Time flies when you're having fun...

This has two meanings for me, one that my baby boy is 2 1/2 months old!!! And second that Nathan will be leaving again for California on Sunday, it seems like just yesterday he left the first time. Fortunately I was able to stay with my parents the first time he left and this time, my grandmother will be coming from Plano to stay with Crawford and I, but oh how I miss Nathan. I knew we were a perfect match/team but having Crawford has proved it even more. I just don't feel like we're complete without him there. He's the yin to my yang, the coffee for my cup, my umbrella for the rain, the coat to keep me warm from the cold, he's my EVERYTHING!! I am realizing even more now how blessed I am to call him my husband, my teammate, my friend, the father of my baby, and my love!

All this reflecting is because he's leaving in a few days and because yesterday is that day that I met him 10 YEARS AGO!!!! Crazy huh?!

I LOVE YOU NATHAN JAMES DONALD MATTOX!!!

This is harder than I thought!

I have ALWAYS been someone that said I wasn't "cut out" to be a stay at home mom. What the heck was I thinking? I would LOVE to be able to stay at home with my baby boy all day. It literally breaks my heart and makes me want to start crying right now knowing that someone else will be feeding him, changing him, rocking him to sleep, and playing with him. I also know that I am so blessed to have him here on campus with me so I can go see him whenever I want, which believe me, I have surely done! Miss Marissa his teacher is wonderful, but she's not me, his mommy. I know that things will get better, but boy do I wish Nathan and I had planned better. My hope and prayer is that I can go part time soon! Until then I just keep praying for my sanity!!

Crawford & Granpa

Not too good at this!

Well I'm not too good at this blogging thing! Lots has happened and I can't seem to keep it updated. I think the main reason is that I actually have to be on the computer to do it, and those times are few and far between! :) If I could do this from my phone it would be much easier. I'm not sure what I would do without my phone or Facebook!! They have saved me during those middle of the night feedings. I am really looking forward to the day when those stop. We're really trying to get Crawford on a schedule (as much as I can with a 5 week old), and hopefully this will transition into sleeping through the night.

Having him at home with us has been amazing. He is typically a happy baby, unless of course he is hungry. Who can blame him though, I know I get the same way when I'm hungry! :) Well here are a couple of pictures of him, and one of him at one month. Cannot believe he is 5 weeks old. Wow how time flies when you're having fun!

long over due!

well most of you know, Crawford James is here! He was born June 14th @ 2:27 am, was 7 lb 13 oz & 21 inches long with big feet! Here is a pic of proud parents with our little man!

If you're counting...

We only have 12 more days until Crawford James Mattox is here! Nathan and I were talking this morning that not only are we having a baby this month, he will be here next week!! This is so crazy for us since it's been just the two of us for almost 8 years. That's something crazy in and of itself, that we've been married almost 8 wonderful years. I guess time flies when you're having fun. I had a dr. appointment last Friday and everything is going ok, and I will have this Friday as well. Hopefully there will be a little more progress! Keep your fingers crossed. And Katie, I would appreciate your prayers since I did for you!! :) Well I will keep everyone updated as we continue on this amazing roller coaster!!
