it’s been a while. i never quit blogging with the intention of quitting… it just seems that life gets too hectic. well, sometimes. sometimes life is too hectic. and the others times, my downtime is quickly wasted catching up on the kardashians or pinteresting things that i swear i’ll do and need in the future.
since my last post, i finished cookin my sweet little boy… and delivered all 10 pounds and 4 ounces of his chubbyness. we’ve also quickly approached our big move to indiana and it’s just around the corner now (literally, less than 1 week!). i feel blessed beyond measure. i have a great family who supports g & i and this holiday season reminds me that family really is more important than fancy gifts or glistening decor. christmas is definitely one of my fav holidays and this year, i’m learning to let go. letting go of any expectations and i want to really just soak up the time with both of our families and my sweet holden. speaking of holden… i introduce you to holden crew thompson.
being a mom has been truly everything i hoped and dreamed it would be. granted, there have been some exhausting moments, but i wouldn’t trade it for the world. g & i were talking about the few long nights of endless crying that we’ve had the other day. he told me how frustrating a crying baby is when you don’t know what they want or need or if there is anything even wrong. although i agree, i am forcing myself to keep things in perspective. there are millions of couples who would DIE to have a baby and, for whatever reason, it’s not happening. therefore, even in those frustrating moments, i want to be grateful for the gift that god has entrusted us. i was convinced myself that a baby might not be a possibility or would be a really long, hard journey. thankfully, it wasn’t. so, i want to cherish my boy… even in the hard times.
my boy is starting to wake up now (he’s been asleep in my lap) and he’s pretty hungry… so i’m off to do motherly things! 
i’ll be back soon, though!
