New name, Same old me

Ok so its been three years... I believe this is what is known as suicide in the blog world. None the less I am back! Whooty Whoot! So to pick up where we left off, the boy is 5!! How in Gods name did that happen so fast! Nick and I are running a successful photography business and life is pretty awesome! Now that the name has changed what will I be blogging on. Well I'm not sure. Probably a little politics because who can resist bad mouthing TRUMP. My sweet boy and the struggles as we try to conceive another sweet addition.

Finally: The Birth Story

Where to start? Well for the stories that lead up to this story check out the previous posts: Getting there  , The first day of the rest of my life  & The Story .

It was taking to long for my eggs to grow to the correct size we even had to draw out the treatments a few more days which meant buying 3 of the Gonal-F pens at 900.00 bucks a pop.

(hence the title of the post and the one handed typing that has become habit.) I hope to be able to post my/his birth story soon, I need more than five min and more than one hand. :) In the mean time lets just say it was long, and used alot of drugs! So lets start where we are, my Connor-bear or CB (as I will refer to him in this blog) is a month old. It's amazing to me how fast time goes by. I would always hear other parents say this and always thought they were full of it, now I know that this is the truth. So lets hit the stats shall we? Eye Color: steel blue Hair: Full head, straight and dark brown Length: 23 in Weight: 7.7 pounds Milestones: Smiles, some head control, can almost roll over. Sleep: between 2-3 hours, sleeps best in Mom or Dad's arms. Breast Feeding...
