Dear Camden

 

Dear Camden,

Yesterday was your 5month birthday. I literally cannot wrap my brain around the fact that you have been a member of our family for almost one half of a year. It feels like yesterday when your daddy and I went to the hospital to have you. Actually today, I was sitting at the kitchen table, and I looked over at your high chair and remembered that, that was the chair that I called Dr. Ladd from to tell her we were on our way. That is also the chair that I ate my Fruit Loops in every day. My, I have gotten off topic. I am so happy that your monthly birthday is so close to Christmas. Last night, Santa came to our neighborhood and we stood in the front door and screamed like little kids with glee... Oh wait, you are a little kid. Ok, Mommy screamed like a little kid with glee. You smiled at the lights, and we sang Christmas songs. Goodness gracious I love the Holidays. I am super excited to see you and your cute self on Christmas. You have been a nice boy, so I am sure that Santa will be very good to you. Camden, this month you grew a lot. We are now scrambling to find clothes that fit you. You may be five months, but you are in 9 month clothes already. I make you wear every piece of clothing that we buy just because, and so today your pants are a little tight because they are 6 months. Skinny pants if you will? Apparently, boys think that's cool now.. so you're cool. ta-da!

You are trying to sit up by yourself, and you are actually really good at "tri-poding". You love to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I swear its baby crack. You also LOVE your jump jump.

Four hours and hours you sit in there and jump, jump. jump. I think this is helping you build strength in your back. You really have no interest in rolling over, you are a side person. You love to lay on your side. Another change this month, you have learned how to throw temper tantrums. Lucky us. However, I am no fool when it comes to throwing a fit.. so I give it right back. You are my son, and I understand that importance of getting your way, but gee whiz. Also, you are starting to bite. Awesome. Fair warning... I WILL BITE BACK!

You continue to try a new veggie every week. So far we have completed our orange colored veggies... onto greens. Camden, you are amazing. Its insane to me how happy you can make your daddy and I. At this time, you are currently putting everything in your mouth. EVERYTHING!

This month you like: jump jump, veggies, sitting up, your crabbie toy, your reindeer (tail only), lifting yourself out of your bouncer seat, snuggling with blankies, laying in the big bed, Ollie, TV, having a wet wipe on your wee wee, smiling, playing peekaboo, reading books, bottles, feeding yourself, chewing on your socks, grabbing your feet, the Christmas tree, sitting in the big boy highchair.

Oh my goodness, we love you so much. I look forward to documenting the Christmas Experience.

We love you Camden. We anticipate that this month is going to be quite the ride.

Happy Five Months... Don't move a muscle... you are growing up way to fast

 Hold it...

   Hold it....

Love Mommy and Daddy

House of Quacks

quick post.

Hilarious things happening at our house tonight.

First of all, don't make Travis eggs for dinner. If you do, you must have a dessert. Lesson learned.

Second of all, it is "don't make any sudden moves".... damn. I totally thought it was "false moves". Whatever. its cool. I will say whatever the eff I want. because I am a red head.

Thirdly, Travis asked me tonight if this girl was good looking.. I said yea.. and then he proceeded to say he wasn't sure because she had red hair.. ummmm... your wife is a red head.

Fourth, when we bet against each other, its not about buying each other things, or *cough, cough*.. its "IF I WIN, YOU HAVE TO FEED THE BABY HIS NIGHT TIME BOTTLE". Its amazing. Poor little guy. But seriously, I can only listen to twinkle, twinkle sooo many times.

Fifth, Camden was falling asleep and I walked by and he looked at me and shut his eyes so sweetly. I said. HA.. momma's got the touch.. and Travis said, he probably passed out from your FACE. Love.


Travis is pissed because we have NO sweet in the house that he can eat (they are ALL for Christmas).. so guess what... He's making chocolate milk.. and I just heard the can of whip cream... stay classy krukemeier.  (spell check says that our last name should be crummier....great, just great).

Also, the dog wont stop lunging at the TV.. because he thinks the animals are real. Its really normal around here.

"the normality at this locality is Abnormality"

Gnight.


BTW- I have kinda ditched the real housewives thing.. funny in the head.. but not easy to write about.

12 days of Christmas, Real Housewife Style.

