I have my baby ...

I found this post in my drafts... post originally written on May 30, 2015

I thought I'd like to share it. I have not added or removed anything ;) <3
I love Norman Ryder more than anything in the world, and I cannot believe I was blessed with his life almost 3 years ago.

I have my baby
Even if my birth plan didn't go as planned at all and I had a c-section.

I have my baby
Even if he doesn't have blue eyes.

I have my baby
Even if he has a terrible temper.

I have my baby
Even if he is a Norman way more than a Ryder (or Jude for that matter).

I have my baby
Even if he doesn't like to sleep nearly as much as I do!

I have my baby
Even if I wasn't able to breastfeed him longer than 3 months... Or without supplementing at all.

I have my baby
Even if I can't stay home with him all day.

I have my baby and I love him more than life itself... And you know what, I'm convinced he loves his Mamma too.

How much does my Toddler weigh?

Yes! You read that correctly.

It's that time already, can you believe it? I can hardly believe it myself!

Last year, we held a little contest to guess how big The Baby was going to be when born .... this year, let's guess how big The Toddler is!! What makes this even harder is I have not had/given an update on his weight, so it'll be like pulling it out of your .... 

oh nevermind ;)

I will give you a few hints though...

If you don't remember, he was born 9lbs 4oz & 21" long (on 2/20/15 @ 8am).

After heading home, he was 8lbs 3oz... so while I was breastfeeding we were instructed to supplement and get his weight back up (since he lost more than 10%)

At 3 weeks, he was back up to 9lbs 13oz and 22.5" long

At his 4 month check-up, The Baby was a whopping 20lbs! and at 9 months he was 28lbs!

So now.... what does my Toddler weigh at 12 months!!??

We have his 1year check-up on Friday 2/20 at 11am... afterwards (on our drive to Disney!!), I will come back here and the guess that is the CLOSEST will win!!!

Since it has taken me forever (no surprise there) to get this set up, I will extend the entry time! Entry cut off will be at 1:59pm on Friday 2/20/15

What do you win?!

A Whole Year

It's true.. 1 year ago today I posted one of my last 2 blog posts - How Sad!?

Honestly, this year has just flown by, my little baby (who didn't seem so little at the time) is going to be 1 in just less than 3 weeks!
(which brings me to my last blog post - Guess the Baby's weight - in about 2 weeks I will be writing a follow-up called - Guess the Toddler's weight!! - watch for it!!)


I can't promise anything but I would love to get back to blogging and sharing with all of you! I can never seem to find the time for blogging -- among many other things!

So much has changed over the last year - I've started writing a couple posts and they just sit as drafts, after I get this and my next 2 follow up posts up I will look them over again and get my thoughts together to share!


Time to attempt a nap before our fun-filled day! I'll be back soon for a follow-up to I won!! (Part 1 of 3) - please stay tuned! ;)
