Things To Do Before Getting Pregnant Again

What my dream stomach would look like

1. *Move out of this house
2. **Get skinny again
3. ***Brycen must be at least 1 year of age
4. ***Become a SAHM

*This isn't an absolute necessity, but I would much prefer it before getting pregnant.
**This is something I need to take care of to better myself. I want my next pregnancy to be better than this one. I know what to expect, and I don't want to weigh 242 lbs again.
***These are absolute requirements. I don't want to miss out on Brycen being a little baby. I also don't want to figure out working schedules when the next baby comes home. What we have now is great, but the daycare nightmare we had before can't repeat. I don't want to work PT, but the money is needed right now. If we move out of our house, it'll be because my hubby has re-enlisted in the USMC.

My New Hobby: Getting Baby to Smile

I know it's lame, but getting my son to grin at me is my favorite new activity! I don't know if it's emotions or perhaps the way I was raised (in a broken home), but when I'm alone with B and he smiles, I get teary eyed. Luckily, he just sees me smiling and ignores the tears running down my face. I honestly don't want to cry when he smiles, but each time it hits me with such a force. He's all mine. He was a gift from God. Somehow, he chose me to be his mommy.

I really believe he chose my hubby and I to be his parents. I prayed for him before we started trying to conceive. I prayed for our future child to choose us when he/she felt we were ready to be parents. He timed everything perfectly considering we share the same birthday.

No matter how unhappy I might be with my current living situation, I let it all fall away when I look at my son. Sometimes, his look back to me makes me wonder if he's looking through his infant eyes with an adult mind. I wonder sometimes if perhaps when we die, we're allowed to go back in time to look out into our old memories --sort of like time traveling. When he looks deeply into my eyes, he could easily be trying to see what his mom was like when she first started being a parent.

My Baby and Fatbooth!

Fatbooth app using my baby boy

I can't stop cracking up with this picture! I saw Fatbooth was used by a friend on facebook, so I downloaded it for free on my Droid. After taking a picture of myself, my husband asked that I try our son. I'm sure he'll hate me for this later, but it's just so gosh darn cute and funny!
