Well, as most of you know, life has changed A LOT since my last post here. I have been slacking off in this blog since i created the other one. Background info: I created a separate blog to record info about us starting to try to have kids, but kept it private till we conceived. So from there, it was a pregnancy tracker and then turned into a monthly baby update which I have actually been really good about keeping up with.
So here's whats happened since September. Damon was born on October 14, 2015. He weighed 7lb 14oz and was 21 inches long..born at 1:34pm. Since then, life has been super busy for me as I've tried to get the hang of being a mom and figuring how to balance everything out during the day. I finally feel like I'm starting to have a routine going. Damon is such a blessing in our lives and we love being his parents. Adam has since gotten a much anticipated promotion at work. It came within the week that Damon was born. I have quit working and am a stay at home mom. So, it's been a huge blessing and couldn't have been better timing. When you do things by heavenly father's plan, things fall into place! Being a stay at home mom is the best thing ever. Being a mom is the best thing ever.
Halloween was fairly laid back..especially since Damon was like 2 weeks old. We did dress up though and spent time to with our families.
Thanksgiving was good as well. I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant, so Damon was born at the perfect time. Thanksgiving would have been pretty boring if I had to stay on the diet I was on. As soon as the placenta was out, the hormones that cause the GD were gone as well. So I could eat whatever my heart desired. It was great. I am in good health now. I am slowly trying to figure out how to fit in exercising during the day. It's hard enough trying to feed myself. Damon had become super needy lately because he's starting to teeth. So if I want to eat, he's not a happy camper. But he really has been a good baby.
December brought our anniversary and Christmas. Our anniversary was fairly simple this year. We just went out to dinner. We didn't want to try to travel this time with a 2 month old baby. We went to red robin and then just came home and spent time together.
Christmas was good as well. We haven't really ever done big Christmases for each other because there's always something that we use as an excuse. This year, Adam didn't get a while lot because he was scheduled to get lasik soon after. If you're familiar with lasik, it's not cheap. So that has been his Christmas and birthday in one.
New years, we went to bed at 8. Haha we have been trying to keep Damon on a good sleeping schedule so we didn't care to stay up.
Valentines day weekend was good for us. Nothing too crazy. We just went out to dinner.
Me and my mom recently went to the Arabian horse show with Damon. He did pretty well! We went to Lehi Days as well and that was a bit of a different story. It was a long day though. So I don't blame him. We got there at 8 and left after 3:30. He was just antsy so I was up and down a lot. One day he will enjoy it though.
I also helped plan my friend Monica's baby shower recently. She is due with her baby at the beginning of April- baby Winston! It's so nice having friends with kids that are close to Damon's age. She's going to be such a good mommy!
My birthday was pretty laid back.We just hung out with family at the house. It's funny how when you're about (for me) 17, Christmas and Birthdays become a lot less exciting. Haha I am excited to see and experience Damon's excitement though. He probably won't really get there for a couple years, but that's ok with me. I'm definitely content living up these baby days.
Damon tried his first serving of baby food this month. That was fun and still always interesting. Damon makes 8 grandkids on the goodman side of the family. My brother Clint and his wife Jodi had a baby recently as well. One more is due (from my sister Rachel & her husband Jason) at the beginning of April. So that will be 3 babies within the same age (school year age). So it will be fun to have them all grow up together. 
That pretty much brings us to the now. Adam graduates in May. We're so excited for that. I'm ready to have more time with my man! We are planning on staying with my parents til we have enough money saved for a down payment on a house. So, right now we have to finish paying off school and then see what happens and see how long it takes and how the housing market is. I'm guessing it will be next year before we get a house, but we can hope for the best. We would like to stay in mesa or nearby so that we're near family as well as not adding to the long commute to work for Adam. So, we'll see.
