Grateful

Eight months ago I received the most wonderful gift....my beautiful son.
Despite countless diaper changes and sleepless nights, the task of being a parent is the most rewarding job I will ever do. The wonder and amazement in my son's eyes when he see's something for the first time is truly unbelievable. Small things have become exciting again. It gives me a new and wonderful perspective on life and for that, I'm grateful.
I thank God everyday for giving me with such a wonderful family. On this day and everyday of my life, I feel infinitely blessed!!
Happy Mother's Day to all Mother's...you inspire me!!

Things I wish I knew before I got pregnant....

#1-First thing I wish I knew before I got pregnant...

Sign up for daycare when you start to THINK about having a baby! That's right...before your unborn child is the size of a poppy seed...line up your daycare options.

I've visited every daycare in OC (it feels like it anyway!) and I'm shocked to find that there's a year and a half wait for these things. I can't think that far in advance....lol!

#2- Secondly...

Apparently, the best time to get newborn photos of your child is within the first 10 days of life. Photographers say the way they curl up at that age is perfect for, "Anne Geddes-like" baby pics.

My advice.....If at all possible, plan ahead.

Definitely not a quality I possess. Hope it helps you out anyway!

Updated blog

I've updated my blog a little but, bear with me....

My computer crashed so this site is still lacking in pictures. Once I can recover them (IF I can recover them) I'll post more pics!!

If my son could talk...

....this is what he'd say...LOL! I can't help it. I'm sure all you Mommies can understand. I can't get enough of the lil guy!!

Jackson is 5 months old!

My lil man, who's not so little anymore, will be 5 months tomorrow! That's just unreal to me.

I took him for a run today at sunset and it was pretty awesome. He was staring and smiling at me the whole time. If that's not motivation to work my hardest, I don't know what is!

Updates!

My lil man is off to a big start in 2011! He's starting to giggle, he found his toes, he moved into his room...downstairs (tears!) and finally, he rolled today (front to back).

And tomorrow, he's off to college......they grow up so fast...lol! ; )

Haven't gone back to work yet. Just enjoying my time with my son and helping my hubby out with the businesses, http://www.Ionvodka.com & http://www.glutenfreedaily.com which are doing really well!

Hope everyone's having a Happy New Year so far. Looking forward to the fabulous opportunities this new year may bring!!
