Day 408 Of A Better Me :)

Who knew life with a new born would be so chaotic?  I don't remember this with Dylan, I always had "free" time when he was a wee little pickle head.  Maya is much more demanding than he ever was.  Maybe she is how most babies are and I just got lucky with Dylan?  Who knows!

All I know is that I haven't had time to blog in WEEKS as you can so obviously see.

Maya is huge now.


And so beautiful its nuts!

I have started exercising again and taking pictures and measurements... hopefully in a few more weeks I can post some obvious transformation pictures and stats!  :)  Excited!

339 Days

My oh my, what can change in a year is almost mind boggling.  I actually started this blog last year on, Friday, September 30th. And in those 365 days my entire life changed from amazing to better than I could have ever imagined.

After giving up last September, and realizing that another child was not in our cards I started college online at DeVry University.

By October I was a full-time student finally pursuing my dream of becoming an Architect.

November rolled around and I had started taking amazing care of myself and my body, and started the Insanity workout with Rafal.  I was eating healthy and getting in crazy shape.  I remember one day Rafal came home and said how great I was looking and that was even MORE motivation to keep up the hard work.  Thanksgiving was spent with our dear friends Veronica and her whole family.  We got our Christmas tree and made cookies.

December was full of excitement as we found out we were EXPECTING! I have never been so excited in my entire life.  We traveled to TN and surprised our family with our exciting news. Spent NYE with the Ski family and had a great time!

January and February were full of morning sickness and hormones.  Not exactly fun.

March Dylan turned 4 YEARS OLD! Holy cow I can't believe it!

April Rafal turned 24, I can't believe he is still such a baby, two years younger than me, thats nuts!

May, June and July revolved around packing and moving and nesting.

August our baby girl Maya Riley made her debut.

September I started back up at school.

And, here we are, October, a year later... In 365 days I got pregnant, and had a baby.  How exciting!!

320 Days [My Month in Pictures]

Well, since being a mom of TWO seems to be so much more demanding than just being a mother of one... I seem to have neglected my blog for nearly a month, even after stating I hoped to blog at least once a week.  *sigh*  Due to homework overload and diaper overload that hasn't happened.  SO in order to catch you up quickly, here is our month of September in pictures :) It's a whole bunch of FIRST's in the world of Maya-licious!
