Momma's First Girl's Night ...

The girls in my family on my mom's side do a birfday dinner for each girl's birfday.  Last night was my first one post baby.  It was my Silly's (Sister-in-law for any new readers) birfday and she chose this cute little pizza place by her house where it's BYOB and a giant (and I mean GIANT) slice of pizza costs $3.00.  Awesome for this formula and Pampers buying momma.  Here are a few pictures from the night.  I still have a bit of a chipmunk face but it's slowly going down.  Two more weeks and I can start for REAL working out again training for another 1/2 marathon and get myself a trainer!  Woot woot!





It was nice to get out but I'm not going to lie, I couldn't wait to get home to this guy ...

Multi-tasking ...

This is how a momma gets to take a shower ...




Yep.  He's in his bouncy seat.  On the floor.  In our bathroom.  Poor Koda had to sit this one out outside of the bathroom door.  I love my pup lovin' on his little brother but I don't so much love my pup licking his little brother's face after licking his own private areas.  That's where I draw the line.

Happy weekend all!  Try and get some extra sleep for me and the Mister!

Premature Apology ...

Because this is going to be SUCH a proud mommy post.  And by "proud" I mean "I think everything my son does is adorable, even ridiculous things like blinking his eyes" post.  I'm pretty sure this will only be amusing to myself, the Mister, little man's grandparents, Ginny, who is one of my best friends that lives in Taiwan and is one of C's honorary aunts and possibly those of you that are so bored at work your eyes have started to cross.  So, if you fit any of those categories of people, here's what we've been doing today ...




Please excuse my ridiculous baby speak.  It can't be stopped believe me, I've tried.  And his mommy's giant arm.  It's not the best camera angle.

Man I love this little guy.

Big Brother ...

A lot of you have asked how Koda is doing in his new role as big brother.  Well, I thought I'd show you ...


{First meeting after Koda came home from staying at his Memaw and Pepaw's house while we were in the hospital.}

{Koda in his "it's a boy" bandana.}

{All my boys, snugglin'.} 

{I actually caught a smile.  Priceless.}


And there you have it.  He loves him.  He sleeps next to his pack and play and sniffs him anytime he gets the chance.  And I love it.  My sweet sweet boys.

Contrary to Popular Belief ...

I AM alive!  HELLO all my sweet SWEET readers!  I am SO sorry for the hiatus, however I'm sure you understand we've been a LITTLE busy :0)  So, I guess it's safe to say you are all new fans of the Mister.  I'm a lucky girl aren't I?  And let me tell you I never realized how lucky I was until we experienced what the Mister described for you in the last post.  I have never.  In my life.  Felt so loved, cared for, safe and supported by a single person like I did having my husband by my side through the birth of our son.  I will say that I fell in love with my husband all over again and even more so than I ever thought possible during and after this experience.  To have a man watch you go through all that a c-section involves (and I will leave out all the details but all you mommas that have been through it know what I'm talking about, let's just say all modesty goes out the window and there's a lot of you, your husband and a random nurse with constant crotch and giant white hiney exposure) as well as the road to recovery after all the while trying to figure out how to do this "new momma thing" and tell you you are beautiful and how incredible he thinks you are while continuely uplifting and encouraging is a blessing beyond measure.  And God has blessed me beyond measure.  In so many ways. 

I could go on and on in regards to the awesomeness that is my husband but I will stop because I'm probably embarassing him.  Plus I want to get on to what you all want to see.  And what is that?  PICTURES!  I will start with pictures from the big day.  The day we met our little 6 lb 14 oz bundle of darling joy.  The day I experienced a love like I would never understand until it happened to me.  People tell you "You don't know what love is until you see your child." and you can't understand that until you do just that.  Until you see him.  And hear his precious cry.  And see the face that you've waited 9 months to see.  It's an immediate, overwhelming, terrifying love that overtakes you with such force that you know you would slay a bear to protect them, walk through fire to get to them and do anything within your power to keep them from ever having their heart broken or being hurt by anyone in their life.  And I know this feeling will last for the rest of my life and thank the Lord for the blessing that is our son.

So, onto the pictures.  I have a lot to catch you up on so like I said, here are the ones from the day our lives were forever changed.  November 5, 2010.
