jogging is over-rated!

last week i went on a jog, with gabe and BOB(bob is our jogging stroller)

i was about a mile into the walk/jog with more walking then jogging on this particular day,

and the tears started flowing, and i mean freely people.

i was full on running and crying.

let me tell you why...

running is so much harder then it was 9 months ago,

my hips ache, my knees ache my pelvic bones ache.

i know i had a baby 8 short weeks ago,

but i had 30 years of running before that.

it felt like surly i would never be able to run again

like i used to.

but alas today i went on a 3 mile

walk/jog

and although again there was probably more walking then jogging.

there was no tears.

*

so to all of you mama's out there who get back in shape

after your babies, i salute you.

i hate you. but i salute you.

happy birthday arron!!

today my favorite person turns 30! wow!! i've officially been in his life for more then half of it. isn't he lucky!

i made this sign for him and with some help from a 'little birdie' i got it put up in his cube before he got to work this morning. hahaha

Happy birthday babe, we LOVE you.

what a difference a day makes.....

....... ok i mean two months, but it feels like "only yesterday" ;-)



..............one week old......................today............................one week.......................today.................



two months this little "superman" has been in our lives and it's amazing how time FLIES!!! he is getting SOOO BIG and by big i mean: chunk-a-rama!!! i know you don't need to protect my feelings. he is a chubbers!! and i LOVE every last roll and dimple. :)

what have i learned in the last 2 months... i don't think there is enough space in cyberworld to post it all but i'll try to condense my list.
*i really don't NEED 8 hours of sleep to function.
*i'm not right handed i'm one handed.
*a smile really can melt your heart. (i have yet to capture one on camera, but he can do it...i promise)
*3 AM really does happen. all these years i've just thought it was a rumor.
* moving him to his own room was harder then i thought it would be.
* Love is just not a strong enough word!!!

i'm just say'n!!!!

8 is GREAT.............

8 = the number of hours Gabe slept last night. Thank you my dear little man for the 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep i was able to get. i feel like a new woman!
8/8 = the day that we blessed Gabe. Arron did such a fantastic job, i'm so lucky to have 2 such amazing guys.

i wish this wasn't the best picture i had of him in his little tux, but unfortunately it is. i could NOT get him to hold still when i was trying to get some good shots. i guess i'll have to try again another day. :(
