Wow, so it's been a long time since I have updated this thing..

and..

Even bigger wow!
We have a lot of news to share with you all!

First,
Everything has been going well with all of us.
Steven has been working really hard at work and he's doing an amazing job taking care of Landon and me and being the daddy!
:]

Second.
Our little baby boy isn't all so little any more. :[
He's getting so big!
At hour last appointment he was 25 in I believe, and 14 pounds! Biiiig Boy!
He's smiling constantly, and learning who mommy and daddy are, he follows us whenever we walk by him and he talks all the time!
He's just beginning to laugh, he doesn't do it often but he's just beginning to get the hang of it, so we're working on getting the little booger to really get it out! :]
He's in his crib finally.. Setting it up and putting him in it was a lot harder for me than I thought it would be. I cried pretty hard seeing our little boy all snuggled up in his absolutely adorable crib.
Him being a big baby now means no more sleeping and cuddling in bed with mommy, and it made me pretty emotional to realize it. So, its been hard but I'm finally starting to accept it, although I get up like 20 times through out the night to check on him because I'm overly paranoid. So in reality even though he's sleeping so much better now I'm getting even less sleep.
:[ It's hard, definitely, but I'm just starting to get used to it, it's been easier on me having Steven home for five days, but he went back to work tonight, so this is my first night alone in bed with the little guy in his crib... wish me luck!

And for some REALLY big news...but no more important than our little angel..
We're ENGAGED!!! :]
Amazing isn't it!!!! I'm so happy, and so excited to finally start planning our wedding and to begin the rest of our lives together as a married couple :]
He, of course, was so original and romantic, and he picked the absolute perfect ring!
It's beautiful, princess cut three center stones, with four tiny diamonds on both sides, and the band is white gold. It's 1K total weight...super super sparkly and shiny! It's one or two letters away from a perfect stone clarity...My darling fiance had amazing taste and knows how to pick em!!!

This is how he did it..
:]

It all started while we were sitting at home I was rocking Landon in the recliner, and Steven was napping on the couch [or so I thought, apparently he was faking it haha he said he was nervous]. Then his phone rang, what I thought was CDI, was really his mom calling. Since I answered she hung up, and Steven pretended to call work back, all the while she was calling him back. He faked a whole conversation about him having to go into work.. It was his second night off of his five days, and as soon as he "hung up" I of course start bawling because it was the same night we set up Landon's crib, so I wanted him with me that night.
He told me that they only needed him to work on the line and he could be home in an hour or two, or he could be there all night...needless to say, I was very upset.
So he tried to calm me down and told me that even though he was going to be at work, he still wanted me to go over to his parents for dinner.
Of course I agreed, so I drove over there, and talked to his mom for a bit, she told me how his dad used to get called in to work all the time..and that made me feel a little better..
And she kept getting calls from "sarah" who was really Steven giving her a play by play...Then he called me..he said to make it more believable, and told me he was going to be there til 130.
haha his mom said she wanted to smack him for doing that to me.
Any way, she started dinner, and I was sitting on the couch holding Landon and Brendan came into the living room.
He asked if I had been watching the Office lately and asked if I could go home and get a season so we could watch it that night.
I really didn't care since I was in such a bad mood, so I had him watch Landon and I left to get it..
I walked in the door and there was Steven, standing there with candles surrounding him..I cried the second I saw him.
I couldn't believe he pulled that whole thing off.
He said he knew me so well that he knew it would work.
He parked on the other side of the apartment complex because he knows I only go one way instead of the other to go home haha.
So it really was an amazing night..and I had him home!!! :]
So yay! We're engaged!!!!
So starting probably tomorrow I'm going to get started planning everything!!
I'm so excited, and so happy, and so very much in love.

So yes, its been a long crazy weekend!

Daddy unfortunately had to go back to work tonight.
But luckily I have the day off tomorrow! Woo!
SO now the babay and I are going to watch American Idol..GO KRIS AND ADAM!
:]

Then its off to beddy bye.

This one is for you...

Mama Comstock!
:]

We're at the Comstock residence and since we're bummin the internet on the laptop off them, I thought, in honor of Mama Comstock (Because she checks it everyday :] ) I would finally update this thing.

