The First Months!

You always here people say "Parenting is harder than you think!" but, strangely for us, it came so naturally. We just knew how to comfort our son, how to hold him, how to change his diapers, and especially how to love him. I will never love something or someone as strong and pure and whole as I love my son. That's the truest statement I have ever said in my life. Things that I had thought were so important in my life are so petty now compared to being everything my son needs. But let's get back on track...

The first few weeks were all about routine. He slept, he ate, he pooped, we changed him, we bathed him, he slept, he ate, he pooped. Now repeat that 500 times! :) He was/is such a good baby. Hardly ever cries, so happy, and so alert! From the day he was born, he has always been looking at everything with his huge eyes! He pays attention to everything around him, it's truly amazing to watch him watch everything else. He didn't start smiling hardcore until he was about 2 months old, but man since he started he hasn't stopped!! He has the most amazing smile! It's so huge, from ear to ear! And he has HUGE dimples!


 People keep telling me that his dimples will make him such a lady's man when he gets older, so I'll definitely have to keep a lookout for that!! ;)

The Beginning...

Some say "love at first sight" doesn't exist. But I would have to disagree.

Let's backtrack about 5 years ago.

I was 15, sitting in my Biology class on the first day of school for my Sophomore year of high school.

And he walked through the door.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him, and that still hasn't changed. I thought he was a new kid. But everyone else seem to know exactly who he was. He was getting all kinds of attention, but I just sat...and stared. Our teacher called roll, she said "Ashlee Warren." And he raised his hand. All I could think about was Gone With The Wind, and that I had found my Ashlee. I fell in love.

I'm not gonna type every detail that has happened in our relationship since that moment. Like all couples, we had our ups and many many downs. BUT, in the end right after our graduation, he came back to me. When I asked "Why now? Why not in the beginning when I first fell for you?" and he simply replied, "Cause I was a stupid boy. Now we are about to begin our lives, and if I don't get you now, you will get away and forget about me." So...

Here we are now. A little over a year and half since he told me that. We have been together, and so in love. We have built our own life. We have our own home. And most importantly we created life. But I'll get to that in the next post. So that's the beginning. Now, if you want, you can be with us from here on out.
