Life

Life with Rylee is amazing. I love her to pieces. Yes, we have our rough times, but it's all worth it. Being a mother is the hardest job in the world. But as we all know it is the most rewarding.

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a mom. The hard part was waiting until I considered myself old enough, and well off enough to be able to provide for a child. After I started dating James, I knew that I wanted to be with him forever, he is the love of my life. We had known each other for about 7ish years before we started dating. One of us was always in a relationship so we never thought about dating before. He broke up with his last girlfriend because she was a crazy, lol. A couple months later after we had been talking a lot more, he realized that the guy I was with was a jerk and found a way to help me out of a terrible relationship. We started dating a while later and things have been wonderful ever since. We decided about 2 months into our relationship that we'd like to have a baby together. We didn't tell anyone of our plans because I knew we'd be judged. We waited to start trying until the fall, figured we should at least wait a little while, and I really wanted a summer baby, so I counted out the approximate months and we started ttc in September and on our third cycle we got the BFP (big fat positive), right before Thanksgiving. We were so excited.
I think I'll stop here and pick up the story in another post later. :-)

Fair To Midland!

OMG!! James and I went to see them last night for his birthday. They were absolutely amazing!!! Such a fantastic show! I would love to see them again. The lead singer is sooo energetic! He was climbing all over everything, throwing himself into the crowd, throwing water bottles out into the crowd. It was crazy! You should look them up, they're not for everyone. Very "out-there". But amazing none the less! Check them out!

In other news, we got a crappy snow storm this week. I cannot wait for it to all melt. It's almost April. I'm ready for hot weather! I want to spend time outside with Rylee. I am so tired of being cooped up in the house. There's only just so much you can do, at least outside she'll get some fresh air, maybe help her sleep better.

I can't believe Rylee-bug is almost 8 months old! The time has gone by so quickly! She's still not crawling, but she tries. She'll walk if you hold her up and steady. She will talk your ear off, not in English, but in her own language. So stinkin' cute!

Well, I've gotta get ready for work, sadly. Daddy has gone to pick bug up from grandmas house. I hope he stops at work on his way home so I can see her! I miss her like crazy!! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

First Post!!

Hey there everyone!!!

This is my first attempt at blogging, so please bear with me until I get the hang of things. I'm going to try to start at the beginning and get everyone caught up to where I am today. I'm really not sure how well this is going to turn out, it may be a little choppy to get things started, but once I get all caught up it should be better.

My name is Sarah (23), I am engaged to James (23) and we have a beautiful daughter named Rylee (7.5 months). James and I have been together since April 18, 2009 and engaged since December 18, 2010. We've known each other for about 9 years, and are planning on getting married April 21, 2012.

On August 4, 2010 at 4:21am I gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl. Weighing in at 8lbs 2oz and a whopping 21.5 inches long.

I had a super easy pregnancy! I loved being pregnant. I did get super swollen with water retention, but that was about it. I was on bed rest for only one day near the end because my BP got high and I had some protein in my urine so the doctor wanted to make sure I took it easy until the next day when I was to get induced. I went in on a Monday and had my baby girl on Wednesday morning. Talk about a long hospital stay. We came home Thursday, but I went back in Thursday night because I had gotten a fever and needed to get it checked out. Turned out that I had an infection and needed antibiotics. So they admitted me and made me stay. I was not a very happy camper. I just wanted to be home with my family. Rylee is a great baby! She's generally pretty happy. We got super lucky!

I think I'll leave it at that for now. I don't want to make one super long post. I'll come back later and see what else I can come up with. :-)
