Busy bee is busy.

I need to stop and smell the flowers. My mind has been so preoccupied with moving, birthdays, baby showers, baptisms, upcoming Mother’s Day and Father’s day, and so much more.  So much stuff going on.

 

I’ve been so busy and stressed out these past couple of weeks I think I even made myself sick. I’m feeling better now, thank goodness. I didn’t like that one bit! I’ve been ordered by my loved ones to slow down and just relax, that everything will fall into place. Remember, “It is what it is and you can’t stress yourself out too much. You have a little one to care for.” So right. I really need to start to just relax and realize that some things you can’t change.

 

Weather is warming up quite nicely these past few days and upcoming days. Maybe I’ll take a break and enjoy that. Perhaps go to the park? The Zoo? Or even just a small picnic or a BBQ. Whatever it is, I need to remember to relax or I’ll make myself sick.

Second chances and blessings.

Since the beginning of 2010, our worlds have gone through some sort of spiral. We've had major ups and downs. One of those downs included our whole world just crumbling down, but it brought a silver lining--our son. Since then, everything has been sort of like that cliche quote, "Crazy." If there was one word to describe my past birth year, that would be the word I would use.

Now that 2011 is coming to a close in the next few months, everything is being brought back up to perspective. A ton of  "what if's" surge and many, "I'm so glad I did this ...." roll into my head. From the loss of an angel that I desired, to a second chance of holding another. I'm so blessed that I have my monkey with me as I turn another year older. It's beautiful. Not just that, but after today, our world is changing. Good news was brought to us for another second chance, and that in itself is another blessing.

Second chances and blessings seem like what the theme is for these past two years. I wonder what the next two will hold for us once again--from the looks of it, it seems as if we are getting more blessings and second chances once more.

My life.

This is an email I wrote one of my best friends while she was at work:

This boy is driving me bananas!! LOL. He woke up at 3am and wouldn't go back to sleep til 6am. Then he wakes up at 8am crying, well whining. So we get up, come to the living room, and I place him under his gym. He plays a bit, the rattle hits him on his face and he starts to whine. lol. I pick him up, try to feed him, and he pushes the bottle out with his tongue. Now he's smiling at me and giggling (sort of like heaving but with his smile.) Then he whines. AGAIN. I give him his bottle, he doesn't want it. I put him back under the gym, he whines. I lay him down on the couch, corral some blankets around him and the bottle is on top---self feeding. Now he's happy.

This is my life! lol

Yep. My life has changed drastically since becoming pregnant and now a mommy. My nights and my mornings are no longer for me. Heck, not even the afternoons or evenings do they involve any "me" time. But I am sure everyone knows that when a little one enters your life, right?
