Since the holidays go by so fast, and Christmas is only 24 hours long - we try to make the most out of it. Any event in town, we are there. Any reason to eat or bake anything Christmas related, we do. This year is so special because Jordyn totally gets what Santa is. We didnt think she would this early - but I guess it's Jordyn we are talking about - she knows all lol. She told me "Mommy buys daddy gifts, Santa and Brett ( elf on the shelf ) buy mine!". Hey - if only that was true id be saving a TON of money. Only 5 days until Christmas Morning - im SOO excited!!!! We do Christmas CraftsWe go visit the tree in DelrayBoca Raton ParadeDelray ParadeAnd an entire day and night of Christmas Cookie Baking!!! Those pictures to come :)Well, not so much a REAL birthday party. But yes, Todd Jordyn myself and Kole celebrated ( are celebrating as we speak ) Kole's ONE MONTH BIRTHDAY!!! I dont have time to blog right now - but I just didnt want to miss his actual first birthday blog post! I know - im crazy :) Happy One Month Kole Michael. Our newest best friend. Back to blog tomorrow :) Just hanging in my chair......So here we are - close to almost a month post baby. I know, whats a month - nothing. But - it's time to get this body back into shape! Everywhere I go - and everybody I see, I hear the same thing "Wow - you look great!" and while I am so so appreciative and flattered by those comments, its kind of like this. You know that morning when your hair wont do what you want, your makeup looks terrible and for some odd reason every single piece of clothing you own looks hideous...yet your husband says "Babe you look beautiful" ( come on ladies I know you know this feeling!! ) Well even though he says that - you still want to scream. That is how I feel now. So no matter what anybody else looks at me and thinks - I need to be happy! I'm not too far at all - about 15 pounds, but im ready to kick those 15 pounds in the butt!! ( and get them off of mine - haha!! ). I have never been one to work out. I joined a few gyms here and there - gave my monthly donation LOL - but never stuck So we have started family walking/running. Todd got new kicks, the jogging stroller is in gear and we had our first night last night. The kids love it - me, eeehhh - its okay! But it will be worth it :) "Mom I don't wanna work out!!!!!" - Me neither buddy, me neither!!! ;)
Babies are sleeping - Errands are done including our morning trip to the park - and mommy and daddy are on the couch with some mich ultras ( Mommy is having 1 dont worry! ) and our teams are killing it! Who are these Dolphins? Thanks for coming out though - You have made my hubby very very happy!! And as always, The JETS attempt to give me a heart attack, but once again, pulled through! Last night - well, Friday night that is - I couldnt sleep so I blogged from my phone. No clue what I did wrong - but it didnt post! So : here was my half sleeping, but cant close my eyes for no good reason 3 am blog post :) What this new love has taught me. I'm laying here wide awake at 3 am for no reason!! Todd is talking in his sleep and kole is snoring ( he's going on almost 6 straight hours right now!!!). I'm watching re runs of real housewives and decided it was a good time to blog! Normal right? Haha Life is miracle in general. But in our case which most of you know, kole along with jordyn, are our own special miracles. It's a love that can't be explained. And it's a way I never thought my heart could feel. With that being said, all of that love and thankfulness has made me into such a strong person. I roll with the punches and take what is handed to me and I deal with it. In the big picture of life, it makes you realize what's really important right? Theres a reason behind all of my sappyness, and soon enough ill be "blogging" about that. We have had a whirlwind of a week. I had some post c section issues which caused me to take a visit to the er, 3 dr appts this week and one small procedure to fix it all . Kole, our sweet little boy was in the doctor also. He had a clogged tear duct which got infected - so far, the eye drops are working perfect and he is well on his way to perfection :) because of the medication I am on for the next 7 days - I am unable to breastfeed , so for this week we have to supplement with formula. I'm not a happy camper about this - but I know this week will fly by and he will be back to booby once again :) sorry - tmi? ;) With everything that I went through after Jordyn was born ( her sickness. My post c section issues etc ) and now everything this week - you would think I would look at the big picture and have negative emotions but I just don't. I take what comes and I roll with it and im so greatful for it all good and bad . It always helps that Todd reminds me by the minute how proud he is of me and how strong I am. So jumping on to other things : kole, is 2 weeks old now ! Besides the few Bumps, it has been an awesome awesome awesome 2 weeks. He's an angel baby and we are having so much fun! Of course it takes me a good 20 mins in the mornings to even get downstairs with the 2 kids and some days I forget to even brush my teeth , but being a mom of 2 is the greatest. I love the busyness and I love the challanges. It's a feeling of success knowing everyday these 2 babies depend on me for everything and I'm giving them my all. That's a pretty surreal feeling of accomplishment knowing I can do it. Yea I have dirty hair somedays and might forget to eat but ill get there ;) and lets talk about the fact Christmas is only 23 days away!!!! I am so excited. I love this time of the year but spoiling our children make it even more exciting. Even though kole has no clue what's going on , I'm sure he will be smiling at jordyn as she literally rips open her gifts ( I swear she doesn't even care what's inside she just loves ripping the paper! ) Well im going to try to catch some snooze! As much as im loving this tv time and blogging, i have crazy written on my forehead for not sleeping when the baby does huh? :) A few updates : It's starting to look alot like Christmas around here!: The day after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas Tree!! We went to the same place that we have went to every single year, Jordyn had a blast picking out her and Kole's 3 footer and Todd and I carefully selected our 10 foot monster that barely fit through the front door! We then spent the rest of the day decorating :) Our amazing 2nd Anniversary. The theme was cotton which was oh so fun - and we both followed the rules - kind of ;) We spent the night at home - and it was exactly how I pictured it :) Todd made the most delish dinner for us and we enjoyed our time as a family of four :)
