So, Thursday night was the season finale of Ugly Betty.  For the most part it was really good. I thought at the end when Matt became Betty’s boss was weird, and I don’t think that I like that very much. I also didn’t like his weird little attitude when he was telling her…Whatev.  I won’t go into too much more detail about it all since I think some of you may havent watched it yet, and I don’t want to spoil the Betty goodness for ya.

I Love this show. Since my Mom has been here with me I’ve made her watch it with me and now she love’s Ugly Betty as well. It’s so quirky and just a fun little show. How could you not enjoy it?!

Hands down, I would have to say that my favorite character on the show is Amanda! Her character seriously cracks me up.

If you don’t already watch Ugly Betty, you should really start!

Yesterday I decided would be my first day of exercise since Milo. I was not expecting to be so out of shape. I took Milo for a walk and was totally sweating and was having some asthma. So, it didn’t go so well.

It’s disappointing looking in the mirror! Right before I got pregnant I was seriously in the best shape of my life. I think the journey back to that is going to be longer than I expected…

I know I said I don’t want to do a bazillion baby blog posts but today is the exception to the rule for me….

Today my Baby is 1 month old. It’s crazy how the time goes by. It kind of sucks to be honest. I want him to get older cause I can’t wait for all the fun stuff to experience with him but at the same time I am seriously going to miss these newborn days. They are so special. I was so scared to become a Mom. I didn’t know what kind of Mom I would be and I think a natural fear for a lot of first time Mommies is that they are going to be a bad parent. I think the absolute biggest complement I’ve received from a few people is that being a Mother has came very easy to me, and that I just have the mothering instincts. That really meant a lot to me to hear. It’s definitely not the easiest job and even though he’s just a helpless little guy he can work over your nerves pretty good at some points, especially when you’ve slept for like three hours out of a possible 24!

The ten minutes leading up to the actual starting of the c-section were honestly the scariest 10 minutes of my entire life time. I was terrified of everything and couldn’t stop crying. And it was worsened because the one person who can make everything better for me and comfort me (mercer) was not allowed in the room until literally right before they cut into me.  It’s crazy how fast I forgot about how petrified I was of everything. As soon as I saw him I felt complete in a way I never experienced before…All of the wretched shit you sometimes endure during pregnancy and the severe level of discomfort near the very end, the scariness of receiving surgery (while you are awake!) and not to mention the recovery from it all, it was totally worth it. I would endure it all a hundred times over to get my little Milo. He’s worth it. 

I cannot believe that a month has already gone by. He changes daily and is getting bigger constantly. My Mother has been staying with us since his arrival to help me out and get used to things with him. She leaves on the weekends to give us (mercer, Milo, and I) family time together and when she comes back on Monday’s she can’t get over how much he has changed in that two day period. 

He’s adorable and makes me happier than anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s so crazy to me that I used to NEVER want children. Seriously, it was kind of an issue for a minute. I’m so glad that I changed my mind about that decision. Being Milo’s Mom is my favorite thing, well it’s tied with being Mercer’s wife. 

Even though I have a lot of things going on it life that I don’t like and wish could be different I still think my life is absolutely perfect and that’s all thanks to Milo Jake Hawks. =)

My Little Monkey Milo

We were at Walmart over the weekend and I came across this awesomeness. The Doctor in there vision center. I had to snap a picture…