It's been pretty crazy at times at our little casa.
Steven's been working a lot, too much if you ask me. :[
Landon is getting huge! He's definitely three times his size already.
And it's funny, when I'm holding him, he seems huge, it makes me want to cry because he was so tiny just a few days ago, but when Steven holds him, he still looks soooo small, and it makes me feel a little better.
And, drumroll please...
Landon is now one month old!
It feels like only yesterday we were bringing him home.
And now he is one month and one week to be exact.
And another drumroll pretty please, the little angel face is smiling!
:] By far the cutest and stweetest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
It still brings tears to my eyes. And I spend endless hours everyday trying to get him to smile.

I would spend all day writing about his smiles, but my hands would get tired! haha

So on to other news,
Next monday, March 2nd...I go back to work. :/
Six weeks already. Time has definitely flown by.
I'm not looking forward to it, but at the same time, I kind of am.
I'm ready to get out of the house for a few hours a day, but I am so dreading leaving my baby boy behind.
I haven't been away from him for longer than an hour since he was born, unless you count the hours that I'm sleeping. haha Dumb joke.
But yes, I'm going to be a part time working mama.
At least when I work (6am..yuck) Steven will be home.
So I feel better knowing my little guy is home with daddy and not a stranger.

Right now he's sleeping on the couch, and I still find myself trailing off and watching him sleep.
Never thought I'd feel a love like this. Its amazing, and I can't wait to have more and feel this all over again.
I've always said that I only wanted two kids, but after having this little angel baby bless my life, I'm starting to rethink that. :]
A few more wouldn't be so bad, I suppose.




Hi mom!
:]

Catching up

Wow, it's been a while!
We've been without internet for a few days, so I haven't had a chance to update. And I've been itchin too!

So everything is going well with our little angel.
He's still the perfect baby!

We greatly enjoyed our week off with daddy!
Although, is definintely went by waaaay too fast!
He has a day off tomorrow and mommy and daddy are going on a date
:]
I'm very excited.

Gosh, it's been so long I can't even really remember all that has gone on..

We went to Alexander's First birthday party!
He's getting so big! :[ I remember the first time I met him, and he was about Landon's size.
I'm so not looking forward to him getting big!

Wow, I'll have to get ahold of my brain and come back and update. I'm seriously at a loss for words right now haha

And Landon is waking up to eat anyway.

So I'll be back!

Check up

So yesterday the little guy had a doctor's appointment for his 2 week check up.
Two weeks!!! My goodness..can you believe it? Already two weeks old.
It feels like just yesterday we came home from the hospital!
Anyway, he's doing very very well.
He weighs 7 pounds 15 ounces.
And he is 23 inches.
:]
He's a growin boy!!

He's already getting so big!

Tonight is Daddy's last night of work for five days!
:]
I'm so excited we have almost a whole week together.
We need the time together, it's so hard to be away from each other for so long.
Daddy and Landon need some time alone together too.
So I'm going to make my hair appointment, which is needed too, and Daddy and Landon are going to spend a few hours together.
Steven's been telling me how he can't wait until I go back to work and he has a few hours alone with Landon everyday, so he can see what I get to do everyday.
I know it sounds bad, that he can't wait until I go back to work.
But I know where he comes from. It's hard for him not to be with his son all day.
I want him to have the alone time too.
I can't wait until he gets home!!!
:]

:[

This is the worst part of my day..
Steven just left for work..

And as it is now routine, I've already begun looking for things to keep myself busy.
We spent the whole afternoon snuggled up together on our new recliner, and let me tell you, letting him leave after being like that all day is even harder than usual.
I was telling him how I wished we could make a robot clone of him, so it could go to work and he could stay home!
I think it's a pretty good idea, and I may even start planning to make it come true haha.

The only good thing about him being gone at work is that I have some time to myself to plan our anniversary/valentine day dinner night.
I'm not exactly sure what to make for dinner yet, I want it to be something really nice.
And I can't really go into detail, because Steven reads this. :]
But our night, I will make sure of it, will be a very romantic and loving night.
I want to show him that we can still be romantic and have a nice evening with a newborn...because Landon is so very hard to take care of haha

So now is the time to begin looking through my awesome cook books that I got for Christmas for good recipes.