Well Hello! My has it been a long time. So I am going to MAKE myself find time to write in my blog everyday until Christmas. I think its my destiny since today is the 13th and 13 + 12=25 BAM, we have the 12 days of Christmas my friends. Don't be jealous of my awesome math skills by the way... and I wasn't breast fed either. (that's a total stab at my husband who thinks he is smarter because he drank boob juice and I didn't). Just to be clear, I'm not knocking breast feeding... I am actually jealous that it didn't work out for us.. I would probably be skinnier and fit into a little sparkly outfit for NYE and  be able to pay for Christmas presents if I didn't spend all my money to feed my baby formula. I'm hoping to start him on McDouble's next week for this very reason. Kidding.. don't call the Po-Po.

Anyways back to biznass... 12 Days of Christmas, Real Housewife Style.

As many of you know, and many of you are the same way, I have have a slight obsession with the Real Housewives... Of EVERY city. I didn't realize how bad I was until I could explain all of their lives to a dear friend during a marathon of RHOallthecities this past Saturday. Embarrassing.

So first stop, RHOA, Real Housewives of Atlanta. These are my girls! I love them. On the first day of Christmas, I want a wig from Kim's Wig line.

And maybe one for Camden too?!?



I want a wig for the both of us, because of the following:

 #1 I have come down with Mange 

 #2 Camden has a bald spot. 



Dave Hair Style



Apparently, your hair falls out for MONTHS after you have a baby. Its Awesome, really, you should be jealous. I mean not only do you have the opportunity to give birth, but just when you think you are missing out, your body shares the awesome experience of losing every piece of hair. Its a-damn-mazing that people ever have kids again. Not just because of the terrifying task of cleaning out your brush, or pulling pieces out as you rinse your shampoo....but also, I'm a betting woman that Trav wont be down with the Dave Hair-style.

You can connect the dots.

No worries.. Camden's Hair Sitch is because he's lazy and only lays on his back! Really kid, get some energy and start running sprints. KIDDING. I have been told that he will grow hair soon. I'm not really worried about it. I just loved the baby wig. love. love. love.

So get on it people. Camden and I are waiting for our wigs.

Happy Hair-mas,

Meaghan



Hi I think your hot...

First and foremost, Happy Birthday TOMORROW, December 5th to my Grampy and to my little cousin Kaitlyn. Yahoo. I hope that you all party to you poop your pants.

8 years ago my Grampy was 8 years younger, and my little cousin was born and I walked into an after hours party after having one too many and met my husband. standard.

8 years seems like a million, sometimes it feels like a million, but most of the time it seems just like yesterday. I am not going to get all sappy because, well, that's not us. Travis and I are the LEAST sappy people ever. Unless I am 10 months pregnant, then I want to be saptastic, all.the.time.

Ok so let's celebrate our 8th year together by reminiscing all the totally classy parts. First of all, I wore a coat like this...

and to compliment this fine piece of yumminess, I wore a camel and white striped scarf. If I may be honest, I am pretty sure that I also wore this white shirt with a huge blue rose, covered in glitter, with pocket less jeans and chunky black boots. awesome.

 

Just in case you already didn't think I was a freak, I wanted to go ahead and find some garments to help paint a picture. Alright, so me and the rose and the fur walked into a party AFTER HOURS, so that right there just screams class. I walk in and there is a guy in a SIU hat, Old Navy shirt and hair that needed to be cut.

This is the guy who had been talking to my roommate and telling her to call me when they would be out because he wanted me to come hang out. You know, very mature things. This guy was annoying and I wanted to talk to him face to face to let him know.

Me and liquid courage walked up to him and said, "Hi I'm Meaghan, Tiff's roommate". Or something of the sorts. Anyways, fast forward an hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, 5 hours.. and its 9 am in the morning and we had stayed up ALL night talking. For real, talking, Trav is a legit guy, not skeezy.

He and I asked each other every question known to man, and now I ask him questions like..... to bring me the paci or the burp cloth.

Its pretty awesome, our story. He still makes me laugh, and I think he is still super cute. I hope that when we are old and gray we can look back at all of our years, and remember all the nitty gritty details.

We haven't always been rainbows, gold, and leprechauns, but who has. I anticipate that we will also have more bumps along the way. But, man, what a ride it has been thus far.

Travis thinks I am stupid for counting our 8th year. But its too fun to not celebrate. Its another glorious year on the calendar. and if I might add, he still needs a damn haircut.

Happy Not Real Anniversary Trav!

