MY EPIC (not really) RETURN!!!!!!!

     Hello everyone!!!!! *waves excitedly* I hope all has been well. I know the big question, for those of you who aren't friends with me on Facebook, will be "Where did you go?" So much time has passed and to be completely honest, I got to a point where I was contemplating picking this back up. I often pondered if attempting to play catch up would just come off as annoying. In attempt to keeping this post to a somewhat reasonable length, for the time being i'll just issue the cliff notes version. I'll later expound on past experiences as I know I will more likely than not touch on them at a later date. Now with that being said, I AM NOW A MOMMY! *\(^_^)/*

    My husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl in the beginning of 2015. So yeah, I admit I took an additonal year to attempt to grab the reins of parenting. It's been challenging yet very rewarding. I'm sorry if that came off cliche' but it's the truth and we're having so much fun. I also implement, to the best of my ability, healthier food options for the family. She loves fruits and veggies! I jokingly say that for my first trimester she turned me vegan because if I ate anything that wasn't plant based, with the exception of rice and garlic, it was NOT staying down. Now the second trimester was a different story. At this point I believed that my husband's genes really started kicking in because I was addicted to pepperonis! (>_<) I'm just glad everything mellowed out during the homestretch.

     So how has my health been you ask? To be honest a bit of  a roller coaster. *chuckles* What I will say for now is that I am blessed. I've gone from hearing a doctor say "Well if you haven't gotten pregnant by now, you probably can't." to getting an amazing, healthy, surprise with poofy cheeks. All the bumps in the road that I've had to endure were absolutely worth it. (^_^) You know, sometimes I stare at her and will still turn to my husband and say "I can't believe she's real. She's actually here!" He then will reply with an overly exaggerated  "YES SHE IS!" while giving the biggest smile. So much so that he'll turn red. During this time of course our little one is just staring at us like "What are you two doing? You guys are being weird again. Oh look Veggie Tales is on! Never mind you two, as you were." *sighs* Oh man she really has no idea just how weird we can be. The thing is, if she's even remotely like me, the goofy gene will most definitely kick in. You guys, it's great to be back! Until next time.
