The Joys of Life

Yesterday we went to see the Thorn at New Life and it was amazing! I think I am amazed at the story each time I see the Thorn. It always makes me remember what I am thankful for and what I believe. I would recommend anyone go see this play believers and non believers because those who believe will remember why and those of you who don't believe this may make you believe.

My Little girl is 3 months tomorrow and I can hardly believe it. It is hard to believe it was Christmas three months ago and I was huge and I remember thinking little baby can you please come. Little did I know the contractions I was having the next morning were going to turn into labor!! It was such an amazing experience, and I was really lucky! It is hard to imagine life without my little muchkin! Officially today she is now wearing size 2 and it is hard to believe she once wore NB size! I am so amazed how fast they go.
But our schedule at her 3 month mark is:
6:30am she wakes up and I feed her and she goes back to bed until 8:30am
7:30am I wake up and get ready for work
8:30 - 9:00am Ava will wake up and I will feed her before I head to work
Then depending on the day Josh or Grammie Tami will either watch her or I will take her to work
3:00pm I get off work and head home to hang with Ava
5:00pm she goes down for a quick name so I can cook dinner
then between like 6:00 and 8:00 we have tummy time we read to her and just hang with the baby
9:00pm she gets a bottle with rice cereal and we put her to bed...and yes she will sleep until 6:30am!!

That is a day of our life...and it is a lot of fun! I love watching her grow up each day! She is so sweet! I was looking at all of her newborn outfits and I can't believe she was once that small. It was funny because before she was born I was sitting there looking at the same outfits thinking I can't believe my little one will fit into this!!

Here are some pictures of me on Christmas...don't mind my puffy face! You can totally tell I was ready to have this baby here!

Looking back I still can't believe how big I was! I was 41 inches around at my belly button!!

March Madness

I have never really understood the Madness that this brings until yesterday when Kansas lost. I had such a good bracket going too, I had picked a lot of underdog teams and they actually won. My bracket took a huge hit when Villanova and Kansas lost yesterday! I honestly couldn't believe it, however I guess thats why I love sports. No one ever can predict what will happen in March Madness.

Little Ava I think is starting to teeth, and I feel so bad for her. It is hard when you can do nothing for them and they are in pain. I gave her some tylenol to help take the edge off of it and it seemed to work. You can see her bottom two teeth coming it is amazing to me still how fast everything goes. Yesterday though she laughed a little laugh and it was by far the cutest thing I have ever seen, if only she would do it again! I am going to try and take some pictures of her for her 3 month photos. I don't really want to pay someone to do them when I feel that I can take just as cute of ones. But we will see we may end up having someone take them after all.

I have decided to blog!

I wanted to start a blog while I was pregnant so I could look back and remember what exactly I went through. I just never got around to doing it, so I have decided to start a blog and document our life from here on out.

Our life has been crazy but so much fun since our little one arrived. It is crazy knowing that she is mine even after all of this time. She has been such a blessing and has made me remember the small things in life. Right now she is a growing girl! I feel like she is out growing all of her clothes as fast as I am buying them. We just recently had to go buy jammies because all the ones we once had were too small :(! As far as me I am just working part time and being a mommy the other part it is a busy life! Josh just recently got an internship and he not only got that but he got the top position! He leaves in May for a week to North Carolina to train for his internship. Well that is a cap of whats going on in our lives right now! I plan to blog at least once a week!
