Hi, I'm the New Mother!

I wish I had thought about blogging sooner because I would have had so much information about my new motherhood from birth to present. But it's cool, I'm not going to grow any worry lines over that one.

My husband and I had our son, Desmond, on January 7, 2011. He was 5lbs 13oz and 20 inches long. I swear I thought I was looking at myself being born all over again! He looked just like me. My poor husband was so sad that our son didn't look like him. Deep down I was saying, "Shoot, I carried him for 9 months, he better come out looking like some part of me!" Truthfully, I think he is a great combination of his father and myself. Love you hubby! He looks like you baby, don't worry! ;-)

So it's been 5 months since I have moved into the motherhood and I feel so welcomed! My son (I call him Desi, Desi Pooh, Desi-kins, Gummi Bear...oh you get the point, right?) is so beautiful and he is growing so fast. I cleared out all of his newborn clothing around his 3 month birthday and nearly had a total emotional breakdown. My baby's growing up! I'm so not ready for that, but I know it is inevitable so I gotta brace myself for it.

Being a first-time mommy is amazing. I am so happy that I have the priviledge of taking care of this beautiful little life God has given me. Just looking into my baby's eyes and seeing my own eyes is so utterly breathtaking. I don't want to be anywhere else but where I am right now. Of course, I can stand a little break or two here and there because things can get pretty hectic and if I am not careful, I can forget all about me. Like somedays I'm saying to myself, "did I even wash my face?" I stay at home with Desi, so it's pretty easy to forget that sometimes. Oh, speaking of staying home, mommies if you have the opportunity to stay home with your child, take full advantage. It's nothing like waking up to the beaming eyes of your child in the morning and not having to rush out the door to head to work. If you and your significant other can work things out financially to make that happen, go for it.

I am probably going all over the place with this blog, but who needs structure at 1:00 in the morning? There are so many things I want to talk about and I will try to make things more structured. I won't make any promises on that. So if ya don't like where I'm going with this post (speaking on structure), don't follow me (kindly speaking). I don't want you to feel like you're wasting your time. LOL! Anyway, I can't wait to post more, but for now, I got to close my eyes before Desi starts searching for mommy's milk. I hope to hear from some of the mommies out here in the motherhood. Please feel free to post a comment.

Night Night!!!

Poop Catcher

Hello!! I've been gone for a while, but for good reason. I was studying for my state exam for my insurance license. I passed! I am now licensed to write and sell auto and home policies. Woo hoo! So I got my life back. Hubby was so great during this time. He took care of everything and supported me tremendously. Now, Desi was supportive as well. He would join in on my studies. "Want to study with chew mommy," he would say. When I passed, he said "Good job mommy! So proud of you!" (of course daddy coached him). It just warmed my heart. Anyway,  I have to share this hilarious story with you all. One night, earlier last week, we are trying to get Desi to poop in the toilet.  He just refused to sit his little butt down on the seat. We knew he had to poop, so we really wanted him to get on the toilet. My husband was speaking with his mother on the phone and she heard the commotion. She suggested that we just let him go pamperless for the night before going to bed. T

So Emotional

I am all over the place this week. My emotions are running wild and my eating is out of control! No I'm not preggers, I'm just trying to put up with a visitor (ya'll know what I'm talking about). I wish I could take a vaca with myself during these times because I hate being around people. I can be mean. The men of my house experience my wrath more than anyone else. My poor Desi was so mad with me today because I was so impatient with him. He said, "tell my daddy on You! I told him to go on and tell his daddy. He just seems to pull on that nerve a little more around this time. Not only do I have to deal with a visitor today, I have to deal with allergies! My eyes are swollen, I can't breathe and I feel like if I sneeze one more time I'm gonna scream. With all of that being said, my poor baby didn't really have fun with mommy today. We fussed at each other all night. I felt like I wanted to cry because all I wanted was a little break and I couldn't

Self Discovery

I just discovered something about myself. I am not as confident in myself as I thought I was. I went to dinner with my cousin and a few other family members the other night. We were discussing each other's personality. My beautiful and very talented cousin mentioned that I am one that second guesses myself. She then gives an example. She asked me to set up the gift baskets for her product line (Endless Touch). I take on the task and proceed to ask her how she would like it set up. Although it is nice that I asked, but she was extremely busy. I should have just taken the initiative and dressed those baskets up with confidence. She is 100% right and hearing her say it out loud confirmed my suspicions about myself. It was all clear. When she asked me to set those baskets up, I had an idea of how I would have liked it to look, but I didn't believe that idea would be received well, so I asked for her vision instead. This is just an example on a smaller scale. Not only do I do this
