My Very First Blog Post

So my first attempt at blogging was an epic fail. I actually started this blog before Jacob was born. I had visions of blogging about my pregnancy, welcoming Jacob into the world and all of the other cuteness that comes with newborn babies. That obviously didn't happen. But that's OK. My poor pregnant self would not be discouraged. Instead I made plans to start after he was born, documenting all of his important milestones as well as the craziness that comes with being a new mom. Well, that didn't happen either! I was certainly not prepared for the 27.5 hour later and the 2 failed epidurals. Nor was I prepared for a fussy, demanding baby that pitched a fit if I tried to do anything other than hold him or breastfeed him. And then after 10 weeks of maternity leave I had to go back to work and all hopes of starting a blog were gone.

But here we are 8 months later! Life is still just as hectic, but my body seems to have gotten used to functioning on only about 4 hours of total sleep a night. That's TOTAL people...I never get more than a couple of consecutive hours of sleep. For all of his greatness, Jacob seriously sucks at sleeping. Oh but that will be discussed later. My next post will update you on what's happened these last 8 months. Wow...I can't believe it's been 8 months already. Time has gone by so incredibly fast. After the big 8 month overview I really will try my best to do weekly updates and random posts about what my life is like. I really want to have something to look back on in a few years to help me remember these precious times...as exhausting as they may be!

Until next time!