Love You,

Meaghan

Baby 101

Happy December Friends! I cannot believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we are gearing up for Christmas. Holy Jingle Bells! This Holiday season has been quite the experience. Right before Thanksgiving, the entire family got the flu in some form. It was miserable. However, we made it to Indiana to visit Trav's family and we were healed!

See, look how happy we are.. or more like, really tired.

OK, so the purpose of this post is to talk about what I have learned thus far as a mommy. Trust me, I am not trying to teach ANYONE how to be a momma-llama, but I like to share experiences. Sharing experiences with others makes me seem normal, because every mom I talk to has done something of the sorts. Amen to you!

1. Naps make me as happy as dangley earrings did in 3rd grade.

Naps make it possible for me to do important things, like write this post, watch my shows on Bravo and read magazines. Sometimes, I do less important things like laundry, cleaning, and paying bills. Nevertheless, feeling the weight of a sleeping baby in my arms is joyous. Sometimes I get so excited I want to scream, but that defeats the purpose. If I may be honest, when he wakes in the middle of his nap, and I am in sight.. I hide. I do this to avoid eye contact in hopes that he falls back to sleep. Basically naps mean that I get stuff done. enough said.

2. Babies are little, but they are damn strong. I knew while he was in my belly that he was so strong because of his kicks, but on the outside. WOW. I learned how strong he was when he started to hold onto things and bang me in the head with them. If I act goofy now, its because I have brain damage from being struck repeatedly by keys and teethers (frozen). Also, giving a baby medicine is NO JOKE.

3. Dogs are mans best friend. Camden loves Ollie. I think he loves him more than Trav and I. The thing that I am learning is to be OK with the licking. Its gross, but I survived 3 dogs licking me non stop, Travis did too, and so will Camden. The only thing that annoys me about this whole baby dog thing is that Ollie tries to share the playtime blanket, and then my baby smells of dog. ewe. Not gonna lie.. if I wouldn't be turned into DCFS I would probably buy Ollie a saddle and Camden a helmet... and we would have pony rides.

4. A baby's smile cures anything. I will do anything to make sure Camden smiles. I don't care where I am or who is around. I think mother's lose their dignity on a daily basis trying to get their baby to be happy. I have also witnessed my super serious somber  husband do ridiculous things... IN PUBLIC to make Cam happy. This man usually doesn't speak outside of the house.. so that just proves that baby smiles are golden. On the other hand, a sad/unhappy baby can ruin anything. I think babies are born with bipolar disorder and then as they grow they get rid of it. Weird .. I know.. but I think its a fact.

5.  Caffeine is now a food group. I'm talking, major amounts people. It's necessary for any sort of "nice" to come out of my being. My child sleeps through the night and has for months.. yes.. hate me and send me squinty eyes and death stares.. and I still need caffeine. Its because a parents brain never really turns off when you are within a mile radius of your child. Including sleepy time. People who have colicky babies, you should receive a) infinite amounts of money b) a baby nurse for life or c) diamonds. That's my 2 cents.

6. I learned that after having a baby, your body just isn't quite right. You can be smaller weight wise than you were before you had a baby (NOT MY CASE) and schtuff still isn't the same. Celebrities are immortal and aren't real.. because there is NO way real people can be a in a Victoria's Secret fashion show 5 seconds after having a baby.  Like I have said before, Mother nature.. your a mean mean broad. Thank goodness for spanx and padded bras.. oh and make-up and volumizing hair spray and perfume.

7. You will never have money again. 4 years ago, that would have made me so sad. But I am OK with this notion, because we have Camden.  Luckily, baby's will play with trash and they will be happy. SCORE!

8. There is a mom code. When you are out with your baby and its unhappy, and another mom sees this, they give you the look of "god bless, I totally get it". Everyone in the baby section looks super tired and frantic too, if someone looks put together and spry.. chances are, they are buying a gift. One thing that I haven't learned yet, is why other moms judge people just like them. Meaning, why when you are talking about your children, does "that" mom say.. "OHHHHH... Really???" totally implying, WHAT!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DO THAT.. YOU SUCK, I'M BETTER!!!!". I really don't get why they do that. We are all new moms, or better yet, just moms. No one really knows what the hell they are doing. Just for that simple fact, there should be a rule that you can smack someone who says something like that. If I ever write the MOM RULE BOOK that will be rule #2 ... Don't judge other moms, because they are already nervous about EVERYTHING they do. You will only make them feel worse, and for that, you should  be ashamed of yourself! This rule will be followed by rule #1 hold, hug and kiss your child as much as you can!

