My sweet baby Drew is One!

My sweet baby boy turned one yesterday. It is amazing how fast this last year has gone, and yes everyone says that but it really is true. It feels like just yesterday I was awake all night and feeding him all day. I am not going to lie, brand new baby was not my favorite stage in Andrews life. I was tired all the time, alone all day. Giving so much and receiving nothing but poop and crying.  Dont get me wrong, I loved my little snuggle bug, but life was hard. Those first few months were the longest, I dont really think I had postpartum. but I cried a lot.  As he got older, and started smiling and cooing things got better; now I love (almost) every minute with my little monster.  He has such a happy disposition, he sleeps like a champ, is hardly every grumpy, loves his mama and daddy, and pretty much everyone else. He might not have been planned, but he sure is my greatest gift.

Here are a few pictures over the last year.

    Oh good, I'm glad to know someone else felt the way I feel. I feel like all I ever do is feed him. But congrats Court! He is adorable and I can't believe it has been a year either.

    It will get better! The first few months were so hard for me, but when he started responding and smiling it was all better :) Your little bug is too cute! I loved reading about your birth stroy, sounds so peaceful and wonderful. I am happy it turned out like you planned, most dont! ;)

A day with Drewby

I find I am forgetting to document what Andrew is up too, and that I am forgetting when he starting doing something new. So here I go documenting away; mom brain is a very real ailment! At your 15-month well baby you weighed 26.3 lbs and were 31.5 inches long. Your eyes are still blue, but getting more green/grey everyday. You have been waking up at about 5:30 despite me stretching bed time back an hour. I dont go get you till 630-7 though. We get up with the sun baby boy! So you might as well sleep! ;) Then we have a cuddle with some milk watching Mickey Mouse Club House. Your favorite part is the hot dog song.  You are starting to get picky about what you eat. You used to eat whatever I gave you, now there are things you wont eat at all. Silly babe :) Your favorite foods are cheese, milk, goldfish, turkey dogs, chicken nuggets, mandarin oranges, grapes,   animal crackers, jammy sammys, and fruit snacks. You refuse to eat pasta, sauce or no sauce you won...

Let the count down begin

It feels like we just did it, and yet here it is again. So far so good, but he's only been gone a few days so I really don't deserve a pat on the back yet. Last time I was so sad that first week, like I would cry randomly, a lot. This time not so much. I don't know if it is because I am no longer a "boot" wife,  and I've been here before. I feel as used to the distance as one can in this situation.  Time will tell :) . The thing about it is, I will probably look back at this post in a few weeks and be like, what the *** was I thinking, this SUCKS haha but right now we are rockin' it. It probably helps that I got a facetime date with J. That was awesome, last time around we didn't the whole 7 months and this time around we did only a few days in, I hope that continues! :) Sometimes I think about how our life would be different if I worked too. I think about all the "things" we could have and wonder if I should; especially on days were andrew...

Insanity....

Tomorrow starts insanity...the workout program. Some girlfriends and I are starting tomorrow and I am really excited to finally have some workout buddies! I seriously have work to do, like 30 lbs of work. Now don't you DARE say anything like "no you don't" or ,"oh my gosh there's no way you have that much to lose", because I am telling you there is. If i want a healthy, fit body I need to lose 30lbs of FAT. No joke. This is serious. Joel leaves for WTI on Sunday for 8 weeks, and I am giving myself those 8 weeks to lose 20 lbs. I know I can do it, I just need to DO IT! Yes I am motivated and this WILL HAPPEN! :)
