Updates Again!!! Happy Halloween!!!!

So, this is funny because I am sitting here at working writing this post. It has been a long time since I have posted and I decided that I need to write more that way I can share with friends and family what is going on with us. We have had such a long year with ups and downs but we are finally at an high in our life and we are very happy about it. Andrew and I have a job and we and our little girl is healthy and going well. She is now 15 months and she is crazier than ever. She is walking which is great and fun for all, except when she gets into things she shouldn't or when I find her trying to walk down the stairs instead of crawl. She is funny and has a great personality. I am so blessed in life right now and could not be happier.

Now to recently, we have had a good Halloween month. Andrew and I have went to see movies when we can, well the scary ones and we have went to the corn maze but more recent we went to cornbelly's over the weekend and it was so fun. I have not been there where they have all the cool stuff to play with the kids and things. Aja had a blast and I think that is something we will plan for next year as well. We also went to the pumpkin patch as well which was great to see all the good and bad pumpkins. Aja loved looking for hers and carried it all weekend so we finally carved them Sunday and had a blast. We took lots of pics and just didn't have a worry in the world. I will post pics later due to being at work I don't have them to post so I will do that when I have some time at home. Happy Haunting everyone!!!!

Mommy and Aja sleeping

I have had a blast with my sweet little girl. She is the best baby anyone could ask for. I have fun with her each and every day. She now two months old and we took her to get her shots the other day and I could not help but tear up because of the way she looked at me when they did it. She looked like I was hurting her on purpose and all I could do was watch. She did really good during the well check up she didn't cry once which is good. She is growing up fast and I need to really start documenting more stuff of hers so I can remember. I started work last week and the first day i left I cried all the way to work, I felt so weird that I did that but I just miss her all the time I am not around her. I think that breast feeding has created such a great bond. I think that she feels close to me and I feel the same because of it. I am not saying that mothers who don't breast feed don't get that closeness I am sure they get it too, I am just saying for me I have always wanted to breast feed my baby and it makes me happy that I have. I have not had a really hard time with it either. I had to talk to the lac nurse once but that was because of the way I was shaped I guess. Anyway... back to Aja and how big she is getting. She has a double chin and I love it she is such a little chunk now and its because she eats so much but I am glad its not the opposite and she gets enough. I know when she starts walking she will thin out so I have nothing to worry about. :) She loves to laugh and smile and talk like crazy which makes it even more fun. I get to see her personality grow each and every day. She also sleeps through the night so well. She gets about 7 hours sometimes which is great for mommy and daddy. :) We are trying to figure out what she will be for Halloween but haven't got the perfect one yet. Whatever it is we will take pics and show it off in another post. I am also excited about Christmas and Thanksgiving, it will be her first and I am excited to see how she does with it. I am also excited for shopping. She will have a lot of cool new toys and outfits. Anyway... that is all I have with this post. More to come when more happens to update. :)

Advice Please!!!

I have had a few weeks with no blog, sorry about that its just been hard now that Aja will not let me put her down at all and she also won't sleep like she use to. I think she is putting herself on a schedule where she is awake during the day and asleep at night. I just have to find times when I can get things done with her awake. Like shower for instance, I have no idea when to get that in with her awake. All you moms can you give me some advice with stuff like that. She is also eating a ton more which has me concerned with going back to work and breatfeeding. I have no stored anything because all the milk I have pumped gets used and she drinks all my milk anyway during the day. So, I have no idea what I am doing there. She is a great baby either way. Those were the things i had questions about. Please give me some advice. Thanks.

Life of a new Mommy

So, now my blog is starting to become about my cute little girl. I hope that you all don't mind. I just love her in everyway possible. She makes my morning when we wake up all the way up to to when we go to bed. She for sure keeps me busy between nursing, changing, and just plain old cuddling she keeps me moving. She is now going to be a month on Monday and I can not believe it. Its going by so fast, I have to go back to work in about 2 weeks and I am dreading it already. I am stressed because I can not find someone to watch her that I trust and all the grandparents either have jobs or are recovering from surgeries and all that. So, yeah I will have to search my heart out for a good one that is flexible also. I hate that I have to leave her goodness I know keep saying that, but its true. With all the good there is bad also, she is a pooping and peeing machine. She does it all the time and most often on me. LOL! So, now on top of all the other stuff that makes my day busy I add laundry to that. EVERYDAY!!!! Its all good because I love her and there is nothing that she can do that would make me mad or love her any less. I will get some more pics on here for sure I just don't have the camera that has them all. :)

Cherish Life

OK, I know this is two in one week but I just wanted to say that I am grateful for what I have. I am grateful for my little girl who was born healthy and perfect in every way. I am also grateful for my husband who is there for me and Aja everyday whether he is home or not. When he is not home he is working and going to school for us so we can have even better lives. When he is home he is willing to help with whatever didn't get done that day. He is great guy and I don't I could have asked for a better husband or father.

I am writing all this because I just found out that one of my best friends aunts went into labor and through all that struggle she ended up losing her baby. That was one of my worst fears was I go through all this pregnancy and in labor and delivery I lose her. I am grateful that didn't but it makes me feel very sad inside that this lady will never get to hold her baby and watch her sleep like I can. It makes me feel like i need to cherish every moment and make sure that I am doing everything in my power to protect and love this little girl and to make sure she knows she is always loved. Here are some words from the mother. I will end with this.

Whitney Butler Hawkins: Today our sweet baby boy, Maximus Kyle Hawkins was delivered after 3 days of laboring and finally came after an emergency c-section. 9 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches long. Our precious Max was too perfect for this world and returned to his Heavenly Father. We love and miss him dearly but know he is in a better place watching over us as our angel. We love you, Maximus! You will be in our hearts always...

New little one!!!

The pics got uploaded first so I just decided to keep them that way so here ya go and then you can read the blog.

Just taking a little snooze with mommy I just love the arm wrapped behind the head. :)

OK, I know that I have not been on in a while. I am sorry for that but I do have a very cute excuse. Andrew and I had our new little girl on 08/16/2010 at 1:50am. She was 8lbs 9oz's and 20 in's long. She has full head of hair which I love and she has a dimple in the middle of her chin which is her dad all the way. She is adorable and we just can not get enough of her. I look at her day after day and think how we made such a beautiful little girl and that she is all ours. I am sorry I did not say her name its Aja(pronounced like the country Asia) Gabriela Bitter. Like I said she is our pride and joy and we could have not asked for a better blessing in our lives. She already is showing her personality in her looks she gives daily and we love it. Right now we have been having some trouble sleeping because she is like a normal newborn wakes up every 2 to 3 hours sometimes when we are lucky its 4 hours. Its fine though because its a new experience and I love the challenge. I think that Andrew and I have learned a lot in the past 2 weeks and it has only made us stronger, which makes me happy. I am so happy to be a parent and excited to spend the rest of our lives getting to know our new little one as she grows and develops and also get to know future kids as well. I know that Andrew and I have learned a lot about each other which only makes our marriage better. I think that more life brings the more exciting it gets and I would not trade my life for anyone elses. I love you Andrew and Aja, thanks for making my life wonderful. :)
