Jayden's 1 month old

Jayden,
I can't believe your a month old already this time has gone by so fast. You have changed so much, your already rolling over from you tummy to your back and I just can't believe it. Thats something that babies usually can't do until they are 4 months old. Your so Smart :) mommy is so proud of you. We have learned so much together already like how to be good parents, and how to survive of VERY little sleep, and how having you has changed my life completely.
I had to pack up your premie and newborn clothes the other day and this made mommy so sad because you have grown up so much so fast, but its so exciting to watch you grow and change :).
I love the cute little faces you pull, and the way you stretch, and I love how you pull up into a ball and stick your cute little bum in the air.
Your daddy loves you so much already, he thinks your gonna be a daddy's girl but he's wrong we'll show him your a momma's girl already :)
Jayden we love you so much and can't wait to watch you grow and change, your our little princess Happy 1 month birthday with many more to come.
Love your mommy

Training... UGH!!!

So for some odd reason I have it stuck in my head that I need to run a marathon so I decide to start with a half... dont want to get in over my head.

I haven't done any aerobic exercise since last June when I got pregnant and recently started my training and WOW am I out of shape, everything hurts and a hardly ran... ha ha ha well actually it was more of a slow jog. But i do have to say I am proud of myself for getting started and now that I have started training all I want to do is keep it up and see that I meet my goals.

To me that's what life is about setting and meeting your goals so:
Goal number 1: Be able to actually RUN a mile in under 9 min.
Goal number 2: Run 10 miles straight in under 2 1/2 hours
Goal number 3: Register for a half marathon in the fall
Goal number 4: after completing the half start training for the Full Marathon

Well that seems to be some good goals for the next year hopefully I will keep my ambitions and complete all these goals... Good Luck to me :)

Jayden is finally here

I arrive to the hospital at 5 a.m. after a sleepless night, anticipating the long day to come. They start the meds to start my labor and at first it was easy... then the contractions start to come harder and more regular. So we decide to do the epidural before they get much worse, I was nervous about this but it wasn't all that bad.

It's 9:30 and they say its time to break my water, im dialated to a 4. Wow that is such a gross feeling for those that have experienced this its GROSS...

Now its noon and something just feels different so I call the nurse in and sure enough im already to a 10 and its time to start pracitce pushing, I'm thinking to myself OH Shit im not ready for this im not ready to be a mom and give up my life for my baby I can't do this take it all back... Then the pressure starts to build and I quickly change my mind and all I want to do it PUSH. So we start to push and the doctor almost missed it all. I pushed a total of maybe 10 times at the most for only 45 min and she was here. Thats when everything changed, and the love I feel for her is there instantly :) Now the real adventure begins, looking forward to the sleepless nights, the crying at all hours, and endless diaper changes. But i feel it will all be worth it, and we may just have another baby someday... I know I know I kept saying she was gonna be my only one but sometimes it takes experiencing something as wonderful as becoming a mommy to change your mind.

Now to all those who have not had kids and are reading this, my labor was unheard of easy for it being my first baby or so im told... Lucky me but I wouldn't expect it for everyone.

I'm off to continue in my adventure of mommyhood... Goodnight

New Year... New Challenges Await Me

So it's a new year and a lot has changed for me and my family over the last 9 months, so I decided with so much changing I would start to blog it all so we can remember the new changes...

Last April I meet my boyfriend James we had an instant connection and I fell for him fast, but I would say he fell for me faster :). In June 09' he moved in with me, in July we found out I was 8 weeks pregnant wow really that wasn't the way I pictured our relationship going.

When I told him he was so excited, I was scared and I didn't know how life could change so fast; but it has. It has been a long 8 months, its been a hard roller coaster of emotions but now that my baby girl is almost here I am so excited to meet her and hold her. It's crazy how much you can love someone that isn't even here yet. And she has so much personality already always waving to the camera and doing her fun dances... but we are all ready for Jayden to be here.

Jayden Rose Pace will be here in the next couple days and we are all so excited to meet her...
Life is a crazy roller coast, can't wait to climb the next hill of life :)
