Time is flying...

It is amazing how much time is flying by- they say that happens when you are having fun! I love being a wife and a mommy. The juggling act between the two isn't as difficult as I thought it would be, however...I am sure once I put work back into the equation it will be a whole new story. I love being at home right now, but unfortunately- you don't get paid to be at home...so, it will be off to work eventually. I am lucky to have permission to take 12 weeks off..so I am savoring each and every day that is for sure!

A typical day in my shoes currently are...feedings every three hours- give or take. Taking naps with Connor on my chest. Laundry. Bathing Connor or myself. Walking....or rare trips to the health club for a serious workout. Reading books and singing songs. Playing music. Changing Connor's clothes....(because of his talent of being able to pee up his BACK! Not sure how the kid does it!) Did I mention laundry? And, if you know me- you must know that each day consists of organizing!

It is amazing how quick the time is going by, then again, I guess we have been busy. It's been 4 weeks since Connor has come into our lives. We have had two people come see our condo on two separate occasions, unfortunately no buyers. We have made it to a funeral. :-( And, to a wedding. Sean has had a job interview. We have had MANY friends and family come over to meet Connor...and many more that still need to meet him.

But through all of this; I have loved EVERY moment...I don't think I have been stressed once in the past 4 weeks. We have been blessed with such a happy, content little boy. I am so lucky to have Sean in my life; he's such a great husband and father. I love watching the way the two boys interact...the way Connor just stares at Sean is incredibly awesome (Connor doesn't ever look at me/anyone that way....however Connor will react to the sound of my voice). I am so lucky to have this time....now if someone could tell me how to stop the hour glass so I can relish in these moments forever, that would be great!

Our new life...

Since Connor has arrived- my blog name remains the same "the happy life I've dreamed of..." Being a wife and a mommy is such a wonderful experience- one that I honestly didn't think I would be either title of (wife or mommy). Sean is such a great husband and father and I couldn't be happier with him in my life. I know now that there's a balancing act- I must continue to put him first, then our son. As for Connor, wow- he's great...a very content baby- rarely cries....he's got his own little personality at the ripe age of 18 days old. Last night I was laying on the couch with Connor on my chest sleeping- and Sean walked in from a long day of work....Sean dropped everything and came over and the three of us just laid there- it was so nice that I guess I can only sum it up to....fairy tales do come true! I am looking forward to this new life with my boys...
