One year ago today....

One year ago today...

I woke up at 6am.  I was so frustrated to have woken up.  More frustrated to have to get up to go to the bathroom.

One year ago today...

I called my Mom.  Telling her I wasn't sure if I lost control of my bladder, or if my water broke.

 One year ago today...

DJ hurried home from work to find me cleaning the house.  While I hurried to pick up the house, he was begging me to leave for the hospital.

One year ago today...

We told our Molly goodbye, and headed for the hospital.

We walked into the hospital.  Just the two of us.

I layed on the hospital bed, surrounded by family.

One year ago today...

I fell in love with epidurals.  Seriously, LOVE them!

One year ago today...

I remember telling myself soak up every second, remember everything that happens today.

One year ago today...

I quickly got the camera and video camera ready, when they told me I was at a 10.

One year ago today...

I said goodbye to my family, as they left the delivery room for the waiting room.

One year ago today...

The nurse and I watched the finale of The Bachelor, in between contractions & pushing. We quickly shut it off, when we realized Jake picked Vienna.  Really?! Dumb move, Jake!

One year ago today...

The nurse told me 1 more push.

 One year ago today...

The sweetest little baby was placed on my chest.

One year ago today...

That little baby boy made me a Mommy.

I don't think the smile on my face ever left.

I had no idea how much I could fall in love.

After waiting at the hospital all day, we introduced Karson to Grandma Nana, Uncle Ricky, Auntie Leesha, and Aunt Katie.

He changed our lives forever

This year, we are celebrating Karson's 1st Birthday.

Happy Birthday Munchkin!

Mommy & Daddy love you so much!

He Caught Us...

We thought we would sneak in to get a picture of Karson sleeping.

 Oops...he caught us!

 He wasn't thrilled about it either.

Sorry we woke you up, Munchkin!

If you look really close, there is a smile behind that paci!

Lately...

Things have been more than a little crazy here lately.
Thus no blog posts in almost 2 weeks.
We sold our house.
We have started packing.
We are searching, with no luck, for a house.
We are planning Karson's first birthday party.
We are enjoying some much needed family time.

Last week the snow melted, and Karson got to run around the yard, for the first time.  He loved every second of being outside, and now gets really excited when I put his shoes on.  He and Molly & Maggie ran laps around the house.  Molls loved being able to run again, as she isn't allowed in the snow.  Karson followed her everywhere, laughing the whole time!  I have never been more excited for spring and summer. I am ready to play outside with Karson!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Mommy is on the verge of an anxiety attach with all this moving stuff, Karson is loving having boxes everywhere to play with.

 

 

Munchkin still loves his puppies!

Now if only we could get him to be this gentle with Molly...

We are still super busy packing up the house, and preparing to celebrate our not quite 1 year old.  Hopefully I will be back next week. :-)
