Updates Galore!!!

I know, I know...I am a failure. I am a terrible blogger and I suck. :) To be completely honest, my entrance into mommyhood has completely kicked my butt. I have loved every minute of it, and I am completely in love with Owen, but I was not ready for it. I completely underestimated how tired I would be and how little time in the day there would be for anything other than changing diapers, feeding Owen, and napping.

To offer a small explanation (no excuses here), things have been CRAZY, and they are finally starting to settle down. For the first couple of weeks Owen was home, we had a revolving door of guests. It was amazing having the help and so awesome that so many people wanted to meet Owen, but blogging was not a top priority. My parents stayed with us, my sister and most adorable nephew in the world stayed with us, Justin's parents visited quite a bit, our friend Aaron from San Franciso stayed with us a couple of days. Then, came Christmas!! Owen made his first trip to the Promiseland, aka Indiana. We celebrated four Christmases in three days...it was a little crazy, and Owen didn't really handle it too well (mom didn't either!). But, details will follow in it's very own post!

I have a lot of things I want to write about....and a TON of pictures. Justin and I finally broke down and bought ourselves a new camera for Christmas (YAY!), so we have some great pictures to post. Owen is growing so fast!! He will be one month old tomorrow - it's so crazy!!!

I am sorry I have dropped the ball with my updates...I am sure you all have been just dying to see pictures of our super adorable son :) Hopefully you will be able to forgive me, if not, then Owen has something he wants to tell you....

Little buddy is finally here!!!!

So, it's been quite a while since my last post. I am so happy to share with you that means Little buddy has finally made his debut into this world!! He was born last Wednesday, December 3rd at 8:25 a.m. Justin and I were totally wrong in thinking were going to have a beast of a baby - he was just a tiny little guy, weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces, and was 19 1/2 inches.

I could go on and on describing him - he is so perfect! I guess that officially means I am a mommy now - doesn't every parent think his or her child is perfect?!?! But, Little buddy really is perfect! He has a ton of black hair that gets really fuzzy when we give him a bath - it is so adorable. He looks like a little baby penguin. He has super long eyelashes that are beautiful. Although I have absolutely no expectations for this to continue - I hear it's referred to as "the honeymoon phase of parenting",and only lasts about two weeks, he sleeps at night in between feedings. He is so PERFECT!!!

There is so much more I want to share about our first week of being parents, but I am going to heed the advice of many and sleep while the baby is sleeping! I promise to do better at keeping up with the blog now that we have a week under our belt.

Oh yeah - the most important part!! Little buddy now has a name! He is officially Owen Glen Myers (although I have a feeling many will call him Little buddy for a while!) :)

Here are some pictures of our little peanut!
