life update

All I do is blog about and post pictures of my baby. Well here's a post that will have ZERO baby pictures!

Oops!!

But really, life is pretty darn great right now. Sadie is so much fun and everything is more fun with her around.

Nathan is a busy guy like always. It's the busy season at his work and his days are nuts. Then he comes home and does school online. He is loving Berklee College of Music. He is learning so much and really enjoying it. It's so awesome having him home instead of being off at campus. He likes doing home work with Sadie on his lap and she loves to join him. He takes lots of breaks to hang out with us. We really love having him at home.

I am still adjusting to this whole stay-at-home-mommy thing. The other day we were talking about how we can't really even remember what life was like before Sadie when Nathan said, "Well, really, not much about our life has changed since she came." I started laughing hysterically. I said, "Maybe not much about your life has changed, but I have a completely different life. Nearly 100%." And it's true. I used to have a career. I used to be a teacher. I used to sleep the whole night. I used to get dressed in the morning. I used to have boobs that didn't fill up with milk every couple hours. I didn't have a tiny human completely dependent on me for literally everything. My life is sooo different. But awesome. I find myself getting bored sometimes when she's sleeping half the day, but I just remind myself how lucky I am and I to enjoy this time before she starts moving and life gets crazy.

We LOVE our new place. It's so cute. We love the location and the fact that we have a yard. We love our landlords. We love our giant kitchen and grown-up refrigerator. We love having a washer and dryer that actually work. We love not worrying about neighbors below us. We love living in a real neighborhood, not an apartment complex. We love having a nursery to decorate. It's just a great place to be. We are finally all unpacked and it feels like home. We are still in the same ward and still loving it. I am in Young Women's and just adore my little ladies.

We are getting out more and more and feeling completely human again. Nothing like having a baby to turn you into a hermit. The weather has been insane. In a good way. I can't believe it's the middle of December and it was in the 60s on Friday!! We got out first snow yesterday, but it had melted by night time. I think winter will finally show it's ugly head here in the next couple weeks.

Lady is still the prettiest and weirdest cat in the world. She is still adjusting to not getting as much attention and having the weird thing around that cries a lot. She also is adjusting to the new place we live. She is having a kinda hard time, but we're hoping she comes out of it. Luckily, she doesn't resent Sadie at all. She just bites our ankles sometimes to let us know she isn't pleased with all the changes.

We are all decorated for Christmas and are SO excited to be spending the last half of this month with both sides of our family. I haven't seen my dad or little brother since July, so I am really happy to see them and introduce them to Sadie! It's gonna be a wonderful month :)

See, I did a whole post with only one baby picture.
