Emotions

Holy Hannah have I been a WRECK lately! I have tried my hardest to keep them under wraps, but I feel like postpartum depression has hit a year later! I never thought I would be so emotional about Gavin growing up & having his 1st birthday, but every time I think about it...I really don't even know how to describe it or explain it! Is this normal? I haven't cried yet, but the more I let it build, my waterfall will probably soon flood open!

I have also been looking at blogs, friends, others who are expecting babies soon & I have become quite baby hungry. Is that weird, because I kinda think it is. Don't get any ideas, we aren't going to be trying for another baby for a while. Just think it is a little out there that all of a sudden I am baby hungry. I really didn't get baby hungry before until we had our miscarriage, so I only had to wait about 2 months after that to get preggers & then 9 months for the little guy to get here. I will just enjoy as much of my "baby" as I have left!

On an unrelated note, Gavin has become quite the little walker. He can't walk by himself, heck, he can't even stand by himself yet, but when he is holding your hands that is all he wants to do is walk! He has become quite good at it! One day he will be running circles around me & I will wonder where the time when..what the heck, I already am thinking that. Where did the last year go?

He has also become a "follower." When he started crawling he would go to where he wanted to & that was it, if you left the room, he would cry until you came back. He has now learned that he can follow you where ever you go (for the most part) He has also become quite fond of Bear's food & water dishes. (We are still working on that one) Other than that, these are the "daily" updates on Gavin. Told you that he is changing & doing something new everyday!

When I get home I will try to remember to post some recent pictures of our little cutie! I have become so wrapped up in this Digital Scrapbooking phase that that is all I really want to do when I am on the computer. Maybe in the near future I will post some of the pages I have made so far! Love it!

Another Weekend Update

Word up homies...Back to blogging again. Lets jump into this week & weekend, shall we?

Mike has decided to join the Navy, I know, I know. So Thursday night he spent the night in Salt Lake to take the ASVAB test & Physical for them. There was a bit of a snag, so it didn't happen, he is hoping to join in July & then be shipped off in August to Chicago for Basic training. I will keep you updated on this as it progresses.

Friday night we went to a Viewing for my Brother-In-Law wives youngest brother, he was 27, 2 months younger than Mike. He passes away on May 29th in a rollover car accident in Colorado. What a sad day. After the Viewing, we went to dinner with Kevin, Kammi & Kahlin. What a sobering night, from death to friends, family, laughter & fun. Our lives can change so dramatically in just a couple of minutes. Thanks Kammi & Kev for the great uplift, we sure needed it.

Saturday Mike had to work, so I went to the Steven's funeral with Mike's Mom, sister & her family. It was kinda a crappy, cold day. It was a Great funeral (I never thought I would say that, but they really honored him & told his story well) I have been on a seatbelt kick now though because of it. If Steven would have been wearing his seatbelt, he might still be here with us today, with his 2 young children. What a meaningful yet sad day! Saturday night, Mike & I hung out at home with Ben & Sarah. Thanks guys for coming out & hanging with us.

Sunday was just normal, early church & Dinner with Ben, but Sarah didn't come with him because her Sister was having a Baby Boy...Congrats Sarah - You will be a great Aunt! We love you, hope to see you next week.

Let me know your thoughts on the Navy, or Seatbelt wearing, or funerals, or babies, whatever you feel like, I want to know. Let me hear from you!
