Babies First Visit With Santa

I have been meaning to post these but Vincent had his 4th tooth make it’s debut, along w/ all the shopping we had to get done, re-arranging the house to make room for the Christmas tree and bearing this horribly cold weather! Oh and… as of last week Vincent officially started crawling like a big boy! and by officially I mean he’s almost all but given up the army crawl. It’s amazing how things change…

My son is 8 months old today

Where has the time gone? When I was pregnant the days and weeks seemed to drag on forever. Last year at this time I was sitting home all alone, just about to turn 5 months pregnant. I had quit my job after being sick for many weeks and I had just recently moved back home to this house after being gone for 13 years.

So, this past Friday out of the blue I became sick. I don’t know what happened but by the end of the night I had chills, shakes and a slight fever. I ended up going to bed at 9:30pm! which is totally unheard of for me. I usually like to wind down a little after baby has gone to bed because it’s a chore to get him settled for the night. However, for the first…

Will I be a good mom?

The day you discover you are pregnant, once reality sets in and you completely understand that “this is really happening”, one of the first things that may run through your mind is “Will I be a good mom?”. It won’t be the last time you think that either. You’ll have 9 long months to ponder the question. 9 long months to fret and worry and prepare as well as you can. 9 long months to…

Please let me introduce you to the most important person in my life

I have so much I want to talk about. I think day and night about all the topics I could cover. It drives me crazy. I don’t have many people to discuss things with these days.. and unfortunately my small family outside of my husband and child is very broken. Motherhood has really opened up my eyes to a lot of things and I’ve realized now that I have my son.. if we were the…
