I have been excited to post this one for a while. It has been 6 years and 3 months in the making...
 Here are my 3 little men from 1 month to 12 months!

 

Nothing says I love you like a pair of sneakers...

Ryan bought me running shoes for Valentine's Day, and while that might seem like an unconventional present, I truly love them. My old pair of runners, were just that...old. And in the fall I stepped in dog poo while raking leaves (I might add we do NOT have a dog...was not impressed with that one) and they were ruined. This served as a good excuse to buy a new pair, but I wasn't willing to just go out and buy some.
I was totally surprised when I opened the box! I have now jogged 4 days in a row and hope that this becomes an addictive habit for me. And of course when I am more active, it also helps me make better choices with what I eat. So here's hoping the combination adds to a fantastic body! LOL
The weight that I gained with my 3rd baby is not disappearing as it did with the others. That's not to say I was skinny after the other two, but I got down to a much more comfortable weight in a faster time period. I decided to blog about it to just put it out there and hope it provides me some inspiration to keep going. My goal is obviously to lose weight, but I would like to be able to run 5k in 30min by the end of May.

Happy Birthday

I truly cannot believe a year has passed.  I've now done this first birthday thing 3 times, but I don't remember feeling this surreal with the other two.
I sat looking at his hospital pictures last night and it's hard to believe that's what I was doing last night. I looked at the time stamp of each of them and it was neat as a couple of them matched to what time it was when I was looking at them (sorry for the run on sentence lol)
But we made it, and are stronger for it.
Happy Birthday my sweet baby boy. You are truly a miracle.

12 Months!

Mmmm cake :)

What a year can do...
How do I sum up a whole year. This week I have been taken back to that last week of my pregnancy, how yesterday was supposed to be his birthday, but I'm so thankful that it's tomorrow. Now that a year has past, I'm so glad NONE (you can read between the lines on that one) of his little life was planned by us...but it was totally planned by God.

This beautiful perfect baby is all ours...
