My lil peanut

As you know my little boy was born at 29 weeks and weighed 1 pound and 15 ounces... His birthday was Tuesday and I couldn't be more proud of my lil guy..

He is still a skinny thing but he's healthy and active.... I read posts on Facebook of how their baby's are so chunky and gaining so much weight and makes me lil jealous... I know ..Silly as that sounds.... I would want him to be chunky but He's skinny but he's healthy..he has come such a long way.. It just bothers me when I get weird looks when I tell people how old he is...but then when I tell them how much he weighed at birth I get a dif look... I am proud of you emmitt no matter of you don't meet the weight , I love you no matter what 

Dear single me

Things I should of known and appreciated more when I was single and didn't have a baby:

1. Enjoy going to bathroom by yourself 

2. Enjoy being messy ... 

3. Enjoy taking quiet car rides and by yourself driving to no where ... 

4. Enjoy combing your hair , shaving your legs,brushing your hair and doing your make up ... 

5. Enjoy going out with your friends and getting cute

6. Enjoy sleeping late and having the whole bed to yourself 

All these things will change.. 

Instead of going to bathroom by yourself your lil baby will follow you . Wants to be where you are... He loves you and adores you and will put his arms up just so you mommy will give him a hug....

You can't be messy because you love your hubby and baby and want to take care of them. Even thou your not a great cook

No more quiet rides because when you listen to music your baby will sing a long baby singing...or your baby will cry and cry until you get him out of the car and he will smile so big at you

Many days you will be stuck in your Pjs bc those are your cleaning days or your baby wasn't feeling well or just having to much fun to care if you didn't brush your hair.

You still go out with friends but it's not the same bc all you think about is your baby and your husband so you don't stay out that long

Your now a morning bird and share the bed with your baby and husband.. Somehow baby ends up in bed... You and your hubby sleep on the edge...

Being single has it's pros I do miss some of those things and could add a lot more to that list.. Even thou they all sound great but I wouldn't trade it for the world... I love my husband and my baby . They are my world :) 

Green juice

Had the worst stomachs ache after eating fast food ... I have never had that bad if ache from eating a burger ... No more fast food for me.. Stomachs hurt for 2 days.. Worsted pain ever.. So my husband made me a green juice this morning : 

And it was delicious... It had pineapple , cucumber, apples ... That I could taste he might of thrown something else in there... I could never be on a juicing diet.. My husband every now and then will be.. I can't have a juice without eating something.. I don't like feeling hungry and I feel if I drink juice all day I won't be so nice .. I'm not nice when I'm hungry.. But I do like the juices he makes.. Not so much carrot.. But I do feel better after drinking it... So no more fast food for me; it's not so nice to my belly

#tbt Facebook

Today is throw back Thursday on Facebook.. Newsfeed filled with photos of people when they were younger with goofy haircuts and not so stylish clothes. Pictures filled with memories ... And yes I have done this and today I have.. I posted a photo when I first held my little baby.. 

I got this photo off the blog my husband made for our emmitt .. Because emmitt was born so early he had to spend 70 days in the hospital .. This is the blog my husband made http://bit.ly/babyemmitt he took a photo of our son every day.. 

First day my babe was born.. So tiny, so fragile... Looking at these pictures make me feel so grateful that I have my little bubba and how far he has come.. Its crazy how much I love him .. We never missed a day at the hospital either we would sleep there or wake up early to seem him..  So many sleepless night..It was all worth it.. I love my baby

Huggies vs pampers

When my little one was born he used preemie pampers , he didn't wear them for long bc their very small even for preemies ... He soon wore preemie huggies, when he came home I stuck to huggies that I got from his baby shower.. Soon ran out and started to use pampers- swaddlers. I soon noticed my emmitt was getting a rash but started to look like a burn.. Started getting bigger and bigger... So quit using them and put him in huggies all natural and used ad ointment soon went away In couple of days...  So then I strictly used huggies... Huggies can be expensive .. About 4 months later I still had pampers from baby shower but they were baby dry so I tried using those.. No burn no rash.. But didn't want to spend money buying pampers... Soon ran out of my supply so started by non brand diapers from publix or target... Those worked great but not for over night diapers... Huggies are the best for over night diapers... I have to say huggies Are the best haven't tried luvs yet I heard they are cheap and have no issues.. That will be the next diaper I try.. 

Not done kale...

Because of my obsession with kale I tried these: 

To be honest I was a little dissatisfied ... Didn't taste like kale more like peanuts .. They were small just fell apart in your hand... Not very happy about my kale tonight I just stick to making it myself 

1 lb and 15 ounces

Yes, that's how small my lil baby was when he was born... Emmitt was born 2 months early and doctors are still not sure why he came early.. He was at hospital for 70 days.. The longest 70 days of our lives... He came home with no issues .. He is now around 14 pounds 

Still a skinny thing but so happy and healthy... I am so In Love with this boy and so thankful for the god I serve.. This boy was surrounded by so much prayer and is testimony of gods faithfulness.. 

Today I was at Ross and I overheard these lady's conversation .. One of the lady's asked how her grandson was doing and her response was he is finally 2 pounds.. I could hear the fear and stress in her voice .. Brought back how I felt the first couple days with emmitt ..I turned around with emmitt on my hip and shared emmitts testimony and to not give up and I will pray for her little one bc emmitt had a lot of prayer and is a testimony of it.. She thanked me and said  emmitt and I encouraged her..

Had so many wires and tubes... Such a scary time in my life but I held on to god and knew I would be taking this boy home .. 

Emmitt is a tough little guy and has come so far... So in love with this boy
