Thursday!

Today was uneventful. I woke up so sleepy and groggy. We went to bed late last night and literally right as I lay my head down on my pillow after writing yesterdays blog, Jax woke up crying. He never wakes up in the middle of the night so I went upstairs to try to get him back to sleep after I realized he wasn't going to go back to bed on his own. I think his tummy was hurting. It was making noises as I held him. I rocked him to sleep and snuggled him. As much as I hate climbing to the 3rd story of the house when I'm already in bed I always love how he reaches for me when I walk in the room, how he instantly lays his sleepy head on my shoulder and lets me snuggle him like he never does during the day when he's wide awake and playful. I will miss those moments when he's older.

It rained all morning and started to pour as we were getting ready to leave the house for M.O.P.S. Jax looked so cute in his new long sleeve onsies and hoody. He looks more and more like a little boy than a baby. It's so sad and adorable all at the same time. We went and picked Candace and little Jack up so we could carpool over to church. It was gloomy and cozy out so I felt in the mood for some Billie Holiday Pandora.

I think I have decided how I feel about MOPS. I hope this doesn't offend anyone but I love all the ladies at my table, the company of the ladies and how sweet everyone at MOPS is. If I get nothing else out of it I'm fine with that. I just really love getting to chat with the other moms and have woman to relate to. I think that is the most I get out of it though. I have nothing against anyone running it or how they do it, I just think that it's not what I was expecting or hoping for. I think I may need to just get in a deeper woman's group or bible study. MOPS is very surface layer and I think designed to appeal to woman who may or may not be religious. Which isn't a horrible thing but I am craving something deeper than crafts and 20 min pep talks. I feel bad for even writing that much and I deleted half of what I really wrote.... Oh well. I got to hold baby Jack for Candace during MOPS. He is such a cute and smiley baby! It's nice to get a lil baby fix. I miss Jax being that little! After MOPS we went to Starbucks and got coffee. Yum! Sugar free Soy vanilla latte's are my new favorite drink! I finally found something that doesn't hurt my stomach. Yummy!

The rest of the day was uneventful. Made Jax lunch. He is signing so much now! He only knows two words but he is sooooo cute when he signs them!! He signs "more" and "all done." It's soooooooo cute!!!!! He signed them the best he ever has today and I got so excited when he did them and said "gooood job baby!" and he was so proud! He was smiling so big and kept signing them over and over as we walked downstairs. He doesn't use them always at the right time but it's still cute!

The rest of the day I worked on culling and editing and creating a slideshow for a newborn session that I was premiering tonight. The premier went great! They loved the photos. After they left Todd and I attempted to do our 4th day of P90X but Jax wouldn't let us. We decided to make dinner and wait until after he went to bed to do yoga. Jax was so cute with us as we got him ready for bed. He was snuggling with us and being so sweet. He went to bed without a peep.

We just finished Yoga X about and hour ago and now I've just been reading blogs, browsing facebook and writing this blog! I'm off to take a shower and then get in bed and sleeeep.

I've been printing out my blogs to send to my brother so as I end this post I am going to make it a little personal to him. =)

Peter! We miss and love you so much! I am still showing Jax your picture all the time. I can't wait until we can come see you in a few weeks. We're so proud of you and all that you are doing every day. I will write you an actual letter and fill you in on more that's been going on. =) Love you!!
