9 Weeks

Well our baby girl is 9 weeks old today can't believe how time has flown by. SUPER EXCITED for thanksgiving and for Christmas.  We are going to decorate the house tomorrow for Christmas i'm can't wait stay tune for many many pictures.  Well till then i will leave you with a few pictures of my beautiful little miss Skyla.

Sleeps just like her mama lol

The breath you take

You know I have always loved country music and i have come to realize that as a mother i love it even more.  I find a deeper meaning in the songs and I find myself relating more to the music.  My own mother pointed this song out to me recently and it makes me think of Skyla and all the things that she is going to do in this life or hers and how no matter what i will always be there for her, no matter what I have to do that is one promise I will always have for her. NO MATTER WHAT HER MOMMY WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.  The reason I feel this is so important is because I have witnessed parents not being there for their children and it breaks my heart.  In life there should always be at least two people that you can count on NO MATTER WHAT and I have realized that not everyone is lucky enough to have that in there lifes like I have.  My parents did anything and everything for me and they always encouraged me to do anything and everything in life that makes me happy and I thank them for that for they have made me the woman, wife, friend and mother that i am today.  THANK YOU MOM AND DAD.

George Strait "The breath you take"
He looks up from second base dad’s up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide there ain’t no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game he said
“Dad I thought you had a plane to catch”
He smiled and said “Yeah son I did”

Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
Try’n to win the race
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Fast forward fifteen years
And a thousand miles away
Boy’s built a life he’s got a wife
And a baby due today
He hears a voice saying “I made it son
He said “I told you dad you didn’t have to come”
He smiles and says ”Yeah I know you did”


Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
Try’n to win the race
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when dad took his last that morn

Life’s not the breaths you take
The breathing in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain’t what it’s all about
Ya just might miss the point
If ya don’t slow down the pace
Life’s not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away.

Eight Weeks

Skyla after her first shopping trip with Grandma Jessie at the mall :)

Well miss Skyla turn 8 weeks old this week.  She is so amazing, the things that she is learn and starting to do makes it hard to believe that she is only 8 weeks old.

This week has been a trial on me as a new mom .... I have realized that it is ok for me to take time for me and get back to being Vanessa not just Skylas mom and it is good for my whole family that i do that.  I'm getting back to being a young 25 year old woman, a wife to a wonderful man and father, a daughter to wonderful parents who love and care for myself and my whole family no matter what, a friend to my wonderful friends who have been there for me and
my family to help with whatever we need at a moments notice.  While doing all of this I am loving learning with Skyla and seeing her grow and discover new things.  Being a mom is amazingly rewarding, to love someone so much that you would never let anything happen to them and seeing the love that they have for you in just one look or a smile not having to hear the words is more wonderful than I could ever explain.  I can't wait to see the woman she grows into and I can't wait for the adventures of being Skylas MOM.

Well I will be returning to work next week for one week only, but I will be working 7 days straight :( I would be lieing if I said I wasn't nervous and maybe even a little scared. It will be a great trial for January to see if I will be able to leave my beautiful little girl for 8 - 10 hours a day, If not i guess Daddy and I will have to figure something out ... :) hehehehe.

I was finally able to make it back to the gym yesterday with Adam and it felt so wonderful.  The stress relief i get from the gym is more powerful than I remember.  Well that is my rant for today, I promise i will keep up on this blog more often I know i have been slacking.  Till then.

Seven weeks Old

Well today marks Skyla being seven weeks old.  it's crazy to think that she will be two months old next week. Well here are some pics of the growing beauty.....

Six Weeks Old

I know I know i haven't been updating this like i should.  Skyla is now six week old and doing amazing she is growing so fast i can't believe it.

Our family has gone through a lot this week.  Daddy went back to work :( so we have been adjusting to a new routine of just baby and I, to say it is exhausting is a understatement. I feel bad for Adam and the baby because now they don't spend as much time together and she misses her Daddy, she can be asleep and i say his name and she wakes up :( breaks my heart.  It also makes me think about the things we are both going to miss when i go back to work, which is making me work harder at finishing school.  so that we aren't away from her as long.

My mom also had surgery this week which thankfully went great she is home recovering and doing great. Well i will update more tomorrow which is Skylas 7 week birthday :). Hope everyone has a wonderful day and enjoys the cold weather cause we love it.
