Mommy Monday

Hmmm... "Mommy Monday".  Has a nice ring to it.  
Maybe I'll make every Monday a Mommy-related post. 


Since today is my youngest son's birthday, I thought I'd take a break from writing anything running-related. Or heel-related.  Or Pigeon Pose-related.

Instead, I'm going to share some pictures of the day my little "Mr. Big Stuff" was born.
I can hardly believe it's been five years since I went in for my scheduled C-section...
and got to see and hold my baby for the first time!


A very pregnant me, just before heading out the door to go to hospital.
It's amazing how much a stomach can stretch!




I'll spare you from having to see the gore of the C-section (my husband took lots of pictures)
and let you see Mr. Big Stuff cleaned up and fresh out of the womb.



The first time "The Professor" (my oldest) saw his new baby brother.
He wasn't all that impressed.





All of my men together... a couple days later & at home.


We were a little surprised when we found out we were going to have another baby.
It was difficult getting used to the idea that our lives were about to be made
much more complicated than we had envisioned.

But, we would never change any of it!

Mr. Big Stuff is my affectionate, loving, sweet little guy!
I cannot imagine life without his mischievous little smile, funny antics, and sparkling eyes.


Happy 5th Birthday to my little man!

You are so blessed, your guys are all so cute! I love seeing older siblings loving on their little brothers and sisters, very sweet! It's amazing how little ones change our lives in ways we never expected and now, it's hard to imagine how our lives could be any different! HB to your little guy and this was so sweet!

Happy Birthay to Mr. Big Stuff! What a sweet baby he was, and a sweet 5 year old now.

I had to laugh a bit that his big brother wasn't impressed. Same thing here! Kids are so funny.

A Few of my Favorite Things Giveaway & Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday to Blog Happy birthday, dear Blo-ooog... Happy birthday to blog! One year ago today I posted my very first running blog post. If you feel so inclined, you can read it here .  The funny thing is, I thought I had come up with an original idea:  I would chronicle my marathon-training journey for all the world to see! It didn't take long to discover that there were lots of people out there with running blogs.  Did I mind?  Heck, no!  What I lacked in originality, I gained a hundred-fold in support, encouragement, and knowledge from this incredible community of runners. I believe there is a good chance that I would have given up on running and training if it weren't for my Running Blogger Friends.  Your stories, experiences, triumphs, trials, and heart-breaks have kept the running spark alive in me.   I consider each of my Running Blogger Friends a blessing. In order to thank you and to celebrate my b...

Goals and Plans for 2010

Image
I'm caving into the peer pressure and decided to blog about my goals (or "resolutions" if you prefer).  I don't usually make New Year's resolutions but, as always, I've been inspired by my Running Blogger Friends. Health Goals Eat more fruits and veggies... in fact, as of three days ago, I'm a vegetarian.  I'm going to go month-by-month on the whole vegetarian thing.  I'm trying it out to see if being a vegetarian makes me feel any different.   Eat more raw foods Drink at least 60 ounces of water everyday Cut back on sugar Training Goals Ride and Run a total of 2010 combined miles Strengthen my core, ankles & feet, and upper body Join a running group Run or cross-train five days a week Get custom orthotics if current injury-eliminating endeavors don't work   Personal Goals Get clean laundry put away before the pile turns into Mt. Everest I try to be realistic when I set goals.  I think all of those goals are do-able.  We...

Lazy Slug Award

And the Lazy Slug Award goes to... SARA JONES of Running through Life! Acceptance Speech "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh! I- I can't believe it! I don't know what to say except, er... um... thank you? There are just so many- so many others I'd like to thank for helping me achieve this... this... honor? First, I'd like to thank my 'right hand man'... Left Foot! I couldn't have done it without you. You've been there for me since before Right Knee Pain left me. Every time the sun comes up, there you are! Your multiple visits with me throughout the day are constant reminders that I can't get out there and run. So, I owe much of my Lazy Slug success to you. Next, I'd like to thank Sleep Les Ness . Sigh... What can I say about Mr. Ness? You usually travel with others when you come to visit. You especially like to show up with my sons when they sneak into my bed in the middle of the night. Or when they wake up early. Sometimes you even surprise ...
