My Boy is nearing his 9 month birthday, and I’ve started planning his first birthday celebration! Though it’s three months away yet, I’m convinced that you can’t start too early, especially for something around the holidays. You can plan along with me by following my ‘party time’ board on pinterest! (if you’re not on pinterest, but would like to be, let me know – I’ll send you an invite!) It’s all kind of messing with me – how in the world does time stand still and fly by all at once?

The hooha saga continues. Yes, the surgery took care of one of the issues, but my Boy with his 14 inch head really did me in. The scar from my 4th degree tear is quite big, and immobile. I am in physical therapy now, and slowly continuing to heal. It’s maddening, really, that it’s been such a long time and I’m still broken. But I am finding that it is also very common for women to quietly struggle with postpartum pelvic floor issues. I’m not really the quiet type {grin} so as always, I hope that in sharing here with honesty it allows even one other woman the freedom to feel not alone in her struggle. And for that reason, I’m sorry I haven’t been very open about this issue.

related: Writing is easy. Sharing here is natural. But once it’s out, I’m done with it, but people in real life want to talk more about what I’ve written, and that feels almost unnatural. So then instead of having those conversations, I just don’t write. That’s dumb. I’m not going to do that anymore.

I totally entered The Boy in a ‘cute baby’ contest. I’ve turned into that mom who asks for votes. Though the chances are slim, the prize of $10grand for college is pretty enticing. If you want to vote for him, click here =)

Fall has fell. It’s here. Tomorrows high is supposed to be 66*!!!! I’ll be treating myself to a pumpkin spice latte, yes I will!

The Boy and I take a nice long walk through our neighborhood park every day. Up until last week I was wearing flipflops for said walks. I know. I know. But you guys, my feet grew two.sizes. during my pregnancy!!! I was a nice normal 8, and now I am a comfy size 10!!! So Husby took me on a shoe shopping date (I’m not kidding. He really did. And no, he’s all mine.) and I now proudly sport size 11 tennis shoes. Please don’t mention my clodhoppers or I’ll step on your foot =)

Here’s a picture I haven’t shown you yet:

I got an iPhone. I’m still getting used to the thing (I’ve been a blackberry/android girl for years). What are your favorite, must-have apps???

Ahhh. That feels better, to catch you up on this and that. Now, your turn. =) {kidding} {mostly}
