Tired oh so tired

Well, Tarren has confused his days and his nights. He is out during the day and I mean out. It doesn't matter what we do to him he will not wake up and if he does...he is alseep in a matter of seconds. Around 10:00 at night, he is wide awake and he stays that way until 9:00 in the morning. He might drift here and there, but the minute I get up to put him to bed...his eyes pop open. I know they say, sleep when they sleep, but for some reason I have a hard time sleeping after 12:00 noon. I am looking forward to the time when he sleeps for longer than three hours at a time.


On Sunday, we went to College Station to have family dinner at Daniel's. We rotate houses every fourth Sunday of the month. It was neat to see the three stages of babies. Brayden is 20 months, Joseph is 6 months and Tarren is 5 weeks. Brayden is a mover, Joseph is a sitter upper and Tarren he is just a lay and do nothinger ( I know it isn't a word, but it describes him good). It was cute, Brayden and Joseph were giving each other hugs. It was lots of fun.
On Memorial Day, we did nothing. We just stayed inside all day and watched movies and hung out. It was nice to have Spencer home all day. He took over the baby duties for the day.


Yesterday was our two year anniversary. I can't believe it has been two years already. It goes so fast! We went out to dinner, but we have decided to celebrate our anniversary in June. Tarren will be 2 months by then and he will get to spend the weekend at grandma's house. We are planning on heading to San Antonio to go camping, go to the riverwalk and spend a day at Six Flags. Last time we went to a fair or a place that had rollercoasters, I could not ride them because I was pregnant. So, I am looking forward to the fun.


Well, I better try and take a nap while I have a chance. The late night hours are starting to catch up to me.

Ok...so I thought I would try out the new craze

Well, I know that the thing now is blogging. So, I thought I would give it a try and see how I like it.

When I got married, I knew my life would be different. It was more than different it was fantastic! I had someone to share my ever waking moment with and every thought, emotion(good or bad), and idea I have ever had. When I decided to get married, it was the best decision of my life! We easily adjusted to married life and became used to how things were. We did what we wanted whenever we wanted, this includes sleeping, eating, exercising, watching movies, etc.

When we decided to have a baby, we knew our lives would be different. However, we did not realize how different. I mean, we knew that we would have sleepless nights, long days and times we went without eating, but we never realize the extent of it. When I am awake at three in the morning feeding our little boy, I can't help but think how blessed we are to have this little precious child. Our lives are different, but they are different in a good way! We have to try and plan when we can sleep, eat and just relax with each other, but it makes it even more desirable to be together. We love our little Tarren and would not change our decision for the world!
