TAT: How Has Life Changed?

How has life changed since I had a baby? 


How hasn't it! People always say that life is never the same after a baby is born and I have to agree. So here are some things that have changed in our family.
  • I use to work now I stay home
  • I use to love playing with other peoples kids and baby's but now I just want to enjoy my time with my son.
  • I still love teaching (previous job) but now love it even more because I see what my child is learning.
  • My hubby and I are more cautious about how we talk to each other so we can set a good example for our children on what marriage should be.
  • My whole circle of friends. Now I'm friends with other mom's that stay home and have kids my son's age so they can all play together.
  • TV doesn't run our household. We spend time outside enjoying discovering new things to do.
  • Our livingroom floor is always coated with a layer of toys. I swear even after we clean up it only takes a few minutes for all the toys to reappear.
I love my family! I wouldn't change it for anything. I can't wait until Pilot gets here and we get to learn how to expand our family and I get to see him grow just as I am with Rex. I would take this life with kids any day over going to work and teach other people's kids all day.

    Staying home to raise my kiddos has been, by far, the best decision I've ever made. It hasn't always been easy on our pocket book, but I wouldn't trade the opportunity for anything in the world. We're a no TV family too:) Great post!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug

My Pregnancy Story with Monkey

So I have one of those crazy "I didn't know I was pregnant" stories. Yes I didn't know I was pregnant until I was pretty far along but I will get to that.  In May 2008 we picked up and moved out of state. At this time we had been completely off birth control for 2 years and nothing. We also found out when we first started trying that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)  which basically meant "good luck getting pregnant". We decided that we would start the adoption process if we were not pregnant by the time we were 30 so we had a few years (still do actually! Yeah God!) So we were just enjoying life in Oklahoma and enjoying the small town life. Every Sunday morning we would walk down the street and enjoy breakfast at Selena's, we'd sit on our front porch and talk with the neighbors, and visit family in town at least once a week. Starting close to October I started feeling like something was wrong with me so I went to the OU campus in Tu
