Accept yourself. Love yourself just as you are. Your finest work, your best movements, your joy, peace, and healing come when you love yourself. You give a great gift to the world when you do that. You give others permission to do the same: to love themselves. Revel in self love. Roll in it. Bask in it, as you would the sunshine."
Quote found here. 

 Sometimes I just need a reminder.  

I love my life, my family, my job, my husband, my baby, myself.

thanks to everyone for helping make the day so special. we have the best family and friends. love you all!

found THIS today and it made me smile and feel better.

although they didn't talk about the mastitis which leads to yeast infected for me and the baby which again will lead to yet another case of mastitis right before you have to go back to work. its fine.

it was worth it. seriously. how cute is this face?

it just makes me feel better to know i'm not alone.

pictures.

just want to share some pictures. yea, i've been having a hard time be

tween stitches, mastitis, and now thrush. but it was all worth it because of this darling face!

This one was taken on his one month birthday!

He LOVES his swing.

We LOVE this baby and just can't get enough of him.

my birthday

i have the best husband. he made my birthday so special. we went to go look for houses in the morning and then i went to lunch with the girls and came home to this.

I know right?!? isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen!? So cute!

Then i took a nap and then we took O to Eric's parents house and went to dinner and movie. it was a great day! Thanks babe! Best. Birthday. Ever.

Oh yea. And he got me this awesome birthday girl sign! :)

AND my kids asked me to come to school the 9th so they could throw me a birthday party.

They are so stinkin cute! It was fun to see them and my friends but made me realize that i'm SOOO not ready to go back yet....

before the babe

Ok i have some catching up to do. Here (quickly) is our update and some pictures. Eric is so great and putting pictures on his computer (thanks to our new camera) so I will post pictures. This wouldn't happen if he left it to me.

This is me right before I had the baby. Sorry I don't know how to make the pictures smaller.

Every week during my pregnancy I went to In-N-Out. I just love it, I can't help it. (Don't worry, I still have kept the tradition alive even though I'm not pregnant anymore). So, fittingly, I chose it for my "last supper" and our Valentines date before we went to the hospital that night to get induced. It was so weird thinking that the next day we would have an addition to our little family.

After In-N-Out we went to see The Vow and then went home and exchanged Valentine's presents, packed, and went to the hospital! This is us leaving for the hospital! Our last time with our baby inside of me. :)

Right after we took this picture our camera died and we didn't have the charger so we didn't get any at the hospital until my mom came the next day.

And there you have it.
