I Wanna Be A Blogga...

Who knew it was so hard to be a blogger? Maybe my life isn't interesting enough or maybe I am not a  deep enough thinker to contemplate the troubles of the world or the trouble of a stay at home mom? To be or not to be that is the question.
I will try my hand at it...once again!!
So it looks like I left off in  2012. Well so much has changed in this time as it is almost 2014! Slow down time.
Emme is now 7 and thriving in 1st grade. She goes to a great private school that is a University model school that they only go MWF. T and TH are homeschool days. She has met amazing sweet little friends and I in turn have met their moms who have become my friends!
Out business is growing at a rapid pace. This is a blessing and a curse! David is so busy which means I am so busy running supply errands and take care of billing.  What a guy he is to work that hard for us.
And then there is me.....I have dropped 81 pounds.....yes that is the equivalent of a 4th or 5th grade child! Wow, does it feel good to be lighter. I won't lie....I had a breast reduction, breast lift, and tummy tuck about 6 weeks ago! After you live  so overweight for so long and not to mention have a baby and nurse for 13 months your womanly body kind gets out of place and falls south. I am so so so glad I did it all. My only regret is that I didn't do all this years ago. Which brings me to my next subject! Babies.....  Having said I wished I had done earlier wasn't attainable really as I had always hoped we would add to our family. I guess it wasn't in the Lords will for us to be anymore than a one child family.
Before we got pregnant with Emme we tried many attempts with IUI and fertility drugs with no luck. One busy month in December 2005 we were busy and tried not to think about pregnancy (which is impossible). But it worked and we became preggers with E finally. Ever since we had Emme we never guarded against getting pregnant. After years of no baby I decided when I am 35...meaning on December 31st, 2013 we will no longer try but even guard against having any babies.
So tomorrow morning it becomes real as the hubby is getting the snip snip!! He is terrified of having his balls cut!! LOL! I guess I don't blame him. So I am at peace with this decision even if it is 11 days early.
So from this day forward we are a complete family. We are not the typical family with 1.2 children ( how do you have a .2 child anyways?) but we are complete.
Well, with all that I feel like our lives are beginning again. We have closure to fertility troubles and we know how many bedrooms we need. We know we will not need to buy baby beds again and we know that we are raising a spoiled only child! Lord help me on that last one!
So yet again I will try my hand at blogging! Stay tuned for more.
I will post before and after pics soon of my weightless journey....
