The Last Year

       Over the last year has been a wirl wind of excitement. We got married on November 1st, 2009. While all marraiges have ups and downs especially the first year I am glad to say even with me being pregnant almost the entire first year we still love each other more each day! Austin was the most wonderful gift for us,  he has been a blessing everyday and as I watch him grow it makes me happier each moment. His laughter while still quiet is an instant heart melter. As we look towards the Christmas season I am excited. My family is coming out to join our celebration, we are so lucky to have family so close. We are looking forward to having Austin's first Christmas at home and are even more excited to have Leila to share her first Christmas with us as well.

   Chris has been hard at work and can't wait for a break to relax and enjoy a vacation. I am so greatful that he is able to make enough so I can stay home. It is wonderful to spend time with my son and relax at home I feel after being pregant for 8.5 months (he came early) I needed a vacation which is probably why there is maternity leave :). Even as Austin cries I know I am the one soothing him and that I can stay here and keep him company.

Sleeping through the night...

Austin has slept through the night 3 times now!! I was convinced it was a fluke the first time. Well after 2 more nights I am convinced he is headed that way. While he still will probably wake up a couple times while he continues to grow. I am amazed by the way he grows in leaps and bounds, his smile gets bigger everyday and the way he laughs lights up my day. I will have to record it some day.
I tried to go shopping at kohls yesterday under the strict rules to shop for myself and for once in my life I could not find anything I wanted to buy....sigh.
Austin is just about 3 mo old and he has begun to teeth, is that how you say it? Well yesterday he was onery and today to so I gave him some tylenol and I hope he feels better soon. The drooling has begun too, I have a wet shirt to prove it!!
I LOVE being a MOM!!
