The Gamo's

Today this guy turns 3 years old!

There are no words really, for the amount of love I have him. My life is better, greater, dirty, stinkyer, crazier… The list could go on and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

God’s faithfulness, His love and amazing plan for our lives has never been more clear then on the day he was born.
You’ll never know how much you mean to us baby boy, I love you, I love you, I love you

Owen sings Emery a song

Little bits of today

So yesterday I was headed out the door with Emery in the car seat. We were going for a run/walk at the beach ( mostly walk really, first time post baby) and Ryan had taken the dog for a quick walk before we left.

Well we were ready, so I decided I would put the boys in the car while we waited for Ryan. Me and Owen were playing outside earlier and we have a collection of driftwood on the side of the house. Guess where Owen left a piece?                     I stepped out the door and tripped on the driftwood. In order to protect Emery from the fall I ended up taking the brunt of it, on my face!

Poor O was so concerned and seconds later Ryan came walking back to see me on the floor.

Emery’s fine, I’m fine. I took a frozen bag of peas and put it on my face the rest of the night. Luckily that helped allot of the swelling go down, I was afraid I would wake up with a pretty bruised up face and black eye. The left side of my face is scratched up, but there’s only a little bruising and no black eye.

I would show you a picture of my face, but really it’s not very cute right now and I hardly post pictures of myself anyways. Emery is much cuter, so look at him instead.

Ryan started school last night, he’s gone all day on Wednesdays so he doesn’t get to see the boys.

I’m use to having him around to help at night so we have to learn a new routine when he’s gone.
Before I put Owen to bed last night we hung out in his room, read books and played for awhile. Emery was laying down on his play gym and Owen wanted to lay next to him. He got fussy and started crying. So Owen put his arm around him and said “Don’t cry, it’s ok Owen’s here.

I just about died!
Gosh I love my boys

We have two beautiful boys.

Owen will be three next month, Emery is barely two months.

You would think I’d be saying, gosh this is hard, man I miss sleep, etc…

Well I do miss sleep but I think I can do without it for oh another four years, maybe six. 

Yep I want two more kids, maybe even three. 

This guy is brand new and I’m already thinking of more.

They are just that good!

Really? Already? Two months!!??

Time moves to fast and I realize you still don’t know too much about this wonderful baby boy. 

-His birth was amazing. People kept asking me, now that I’ve had a natural birth how does it compare to one with an epidural and would I do it again. I know they it gets easier each time, so maybe I had that working for me. But really I feel like this was a breeze. The contractions were only really bad going from 7 to 10 cin and that took about an hour. I only pushed for 30 mins, with Owen I pushed for 3 hours. Yes it hurt, but yes absolutely I would do it again.

His birth was awesome, right after his birth is a different story and really wasn’t awesome at all. But I’ll tell that another day.

-He’s already showing so much personality and we think this one will be more like me. Owen is so much like Ryan, a big goofball, loud and just crazy! Emery seems to be quite calm and layed back and sometimes he even seems to be annoyed by Owen’s craziness, haha.  

-The kid sure can eat. He weighed 7.9 at birth, at 5 days he already passed birth weight and at his two month app this week he now weighs 12.13. 

-He has a high pitched cry that’s kinda funny, but also a little sad and when he’s really upset, he snorts. 

He has done nothing really but eat,sleep,burp,poop and be cute. But I love him with this insane love that can never be explained and I am once again shown a tiny glimpse into the insane love that Jesus has for me.

For that I am so thankful

This part

This part that they say goes by to fast, that they say, don’t worry the sleepless nights and endless crying will end soon . I don’t want it to end.

Yes a little more sleep would be nice and I forgot how hard and painful breastfeeding is in the beginning and I would love to finally be over that hump.    But really, please don’t end.

Two months next week, two months!! Though it feels like I just had him yesterday and also like he’s been here forever, all at the same time. I’m so completely in love with my little men and if I could just make time stop for awhile so I can just soak in and adore every little bit of them. It would be oh so wonderful.

That’s my baby, he’s kinda awesome.

This is what life has looked like these days.

I promised myself, by the end of this month I will be blogging on a regular basis, finding the time is just not that easy lately.
