Soon to be 3!

Can you believe this handsome little stud muffin of mine
 is turning 3 in less than 2 months?  

Crazy how fast time flies!

Cherish every moment you have with your little ones because you can never get back those moments where they let you hold them in your arms while they are awake for hours at a time.  Before you know it, they will start to develop crushes on little girls at daycare that he believes is prettier than his own Mother like mine did recently.  Ouch... it really did break my heart a little bit.  Not the being prettier than me thing (well, a little), but the fact that there are other "women" in that little heart of his already.  *sigh*

Happy Baby, Happy Wife, Happy Life!

I still cannot believe that I am a Mommy.  It is THE best feeling in the world!  I count my blessings everyday and when I do, I count Brayden numerous times because he is worth a million blessings.  The excruciating labor and the continued sleepless nights are definitely worth it whenever I see my Baby smile.  :)

I get to wake up to the sweetest smile every morning... I am so lucky that he has chosen me to be his Mommy.

Brayden at around 6 weeks old

Waking up to play at 2am... he reminds me so much of myself.  (Yikes!)

 I love my son!

Babies! Babies! Babies!

 

“When are you going to have a baby?”



Ahhh… the question of the year! I think I am asked this question every single day for the past year! Don’t get me wrong… I don’t dislike being asked this. In fact, it makes me feel all warm and giddy inside!



Truth is that we would love to have a baby right now… everyone who knows me know that I am pretty much obsessed with babies and I would love to be a younger mom. In fact, my plan was to have my first child when I am 25, but now I am about two years behind on that plan… yikes!



What is holding us back? Well… we’re just not ready. I know, I know… you can never be ready enough for a baby. Along with the question, I get that response every day too! I understand that, but I mean it in a different way. There are just a few things that I would like to have done and ready before we bring a little baby into our family. You know… like sealing a deal on a house… that is the major thing that is holding us back. I just don’t want to deal with purchasing a home while being pregnant or with a baby. Both times are stressful and I don’t want to combine both. Once we have a house of our own, ask me again and the answer may be different!


On another note, our good friends Mikal and Paline had their baby shower for Baby Lauren this past weekend. I was honored to be part of it… especially in the decorations/games department because that is right up my alley. I am a sucker for little details and I enjoyed putting them together. It was my first time ever making a diaper cake and with the help of Sandy and Lily, I must say that it was a huge success! Thanks to my friend Michelle for making a customized piñata… this was a big hit… literally! The games were interesting, but I think the people who participated had a lot of fun. One lesson learned is that I should probably have some prizes for the kids because they will surprise you and come up as winners over the adults! LOL! Here are some pictures that Daddy to Be, Mikal took… can you guess what the theme was? ;)

Mikal had set up a photobooth and had the guests take pictures, printed them right away and design a page for Lauren's scrapbook.  I thought this was such a great idea and the outcome was awesome!  I made a special request for this also when it comes to my turn!  Wuahahhah!
