Picture Perfect Sunday

this little man is the light of my life.

He Thinks I'm Pretty Great!

Unsatisfied Hunger

Boy, do I eat like crap when the hubby isn't home. I know I eat like crazy because I am breastfeeding, but I should be eating healthier. I am so disappointed in myself. All the good intentions are there, but when it comes down to it I pick the ice cream over the strawberries. I really need to get myself on a better road. Walking every morning, making better meal selections, and not giving into temptation every time. I know it will help with loosing the jelly bowl of a belly I still have and with my energy. I need to find my motivation.

Weekend Ahead

So it's just me and Jameson for the next few days while my dearest husband if off on a Rubicon trip with his brothers and some friends.... He picked a wonderful weekend to leave us. It is so hot out and poor Jameson is teething like crazy. The only things that seem to make him feel better for any period of time are his outside swing and chewing on his "Sophie". And that doesn't even last long.

I am so glad today was Friday because that means "Parents Group" at the park. I look forward to it every week, just getting out and talking with other moms about anything and everything. Seeing all the other babies and knowing I'm not the only one going through the stuff I'm going through.
I really wish I could think of something fun for Baby J and me to get out and do... I just feel like he is so young to be doing a lot of the things I can think of.  Hummm.
Looks like I have a long weekend ahead of me.

One thing to look forward to: I bought myself a serger sewing machine! YAY I can't wait until I get it, then I can really start making stuff for my little business adventure.

Pool Daze

Jameson has been tired of being couped up in the house, so we went for a nice long walk this morning but it is so warm in the afternoons and all he wants to do is be outside. So I decided it was time we tried out his life vest before we went out on the boat with Papa...

The Start To My New Adventure

It's official, my very first day of being a Stay At Home Mom (SAHM). No more worrying about the next time I have to leave my son for 10 hours with someone else to care for him, not knowing what he is doing all day.... and best of all no more pumping three times a day in place of nursing. I would be so happy to never hear the sound of that pump again.
I have spent the past four and a half years working at an orthodontic office forming amazing relationships with my co-workers and our patients... it was extremely bittersweet to leave. But I know in my heart it was the right thing for me and my family. After taking 12 weeks off for maternity leave, going back to work was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I was having anxiety attacks just thinking about it, and physically getting sick just about every work day.
Now my days will be filled with entertaining my favorite little man, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, working on my crafts (hopefully soon to be my very own business) and studying to become a IBCLC. And until the beginning of November my husband is home on disability due to breaking his right ankle and clavicle. Don't let that fool you into thinking I get help around the house, it's almost the other way around. But it is nice to spend some extra time together.

I mean seriously, what could make a girl happier than spending all day with this handsome stud muffin.
