unconditional love (unless he's hungry and mad I'm not providing dinosh fast enough) melts my heart.


Here I am with my little man at 2.5 weeks old.

Mommy Monday

I've been a mom since February 4, 2010. The scariest and happiest day of my life! I can't believe my little monster will be 3 months tomorrow.

He's going through the 3 month growth spurt and I'm going through the 3 month aging process. I'm sure with the shedding hairs post-pregnancy, the others are secretly turning gray. Fingers crossed, he'll go back to sleeping through most of the night and will give me a bit more than 3 hours between feeds. On a good note, he's napping more during the day which means mama gets to have some "me" time.
