And I thought that I would be bored.....

My biggest concern about becoming a stay at home Mom was that I was going to be bored. I had no idea that I wouldn't hardly have time to shower. Seriously some days I don't get to shower until about one or two in the afternoon. This is partly because in the morning I'm fighting with everything that I have to keep Isaak asleep so I can get more than 4-5 hours of sleep. I know now why I should have be younger to have kids because for some reason when I was in college 4-5 hours of sleep was definitely enough. Now I feel like I've got hit by a freight train. I have been told to sleep when Isaak sleeps, but that means that I never get to shower and then I have no time to do anything else........I know I'm sure people are crying for me. It's also an amazing experience to have this cute little baby that you are completely in charge of-well when you aren't praying constantly for help! We've had some exciting times I've learned a lot more about crying like my baby does it all the time and boys really do pee when you take their diaper off. I've been hit four times already-three times in one night. I also realized that I still have a full time job-it's called breastfeeding I do it for about 40 hours a week plus I'm on call all night.......But the last of my worries is boredom-who would have known???

But that little face makes it all worth it. He's so stinkin' cute!!!! Speaking of my full time job-I've got to go it's about that time again...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

For the LOVE!!

What a day we had. What a day we had. I get tired again just thinking about it. Cory's car is getting the muffler put back on. I'm a little sad about it because Isaak and I could hear his car coming from over a block away when he was on his way home, but it's also a little embarrassing how loud it is. I'm sure it defied all noise ordinances. In any case, Isaak and I have been getting up a little early to take Cory to work, which is kind of fun because we get to see him more, but before dinner it's not kind of fun. It's kind of stinky because it's a hustle to get everything all put together. Yesterday I had to make dinner at about 3pm so I could get everything in. So back to yesterday. Isaak and I had just rolled our bushy little tails out of bed and both of us were still in pajamas. I was wearing my chacos and one of Cory's jackets and Isaak wanted to bring all of his blankets. Thankfully for some weird reason I threw his tennis shoes into the diaper bag...

Mommified

It's official I've been Mommified. I've seen it happening to others for years and now I've become part of the madness. Don't worry I'm not talking about being Mummified for all my entrails are safely where they should be, but I'm talking more about slime and snot. Yes slime. I was getting ready for bed and I looked down at my Pajama shirt and realized that I had been gooed. I had junk all over the bottom half of my shirt. I had no idea what it was and the most alarming part of this.....I simply shrugged my shoulders and thought well it's dry at least it won't get on my sheets. I slept in a slimy shirt. Example number two--Isaak had a runny nose last week. I had to run into Nordstroms for a second and didn't want to carry Isaak and the diaper bag, so I just took Isaak. As we were strolling into the store I noticed that he had some runny nose goodness. I quickly wiped his snot with my shirt sleeve on the inside. EWWWWW!! I just did what??? Gross Of...