9. As soon as that baby is laid on your chest after birth, you instantly go into Momma Bear Mode. You will do ANYTHING to keep that baby safe. I am learning that I am not so passive as I used to be. I don't know how to explain this, I am just different and more aggressive. Not like punching aggressive, but I say what I need to.

10. Last but certainly not least. I have learned that marriage is sweeter than ever. The best thing about being a mommy is watching daddy and baby play. I don't know how I would do this with out Travis by my side, helping me make decisions and such. Its also great to have him to talk to about stupid mom/dad things... you know like.. OH MY GOD look at how big this poop is. Or Travis, I think he is really sick.. what do we do. I have talked to other moms and they say the same thing.. After you have your baby, its amazing how in love you fall with your husband. It takes it to a whole new level. I have also learned that Baby and Daddy have a special "MAN" bond that I will never understand... Travis gets home from work and instantly.. Camden lights up and they begin doing their man things. It makes me so happy inside I cannot describe.

well, there you have it, and there I have it to remember. The 10 things that I have learned the past 4 months. For knowing nothing, this little guy sure does teach me a lot. I hope that other mommy friends appreciate all that their babies have to teach. It truly is a blessing to learn from these crazy, slobbering little people.

I smell a bad diaper.. Happy Weekend!

Dear Camden

Oh My GOODNESS! I die for this picture. This is not his four month picture, but its close enough so I decided to include it. And plus, I can't just say "HEY LOOK HOW CUTE MY LITTLE MAN IS", but I can weasel it in to another post and say that. OK enough about that.....

Well today is your 4th month here on earth, and your 13th month alive. I cannot believe this. For some reason, I am having a hard time with you being 4 months. I don't understand why, its not like you just applied to MIT or anything, or you have some hoochie mama trying to take you to prom. I mean, you still have to be bathed and carried around by yours truly. Its weird to me why this month is so much harder for me than the other 3. I think its because this is the week LAST year that I told everyone that we were expecting. Well everyone at work at least. That really puts things into perspective.

 **SIGH**

So today was a really good day. Daddy got you up and dressed you in a cute little outfit (that you ruined by an accident.....Thanks) and we took pictures, as we ALWAYS do.. and we ALWAYS will. (your mommy is obnoxious, love me or love me more because of it... I get it from your grandma).

Yay!! I am four months..CLAP CLAP CLAP!



ugh... I don't feel good. But I am going to muster up a smile... bleh.

 You ate so well this morning, and you hardly coughed at all last night, which was awesome! Before we left for school, you looked me square in the face, cooed, which coaxed me to lean in closer, and BAM... BARF...Cough, SNEEZE, yep.... you guessed it. All up in my hair, face and mouth. But I love you still. If you weren't so sweet I would get my crafting tools out and make this for you to think about what you did to mommy this morning...

But I will save it for when you are really rotten. Lets be honest, lets save this for when I have time to make this for you.

Dear Camden,

You are a pretty awesome little dude. You are starting to reach for things, EVERYTHING. Its not just your frog or your lion, its the phone, my earrings, my necklace, daddy's beard and the spoon that we feed you with. Sometimes its a lot to control, but you are so cute while you do it. Something else that you started to do this month is to put everything in your mouth. OH.. and melt.my.heart. you have fallen in love with your brother Ollie. You follow him around with your eyes, and when I put you by him you pull his face flaps and giggle. Things that you like, besides the list above: Food, Cereal, making a mess, your swing (but you're getting so heavy the thing barely moves), snuggling your ghost pooh, pulling blankets up to your face (FREAKS ME OUT!), your humidifier, sound machine, your bounceroo, your crib, grabbing your toes, being shy with the baby in the mirror and talking to us. I can't believe all that you do, you must be so tired from learning so much and making so many people fall in love with you. You have your daddy's smarts, smile, eyes, etc, and my.... umm... red hair and LOUD voice. I am looking forward to sharing our first holiday as a family together. YAY family. Happy 4th Month Birthday. Mom and Dad love you very much. xoxo.

 I mean.. seriously.. I am not kidding.. you are soooo chill. Look at you... 

Sunday Funday

man. what a weekend! I need another weekend just to relax from this one.

