Hello!! It's been a little while since I've posted:) I've been quite busy with life stuff....being a wife, mommy, daughter, friend, employee etc! We've had lots going on and Emil is now 2.5 months old! Over the past month we've been doing well! Emil has really adapted well to being able to fall asleep on his own. YAY! We had a bit of a rough patch with that transition but it was short and now it's way better. During the day we typically let him take his naps in his swing or, when he's with E.J., on the couch...lol. We just lay him down and he will have his eyes open for a little bit then he dozes off to sleepy land:) At night he does GREAT...Oh my gosh! I'm so thankful...we have a very good baby:) I feed him between sometime 8:30-10pm and he will sleep for anywhere between 6-7.5 hours straight! It's fantastic. Then I'll feed him again around 3:30-5pm and he'll sleep another 3-4 hours! Last night I fed him at 9:15, he woke me up at 3:45...feed him then he wasn't back up until 8:45! YES YES YES! So, the last time I wrote the falling asleep thing was a big deal and thankfully we've moved passed that and we are doing great:)
Other than that I really must say I love being a mom! And I know E.J. loves being a dad! We are really enjoying being parents:) Emil and I finally made it out to two of E.J.'s teams soccer games! We had a great time and Emil was so good. I was just thinking as I was driving over to the school how crazy it was...I was driving our son to my husbands soccer teams game... It felt really good! Everybody absolutely loved seeing our little guy...the most recent game he was passed around to all the soccer moms who have been watching to hug and cuddle with him for a while now:) It was fun! (Just had to take a quick break to check on Emil...he's asleep in the swing for his first morning nap and he loves to have the covers over his face...I uncover him but within a few minutes he's pulled the covers BACK up over his face! Little stinker!)
Lately I've just been thinking about how quickly time is going by. It's nuts how a year ago we wanted to be pregnant so bad and I just remember being so upset when Aunt Flo came to visit (April 2012) and thinking we'd never have a baby! Then the next month I was late...took 3 prego tests and was sooo excited they were all positive!!! Then I remember telling E.J. and going to tell our family that day! Then the pregnancy journey began...(which you can read in my blog so I won't go on and on about that:)). It's just crazy how much things have changed over the past year. I am so blessed and feel so happy to be where we are now. I love our little boy so much! He's so darn cute! I just have so much fun taking care of him, running errands with him and just being his mom! It's the best thing ever.
He's to the point now where he laughs at me and smiles when I smile at him. I love it! He's really starting to show his personality. A friend of mine told me when we had Emil that each day we would love him more and more and she was right. I find each day I just love him more than the previous day:) He's so awesome!
Anyway, other than that kind of stuff...E.J.'s been busy with soccer. His last game is tonight! He's got prom pictures this Saturday and he's doing the kids soccer pictures soon too. He's been really busy working in the garage each day....that alone has been like a full time job! Goodness! I've been busy with work, which is awesome and I love. I've started back teaching bodyflow, which is also awesome and I love! :)
Well, I need to go...Emil is waking up from his nap & it's time to eat! Write again soon!! :)
