New chapter, new blog!

Well here we go! It's been a long time since I last opened my blogger account. I guess I just got too caught up in my hectic little life. A lot has changed since I last posted on the old blog. We bought a home, a new car, and oh yeah i made another tiny human! We just recently welcomed our second son, Elijah Lee to the family. He is so sweet and perfect. I am probably just biased, but jeeze I make some cute babies! The sad thing is, I am only two months post partum and my ovaries are already screaming at me to reproduce again. Yeah nope! I say that now, but I do want a little girl. I am surrounded and outnumbered in my own home. I need some pink in my life! All in all things have been great. Its definitely been stressful, adjusting to having two little boys vs. one. It's been hard on Ryder as well. He is so used to being the center of attention. Now all of a sudden he has to share mommy and daddy. It has taken time but he is finally settling into our new routine and way of life.

I just recently got back into the groove of things. Elijah has been the polar opposite of Ryder. Elijah has mild colic and pretty bad acid reflux. Imagine the exorcist only smaller and way cuter. We just recently had to put him on acid reflux meds. Which thankfully seems to help. I also saved money and bough a Tula. For those of you who do not know what that is, you should. Especially if your a mother to little ones. It is a gift from god! I swear it must be stitched together by angels themselves. It works miracles. I was completley unable to get simple house hold chores done before. Elijah demanded to be held comstantly. Poor little guy just didnt feel good. My hands were never free to get anything done. If you have known me for any length of time you know I cant sit still. I have to be up and moving. I am a HUGE clean freak. I am constanly scrubbing, washing, or polishing somthing. It killed me having a messy house. I was grumpy and irritable, I am just one of those people who cant relax unless there surroundings are pristeen. Which let me tell you. with boys is hard to accomplish. That was all until the Tula came to live with us. A Tula is an ergonomic baby carrier. Its kind of like a baby back pack. To be honest I used to look down on moms wearing there children every where. I though it was ridiculous. I would think to my self, why on earth would they want there kiddos glued to them like that. I love my babies, dont get me wrong, but i need space. Or so I thought. I look back and oh boy do I feel ignorant. I was SO,SO wrong. Baby wearing is the best thing a mother like me can do! I just strap him in and im good to go! My hands are free to clean, prepare meals, and play with my two year old. It is seriously the best invention ever, and now im totally addicted. I ordered the spotted love print which is super adorable. Its black, grey, white, and yellow. It has the cutest smiling giraffes all over it. I am in love with it. I also have a stoney opal ring sling on reserve until pay day. Trust me fellow mommies. If you havent given baby wearing a shot you should. Dont knock it until you try it.
