Hayden is here!

I cant believe that our little boy is here. He was born on January 7th, 2012 at 9:18 pm. The birthing story will follow at a later date when I actually sit down and write it all out.

Our lives have changed so much since he has arrived. Every minute of every day is filled with our little Hayden. He consumes our lives in a good way. I absolutely love being a mom. It is everything that I hoped for and more. I am not saying that everything has been easy but the hard times are made up two fold by the good times. He is my little man.

Things that I love about not being pregnant:

• I am hungry again. I can actually eat and enjoy food without feeling sick. EVERYTHING tastes good again. Its pretty freakin' amazing.
• I can lay on my back again without feeling like a bowling ball is weighing down on all of my organs.
• I am myself again. Tyler tells me all the time that it is nice to have his wife back.
• My hormones are slowly going back to normal. I don't feel like crying every time I get a little upset. I absolutely love this.
• I can see my feet! And bend over! I always took these things for granted until I couldn't do them anymore.
• I can wear pants with buttons.
• I can take REALLY REALLY hot baths and showers.
• I can tie my shoes without having to take a deep breath before venturing to the floor.
• I get to hold my little baby in my arms all day, every day. This is my favorite part about not being pregnant anymore.

Every little aspect about being pregnant was so worth it the second I saw my little baby boy in all of his glory. I love him so much!
