Time to update after a year

Well my last post was about running and how fitting that last week I picked up running again for real. It's a lot harder after having a baby but I am keeping up with it. Dan and I are running a half marathon March 18, 2012... I'm already scared! Yeah, for everyone who reads this (I think 2 people...who already know this info) Dan and I had a baby!

Here is a short breakdown of (some of) last year....

Last April we adopted another cat, Jeeves. He is great. I am now officially the crazy cat lady, but he was worth it. Abused, horded all that. I am glad we got him, he is a great addition to the house.

In May we had my MIL's 50th B-day bash. And man was it a bash! So much fun was had by all. And no, she doesn't look 50. She sucks! :) In June we went on vacation with Ryan and Brandon. It was a blast. We went to Hilton Head and Dan and I are definitely planning on going back. I came back from vacay pregnant... funny how that happens. lol. (So did Ryan for that matter... not planned for us to be pregnant together but how freakin' awesome is that!?!?) Pregnancy.... sucked! I had so many people tell me it was great and you feel beautiful. No part of my whale butt felt beautiful. It was gross. And the topper to all that was the labor. I need to do a whole post on that alone. And now I am stuck trying to lose the weight I gained. Running and watermelon are my friends right now, but I am hungry all. the. time. But I will get this weight off I dont care how hungry I get!!! When I lose the weight I will post a pic of me the day we went to the hospital to have baby P. Dan says I was beautiful and he was lying!! It is groooossss! Even my Dad gasped when he saw the picture. I was huge!! Anyway, back to the point. Now for the corny line everyone says.... it was totally worth it. And it really was. He is cute. Way cuter than me (he must get it from his Dad). He cries, he poops, he plays, he smiles now (which melts me... seriously) and I love it all. I fell in love the second I saw him. It was an awesome moment and I would do it again (even if I said I would never do it again while I was in labor). Dan is an awesome Dad. I love watching him be a Dad to baby P. Baby P loves his daddy and it's the cutest. Anyway, baby P's pic is below.
Cute, right?

Last week I quit my job to be a stay at home mom. We are both very happy with this decision. My boss was really nice about it and I am grateful for that.

Now I am typing this as fast as I can because the little roo is due to wake up any minute now. We'll see how well I keep up with this. No promises. :)
