My First Blog

Well here I am joining the blogging world. We will see how this all goes! Just a little more about myself. My husband and I have a one month old little boy, Cole. He has changed our entire world for the better. He is such a blessing and now couldn't imagine not having him in our lives. Now that we have him I have given up my career (for now at least) at a hairstylist. I still enjoy doing it for friends and family and may go back full time or part time one day. But for now I'm going to enjoy my time watching our little boy grow up and provide daycare out of our home for other families. It's somthing I am looking foward to doing. I have worked in daycares and initially was going for elementary education in school. So this is nothing foreign to me and can't wait to spend my days with little ones.

So many say that motherhood is the best thing. I'm still trying to figure it all out! I honestly never thought it would be this hard to adjust and get accustomed to a different life. Like I said above I couldn't imagine not having Cole, but this is the biggest and hardest adjustment I have EVER had to make. Each day it gets better and better, but we still have a long way to go. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate them. No one really warns you for how hard it will be at first and things to help adjust. These babies don't come with books on how to work them or anything. It's very frustrating, especially with Mike's work schedule I am pretty much on my own all day. It gets to be a long day come the evening time.

And that makes me think of Mike's work. We are fortunate that he does have a job, I am aware of that. However we don't really get to see much of each other. He normally leaves the house about 9 in the morning and gets home about 9 at night. Once he gets home Cole is normally in bed already and I wait up to see him and say hi then off to bed I go. It takes a toll on both of us. Again I know we are fortunate he is employed, but we both feel torn and frustrated.

Boy I sure do have a lot of frustrations, huh?! I'm trying to look on the bright side of things but sometimes it's not easy. Once this weather gets much nicer it will be nice to get outside, but it's been so windy and Cole shouldn't be out in that.

Ok well that's the first blog. Sorry I probably bore some of you, but hopefully things will start getting more interesting.
