Noah - 4 months

I meant to share these on here but somehow got sidetracked. 

I think I'll start now

Mom Jeans....

I have always looked young for my age. I still get carded for rated R movies and spray paint.

I was once out to dinner with my husband and his friend and the employee asked them (not me) if I was 12 or younger because I could eat free. I was 20 at the time.

Last week I found myself contemplating if I should change the way I dress and style my hair to fit my new 'mom' title. 

To me, motherhood brings on this sense of pride and accomplishment and when I go out with my little boy I am proud to be his mamma. But for some reason I always walk around feeling insecure because of the way people look at me. Because I look so young I can tell that they make judgement right away. Not many people ask me about this sweet little boy sitting in his car seat. I just get the "16 and pregnant" look that is often accompanied by an eye roll. Talk about making you feel good! I just want to flash my ring in their face and say, "look lady! Married!" haha. 

And so I say, "does anyone have a pair of Mom jeans I can borrow?" Maybe that would help. Maybe not. 

But just to clarify, I'm not talking about wearing half shirts and belly rings, but when I go to the store in yoga pants with my hair on top of my head I guess it makes me look younger and therefore not mature enough for a baby. Im sure other young ladies out there have the same problem. But then I realize that I am only 25 and I know I'm a great mom so I can dress and look my age if I want. Boom. 

:)

So True....

My little boy will be 4 months old next week. Out of everything people constantly tell you about your new future while your pregnant, I've only found a few to be completely true. (1) You will never sleep again. That may be a bit exaggerated, but quite on track for me. I can only imagine the late nights waiting up for your sweet little one to get home. Only they won't be so little anymore. 

(2) It goes by so fast.<----This is the truth. I don't think any parent would fight this as fact. Last night I went and visited a friend who has a 1 week old little girl. It is amazing how I already forgot how to hold a newborn. She felt like a feather in my arms and I couldn't understand how time had passed so fast. It felt like so long ago that he was that small. But I am so loving everything about this stage he is in now. He is curious about everything, wants to eat and hold everything and moves all over the place. I'm in trouble when he starts to crawl! But the best part about right now is how he holds me back. I waited for that since the day he was born and just to have his arms around me and his little fingers clenching them tight, BEST feeling ever!

I'm loving every second of motherhood. And I am especially thankful for my hubby. He let me sleep this morning and took Noah for a walk and played with him all morning. I got up at about 11:00 am and nursed the little man, ate some food myself and now they are off to the store together. I have some time to blog and jump in the shower! Ahhh and all on top of the amazing weather we have here in Chicago. 

Have a beautiful Sunday!

Hey Ladies

I can roll over these days. I can't quite make it back over again but Im getting there.

Pretty impressive  ehh? Oh and guess what? I'll be 3 months old on the 21st!

My mamma can't believe it either. 

Happy Valentines Day! <3

The Color Run

How awesome does this run look? I can not think of a better way to motivate my lazy butt and shed this last bit of prego weight. I'm actually so excited I can't stand it. Now if that excitement and motivation could physically place me on the treadmill that would help a great deal.

Check out the Video

Good news is that its a Fun Run 5k. So you don't necessarily have to worry about being in tip top shape. You can walk, run, or jog. Whatever you fancy kids. 

Check it out here and read about its sweetness.

And find out if there is one near you right here.

I can't wait! Let me know if any of you are going to do it!

Little man and I

Little man and I are off today. That makes Wednesday my new favorite day!

Although it would be a dream to be a stay-at-home mamma, I am grateful I am able to have one day during

the week with my little boy. And hopefully, in the not so distant future, that dream 

may come true. Until then I will cherish this one day I get, just Noah and I. We are probably

going to read books, get a bath, clean the house, and relax with a movie. 

I can't believe he will be 3 months old in just a few short days. Time really does fly like we're told. I already find myself missing his tiny little newborn face. But there is so much goodness to come

and I just can not wait. :)

Just like Daddy

I love this picture. I found a pair of newborn shoes that looked just like my husbands work boots. 

I know that Noah is going to grow up to be just like his daddy. 

I feel like my little boy is growing so fast already. As every mother has told me, "they grow up so fast"

Well, yes that is true. When I delivered he was only 7 lb 10 oz. and only 6 short weeks later he 

is almost 13lb. Big boy. But I can already see how much he has changed. Physically and his personality. 

Im getting scared that I am going to miss or forget some of the cute little things that he does at this stage 

but I know that I just have to cherish them while they last. I love my little boy and I can not 

thank God enough for him. Looking so forward to a new year with my new little family.
