Really. Bad. Blogger.

Well folks, the title says it all! But right now I'm making a decision to be better about blogging. As in, blog more consistently! The past three months I've been in a time warp known as new mommy-hood. It's an amazing, beautiful, somewhat scary, oh so rewarding roller coaster ride. Motherhood is everything I thought it would be, and so much more.
One thing I have loved about being a new mom are the insta-friends you get when you tell other moms that you just had your first baby. Some women hate unsolicited advice, but I LOVE it because I'm in total agreeance that it takes a village to raise a child. The more people that love and care for a baby the better!
I love going to the grocery store with Ethan in tow and seeing the "I remember when mine was that small" look on other moms' faces. I feel like I'm a member of an exclusive club with endless members all with the same goal of having happy, complete kids. One of my *favorite* quotes is "A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on." (Carl Sandburg) I feel so privileged that He blessed me with Ethan despite my slim odds of being able to conceive.

So now it's on to the "rest of life" and raising this little man. I'm now back at work full time and still love my job. Only now I feel my conscience continuously tugging me toward home where my baby is.
I've also started *trying* to get back into shape. This is something I underestimated while pregnant. I had heard so many women complain of how hard it is to lose the baby weight, but I HAD NO IDEA. There's this thing I affectionately call my "apron" that hangs onto my belly like a stubborn tick. I joined the gym three weeks ago and try and make it there at least three times a week. My endurance is getting better, but this stupid apron won't go anywhere. IT SUCKS. But is so incredibly worth it. :-) So anyway, look forward to reading blogs about stubborn weight loss.
Well, I've got to get back to work. My goal is to post at least one blog this weekend (in the hopes that my husband WHO ROCKS fixes our internet at home). Until then, happy living!
