Team Parenting

Have you ever heard the saying it takes a village to raise a child? Yup it sure does.

It is hard though to let go of the reigns and let someone take a load of your plate. Especially for us control freak moms! Well tomorrow at this time I will be eating lunch at my desk, while my husband drops the baby off to my mother. Back to work already, where has the last two months gone? Thank God for my husband and mother, without them who knows where we would be. Probably an insane asylum somewhere.

As a trial run last Friday my husband and I spent the first night away from the baby for a friends wedding. After the initial leaving I must say I impressed myself and kept crazy momma away for most of the night. She made a couple appearances while trying to pump and still be part of the party. (A main reason why I hate leaving the baby-fully loaded boobs!) I was surprised at my ability to keep it together. My track record was not so good! It helps to have such supportive girlfriends. Oh and thank you for the MILF compliments...hahaha! Coming home was sweet serendipity.

Now tomorrow is the real test. Not only am I anxious, I am starving! I started my weight watchers plan yesterday. Whew Jennifer Hudson made it look so easy. We are going grocery shopping today for all the healthy ingredients. Although I refuse to cook, my husband is totally on board and has sweetly volunteered to pre-fix my meals. I have a gem of a husband. My first goal is to be back to pre-baby weight, which means I have ten pounds to go. My heaviest with baby was 240!!! I am happily at 186. I just wish I could fit into my jeans again. I am still in maternity pants, but they are swimming on me and I have to walk around pulling them up constantly as if I have a load of poop in my pants.

Unfortunately, not to many hysterical stories this week. We took a trip to the Easter bunny for a quick pic. Boy do the mall bunnies rob you blind. You think I am crazy enough to pay $40 for a picture of my 2 month old on some creepy looking guy's lap dressed in a bunny suit. Well okay I'd pay for $30. Hah! The lady was trying her hardest to get Karson to smile. I watched her for a couple minutes & then decided it was time to tell her he literally just started smiling and it is never on demand. I thought what a loon, then damn it if she didn't make a fool out of me. The little booger cracked a smile! He loves to prove me wrong already, takes after his father.

On a personal note. I have decided to wait until fall semester to continue with school. Right now life is way to hectic and we are not on a very solid schedule yet. To tell you the truth I could kiss school goodbye, but I know if I wanna make the big bucks once the kids are in school I gotta get over it and just do it...again!

I have soooo many pictures of my guy and they are already collecting. All this time off and everyday I have meant to start his scrapbook and everyday I never get a minute to. I figure by the time he gets married at least his first two months on this planet will be completed. I always wondered what stay at home moms do all day. Of course I thought must be nice. Hahaha. Yeah right. Hardest job of all ladies & gents. If you aren't one then you wouldn't understand. We are in our own little club- and I'm only a part timer. With that said, here's a big "Hey Girl" to all the mommas out there! Your doing a bang up job!

Holy hell just finished a microwaveable smart ones dinner, sesame chicken. Very delish! Totally recommend.  Have to cut the therapy session short, gotta pump & pick up the babes. Boy is he getting very connected to me. Sorry Dad!

Talk to you guys next time!
