LIFE!

Friday - January 7, 2010 Liam (15 weeks) turned over from his back to his belly and now you cannot keep him on his back.

Tuesday, January 11, 2010...While driving to my parents, Isaac was eating an apple and after a while he said, "Mommy, the animals are coming out!" I wasn't sure what he was talking about until I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that he was referring to the seeds that he exposed when he bit into the core of the apple. I laughed and had to write that one down.

I cannot believe that this is what I have become! When I was pregnant with Liam I was so sick and so tired and gained too much weight. I expected this pregnancy to be the same as it was with Isaac - I had energy, I worked out every day, I was organized, etc. I was so wrong. The sickness wore off but I kept gaining weight and was very uncomfortable. I did only what I HAD to do just to get by. Okay, in the summer...I did go the the pool every week to hang out with my girl friends and let Isaac swim with his friends (getting into a swimsuit was so very humbling). Anyhow, besides that...I only did what I HAD to do to survive! I put off blogging, thinking I'd pick up right after Liam was born. Oh, and that "nesting" phase that I was so looking forward to never happened, so I really never got my house in order either. I was a mess. I say all of that to say this: I really thought life was going to be so much easier after I had Liam. Wrong Again!! Not only am I trying to adjust to two instead of one, poor Liam has been so colicy and that takes sometimes hours to get him settled down and once that happens I have to spend some time with Isaac because of all that time I had to help Liam. So in the mean time...dinner, house work, laundry...yeah right! That's one of the reasons I haven't allowed myself much time to get on here and have fun. I kept telling myself that once my house was clean and organized and laundry is put away and all that other stuff was done THEN I could have a little fun. Guess what. My house is still disorganized, not so clean and laundry is still on the stairway (at least it's folded though)!

I just couldn't keep missing little things (memories) because my house isn't in the shape I want it. I know that'll come with time...and a few good friends who want to come help - just kidding!. But in the mean time...I hope to get better at spending a little more time thinking about and sharing the memories we make as a family!