Travis and I went out for the first time without the baby. I mean, we have gone out before, but we always come back to him, or pick him up if he is not with us. I took him to my grandparents house and he hung out with Ma and Pa before Grandpa Peeps and Grandma Sis came and got him. Fun times for all. We are really fortunate to have family close so that we can spend a little time together.

After finally deciding what to wear, we were off to Perryville, MO to hang out with Trav's work friends. I have heard so much about these people for 3 years now. I FINALLY got to meet them. They were awesome. We had the best time. Trav and I ended up staying in some hotel for the evening because we had too much fun juice.

On the way home, I cursed myself and cried. What a horrible feeling... It literally has been over a year since I felt like that. I haven't been out to that extent in a year. WOW. Mommyness and Age sure does take a toll.

It reminded me of morning sickness. eww. Except, I couldn't think of anything positive to make myself feel better. When I was pregnant, I would think, "oh, this is totally worth it, I am growing a baby". Today all I could think about was how I was growing a huge barf. Double eww.

Travis amazes me. I don't give him enough credit. But today he skipped hunting to take care of his uber dramatic wife, offered to go get Camden, and made the most amazing "chill pad" in our living room. He also held Camden while I fed him cereal.. and Travis doesn't do well with slimy cereal that oozes out of our baby's mouth. In love.  Keeping this post short, gotta go hang out on our chill zone. 

Happy Sunday! Love Ollie :)

Month by Month

At this moment I have a lot that I feel I need to write about. However, I am going to finally post Camden's monthly pictures. He is 15 weeks today and it is apparent to me that I need to start remembering and recording the little things.
 Lets start way from the beginning shall we....

Happy Birthday my Sweet Angel

 At this moment there was nothing else in the room. I have never loved anything so quickly in my life. Coolest, most awesomest experience EVER! Travis and I had the best experience at Missouri Baptist Hospital. Our Nurse, Hessie, was fantastic and was very supportive. And we can't forget Dr. Ladd. Dr. Ladd was the best doctor I have ever encountered in my life. She was fantastic! I recommend her. So I don't need to write about my delivery and all the nitty gritty, but lets just say I can remember that, ALWAYS and FOREVER, 

In your daddy's hands 1 day old.

The awesome newborn pictures taken at 5 days old.

The Happy Family

This picture melts my heart. There is nothing better than seeing my two boys interact.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMDEN HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Add about 4 weeks and we have Camden at 1 Month! During your first month we got to know each other. We also got to bond as a family. Travis was able to take two weeks off and we loved every second of it. Things that you liked: Your boppy pillow, food, sleeping and your swing. Without your swing, I think we would have had a less than desirable sleep routine. From the very beginning you only woke up once a night. So thoughtful of you!! I tried to nurse you, and that was just something else all in itself. Needless to say, 5 days was the longest I could go. I tried and remember Mommy Loves you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMDEN HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

During your 2nd month you grew leaps and bounds. I know how fast you grew when you were inside me. I have the stretch marks on my fanny to prove how fast we grew. OOPS.. my baby didn't grow in my arss... Oh well. I needed lots of Big Macs to make you grow. Anyways, I knew you would grow fast, but I didn't know you would change SO much. During your 2nd month you liked: food ( you jumped to 5 ounces), sleep, music, your sound machine, your bouncer seat, the swing, going on walks and being rocked. We also went to the lake for the first time and you loved it. Camden, you light up my life. I think the best part about having you is laughing with your daddy about the funny things that you do. We are a family, and remember, we love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CAMDEN HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

During your 3rd month, You are a completely different baby. I didn't think it was possible to love you more than the very first time I laid eyes on you. Well, you sure do prove me wrong and I bet you continue to do so as you grow. Things you like this month: Food, Creep Mousy, Grampy's crib, Limey, Dot, Frog and Lion, Batting at objects, YOUR THUMB!, and your mobile. You love to talk and smile. You are almost rolling over, and you are so strong. MY O MY you are SO strong. Every person you come into contact with truly love you. Keep it up little guy. You have your daddy's smile, eyes and personality, but you have my attitude and my loud voice. God love you.

In closing, I just put you to bed and I was reflecting on the fact that you are almost 4 months. When I burp you you stretch all the way from my shoulder to my legs. I can't hold you with one arm any more. As I look at my little man turn into a medium sized person, I start to get sad, and then I hear the most glorious sound.... the sound you make when you suck on your paci. MELT. MY. HEART. I don't care if you get buck teeth from that thing, that sound is amazing. Love.

