:rumblerumble: BOOM!!

It finally happened.
We all knew this day was coming.
It took much longer than anticipated.

Lil D
Had.
His.
First.
BLOW OUT!

I was the fortunate one (really I was) Daddy was on duty and got to change him.
I heard him yell from the other room that he needed a sleeper, and he needed it FAST!

I got out there just as he was cleaning up the nastiness that went all the way down D's legs and up his back.  And being the smart daddy he is he suggested that we give him a bath.  Yes, it was THAT bad.

And now D is cuddled up with daddy on the bed watching Open Season 2, while I get to blog and get lost on Pinterest.

She Works Hard for the Money

This past week I started a new chapter of my life.


Working Mom.


It's honestly not as hard as I thought it was going to be.
But that may also be because I was so busy fixing things back to normal I didn't have the time to miss D.


But I'm glad(?) for the change.  It gives me back some normalcy to my life.


Gives me an identity.


I just hope I don't miss out on a lot of D's firsts.
Or I at least hope my MIL will lie to me if she sees is so I can be excited about it on my own.  Ignorance is bliss right?


I just hope everything goes smoothly like it did last week.


It's getting harder and harder to live with my parents.


There's just too many people here.


All I want for my birthday is our own home.


More on that as it develops.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Ok, it's time for the cliched New Years post.
Your know the one, about how I tell you my life is so different than it was a year ago, how much I have changed and grown.

But this time, IT'S TRUE!

I still can't believe the blessings that 2011 had for myself and David. It all started one fateful evening in March. St. Patrick's Day to be exact. For a week or two before this I had been feeling sick but I chalked it up to PMS and what I was eating. Never in my mind did I think I could be pregnant. (we werent even trying and the timing in my mind wasnt right.) So I took a test that night to prove some people wrong. Guess who was the wrong one? Not me. When I told David that I had taken a test and it came back positive he was, well let's just say scared. I remember everything about that night. What I was wearing, where I took the test, how fast it came back positive, the disbelief that I felt, the need to get to urgent care and hear from the doctor that I really was pregnant buying prenatals, shaking the bag over the phone to my friend. EVERYTHING.

The pregnancy for the most part was easy, it wasn't until the delivery that we had any complications.

I can't believe that I have been a wife for over a year now either. God has definitely used marriage to teach me more about patience than I ever thought he could. I love my husband and we have our disagreements like everyone else does, but now I can't leave and go to my own house to cool off. It's his house too so we have to work it out and communicate more than we did when we each had our own space. And being pregnant that first year, talk about coach course in patience and communication.

Being a mom has taught me that my capacity to love is far greater than I ever thought it cold or would be. I always knew that I would die for my child's but no one ever really knows what that love feels like until they have a child of their own.

I hope that as 2012 goes on that I will continue to learn about patience and love. How to be a great wife and mother.

I'm looking forward to so much this year. My lil D will have so many firsts and expierenceing them will be nothing short of amazing I just know it.
