Magical Nine Months

For nine months I carried you around in my belly. I saw you for the first time when you were 6 weeks old in my belly. You were a tiny spot then. I saw you again when you were about 13 weeks in my belly. You were a little jumping bean. The last time I saw you in my belly you were about 20 weeks. You did not hold still. For about 25 or so of those weeks I felt you move and dance. You grew and grew and all the time I wondered if you were a boy or a girl. Finally, nine months ago today, I saw your gorgeous little face and met you.

Time has gone on. Far too fast. Before long you were four weeks old. An entire month passed. My little wise boy.

The next thing I knew, I blinked and you were two months old. You began to smile at us.

Another month flew by and you were three months old. By now we were rocking cloth diapers.

Four months hit us just as quick as the other ones did. You began to love to bounce in your jump a roo.

By the time you were five months we were really chugging along. As you can see, you were the engineer.

Before long, half a year had passed. You grew some teeth and were ready for steak. (not really....I mean you did get teeth but you did not get steak.)

At seven months you learned to sit yourself up really well and wowed us all with your stunning good looks. You seem to like posing for the camera.

At eight months we could clearly see your father in you. Your tongue seems to be too large for your face. It is almost always hanging out.

And then we arrived to where we are today. You have been outside of me for as long as I carried you inside. I am not sure where the time went. My little Xan Man. It has been amazing and fun to watch you over the last nine months. A true joy and blessing. My big man......I love you more than words can express. You melt my heart. Thank you for letting me be your mom.

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
