Baby Life

I'm so not good at keeping up with blogging haha. I realized my last blog was right before I had Noah so I guess I've just been preoccupied.
So as you may have guessed Noah is in the world. Born April 3rd at 2:33am, 7lbs 10oz. Now he will be 5 months old in about a week and a half. Time has flown by! The first few months with him were more challenging being that his days and nights were mixed up and he needed to be fed more often. Now he only wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat. He sleeps from about 8pm until 7:30am which is awesome and takes a few naps in the day. It's so amazing how fast and drastic babies change in such a short time. He has smiled, rolled, found his hands and feet, grabs for things, babbles, holds his head up, loves looking at himself in the mirror, bounces on the jumperoo, and is teething; just to name a few.
He has brought so much joy to Tom and my life. It's not always happy or easy but I wouldn't change having him for anything. There is so much responsibility when you have a baby. They're so helpless. I knew of course they are a lot of work but I didn't truely know until I had him. Don't get me wrong, I love love love being a stay-at-home mom but every now and then I miss the freedom I had before. That's why I think it's so important to have Tom watch him so I can do things for myself and also have others watch him so me and Tom can have husband/wife time together. I remember when we had our first date night babyless it felt like something was missing. It gets a little easier a. as he gets older and b. if we keep have our time.
There are so much things I am looking forward to experience with Noah that's why I love being able to stay home so I don't miss any of them. I love Tom and Noah so much. God has truely blessed our family :) <3

Getting closer.

There is only a week and 3 days until my due date but the time is going so slow. The first part of my pregnancy seems like it went by so fast but now it seems like it's going so slow to make up for how fast the first part went. I'm enjoying my alone time and time with Tom before the baby come but being this pregnant makes me very tired, but I suppose it's just preparation for the lack of sleep i will be getting soon.
I've had two baby showers, one my mom threw me and one my mother-in-law threw me. I got so much stuff. We got pretty much everything we needed so we set up the baby room a week or so ago. We painted and set up all the furniture so now we are just waiting for the baby to come.
The pregnancy is going great. At the last doctors appointment my sister-in-law got to hear Noah's heart beat. A couple weeks ago I got checked and I was not dilated at all but that is pretty normal. There have been no signs that he is coming early so I think I will go past my due date. At the last doctors appointment I asked about my heart because I have a heart disease (S.V.T.) which makes my heart beat too fast on occasion. The doctor said if it is acting up when I'm in labor the will probably give me antibiotics through the IV and if that doesn't work I will just have to get an epidural. All in all she said everything will be fine and they have delivered women who have had S.V.T. before so I'm not worried.

Monday is me and Tom's 2 year anniversary. I feel like it's kind of getting pushed under the rug because we are so focused on baby stuff but hopefully I get to go swimming. I want to go to a water park for our anniversary, not to go on slides because I don't even go on them when I''m not pregnant, but to go swimming. Swimming is great in your 3rd trimester because it takes pressure off your joints and muscles and I have back pain all the time now. I can't believe we have been married for 2 years, it's been amazing!

The next time I have another post on here I will probably have the baby, I hope :)
