So Obviously I didn't get that new laptop! Ha!

OK, I said around Christmas time that I was going to get started doing this again! I really REALLY REALLY need this. It's a great place for me to put my thoughts and lets face it vent to you poor followers! LOL! No but seriously here I go. I'm going to devote at least 10 minutes to blogging every day. Surely my children will cooperate with that!

Here's what our 2011 has been filled with so far:

*January - We welcomed our beautiful little boy into the world! Ryan James Emitt was born on January 25th at 9:52am Weighing in at 8 lbs. 13 oz and 21 inches long! He's such a sweet sweet boy!

*February - Life was pretty slow for us. We spent most of the month adjusting to not just 1 little munckin but 2! Jade LOVES her baby brother and she's an excellent Big Sister! :)

*March - Oh boy! March was a rollercoaster for us! Ryan was hospitalized for 5 days with RSV. (which is basically the common cold for an adult). Worst Month of my life. Ugh. I hated seeing him like that and it just was horrible. Period. I also got cleared in March to start working out! Obviously I didn't get to do much of that since we were home bound for right at a month. Needless to say we were pretty stir crazy.

*April - So far so good this month! I went back to the doctor for another B12 shot. Since my 6 week post baby check up I had lost 15 lbs. Woo Hoo! I can thank Ryan for most of that, and for needing the B12 shot too! That hospital stay had this Momma on pins and needles! Yikes! I also have started doing the Couch to 5K running program! Google it! You can try it too! I've started on my 2nd week of it however I am doing week 1 twice to just make sure I'm ready to increase my running time. I feel great and every day when it's time to run again, I can feel myself getting stronger and being able to run for longer lengths of time. It sure does make me feel accomplished. I'm busting my butt (literally and figuratively! Ha!) to get in shape and be happier about myself.

I really am so proud of myself right now, and I'm not being vain at all. With 2 kids I didn't know how I was going to be able to handle things, but I'm proud to say My house is in order, I find time to run at least 3 times a week, I have time to play with both of my babies, and we're spending time as a family! I'm so thankful for my family. We didn't think we were going to be able to have any more babies after Jade and my body didn't act like it was going to go back into baby ready mode but God had different plans for us. My OBGYN even says that Ryan is our 2nd miracle baby! :)

Hopefully 2011 will be better to us as the year progresses. Hopefully no more hospital stays and happy healthy children. I promise I will be doing much better with keeping up with this. Like I said I need this place just to put my thoughts! :)

Until tomorrow (hopefully)
