One Month!

Jase was blessed on his one month mark! He was blessed by his daddy and lots of family! Grandma Cindy made him a super cute onesie to wear for the occasion and we used the beautiful blanket Grandma Sue made him.

I cant believe my little baby is already one month old! Where has the time gone? When I was in High School time went by so slow and then I graduated and time seemed to move faster and then I had a baby and I swear time is moving ever faster the older I get. When time was moving slow I wanted it faster and now that time seems to be moving so fast I want it to slow down! 

The other night I was reading "I'll Love You Forever" to Jase and I just started crying at that stupid line, "He grew and he grew and he grew"...until eventually the boy grows up and leaves home.  My little guy has already changed so much, we have already had to put him in bigger clothes and I know he is just going to keep growing and growing until eventually he will leave home...and although that is a good thing it kinda breaks my mommy heart!  Sometimes I just want my little boy to stay little forever! But of course I also want to watch him grow up. It's a struggle! lol

... So when my little boy cries and wont be comforted or decides its a good idea to stay up all night and all day or wants to be held constantly and I'm frustrated and tired I try to remember that some day my little boy wont need me as much as he does right now. And so...when that little boy, whose bed is not an inch from mine, is lying awake at night, smiling at me or crying because he is having a pain I pick my little boy up and snuggle him close to me because time is moving so fast and he is growing and growing and someday he will be a big boy and wont need to cuddle mom anymore. 

Jase loves to wait 2 seconds after momma has just changed him and then poop in his nice clean diaper! (Granted, I am grateful he waits those 2 seconds lol) He likes bath time and hates being burped. 

Momma loves the sounds he makes when he eats and sucks on his binkie! Momma love love loves his smiles and coos!!! His read hair :)  The funny ways he sleeps and his cute little feet! And his many facial expressions!!!

We took this picture right after a diaper change...I'm going to get a better one soon and I'll post it! 

                              Four Generations!                                 Great Grandpa Mel and Jase!

Being a Momma!

Well its been three weeks and life is good! 

Being a mom is hard... but I absolutely love it! 

The first few days I thought, "Man I have this down, it just isn't as hard as I thought it would be." And then sleep deprivation caught up all way too fast and then the emotions...those annoying emotions. I would cry for absolutely no reason at all... (Why didn't anyone mention this?) I mean I don't mind crying if I just knew why I was doing it and its not like just shedding a few tears I'm talking full on bawling uncontrollably and it would just start up without warning. This is what I disliked most. Thank goodness I have a sweet husband who will hold me until I'm done and family who told me it's normal to cry. I seriously thought something was wrong with me and just knowing that it was common and normal made me feel so much better. 

Most days I don't get dressed, I don't usually get around to brushing my teeth till 11:00 or after, some days I stink, Im covered it spit up, milk and sometimes probably a little poo... for all I know, taking a shower is like a mini vacation, breakfast...whats breakfast? In fact most days its more like food...whats food lol!

But despite all the things you sacrifice it doesn't even compare to the happiness and joy of having this sweet little baby boy in our lives! I love him so much more than I could have ever imagined!

Having a baby is certainly an adjustment (Thanks to Audrey and her little book about getting baby on a schedule, things are already looking better. Thank you Thank you!) but I am learning how to get things done with a baby! (Its only taken a month.)

Jase has had a lot of visitors since his arrival! I have sooo many pictures but here are a few for your viewing pleasure!

I don't know what I would have done if my sweet mom didn't come help us! We sure loved having her here and we sure miss her!

Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dan! They bought us a sweet rocking recliner! Jase and I enjoy it on a regular basis! :) Thank You! 

 The Aunties!

Cousin Ollie and Jase!

  

I love these two pictures!!! Some on my favs! 

Grandpa Darin thought Jase needed this onesie! 

Photo Shoot!

Jessica and I decided to take "newborn" pictures of Jase, even though he was a few weeks old when we took these! For the most part he did really well! He even peed on Jessica so that was fun! 

Jessica designed some super cute birth announcements for us and they are adorable! You guys...if you need any sort of announcement done...my sister is where its at! PC: Also my super talented sister!
