This blog is to record the small moments that I will forget throughout the course of my life. It is for my husband, so that we may look back onto our lives as newlyweds and new parents. It is for my children, so that they may have something tangible that describes their existence. It is for me, so that I can read these posts and have a trip down memory lane.

As of this moment, Mitchell is at school attending his fire science class and Mateo is fussing in his swing. 

Our lives have changed dramatically over the past year and its been one roller-coaster ride. If anyone were to have approached me and said, "By this time next year you will be a wife and a mom", I would've laughed hysterically. But it would've been the truth. Mitchell and I married in April, gave birth to a beautiful boy in August and trying our hand in parenting right now. 

THE DAY'S MILESTONES:

• We used the video monitor for the first time while Mateo napped in his own room by himself
• Mitchell took care of Mateo all night long so that I could get some rest
• I pumped 14 ounces of breastmilk in the morning (TMI?)
• I signed up and began Weight Watchers at 135 lbs. 

Here is to the beginning of this blog, CHEERS!
