life as i know it is forever changed by the child.

So once again 2 AM and i am awake,this time i'm not looking at birthday things, I am thinking back to where we have come in the last two yeasr almost. My life has been forever changed by Olivia, I'm sure you all are wondering where all this comes from, my best friend is pregnant and due is september with her first child and i've been dishing out what advice i can, but how can you tell someone how much their world is about to be rocked. There is no prepping for that, I know i have said this before, but i never knew love like this was possible..... peace

mommy 101

 So you and I both know that there are a ton of books out there telling you how to be a mommy, how to raise your child so they turn out one way or another. I'm sure that they have alot of great information, but after i read all of those pregnancy books and they about scared me to death, i think i would prefer to figure out how to do things by trial and error! Now with saying that, how do you stop your child from spitting out food and dropping it on the floor to feed the dog? I'm sure over time there were be many more questions to ask......

Where did my baby go

So it's 2 AM and i have no good reason for being up other then the fact that i'm looking at 1st birthday idea's. In the past year our lives have changed for the best, but I can't believe that it has been a year! It seems like just yesterday i was doing anything and everything to get this little girl to come. Wow time flies when your having fun. Olivia now has five teeth and is on the verge of walking and jabbering like crazy! Matt and I have been blessed with a baby that sleeps any time you lay her down and a baby that is content to play alone and go anywhere mommy needs to go! We have been blessed with amazing families who fight over who gets to keep her on saturday nights,who provide clothes (that are amazing, she is a fashionista at 11 months because of my mom) and who is the favorite grandparent. Friends that love olivia almost as much as we do and strangers who think she is the next gerber baby! To say the least we are blessed beyond what we deserve. Being parents have taught Matt and I leasons that we could not have learned any other way, about love, life and right and wrong, just to name a few! I love Matt more now then I ever have in our nine years. He has given me the best gift a women could ask for! To be a mom and a wife, and although I am still working on being a housewife, i really enjoy my days spent with olivia(even the bad ones) I look forward to what the years hold for us! More to come on the past year with olivia and what being a mom has taught me!
