In my head I've been considering December my month to get back on track. I'm not huge, uncomfortable and pregnant anymore. Baby has arrived and we are starting to get a normal day down. We are getting some sleep now. I'm re-inspired to work on our house. I am cooking meals for my family again. I'm not huge and pregnant anymore… did I already say that? Ya'll don't understand how important that statement is. My husband has made the comment more than once (ummm at least 5 times) that he is "so glad I'm not pregnant anymore". Do not mistake that for I was cranky, sleep deprived, didn't feel like cooking anything, couldn't effectively clean our house, couldn't effectively care for our toddler and/or didn't feel like giving him any attention. Or, you could take it to mean all of those things and you might be right. I wonder why he is telling me no when I say I want to have another baby?? Maybe by next year he'll forget what pregnant me is like in the last trimester. I'm pretty awesome the first two trimesters if I say so myself.
Now that all of the above is over and we now have our amazing son, I am reinvigorated and ready to rejoin society and my family! I didn't realize just how exhausted and unmotivated I was until baby arrived and I looked around with new eyes and a realization that we are so extraordinarily blessed and I can't wait to experience our family of four.

I can't get over this little boy's lips!! He is so smoochable and better get used to lots of kisses. Hopefully just from family until he is like, 18. Then, only by pre-approved southern ladies. I'll define my definition of southern lady at a future date.
Even Miss Ann "loves her brudder". She really does and I am RELIEVED by how sweet she is to him. Only downside is she loves a little hard. As in, pokes, tickles and lays on him. I'm struggling to teach and scold without ruining her affection for him. She doesn't quite understand but in a few short months he'll be tougher and can take some of her lovin' a little better.
Meet Mr. John Silas Teeter. We are going with the good ol' double name and calling him John Silas. Named after his Daddy and great grandfather. Stats on this chunk of love: Born on November 15th at 5:15 in the evening weighing in at 8 lbs 9 oz and 21" long. I'm sure he has surpassed his birth weight since he eats like there is no tomorrow. I'm a slave to him already… that's pretty typical of the mother/son relationship, right? Anyway, I can't imagine our family without him now and I'm so thankful that we have a daughter and a son to love, teach and enjoy. John is the best Daddy and now gets to experience the joys of both a daughter and a son! We couldn't ask for more! Except I am… I'm gearing up for a sister for Ann. We'll see how that pans out. What's one more??
Now that I have re-joined my family and society as a contributing member I'm excited to start sharing projects, recipes and blurbs about our life again. We have a house that needs some attention and I have a tight budget. Let's see how I can pull this off!!
