Let's get started

So.... I have been wanted to start a blog for awhile now, but never really knew where to begin? I'm going to start at the beginning, the beginning of the Mommy Hood.

It all started about 4 1/2 years ago on a beautiful sunny day. April 10, 2006 to be exact. My Little Boy was born that day. From the moment I laid eyes on him I was in love. He came out all purple and blue(the cord had been tightly wound around his little neck) but to me, he was the most beautiful baby to ever exist. A few moments later he did pink up and then, he was the most beautiful baby that ANYONE had ever seen.  I know, I know, all mothers think that their baby is the most beautiful but trust me, mine was!

I had a ton, and I do mean a ton of experience with babies and children. I had been a partial live in nanny for over 5 years. So I would have no problems when it came to my own baby right? Wrong! This was different! This baby was MINE, well, mine and Mr Fun's. This was scary and new, I was in a constant state of panic. Was he OK? Was I a good enough mother? What if he got sick? What if I got sick? Who would care for him? So yes, even though this should have been a piece of cake it was hard and I was scared. But this phase didn't last forever. Soon I realized that I was pretty good at the whole Mommy thing. The only problem with this was that I felt I was the only one capable of talking care of my Little Boy. Sorry Mr Fun,  but back off, this is Mothers work. SO, I did it all myself, the nighttime feedings(I was breastfeeding so what could anyone else do anyway?) the diaper changes, the clothing changes, all the rocking, and the holding! When it came to my Little Boy I was a bit of a control freak! I was exhausted! All you new Mommies out there, take help, and let the dads in on the action! I have gotten slightly better over the years! OK, OK, I'm  not much better, but that Little Boy is still my baby!

Now, My sweet Little Boy is almost 5!!!!!!!! I can't believe it?! Where did the time go? I must say that Mr. Fun and I have done a great job! My Little Boy is sweet and compassionate and very, very funny (I think he gets that from me )!!!
Almost 5 is a hard, but wonderful age for  Mommies, well this Mommy anyway! I kinda take the back seat to, who else, Mr Fun!!!! Don't  get me wrong My Little Boy loves me! when he is not feeling well, or is hurt it's Mommy that he wants.  I think it makes it so difficult for me,  because for the first 3 years of his life it was Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! Only I could put him to sleep, only I could read him books, only I could kiss his ouchies! But now,  it's Mr fun! Mr. Fun walks in the door and My Little boy squeals with delight, It's Daddy Time! I can't really blame him, Mr . Fun is pretty great! He is always up for playing, even after he has worked all day! He has the patience I only wish I had. He is sweet, and loving to his Little Boy, and when I'm not jealous of the bond he and our Little Boy share, I'm falling more in love with him! I will admit there are times when I wish I could be Miss Fun and he could be, as I am sometimes called, a Meanie. I am sometime portrayed as the bad guy. I'm the one who is always telling  My Little Boy, to brush his teeth, eat his food, stop jumping off the couch, go to bed, Turn off the TV, No More DS, Take your vitamins etc etc... But you Know what? It is what it is! I Love Mr. Fun and Our Little Boy, and I can't wait to add to our growing family with the the Little Bambino growing inside me!
The Mommy Hood isn't always easy but I'm so glad to be a part of it!
