2 months today!!

I would totally update more if our computer wasn't in the hall next to JosieBe's door. Derek has always told me I type realllllly loudly and I am always terrified of waking her (NEVER wake a sleeping baby boy did we learn this the hard way!). Just wanted to say that!

Finally (maybe) a free minute

I don't want people thinking that I am a miserable person or anything but usually I only write things when I am stressed or overwhelmed so the majority of my posts may come out that way. I guess I should start from the beginning. Well the beginning of Josie. My pregnancy ROCKED. I have very few problems until the end and was generally feeling wonderful the entire time. Minus my extreme swelling in the end (see the picture of my SHREK feet!) Yea try walking around on those things!


My delivery well ... sucked! I was 100% naive in thinking it was going to be easy and I could handle it but I was 100% wrong! Lets just say I don't think I'll be having another one anytime soon!

It's amazing to me though to think that she could fit in there!

Anyways... its taken me almost a week to actually write and post this so I am going to take the time I have and utilize it. Is it sad that I remember learning that word "utilize"? Is it more sad that I remember learning it at Cheerleading camp??? .... anyways moving on.

Its the day after Christmas and well I am proud to say Christmas sucked! Not entirely but Josie is so much like her dad that with so much going on and so many people by the time we made it to my families house she was miserable and screaming.

However it didn't screw up her routine. I believe we can officially say we have a baby who "SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!" She's in bed and asleep by 10:30 she puts her self to sleep because we lay her down awake (she coo's at her mobile for a little bit and then falls asleep) then wakes up between 8 & 9 am! Eats and then goes in her crib for some "her" time where she laughs and plays (ie. stares at her mobile!) by herself for 45 mins to an hour then falls asleep and naps for anywhere from 30mins to 2 hrs then is up for awhile!! Yep I'm a happy mommy about that!

I have to go through all our gifts and stuff (mostly hers!) and clean before Erin & Tracy come visit tonight so I'm gonna go but here's some pictures from yesterday!



Until next time!

So I thought I would start posting a blog about my thoughts of being as stated "JuJuBe's mom". I decided to do this because today Derek and I ventured to the mall (to get his STORM activated) and while we were there we figured we would get his hair trimmed since Kristy was working. When we got the ever so common question "How do you like being a mom/dad" and my answer was ... SILENCE! I never know how to answer this question and I feel like a retard because my answer can't just be simple or short. Its not just a "Great" kind of answer for me. This is a huge adjustment STILL and I just don't know how else to put things so I figured I would try to just type them up.

but not now .. I have to pump and get to sleep I'm exhausted!
