getting excited

I'm getting more and more excited that we are getting closer to Christmas. Sure we dont have much money this year, which sucks, but we have enough money to hopefully get home to be our families Christmas presents and to show off the present that we were blessed with this year. I've learned over the last few years that money is not everything and that being with my family is so much a better gift. Jake and I spent our Christmas last year away from family and spent it with friends, but this year we are lucky enough to be able to go home and to be able to have our lil man with us to share this Christmas. I love my family and getting gifts is so not important now that I have my son, whom I've waited for so long for.

crazy times

Wow so the last few months have been a total whirl wind. Jake got home from deployment and then a week later our lil man was here. Ever since then life seems so much busier. Jake has had to go out to sea and such since D has made his arrival. I'm learning and adjusting to being a mom, its hard. Plus trying to keep up with everything else. I'm trying to start to 'plan' my days. To try and throw in an hour of school work and an hour of work out time into my day. Plus making sure that a few of the household things are done. But we are doing great. We love having our lil boy here with us. We feel very blessed that we are able to have such a beautiful child. He does have his problems, like really bad reflux to the point he throws/spits up after most meals and most of the day, but we are learning how to help him the best we can and keep him as happy and comfortable as we can. He first smiled last Wednesday and that was a wonderful day. He will be 2 months old in less than a week and we are so very excited for that. Plus with his first Christmas coming up we are hoping to go home and show him off to our families.
