O.K. so I have been MIA for a while.  Reason being…I had a baby!!  May 8th (or Mother’s day) at 3:15am my son was born.  He is a week and a half old now and it blows my mind how much he has changed and grown (no joke.  At the pediatrician’s office on the Thursday after he was born he had grown an inch and a half!)  Everything has been crazy, I’ve lost 20 of the 30lbs I gained during pregnancy, I sleep maybe 6 hours a night on a good night, my nipples are wicked sore, and I can’t drive a car for another 4 days.  My life has changed drastically in the last few days and it is AMAZING.

I opted for natural childbirth. No drugs.  It was great because it was so awful.  It reminded me that I was alive and honestly we do not get many opportunities in life that really allow us to feel truly alive.  After my son, Bennett was born I felt like I was too.  It is wild how the birth of a child can make you feel alive for the first time.  You suddenly realize that you are living life for a new reason.  A reason that is so important it is described by a word that is indescribable - Love. 

I love my husband.  I love my parents.  I love running.  I love painting.  I love pickles.  I love John Mayer and SRV…but I LOVE my son.  and even though the word is the same for all of these the feeling isn’t.  The feeling is impossible to describe but I couldn’t be more satisfied with life. 

Peace, LOVE, and Happiness
