Our first family pet

Today we went into the pet store not expecting to buy anything. Then I came across this beautiful blue fish and fell in love. Her name is Sapphire and she is the best pet a new mommy could have!!

Do accidents really happen?

I am proud to say that at 19 my husband and I 100 % planned to have our beautiful baby boy!
   I always feel do bad when I hear that peoples babies were an accident or a mistake. This day and age there are enough precautions you can take to avoid unwanted pregnancy that it should no longer be considered mistake or an accident. it's not the baby that's a mistake, it's the parents who made the mistake to not use some type of preventative. I know its not my place to judge other people, I just can't help but think you could have prevented it if you didn't want it. it's not fair to the children who have to suffer because of their parents mistake.
  I hope this blog does not offend anybody I just wanted to get my opinion out.

first real laugh

I thought I would share this with everyone. Such a joy being a mom getting to see all of the new developments your children make. Recently my son have learned how to giggle and now he has a real laugh. I hope this makes you as happy as it made me when I heard it.

Teen Moms

I never thought I would be so lucky and have such an amazing husband and a beautiful baby boy let alone I would have them before I turned 20!

  I am officially 20 years old as of yesterday, no longer considered a "teen mom" and it feels nice to be out of that bracket.  I used to hate the looks I would get when people would ask how old my son was then how old I was and even ask my marital status as though it was wrong of me to have a baby so young. I could not imagine being a young mom and not being married. I feel soo bad for how people judge young moms. Especially now with the teen mom shows on MTV. When you see how some of them act no wonder society looks down on young moms. It is extremely unfortunate though because being a teen mom myself as well as knowing quite a few other teen moms I know how hard we work to make sure our relationships succeed for our children as well as making sure they always have the best of the best!!

  I am soo proud of all the young moms I know that do everything in their power on a day to day basis to make sure their babies are well taken care of. Don't let what people have to say bring you down, just because some people are incompetent doesn't mean you are!! Lots of love to all of my teen moms <3

Live Seven Years Longer

While my son sleeps so peacefully on the couch beside me I am reading Todays Parent Guide Baby & Toddler edition Spring/Summer 2012. And I came across a wellness article that is talking about living longer.

Now that I have this precious little gift I want to make sure I do everything possible to keep myself healthy and extend my longevity!

A report from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and Public Health Ontario claims that people could live 7 years longer by stopping a few bad habits!

*Smoking
*Eating poorly
*Being sedentary (lazy)
*Drinking to much alcohol

And last but most definitely not least

*Stressing

Am I Crazy?!

I think my son is absolutely gorgeous and I am not just bias he really is!! I started up a fan page for him on facebook.. I am hoping to get enough likes that when I enter him in baby contests and take him for auditions for baby commercials and movie parts that he will start to become more recognized!!

  Even I think I am crazy sometimes but I thought I would share his site with all of you so you can like it too!!

Espresso or Yoga

  As a new mom I needed to find a good out let to get my energy boost during the day. I found myself turning to my favorite drink in the world.. Caramel Machiatos <3 Now in reality caffeine is not the most healthy thing for you and it is extremely addicting. I would know. So I started to look for a better solution. Something that would keep me energized and healthy.

That is when I started to research. I saw that "apparently" yoga was an effective way of boosting and maintaining high energy levels but that is also kept you in impeccable shape. Now having a new baby there was no way I could start going out and taking classes so I looked for online classes. That is when I came across this amazing site, www.myyogaonline.com/home .

  It offers amazing programs and challenges as well as videos that you can do right at home for only 10 bucks a month! I am in the midst of doing my first 8 day program called Yoga For The Beginner. I am on my 5th day and I honestly feel the difference. I feel so much more relaxed and revitalized. Joining this website was a great decision.

  They also offer a variety of yoga classes including post natal baby yoga for you and your little one! You can also do the classes whenever you would like and work around your schedule whether you want to do a quick 10 minute video or a two hour video.

 When it comes for me choosing what I prefer, I now say Yoga over espresso any day!!

Giggles and Wiggles

      Today I was sitting on the couch with my little man and he was smiling away, cooing and kicking his little legs as he often does.. Then he started to go red... poop time... woooo......

  So when he finished his business I took him to his room to change him and he decided to pee all over me. He then was smiling away and cooing again now that he had a clean bum! We went back to the couch and he was talking away to me as we were playing with his little plush rattles and to my surprise he let out the CUTEST giggle I have ever heard!!

  It was the first time he has ever let out a good giggle!! ahhh. He is currently 7 weeks and 3 days and he is growing way to quickly. It is soo amazing to see his little personality starting to shine through as we watch him grow. We can't wait to what else he will learn.
