One month old today!

My sweet baby boy is a month old today! I can't believe how quickly it has flown by and how much he has grown. I feel like it was just yesterday that we brought him home. He is so much more alert to his surroundings now and doesn't sleep constantly like he used to. He is still a little on the fussy side or as I like to say he just has alot of personality but he is a sweet baby who loves to be held and cuddled. In fact the most challenging part this month is that he ALWAYS wants to be held even during the night so it can be hard to get things done. I know I should enjoy it now because there will be a day where I wish he would let me hold him more. This past month has been better then I could have ever imagined and he has added so much happiness to our lives. We feel so fortunate to have him.

I'll pass on the turkey this year.

I went nine whole months without eating turkey so I wouldn't give Bishop any bacteria from it and I craved it the entire pregnancy so as soon I had him I ordered a turkey sandwich at the hospital and I have had one every day since not to mention all the ground turkey I eat to substitute for ground beef. I was so happy to be able to have it again until I turned on the TV and saw that horrible interview with Sarah Paline at a turkey farm with a turkey being decapitated in the background. I can't get that image out of my head and it has ruined my love for turkey! What was she thinking doing an interview there? After all the controversy of her hunting moose this was the last thing she needed for her public image and why couldn't that farmer have politely waited until her interview was over to butcher that poor turkey? So it looks like I'm back to being a vegetarin until I can get over this. Bummer!

Bishop's Birthday!

Motherhood

It's been a little over three weeks since Bishop entered the world and I already can't imagine life without him. People told me how life changing being a parent is but it's something you can't understand until you hold your child for the first time. I have never loved someone so much in my life. I am so grateful to be his mom even when he wakes me up screaming at two o'clock in the morning. Every pound I packed on (all 65 of them) and stretch mark I got was worth it. I feel as if my life is complete with him in it like he is what I've been missing. It can sometimes be hard to understand why things happen in your life and why you choose the paths that you do but becoming a mom has helped me to see that everything happens for a reason and there is always a greater plan for you.