Little Lando is knocked out on the couch.
I love that he sleeps so well, it gives me lots of time to get things done.
I can actually take a nice long shower, which a lot of new moms have told me that the first year they never had a shower longer than 15 minutes.
I can straighten my hair, and cook and basically do everything I was able to do before we had him.
The only thing I can't do, is just leave the house on a whim. That does have to be planned a little.
But he is so worth it.

I'm really excited for our anniversary.
It'll be one year.
Hard to believe.
We've been through so much together, and have had so many firsts together.
It doesn't even feel like it's been a full year..It feels like just last week we were going on our first date to Monterey.
I am so happy to be spending the rest of my life with such a wonderful and caring man. ♥

Love

My love is amazing.

How many men can surprise the woman they live with with a birthday gift?
My man can!

:]


I don't know how he does it.
I had no idea.

As we were saying good-bye at the car when he was leaving for work, he told me he thought he left the bedroom light on.
So when I went to the room to turn it off, I saw a card propped up on the stereo.
He bought it, wrote the most amazing letter in it and set it in the room all without me ever having a clue.

It was beautiful, and without a doubt it had me sobbing.
:]


I'm so in love with him.

Birthday

Today is my birthday!!
:]
Understandably it was overshadowed by Little Lando's birthday haha
Which duh...why wouldn't it be?!
But anyway, yes, I am 19 today!
One step closer to 21 people! haha

I got my gifties from my mama earlier in the week because I wouldn't be able to see her today. :[
But she got me all kinds of nifty gifties, and I loved them all.
My shampoo and conditioner is amazing..smells like coconut. My favie scent! :}
And she got me these candle holders that I've been looking for forever and some yummy apple cinnamin scented candles to put in them.
I love my mommy! She always gets the best gifts for me. She knows me so well.

Last night we went over to mama and papa Comstock's house-a-roo for the best chili and cornbread dinner, and the best cheesecake for dessert (Homemade I might add).
I got to pick dinner because it was my birthday dinner, which on any other occasion I would've thrown a fit having to pick. I have issues with picking things :] I much prefer Steven to pick something for us. But, I had a craving for that chili so it was very easy for me to pick.

Nathan drew me adorable pictures.
One was of a Gingerbread man.
Another was of a Gingerbread man, but it was cut out.
And the Last was of him playing with his pixo's.
That kid kills me. He is just too cute, and so thoughtful for a 5 year old.
He just loves to give, he's going to be an amazing man when he grows up!
Mom and Dad taught him well, as with all of the other kids as well. :]
Oh, and I got a huge bag of Starburst from him too!
Thanks Nathan!!!!

Brendan got me my favorite candy ever.
Ferrer Roche.. It may be my favorite candy, but I have NO idea how to spell it.

And Mom got me a gift card to my favorite salon Renaissance. :]
She wanted to buy me something that could only be used on me, because she knows me all to well, and if had been a gift card to anywhere else, it most definitely would not be spent on me.
I would much rather use it to get Landon something or Steven something.
So thank you very very much!
I really needed a nice hair cut, and I never would've spent the money on myself to do it.
I really appreciate it.
♥


And this morning, we had breakfast at my parents house.
We were late.. :[
But breakfast was very very good.
And it was so nice seeing my family again.
My parents got Landon the cutest onsie, beanie, and booties. They have the Sharks team logo on them.. They're too big now, but I can't wait for him to wear them.
They got me a gift card to Bath and Body Works.
Which I'm very excited for.
I've been wanting to get this perfume that is Japanese Cherry Blossom.
Favorite flower...amazing scent.
But again, I wouldn't have spent the money on myself otherwise.

Steven's out of the shower now, and we have some time before he has to get ready for work, so I'm gonna go cuddle with him and my little angel baby in bed before I have to oh so sadly say goodbye to my love.
:[
I hate when he leaves for work.
I hate when he leaves anytime.
