Bad Blogger!

I keep getting on here checking everyone else's blog but didnt realize I haven't blogged in a while. Not a whole lot going on these days. Finally graduated- WOO HOO!! Sink hole remains a sink hole! Brody is doing AMAZING, he is laughing and smiling.

Lil man's smile is amazing. No matter how bad my day is going he can smile and it will completely turn my day around.

Looking at this face, who couldn't smile!?!

Also recently I got a new camera that I am IN LOVE with. I spent my weekend taking pictures and editing them. I am by far no pro but I enjoy the hobby and wanted to share my fav from this weekend.

This weekend I also saw a commercial about the medicine little man is on. It was one of those commercials where attorneys want you to call them if you are taking this particular medicine. Well what do you know the commercial was about the medicine he is taking. I freaked and told hubby. We tossed his medicine out and said that we would call the doctor on Monday. So I called the doctor today, the nurse explained the me that there are complications with all medicine. I know this! But my problem is these side effects are more serious than "may cause dizziness". She comforted me that the doctor wouldn't give her babies anything that was dangerous, and I know that I trust my doctor. But again I worry. She also told me that the hospitals NICU are still using this medicine daily and that should offer more comfort. So I am not sure what to do because not giving him the medicine this weekend I can tell a big difference and I can see he is in pain without it. I asked if there was an alternate medicine and she said there wasnt anything else on the market at this time that does the same thing. So what do I do!?!? I plan on talking to hubby about it but it has to be the most difficult decision ever. I dont want to see my baby in pain now, but at the same time I dont want to give him a medicine that may hurt him in the long run if he will just grow out of this acid reflux condition. I wish someone could just make the decision for me and it be the best thing for him! Being a mommy is tough, but I still LOVE IT! :)

We are done! :)

I thought the day would never come that I could say "I am a college graduate" but I can now! I am officially done with school and I cannot believe the relief I feel. Hubby has worked on this for 8 years and I have worked on it for 5, geez what are we going to do with our free time!?! We are going to spend it on vacations and family events with our lil man. Since he has gotten here, our days fly so fast. We want to make sure we provide the very best for him and now that we do not have to worry about school and homework it is going to be easier to do that. I look forward to the trips and events we plan to do with lil man.

This saturday at 11:00 we will make it official. Also this weekend will be my first mother's day. I cannot believe that either, I have been celebrating mother's day my entire life but this year is so different. I get to be the mother this time, and I look forward to a life time of many more.

Tonight my hubby and I are going on a date. We have dinner planned and then going to the Carrie Underwood. I'm excited because this will be only our second concert together. And I dont think hubby has been to many concerts before.

Almost a month old!

WOW, where does the time go? Everyone says when you have children time flies, but I had no idea. Since my last post we had my lil man! It is funny to go back and read my last blog entry because I had no clue that I would go to the hospital that night and have my baby. After the last post hubby took me to Southwood to walk. He said we would walk until lil man came. So we walked for an hour and half, three miles! We went home. Once we got home we talked about going to get Five Guys Burgers for dinner. But when we got in the car I told hubby that he was taking me to the hospital because I was hurting, not thinking anything about it. Because we had been to triage two times before and they just sent me home I thought it would happen again and we could go get dinner after the released me. Got hooked up to the monitors and they told me my blood pressure was 158/110, they were keeping me and going to start pitocin to induce my labor! I couldn't believe it. 26 hours of labor later, my baby boy was born via c-section. What a miracle!

Since he has been born our life has changed dramatically. He is our world NO DOUBT! We have worked our tails off to get all of our homework done before he arrived but we had a few assignments left to do. With the school work and adjusting to Brody being here our life seems like it has been in over drive this past month. But we are finally done with school this coming up week and it is time to enjoy life...FINALLY! We are so blessed and so excited to have him here now it is time to make his life the very best we can and I can't wait!

It's my Due Date!

Due Date...what a JOKE!!! I really think they should not call it that. Gives expecting mothers such hope...and then the day comes and NOTHING :( So I am here on my "due date" and I feel the same as I have for the past few weeks. I really do not think Brody is ready, I have just prepared him this perfect little living environment and he doesn't have any reason to leave it. I surely hope though that he would make a move on his own before the doctors want to. Supposedly if I am not in active labor by this Thursdays appt then they are going to want to medically induce...which TERRIFIES me. I understand their reasoning that the babies can actually get sick if they stay too long, but I just wanted mother nature to do her thing. Ya know!?! I knew this week would be very long and I would be counting down the seconds so I prepared many sewing projects to keep me busy. My list includes: camo bibs for lil man, a purse for me, a purse for momma, a camo onesie for lil man, little mittins, and hubby added a camp pillow to the list last night! :)

I have finished the first two. What ya think? I am pretty proud because this time a month ago I couldn't even get my bobbin to bob....haha you know what I mean it wasn't working (you can tell I am no pro I dont even know the proper terms!)

Is he here yet!?!

I am getting more and more anxious waiting for lil man to come. Every time I have a pain or uncomfortable feeling I'm like "this is it Tee" and then it goes away. haha I feel like the little boy who called wolf, but I dont mean to. I have been trying not to focus on his arrival but it is hard because I am also trying REALLY hard to not focus on the "hole". And honestly, the most important thing to me right now is lil man's arrival so not thinking about it is near impossible!

I am getting excited though because Easter is coming up, which is one of my favortie holidays because of the meaning, the spring weather and this year it is my sister's birthday!! I have this gut feeling lil man will wait until then to come...we shall see :) The weather is starting to be AMAZING which makes the bed rest thing even more difficult but soon it will all be over and I will be out with my lil man in this AMZING weather. Going to the park, walking in the evenings, making day trips to the beach, taking short weekend trips to a beach camp ground, ahhhh I'm so excited!!!

As far as the schooling, we are ALMOST DONE!! YAYA!!!!! I thought this day would never come. We are in our last 3 classes and have completed a good majority of the work and have applied for grad...it is May 8th!

Hope the next post title will be "HE IS HERE!" haha :)
