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...

Heart of the Matter

I am sick and do not know why. I have been dealing with some serious symptoms. I have always dealt with extreme fatigue but in the past 2 years it has become nearly debilitating. I find it hard to do simple things like grocery shopping or doing chores around the house or walking up the steps or putting my clothes on. I experience extreme fatigue with these activities and it usually takes me a day or two to recoup. I have dizziness, and heart palpitations. I have recently experienced chest pain. It wasn't until I started having chest pains during sex when I decided it was time to take a visit to the doctor. My doctor advised that this could be something related to my heart. Since visiting the doctor, I have had blood tests that show I am healthy and I recently did a stress test and 2D Echo that showed my heart was fine. I immediately felt like a fool and quickly reasoned that this was possibly in my head. I have an angiogram scheduled for tomorrow but I don't think anything will...

Worried Father

The other day, Desi, my husband and myself were at my cousin's house visiting her and her two beautiful baby girls. Of course, all of the toys there were girly toys. Okay, so you get where I'm going with this right? The grown ups were talking in the kitchen when, all of a sudden, Desi runs in holding a Dora doll and a barbie doll. My poor husband was visibly horrified by the scene. I gave him that reassuring look and when Desi left, I said, "honey, it's okay. He doesn't know any different." Chris shook his head and disapprovingly said, "No, honey, those are dolls. He's playing with dolls."  My cousin and I just laughed. At Desi's age, a little boy playing with "girlie" toys is not really an issue. They are attracted to the colors. Also, look at the circumstances, he was in a house full of chicks. At home, he is all into his cars, airplanes and trains. Desi is fine and so are all the other little boys in the world that may be attra...
