Noah

So Noah is getting so big. He's started crawling backwards and almost crawled right off of my bed. It's weird how we have those motherly instincts that we are born with. I just opened my eyes and grabbed him before he fell. Of course he thought it was funny and he chuckled. I'm trying to teach him how to crawl the right way but he plops on his belly and kicks his feet and arms like he's going somewhere really fast. It makes him look like superman. Haha. I can't believe how much he's grown. He will be 6 months old on Wednesday. Where has time gone?

Today is THE day yippey!!!

It's finally here. We are going to the attorneys office today at 4pm to close on our house. I am so excited. We have so much to pay for out of this money. We have to pay my parents for the home, pay off all our credit cards, pay off all the vehicles, and all other debts. Then we have to put a new A/C unit in and switch the heat from gas to electric, put up a fence, and build new porches. I foresee this being a busy winter. We also have a bunch of little projects new toilets ect. I think what I'm most excited about is donating all of our old clothes and going out and getting new wardrobes. It is a must. Me and Keith haven't bought new clothes for each other in like 2 years. Plus winter is coming and Noah needs warm clothes.

Thank The Lord

Things have been getting so much better. Me and Keith are starting to feel like us again instead of just Mom and Dad. He's been really in tune with my feelings recently and that means the world to me. The little things that used to matter so much are finally back. Yesterday we were in the car and he grabbed my hand to hold it. Now we have held hands since we've had Noah but this time it was something different. It was a grab like, I'm so happy you're here. And then lastnight I was in the kitchen and he came home from a rescue call where a mom and her 2 yr old child had to be cut out of the car and then they were air lifted to another hospital and he went to the nursery where Noah was asleep and rubbed his face and cried then he came and grabbed me and held me as if to say "I don't ever want to let you go, then he kissed me on my forehead almost saying "I adore you." He began to tell me what had happened and how he had to carry this little boy and all he could think about was what if that was his family. Later I was sitting on the couch and he came to sit with me which is unusual because one of us is usually in the recliner and he snuggled with me. We later went to bed and well....ya know. Then all night sleeping he held me and it's been since having Noah since that's happened all night. After I had Noah he couldn't snuggle with me because it was just too much weight on me with my injuries from childbirth that it hurt and I guess we got out of the swing of things. I'm so glad that things are like they were. I guess sometimes couples get caught up in parenthood and forget who they really are. You can be a parent and be who you once were it just takes time to figure it out. We are so happy! We've always been happy with Noah but now we show it more I guess. I just needed extra attention and now I got it. Thank the Lord!

My Baby Is Growing Up

I can't believe it. Where has the last 4 months gone? My son is growing so fast. Each and every day he changes. I don't want to miss one single moment. He went from this little tiny bundle of joy, who slept most of the day and his fists were always balled up and his cry was so faint, to this slightly bigger bundle of joy, who is awake all the time, and his cry is SO loud, and he's rolling all around on the floor and he giggles, and notices things now and he's needing me less and less to entertain him. He truly amazes me. I can't help the fact that I feel he's growing so fast. It makes me want to have another baby. We might try for another one after Noah's 1st birthday. We're still on the fence about it. Either right after Noah's first birthday or a couple of years after. My husband said "maybe if we have another one, that one wont grow as fast." I just laughed. They all grow up too fast.

Leaving

So we're down to the wire now and we're getting ready to leave to go stay at my parent's house for the storm. This won't be the worst storm I've been through but now that we have Noah we aren't taking any chances. I'm trying to think of everything that I could possibly need for him to take over there. That's stressful. It's so hard because you don't think about that kind of stuff normally because everything is at home, but we'll manage. I have to admit, I'm kinda excited to be sleeping in my old room again. I miss being home sometimes.

Tropical Storm Hannah

So sometime this afternoon we are supposed to start getting some of the tropical storm named Hannah. Keith and I had to put everything in the shed yesterday afternoon to prepare for the storm. Of course there are still a few things outside that I have to put up still but I'm totally not motivated. Plus, my house already looks like a tornado hit it so what's the point of cleaning it now? :D Honestly, I just don't feel like doing much today. It's so gray outside and this kind of weather makes me want to curl up in bed and lay there all day. Of course, those days are over now that we have Noah. Noah keeps me extra busy now. He's 4 months old and he is requiring a lot of attention. He truly amazes me every day though.
