Sleepless nights seem to lead to sleepless days

Well, last night seemed to be the longest night of my life. Now I think my baby is actually teething. Last night the child could not get comfortable and was up every 30 minutes wanting to just be held and comforted. Now, I love my baby and I love to hold my baby, BUT, I like to get sleep too. Anyway, we made it throught the night and i was ok with it because very rarely does noah ever have a bad night. In my head, I kept thinking well he should have some really good naps today. WRONG. He has been restless all day and not napped not even once. So, now it is 6: 20 p.m. and he has been down for hmmm like 45 minutes. I am just hoping it doesnt mess up his night time sleeping again tonight since his nap is so late. This is mainly just my ramblings, but I will say that he is so sweet and such a good baby and I may get frustrated with him not sleeping, but the minute he smiles at me, I wish that moment stood still. One of my favorite times in the day is first thing in the morning when I hear Noah talking over the monitor, and I walk in and say good morning and he starts kicking his feet and reaching up and smiling. One sleepless night every once in awhile, I guess I can say is way way way worth seeing that sweet baby face in the morning. I love him!

Crazy week

I have not blogged in awhile becasue my family has been in town. We had a crazy week that I think wore noah out, but i so love when my family comes to visit us! We had a great week, and did some really fun things. I kinda felt like I was on vacation, but the minute they left I looked at my house and thought, " I now have to clean, worry about dishes and laundry, and bills that have yet to be paid." It's not fun at all. So, this week will be spent doing all of the above. Not much is going on, but I will blog tomorrow and put some pictures of our "big" boy Noah. Last tuesday was his four month birthday, and his mimi made hima cake. He didnt have any, but im sure he should would have liked too.

nothing like family and a rat named "Molly"

Well, its been awhile since i have been on my blog, but not much has been up. We went to midland this weekend to see david's parents. It was nice to see them, sometimes, I feel like we don't get to see them enough. I always come back so spiritually refreshed when I have been around them. I feel so blessed to have in laws that are so invested in their kids and grandkids like the ones I have. I'm also super excited because my fmaily is coming to visit us for a whole week. It is always nice to have my family come see us. It really is alot fo fun to have your family come see your house and stay and do things at the place where you live. I really sometimes still get "home sick". SOooooo, its nice that they get to come. Well, noah is at the point now that if he doesnt get two naps a day, he is like crazy fussy... and well.... I just cant handle that :). So, he went to bed at 9:00 tongiht because he was so tired and he had no nap the past two days.

We now have a new member of our family........ kinda. Well, I have never been one for pets. I can "Stand" dogs again... kinda. But my husband as a child had rats. okay so i think of them as dirty nasty little creatures you set traps out to get out of your house. We have a teeny tiny house and my hsuband wants a big dog. Well until we have room for a big dog (which will have to be when we move into a bigger house) david really wanted a pet. So...... he went with his birthday money, and brought back some childhood dreams and bought a rat named molly. The deal was he can have it if i dont have to deal with it or entertain it! He said ok, so now I have a rat to look at :)!

Old memories

Well, Yesterday was just a busy day! We had a baby shower in the afternoon and a wedding out of town at night. Man, with a baby that is alot. Anyway, Noah is napping and I have had some time just to think about some things, and actually lately alot of my past has come back. My very best friend from highschool, Jessie, has started talking to me and we have just been talking about the old times and trying to right the wrongs in our friendship. Ya know, God puts distance between people for a reason, but it never fails that I realize how close Jessie and I were. My love for her and her friendship will never change. One of our friends from highschool got married yesterday, and I keep hearing about all of these kids from my class (mind you I only had like 16 people in my graduating class so, we were all very close, (private school)) are just getting married or having babies. In my head, I still see us as high school kids with life consisting of just friends and fun. I realize now that we have come so far, and our friendships may not be as strong, but God is growing and maturing us all. I thought I might go back to highschool just for one day and right my wrongs and enjoy those people I might have taken for granted, but one thing is for sure, God has brought to where I am. I would not trade what I have right now for anything. I wouldn't change any decision I have ever made, because although I dont talk to most people from high school, God used each one of them for a purpose in my life. I have HIM to thank for that. I am so blessed right now. I have realized that today more than ever. I have one of the best family's. I have an absolutely amazing and loving husband, and I have a son. Words could not express how much I love him. I love my life, and I would not change one thing!

Milstone met!

As a new mom I am constantly watching Noah and waiting for him to do something new, or to meet some new milestone in his short little life. Well, today he just kept "wowing" me. While washing my face this morning, I had put him on a blanket on his belly. He played for awhile and then before I knew it he rolled over! Oh my goodness! Now I know it's easier to roll from belly to back, but as a mom your still so proud. I just think it's so funny how excited moms get when their baby does something new because we see it as this huge accomplishment and they just look up at you with this big smile probably thinking, "oka, what did i just do." I love it. Anyway, my husband is home! yay! Thats always a good start to the weekend.

some spare time

I guess I never realized how nice just a few moments of spare time is. Noah usually naps in the afternoon anywhere from like 2-4 or 5. During this time I could be cleaning, doing laundry, or whatever needs to be done, but instead I sit on this thing and blog or check out things on the internet. Spare time is nice and I really love the fact that Noah takes this nap in the afternoon, I just sometimes think I should be doing the things that need to get done. On the other hand, I sure do like just being alone and doing whatever :). I still dont have this blog thing down, but when i figure it out I will add pictures and things. Anyway, this weekend we have a wedding and thats about it, pretty uneventful. It's okay though, it will be nice not having a jam packed schedule. I am starting to ramble, but again I have some spare time so, why not?

This is all so new!

So, here I am on this blog. Quite honestly, I have no idea what I am doing, but I love the thought of sharing things with people what is going on my life. My sister-in-law, Mari, told me about this site, and helped me get signed in. I can already tell that this is going to be a dagerously addictive place to be. I am so new at this, so my writing seems somewhat awekward, but I will get the hang of it. Noah is sound asleep right now, which is what I should be doing, but sometimes I feel this is really the only time in the day I have to do things I want to do on my own. I know this is not an exciting first message, but I am proud of it because it is my very first one! Good Night everyone, I am off to bed!