Remember Camden, as we move from month to month, I will make mistakes and try things that people say I shouldn't. You are my love and I will do whatever it takes to help you thrive.

MOMMY LOVES YOU. and so does your daddy. You are awesome.

Love and Pacifiers, Mom

Happy Harvest

Word: Busy

OK so I started this blog and was all like, "I'm going to have tons of time to do this, baby shmababy". Well, baby wins. Because of the fact that Camden is very active these days, I have to post my entire life now. First stop, Busy weekend.

I was off on Friday because we had Parent Teacher Conferences, and they made us work 12 hour days. In teacher world, that is WAY too long, so they reward us with a day off. Not complaining, but non teacher people will be jealous and will not understand. Which is totally fine. So with my day off I decided to have all my BFF's Bridesmaids over to talk wedding and to drink wine. Lots of wine. We also dressed my baby up as Hugh Hefner and played Apples to Apples, you know, super mature activities.

Watch Out Hugh! Camden is getting all the ladies now!

Bath time was also extra fun on Friday, we had all the girls helping and snapping pictures.

I really enjoy watching Camden interact with my friends. They are going to be apart of his life forever, and it warms my heart to watch him adore them and play with them. I can already tell he is going to be a ladies man and a really great friend.

These are some pictures of him flirting with Sarah and Bree.

Anyways, Friday was a great  night. Sarah is so lucky to have such great friends to share her special day with. I mean awesome friends other than me of course.

Lets move along to Saturday...

Saturday was super busy, and so was Eckert's. Holy Crap. Cars. Cars. Cars. Apparently Sarah and I picked the busiest weekend to take Camden Pumpkin Picking. Oh well, It was fun. We could not have asked for a better day. Since Camden is not quite ready to pick his own pumpkin, and his daddy was not there to help us carry it back to the car, we used the day for pictures (and harassing animals). NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THESE PICTURES.

MOMMY

AND

ME

Farmer Camden and his Pigs

Although this probably wont give me the best mom award, or Sarah the best God Mother award, it sure did make us laugh. That's all the matters. Baby is happy and we are happy. Done and Done.

what is that?!?! and how do I get it to my mouth..

Camden has found his left hand all of a sudden. Yes, his left? Weird. But nevertheless, he stares at it for minutes on end. Its really expensive to keep him enterained folks, you should buy him toys.

The Great Goat and Camel Encounter

Auntie Sarah and Camden... he still wants the goat.

After a great day, Camden was ready to go. We bought a pumpkin loaded 'er up and drove home. So far the Halloween Season has been awesome. I can't wait for next year when he is 15 months old and we really can go pick a pumpkin.

Happy Harvest,

Meaghan and Camden

Here goes it

Welcome to One Word... Go! As my first post, I want to keep things light , explain my purpose and be done with it. Lets be real... RHOBH is on, and I need to find out if Courtney and Matt find love on Most Eligible Dallas. Big things happening tonight my friends. BIG THINGS!

Ok, so I decided to name my blog One Word.. Go!  (OWG) because a million years ago, I met my husband and we played this game, OWG to get to know each other. To talk about a topic, or when things got weird and awkward, we would shout ONE WORD GO and then the other person would say a random word and we would talk about it. Stupid, Right? I know, but it worked and 8 years later, here we are. Now a days, I have a lot of words, not just one that I want to talk about. Insert blog here....

I also want to mention that I have a son. He is a small little dude.. small in age not in babyness. He is actually quite large, but oh my.. so darn cute.  If I get down to it, he is the reason why I am writing this blog. I want to remember everything about motherhood. The good the bad and the ugly. I already missed the chance to write about pregnancy, but I am sure I will talk about that sooner than later.. to remember. I need to remember because if I am honest, I kinda have baby fever again. ohmygodicantbelieveijustsaidthatoutloud. I mean I could sum the worst part about pregnancy in ONE WORD.. barffy. or in another word...STRETCHMARK. eww. Ok fever is GONE!

anyhoo...

My name is Meaghan and I think its important to share thoughts and feelings. I want to write this to share experiences with others, to have an internet time line of my baby, connect by sharing stories and to share my life with friends and family who decide to read. I think I am funny, and I think I am honest.. the two of them combined is a recipe for a damn good time.

peace. love. and Jiggy.
