Finally a post from Lainie

So it seems like I am always waiting for the perfect opportunity to blog, you know when Gavin is soundly sleeping, and the house is perfectly clean, and I've worked out, and played with Allie and read my scriptures, and don't feel guilty about whatever else I have on my "to do" list. But since having little "G" that time has not come, and I don't think it's going to. The house is a mess, Allie is sitting right by me with her ball, hoping I will play with her, and I there are a million things I should be doing, but Gavin is asleep, so it's now or never!
So I just have to say how much I love being a Mom. Piper texted me, while I was in labor, and said "How does it feel to know in a few hours you'll actually be someone's Mom? Probably a little painful at this point, lol, but by tomorrow you won't be able to remember what life was like before" boy was she wrong, I totally remember going to bed when I wanted, and eating food when it was warm, and not having to carry the laundry and a baby at the same time....
But I wouldn't change any of it, because I honestly can't imagine living the rest of my life without my little buddy, who knew you could feel so much love? It's such an adventure, watching him grow and learn, and seeing yourself and your husband change into parents, who now talk about how many messy diapers he's had today, and what they looked like, and when did he last eat. Who would have thought me and Cody could have so much fun just staring at our little boy and laughing at every funny face he makes. And you should see Cody as a Dad, I mean you all know him and how great he is, but Gavin adores him! Today at church Gavin was sitting on my lap and looked over and saw Cody and just grinned at him until he got his attention.
I've been back to work now for a couple of weeks and it really hasn't been too hard, because luckily Cody is able to watch him while I'm at work. It's a lot eaiser to leave him knowing he's with someone who will love and care for him the same way I would. He's totally become Mr. Mom, it's so cute how proud he is to be Gavin's Dad. He is crazy busy with school and work and Gavin, but somehow he does it all.
So this blog is kinda turning into one of those cheesy blogs that make it sound like I'm trying to make everyone think I have this perfect life, don't get me wrong, we're way sleep deprived and as mentioned earlier who knows if my house will ever be as clean as I'd like it again, but we are a very happy little family!
