Since I've Been Gone

Hi, there. Remember me? Didn't think so, since I haven't blogged since November 2011. WOW. Time to get back in the game. So, I'll give blogging another go. You're jumping out of your seat with joy, aren't you? Settle down, folks. It's just me!

A lot has happened in a year and three months. I'll spare you all of the details (holidays, birthdays, vacations, a bad haircut, the end of Gossip Girl, etc.) and cut to the chase. We had a baby! Our lives have totally changed (how cliche, right?)! But oh so true!

We were pretty surprised when we found out we were pregnant in March 2012! What an exciting year we had in store. Preparing for Baby Ford's arrival was really fun - decorating the nursery, showers, registering, swollen ankles, classes, and just so much anticipation we could hardly stand it. It was fun to spend so much time with the hubs getting ready for this next chapter!

Connor was born November 4, 2012 and weighed in at a hefty 10 pounds and 3 ounces. Our little nugget is the center of our world. Maybe I'll share my birth story later...don't worry, it's not gory. I (obviously) had a c-section since I practically gave birth to a toddler. Yes, he was holding his head up on his own in the hospital. We call him "advanced."


This was the first time I held my baby. I just can't explain the joy that was overflowing from my heart!


I love being Connor's mom. I feel like this is what I was called to do. He is a miracle, and daily I thank God for giving us this sweet, happy baby! These last few months have been the happiest of my life. Being a mom is beautiful, rewarding, exhausting and just really, really fun. I highly recommend it. And getting to do it all with Jeremy...it just doesn't get any better.

I'll stop for now, after all, it's only my first blog post in 15 months. Don't want to get too crazy.

Love,
B
