3 months since I gave birth to the most amazing little boy. He continues to amaze me every day. All the revelations God gave me while I was pregnant about him are being revealed to me as he grows and his personality is developing.
I knew that he would be very strong willed, and he is very determined to get what he wants...but at the same time, he is fairly patient and always happy. He is so smiley, and just started laughing out loud. He has been sleeping alot better too (9 hours the other night!), but we are trying to wean him out of being swaddled to sleep for long periods of time. He still ends up in our bed every morning...even though he sleeps pretty much the whole night in his, still in our room though. I am not sure when I will be ready to have him sleep in his own room. Lance jokes that we have this beautiful crib that he will never use, but we both really love having him in our room.
Every day is a blessing. I wake up every day to a smiling baby, and get to watch him grow and learn new things every day. I am blessed to be able to stay home with him for the time being, and I know God is going to continue to provide so I can stay home permanantley.
I started my Pampered Chef business and so far we (my mom is helping) are doing great! I am excited about this opportunity and look foward to learning and growing more confident with it. If anyone wants to get free products and have a fun day/night with family and friends, let me know! :)
So thats my little update for this month!

C-section
For a while I was really upset about having to have a C-section. If you know me, you know I am all about natural birth and truly wanted that unique experience. But as time went on I came to realize I am blessed to have had a C-section. It brought my baby here safely, and it saved our lifes. Without that C-section, and that scar, there would be no Judah, and no Tina. I read this on someone elses page, its beautiful and is exactly how I feel about my birth experience.
"C-section scars are very unique. They are the only type of scar that is instantly recognizable. They are the only scar thats creation saves two lifes instead of one. And they are a physical sign of a Mother's willingness to do anything for her children - even go under the knife.
A cesearean scar is a reminder that all the planning in the world cant make things go the way you want them to. For those who avoided stretch marks it can be a physical reminder of how your body sheltered and grew a baby for all those months. And its a souviner of one of the happiest days of a mother's life."
I can honestly say that even though I have some strech marks (Judah marks I call them) and a scar, I love my new body, because it is a reminder of the miracle that happened. God allowed my body to safely carry and nourish a sweet baby boy. With the next one I will attempt a VBAC, but if I had to have another C-section it would not be the worse thing ever, because in the end, you still get this amazing little gift, a child.
Thank you Jesus for my son and his safe arrival. Without the help of modern medicine we would not be here, so we also thank you for the Dr's and their wisdom to know how to perform a c-section. We also thank you for our wonderful midwifes and their judgement. It has been an amazing experience, and we can't wait to do it again!
