life lately

life has definitely changed for brandon and i over the past year...

sometimes its really difficult to get used to

having a baby changes everything...as you probably could guess ;)

here are some of the big differences in our lives

eating out

then: fun, frequent, easy, relaxing, eating at the bar

now: quick depending on the level of crying, large amounts of stuff to bring, oh and table for three?

showers

then: ...lets face it, i'm not the type of person to shower everyday

gasp all you want...i'm just not

now: however....showers now are precious, time to self,  its wonderful

but still definitely not daily

 don't worry brandon showers daily since he is in the working world!

smells...

then: probably shouldn't go there

now: still probably shouldn't go there

weekends

then: sleeping in was rarely an option with bran (who wakes up at 5 on a saturday!)

now: mom! dad! it's 7 and i'm hunggggryyyyy!!!!

clutter

then: cookbooks, socks, cookbooks, cooking magazines and did i say cookbooks?

now: burpcloths, play mat, activity saucer, burpcloths, toys, burpcloths

leaving the house

then: gather everything, leave...two seconds later come back grab what you forgot

now: gather everything, change outfits full of spit up, leave...come back two seconds later, change again, grab what you forgot, leave...come back again, grab more of what you forgot with a possible third outfit change...

it's crazy but we love it

its becoming the new norm :)

it will probably all change again...once parker becomes mobile :)
