Finally an update!

Its been 2 1/2 months since my little Ayla was born and already so much has happened. My life has changed so much. My son is absolutely IN LOVE with her.




He is such a great and wonderful big brother. He helps me with her and when she starts to cry he runs up to her tires to pick her up and says "I'm coming!" I get sleep some nights more than others, although it never seems to be enough. My husband got promoted so things are slightly easier as far as money goes...still tough though. I finally finished the chenille baby blanket i was making for my Ayla.



She loves it! Whenever I lay her on it she grabs at it and rubs her hand all over the squiggly texture of it , its adorable. My son even loves it, so I'm going to make him one...not with flowers though haha, I definitely have a fabric addiction. I can't decide what I want to use for his, I am making the whole family chenille blankets! Email me if your interested in one, we can work something out, I am going to make them and sell them for $150 because of all the work/hours put into it. Business aside,  I absolutely adore them.

. Lately I am managing to not loose my head. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a zoo...constantly picking up after my kids...kids being my husband and son lol. Speaking of the zoo! We went to one the other day, The Austin Zoo, its a rescue and its wonderful :) We had a blast there:
 My Ayla and her Blanket <3


            My sister and her husband and their kids came! It was so fun! And adorable as they all held each others hands. My heart melted



For the past two weeks I love my alone time. Which I am getting a tiny bit of since I recently joined a gym and I LOVE It. I love working out by myself. I thought I would need a workout partner to help keep me motivated...but having kids is surprisingly GREAT motivation! Hahaha I enjoy my hour and a half to myself. And once my baby is older or I get enough milk saved I will be able to go two and a half hours if I like. My hubby is very supportive :) which is really nice. Don't get me wrong I LOVE being with my kids but being a stay at home mom is not an easy thing. I get frustrated as most moms do. Working out is my outlet. I am in the process ( A very slow process) of making a nice birth video for Ayla and all who wish to see! I am drowning in the clutter of our very small 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment, my birth video is sorta on the back burner behind the boiling pot of clutter that my house has become. It is in fact, overflowing. I am responsible for keeping the house in order...and well, there seems to be no earthly way for me to do this by myself. every time the house is picked up, its destroyed once more by my lovely little Malachi. What is a Malachi you say? Well, he is my son of course! He is the most amazingly intelligent little boy I have ever known. I adore him, but wow, he sure can make messes...but then again, we all contribute to the giant sinkhole of clutter. I even got a book, "The Declutter workbook" I hope it helps...I need me some Niecy Nash from Clean house to come clean my house! HA, We will be moving in April, so I can manage till then...I just wish it would hurry up and get here.
