Sleepy babies

It is 10 after 2 in the morning. Eli woke up a little while ago in hysterics. It took me a while to get him calmed down so we came and snuggled on the couch for a while. My mom always says how much she loved getting up in the middle of the night with me when I was a baby because it was such a peaceful uninterrupted time with me. I don't think that I truly understood this until I had Eli. The first two I got a lot of alone and bonding time. Eli though was more difficult to get that time with. Maybe it was I was older after I had him, but it never bothered me to get up with him in the night. When we had him Josh was working 3rd shift so night time feedings were all up to me, but I wouldn't have given them up for more sleep in the world. Tonight reminded me of that time that I loved so much. Snuggling with a sweet sleepy baby is the best feeling in the world no matter what time of the day it is.

Boys not Girls

This blogging thing is all very new to me, but I thought I would give it a try. My life is very much how I planned it except for one thing...I'm the ONLY female in our house! I never would have thought that I would be the mom of three boys and no girls. I have to say though I love it!!! I'm often asked when we will try for a girl and while the clothes, barbies, and dolls would be fun I'm not sure anymore if I even want a girl. Sure I would like to have that mother/daughter bond but I don't even know how to play in the girl way anymore. I guess I was meant to just have boys and I'm OK with that now. Boys are fun, funny, inventive(this is a nice way of saying that they get into and take apart everything), active, silly, creative, smart, crazy, fun loving, sweet, and many many more things.

As I start this blogging adventure I hope to write about the triles, tests, enjoyment, and just down right hilarity of raising 3 boys.
