Sorry busy being a mommy!

My baby boy is happy and healthy! He is now 7 months old. He has started eating soilds. He went on his first real vacation. All the way in the car to Las Vegas! We only had to make 2 stops! Tonight, his father and I are convinced he said I love you! Also a friend thinks he said the word Robot on video. I am very blessed.  I thank g-d every single day for our miracle baby boy! Our baby boy already has his two bottom teeth in. We are enjoying every day. I hope you all have a wonderful day. I am sorry that I have not been able to write as much as I would like.

Running errands with a 3 month old in tow.

Today was the day for running errands. I was running around from 10:30 AM until almost 5:00 PM. Let's just say starting off that my son was NOT a happy camper at first. He was crying his little head off. He does not like getting buckled in. He does not understand Mommy is doing this for his own good and not to make him unhappy. After I finally got him in the car. Figured out my first location with directions. My son finally fell asleep. I was lucky to pick up a ottoman with a storage area for only $5. I do LOVE a deal. Then I was off to my hair appointment. I made it right on time! I love being on time. I don't like keeping people waiting. I know that time is money to someone with a job. Another one of my friends works at the same salon. She was so very sweet and got my son a cute frog blanket. She knows I love frogs and most of the items he owns has a frog theme. He loves it already. It is so soft and cute. The great new is that my sweet son slept for about 3 hours. I was in shock. He let me get my hair done and have lunch! He did wake up crying for a diaper/wardrobe change. Then he wanted to be nursed. It worked out very well since my friend and hairdresser had another person come in at that time. Once the nursing was done. I was all ready to get my hair washed out and cut. I decided this time to put some dark pink in my hair. I might be 40 years old, but I don't feel it and have been told I don't look my age. That I look to be in my early to mid thirties. I needed a change with my hair. I was looking a bit to mommyish. I know it will take awhile to get my body back. I am not in a rush. I just needed a bit of a pick me up. When I got home, Jeff was there to greet me. He was lucky enough to get off of work early. So hopefully we will have a nice relaxing fourth of July weekend. A time to celebrate and enjoy being a family. Have a wonderful fourth of July everyone!

What Motherhood means to me.

A lot has happened since the last time I wrote on my blog. I found out I was pregnant. I am not sure who I was more shocked. Jeff or myself. I remember running out of the  bathroom holding the stick with the two pink lines. Yelling and crying at Jeff. "You're going to be a Daddy!" I think you could of probably seen the color drain from his face. We had a failed IVF a few years earlier. The doctor told us, my eggs were not very good. So the chances of us getting pregnant were not great. Our son was breech for about 80% of my pregnancy. In many ways I think he was supposed to be. I have never been able to handle pain well. My water broke the day before my C-Section was planned. So I had an emergency C-Section. I still remember crying, freaking out at Jeff when my water broke all over the floor of our tiny apartment. Jeff got me to the hospital in about 3 minutes and 20 seconds. The amount of time it takes for the light to change. One advantage of living down the hill from the hospital! I still remember both of us crying when we heard our sons first cry.
Fast forward and now I am the very proud and happy mother of a three month old baby boy! To say that I am over the moon about him is an understatement. I probably drive all my friends on Facebook nuts with all my videos and pictures. I probably take about 30 pictures and 2 videos a day. I don't post all 30 pictures, maybe I post 10 lol. I love looking into my son's eyes and watching them light up when he sees me. I love making up songs and watching him coo or say aww. I love reading to him and singing.  Jeff and I are still together. He is an amazing father. My dad was not sure if Jeff was going to be a great father. Jeff is amazing. Our baby boy is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my whole life. He is so expressive! You would never think of a three month old to be an old soul but I really think he is. I never thought I would be ok with poop and spit up but I am ok with that. I am lucky I have not had to deal with vomit yet. If that happens, I will probably throw a towel over it and wait for Jeff to get home.
Jeff and I are still not married. I am not sure if we ever will get married. All I know is that he loves me, loves our miracle baby boy and is happy with the way things are now. I love my life and would not change it for anything in the world. As I have always been told, you make plans god laughs. I did not plan to get pregnant with my son. All I know is that at 40 years old. I am taking every single minute and cherishing it. I know how lucky and blessed I am. Not everyone gets to be a parent. So if you don't mind me sharing stories in the future about Jeff, myself and our miracle baby boy. I hope you will start reading my blog again if you did in the past. Or if you are new to my blog, welcome and Thank you.
