Motherhood

moth·er·hood 
[muhth -er-hoo d] 
noun

Some say its all rainbows and butterflies, and for some it is.
For me, It's one of the hardest things I've ever done.

4 month update

I want to start off by apologizing for being so delayed on blogging. Eli needs my attention, I need sleep when I can get it, we've had lots of visitors, and so on. The best way to keep up with us (if you want) is through twitter! You'll find me at @the_MRSlife. 

Anyway, Eli is now a little over 4 months old and he's MASSIVE!

My Brother Jackson

Just days ago my brother, Jackson, got to meet baby Eli for the first time. He has been living in Fairbanks, Alaska for quite a few years now (thanks to the Army).  Jackson isn't just any brother, though.

3 month update

I weigh 16.9 lbs and am 24.5 in long.

A journey to answers

***I originally posted most of this last week but some information needed to be updated, so I sent it back to drafts until I was able to properly update.***

My entire life, all I've ever wanted was to be a mother.
I finally got my wish......and well....it's pretty miserable.
I've struggled with anxiety and depression for about 9 years, but what has taken over my life is a bit more intense than anything I've experienced prior.

10 week update

Not too much has changed. We are still living day by day. It seems like the colic gets better and then back to crappy.

Sam's Club Snacks

I've always loved both Sam's Club and Costco, but here in Clarksville we only have Sam's. In the passed, I would say, year it appears Sam's has started carrying more healthy and GMO free options. Now, I used to be pretty darn healthy and fit. That sort of ended when we moved and then of course pregnancy cravings were hardly ever healthy. Well now I would like to get back to being a bit healthier. Some things I will probably never give up, but a little at a time is better than no change at all.
