A day in the life of me...

...original right? I just couldn't think of something clever and witty to simply say "Let me tell you about my day today"!

Anywho..I honestly can not believe it has been two months since Violet has arrived into our lives. It is funny...everytime you get pregnant you really dont believe there is an actual baby in there. Even when you are 40 weeks pregnant you still think that there is just a pizza inside of you..or maybe a couple of burgers...

but then you give birth and this baby comes out of you (whohaa or tummy) and you just keep staring wondering where THAT came from. It logically just does NOT make since. I can not wrap my head around the fact that we start out in a balloon filled with water and just come out. Pregnancy really is a miracle...

Well since giving birth to my little pizza things have been great. I was most concerned about breastfeeding not working like with Sophie..but it is amazing how different babies are. It also helps when you dont have crappy nurses breathing down your neck to give your 5 lb baby a bottle..because she is apparently "starving"...bullshit

I love my girls so much. i also expected them to be so similar and the difference is amazing. My Sophie is the most energetic, spunky, OCD, gorgeous little girl I have ever seen. She has developed this new sense of cleanliness that Jared and I wonder if she belongs to us. If she so much as gets a droplet of water on her shirt she will screa, "I messy" until we change her shirt. Another cute thing is Sophie has picked up breakdancing. I have no clue where she gets this either. We turned on Happy feet 2 and she immediately got on the floor and did some crazy dance moves..it was cute. Oh and one more thing..if we tell her to dance the "Robot" she thinks we are saying "Ro-butt" and will stick her little tush out and shake it.....I love her

Violet is such a calm baby. Her life consists of nursing (a million times) crapping a million times..and smiling up at us. Oh..she is such a smily baby..it is unbearable. It is even cuter when sheflashes her toothless gums..hurts my uterus.

All in all..life is great...

Grudges

This is in no way towards someone or something personal in my life. I hear a lot from different people about how they plan to hold this grudge or someone else is holding a grudge and I tend to say the same thing to them "who gives a crap..they aren't worth it then", but with two beautiful children it tends to make me feel the later. Becoming a parent really brings some serious emotions to you. So here it is:

You only live once...make sure that grudge you are holding is really worth it.

First horrible day as a mom to two...

I knew it would eventually happen..why kid myself right? As a mom to two..two and under I expected this day to come..it came today.

It started early in the morning when my lovely husband thought he would let me sleep in before we had to leave. He had good intentions..but 20 minutes to nurse baby, get dressed, and get Sophie ready for preschool..is just NOT possible. After we dropped daddy off at work (his car is in the shop) we went to take Sophie to preschool. After I dropped Sophie off, baby Violet and I made a Starbucks run..which was VERY needed. I needed to run errands up North and called my mother to go up there with us. So we hung out for awhile before we picked up Sophie to go up North for shopping. Our first destination was Toys R Us...and it went pretty well until we got out ot the car. Violet was hungry and decided to nurse. As soon as she started nursing she made a massive shit with the loudest noise possible. She was under my nursing cover so I had no idea how made it was. Lets just say..shit should not make it up to your neck. So I had to do wipe bath in the back of my car and a complete change. We then went over to World Market to shop. As soon as we entered the store Violet decided since she emptied all of the contents in her stomach she was still hungry. So I pulled an awesome mom move and nursed her WHILE pushing the cart. My mom had the other cart with Sophie who apparently decided it was time to be a pain in my ass as well. She started throwing things from the cart to the ground and kicking my mother in the knees. It was really hard tohard to shop with no hands and my two year old making sure I looked like the worlds worst mother..gotta love her. After we left that store we ventured to Costco. What can go wrong at Costco right?  Free food testers and awesome stuff to look at? Well my mom went off while I took Sophie to go potty and get a hotdog as I was starving. We waited in line FOREVER for a hotdog only to find out they didnt take debir card..only cash. We then had to wait forever in the ATM line and then BACK in the hotdog line some more. The whole time Sophie is trying to dance in circles around me and yank my shoulder out of socket. We finally get the hotdog and waters and as soon as we sit down Sophie throws her water on the ground and ALL over this poor old lady who is checking her blood sugar...awesome..not. Fastforward to check out line...Violet ( my chubby hungry bear) decides she is still hungry (45 minutes later) and screams her head off while we are paying for our items. As Im trying to concole her Sophie decided it was time to take a nose dive out of the shopping cart..luckily I caught her just in time for everyone to stare at me in pity haha. Either that ir they were staring thinking I was crazy. We finally get in the car to nurse and Jared thinks thats an appropriate time to call my cell phone haha. At the same time my mom gives Sophie a chocolate muffin to keep her calm while we feed Violet and she gives us a cute smirk as she smears the muffin all over her face and hair...and then giggles.

Needless to say, I love my children..but good lord this is going to be a LONG 18 years.
