Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome to my first official blog post.  I've been interested in starting a blog for a while now. Thanks to the many social networks available, I've found myself following a few blogs, and thought to myself, I love to talk about myself and what's going on in my life, so why not start my own..so here it is.  With the name being 'And Baby Makes 3' you could have guessed it's going to focus primarily on my family and what's going on in our lives, but I'm sure I'll throw in a few odds and ends here and there.

Let me get you up to date with my life as of now.  I got married in March 2010 to my long-time love, David and we found out we were expecting just shortly before.  While this wasn't  how we planned to get married, we decided that a quick ceremony would be the best thing for us at the time, and we promised each other a real ceremony and reception would be in the works for the following year.  Something we've both learned since having baby is--you can't always plan your life out like you could pre-baby!  We purchased a condo in Waterloo in March and baby Syrie came in September on 9/16/10.  She is the love of our lives, and the biggest, most important thing to happen to us, to date.

Syrie was welcomed home by our first child, our cat, Hermes. He didn't care too much about her, but I think he's starting to warm up to the idea of sharing his space with someone who quickly grew to his size, and more.  For any of you pet lovers, gone parents out there, you know how hard it is to go from giving your un-divided attention to your pet, to barely getting to see the little guy when you come home for work.  I know he notices a difference and we do our best to give him treats, toys and love, but it's really hard to give the same attention post baby!  We love you Hermes!

We recently booked our trip to Jamaica to renew our vows on 09/10/11!! That's right, we're getting the wedding (sort of) we dreamed of.  September 2011 will be a busy month with the first weekend being a holiday, the second weekend we'll be in Jamaica, the third weekend is Syrie's 1st birthday and the last weekend my aunt gets married.  A short two weeks later we will have a reception for the wedding we never had.  I've gotten some grief over having a reception in October, people saying things like 'it doesn't make much sense considering you weren't married then or around then', and what I say to them is- the original plan was to have a destination wedding in September, come back, and have a reception, but we didn't get to do it the way we planned, so we're making up for it.  I keep telling myself if they have such a problem with it, they don't need to come:)  Hopefully for the most part things work out as well as planned. So far everything else in our lives has.  Sometimes it seems a little too good to be true.  Sort of like I'm waiting for it all to come crashing down.  Let's hope that's just my pessimism coming through.

Her First Overnighter

As many of you have already heard, Syrie had her first overnight stay in the hospital at just under 7 months old.  While it's not what I was expecting Wednesday morning when I was advised to bring her in by her Doctor after finding out she had a high temp, I suppose I should just be grateful it turned out to be nothing.  I've always been one to look at things in the way that, if I'm going to go through all this hassle, there better be a good reason for it, dang it!  At least that's how I always looked at this sort of thing when it happened to me.  Now that I have someone else to worry about, I think about things a little differently, but the thought is always in the back of my mind-some things/attitudes are hard to change. Before Wednesday I really had no idea what a high temperature for a child was.  Since this fiasco, I've learned that babies can stay home with a much higher temp then my little miss endured.  All I knew was that my doctor's nurse told m...

Finished the Cleanse!

Day 9 (Monday): Beginning Day 8 I had to take the Peaches n Cream Fiber Drink again and will have to until the cleanse is over (Tuesday).   Man, I did NOT miss that stuff. It’s so disgusting to me. I almost threw it back up this morning. I know I can do it one more day, but jeez that stuff is nasty.   I’m wondering if this is something I’ll have to take for the remainder of the 24 Day Challenge. I guess I hadn’t thought or looked that far ahead, so I really don’t know. It’s no fun when you hear people cracking open a can of soda or smell someone cooking something in the microwave at work. It just makes me appreciate all the things I was allowed to have before.   I’m such a Debbie Downer through this process, but that’s because food is my life.   Some people enjoy exercising, others enjoy reading.   The thing in life that makes me happiest (outside of family and friends) is food.   I love food.   I realize though, that in order to really keep...

Blood Diamond? Try Gassy Diamond.

With all the weddings in the coming months I decided I better start tanning so that I don't look ghostly in my dresses.  Having a baby makes tanning a little more difficult, so I figured I would squeeze it in on my lunch break, and went for the first time in a long time yesterday.  I typically don't wear jewelry when I go in a tanning bed, but because of the time crunch I decided to leave my wedding ring on.  While getting toasty in the bed I looked down at my ring and under the UV lights to my surprise, the far left diamond on my ring was bright blue--not just the top, but the sides, the entire thing!  I panicked and my mind immediately raced back to February when I got my bands soldered to my engagement ring, and I went home to show David. His response to my ring was, "Your ring looks smaller.  You know, sometimes they switch out diamonds on people."  At the time I thought about it for a second, and then assured myself that that would never happen to me....
