It's been a long time...

Hello Again... It's been so long since I shared anything here. I was a bit surprised to see that I even remembered the password. Lately, I have been visiting tons of blogs checking out all sorts of recipes, decor ideas and the daily ongoings of random people and their offspring. Since I'm on materity leave (yay! more about that in a few) I have tons of "time" on my hands to update. Anyone that has been on maternity leave before knows just how much of an oxymoron, for lack of a better word, that is. A few days after my last post, I found out I was pregnant. A beautiful surprise to say the least. I gave birth to a baby boy in November of 2010. Who would of thought we would need a baby sitter for our first anniversary? I always wanted my children close in age and I'm blessed enough to have gotten that wish. Which leads me to my current maternity leave. I recently gave birth to my second son this past August. When it came to having children I had a slight wish list. Sounds crazy, I know, but I can honestly say the list is complete. I wanted boys....CHECK.... I wanted them pretty close in age(less than two years apart)....CHECK... and I wanted them by the time I reached my 30th birthday...CHECK (my bithday is in November). Actually typing that makes me feel a little vain considering all that some women go through to conceive.. and reading a few recent blogs has made me realize this even more. Having been diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago,I thought it would be so hard for me to get pregnant. In fact, I tried to prepare myself, as much as anyone can, for that time. But I had NO problems getting pregnant. My first pregnancy was a surprise, a welcomed one, but a surprise nonetheless. This may be too much info but, I breastfeed for well over a year and didn't get a period for 11months (oct). I was pregnant with my second soon after that one cycle. In fact, I think I may have been misdiagnosed, but that's a whole other story. We also purchased a house this past May and I have been trying my best to make this house a home. I guess that's as much of a general update as I have for now. I plan to update the numerous projets I have planned. The plethora of before and after pictures on random blogs has truly inspired me. And as I plan my son's 2nd birthday party I will have lots of DIYish elements.(perhaps not nearly as creative as the random blogs)
