Well, of course tons to catch-up on. I am going for the short style today. Sold my first house a couple of weeks ago! May have already wrote about that but just in case. Got my real estate license while I was Marketing Manager at Upper Deck so that I would have something to fall back on if I ever wanted to be a stay at home mom....and sure enough it paid off! In addition to real estate I am also going to start doing some Marketing consulting! I am very excited. I love being a stay at home mom, but I miss marketing and people and making $$$$! The other good thing about working again is that I will be back on a schedule! I have started going to gym at 5 am again, so I get home at 6:30 and while Marley is still sleeping I am able to catch-up on emails, facebook and other social networks and MY BLOG!!! I need to figure out a way to print this blog so that I can start making printed versions so that Marley can read some day. Yes, MARLEY.....
My life is MARLEY now. This morning she pooped for the first time in 5 days and I swear I had never been so happy! I went to the gym and told everyone :) Yeah, Marley has won my heart and I am all about her and loving every minute of it! Her first Christmas was nice...very relaxing and just nice. We slept in and made coffee, opened gifts, made breakfst and then headed over to Jeff and Nancy's house for Christmas dinner at about 1. Greg and I decided before Christmas that we would get eachother much and that was fine. Honestly, my favorite gifts I did receive were gifts that were really for Marley :) I love this photo album Greg got me to keep her photos in because it is organized by 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 months. Greg knows how I LOVE to document EVERYTHING so that was great and he totally surprised me and made a book online called "Marley and Me" which was filled with pictures of Marley and me and everyone that was with us for the first week for two of her life! He definitely out did me this year! He also bought Marley this adorable santa suit that she wore christmas day :)
SO Marley has grown up soooo much in just this last couple of weeks! She is about 6 weeks right now and she has already been smiling for a couple of weeks. She holds her head up for long periods of time...especially when she is laying on daddy's chest and she want to stare at him :)She smiles all the time which is such a nice reward for all the hard work! Just as of this week, she seems to really be able to focus and track objects which is so fun to watch. Its nice to because we have all these great toys that she couldn't even see to care about before and now we are starting to introduce them to her and it is so fun to watch her reactions. Simple things like the one little bear that hangs off of her bouncer she can stare at for hours and laugh and try and kick with her little chubby legs...its SO cute! There is a video of her doing this on my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1458804677&ref=profile#/profile.php?id=1458804677&ref=profile
We had our first trip to the beach on December 27th! Noah, Amanda and Cadence drove out from Vegas and stayed the weekend. It was both Marley and Cadences first time to the beach :) We went to Carlsbad and walked along the boardwalk and then took the girls on the sand for some pics (I have all these pics and a video on my facebook as well. The link is above.). Marley never opened her eyes once and was super fussy, but it was still fun to be at the beach with my daughter for the first time and it was such a beautiful day. Greg's not a huge fan of the beach and I love it, so knowing that Marley and me can go to the beach together now makes me sooo soooo excited!
New Years Eve was fun. We went next door to Becky's house and hung out with her, Brian, Susan and larry (a neighborhood party). All the dogs were there too...Simba, Spike, Molly and Harley. I wanted to have a few drinks so I pumped enough bottles so that I didn't have to breastfeed until the next day. Actually, I had the night completely off...Greg fed her every single bottle that night! That was fun, but I should have taken it easy. It had been so long since I had drank and I never drink white wine. I had 4 glasses of wine and was throwing up all night long and never got out of bed the next day except when I needed to pump and dump. I learned a big lesson, but a good one....I do not want to drink like that anymore! More importantly, I don't want to feel like that again. I always want to be "on" for my babygirl and being sick and unable to feed her or play with her was a shitty feeling!!! big time!
