New Beginnings!

Hello again friends and family!


For those who follow me on facebook, you might have seen that I have now been offered a position at a much LARGER and BUSIER store on the eastside of Jacksonville :) I will now be very close to my husband's office, which will make for some much needed "LUNCH DATES"!!  As many of you know, once there is a baby in the family, the time alone as a couple is few and far between.  I am looking forward to spending this time with my Husband in the middle of our busy days as "SALES PEOPLE"


My son is changing more and more each day.  Yesterday he accomplished two MAJOR milestones - He rolled over from back to front AND held his bottle for the first time by himself.  Auntie Meme watches him all day and is working with him to learn new things everyday!  (Did I mention that we are so blessed to have her in our lives right now?)  The have a routine together and Luke is really doing great without mommy! haha (even though that's hard to say, I wouldnt have it any other way - My sister is my best friend and I know she would give her life for my son!)


Last night was also Daddy's birthday and we went to the Japanese steak house down the street, this was the first time for Mills :)  We had a great time together, despite the wait!


Also, for those who keep an eye on the pictures uploaded to facebook, you will see how much Luke loves to smile.  He is SO happy - I couldnt be happier as a mommy!  He knows he is loved more than anything in this world.  I want him to stay THIS age forever... he is 5 months old and sure he still wakes up in the middle of the night, but he is so SWEET!  When he is sad, all he needs is mommy to hold him and bounce or mommy to hold him and nurse him and EVERYTHING IS OKAY!  I know that there will be one day (very soon) when this wont work anymore... I know that at that time ALL I will want is to hold him and make all of his hurts go away... SO like I said before.... for now I will hug and kiss and SPOIL my little bubby... He is my everything!


until next time,


Mommy P

Happy Valentine's DAY!

Happy Valentine's day 2011 - Dear Friends and Family!

Well, my baby boy turned 5 months yesterday and I still look at him in amazement. I cannot believe that he is MY baby. I always dreamed of having a son, dreamed of being a mommy, dreamed of being the best parent I could be, but no dream could EVER compare to my REAL life now. There are NO words that can truly describe how I feel about being a mommy to my son. (but here's a try)

The ONLY way I can describe my heart when I wake up and see my baby boy, is combining the feeling you get when someone compliments you - with the feeling of winning the highest accolade - with the feeling of hitting the jackpot - with the feeling of laughing so hard your out of breath - and with the feeling of reaching a dream you NEVER thought possible --- ALL ROLLED INTO ONE EMOTION :) ( I know, I know! It seems like im OVER exaggerating but I'm really and truly not) My son keeps me going, when the going gets tough... He gives more meaning to my life than I ever imagined. And my feelings for him can ONLY be described in my description above.

My husband and I have been very blessed, to have my Big sister Millie living with us and watching our son! She loves him with all her heart - and I don't know if I could trust anyone else with him at this age... She can't stand to hear him cry, she makes sure he's fed, taken naps and MOSTLY makes sure he knows he's LOVED.

Okay, well this was a "mushy" post today because it's Valentine's Day and I wanted to make it VERY known to all of my "readers" ;-) how I feel today!

I am the luckiest girl to have my best friend, my soulmate and my love as my husband this Valentines Day - and to top it all off God even gave me a son. (These are the things I think about when I feel like the day is going HORRIBLE)..... Think about your blessings too and you will get through !

Love, Sarah P

I'M BACK :)

Well here I am back on the BLOG! I now have time to post because I am back to work! I will be adding new fun stories to this as they occur. (During down times OF COURSE-which isnt TOO often so this may take a while during the day to post)

So my dear son will be 5 months old on Monday 2/13/11 (also my mothers birthday). I CANNOT believe this lil guy is already 5 months old. I have to say that the first 3 months were the HARDEST months out of all of them - my lil guy was VERY upset most of the time... due to Acid Reflux, gas and who knows what else. I think he needed one more trimester in the womb cause he just wasnt ready to enter this crazy world. It was almost over night that a light clicked above his head :) He didn't need me to hold him all the time, he ate more and better, and slept longer :)

That is a brief summary of the beginning of his life - most of the time (since I was off work) I sat in the glider chair with my baby on my chest - cheek to cheek- and I LOVED IT! We watched movies together, took naps together and mostly BONDED all day together. Some people may say "that wasnt a good idea, you were spoiling that baby" and this is what I have to say to those people "you have your life and you live it the best way you believe- I do the same ;)" My son KNOWS his mommy, he LOVES his mommy and NOONE will ever be able to take that from me. That little boy trusts his mommy more than anyone in the world and I would do anything to keep a smile on that little face.

Until next post... It's lunch time at work - time to pump ;)
