After following my sister-in-laws blog for a year I see how great it is to keep a running journal of, well life! I figure I should give it a shot... so here we go! I am sure my family and friends will read this but I will go ahead and formally introduce myself and my family. My name is Jody, I am 26 (still feel like I am 18 most of the time), I have been married to Diego for going on 6 years and we really are each others best friend. We have always enjoyed doing things together and love that we have added Avery Ann to our family to join us on all of our adventures. And yes since she is our first and only child everything we do really is an adventure for us. Diego and I both love traveling and have been able to see wonderful places, we are determined to continue this hobby and strongly believe we WILL still travel even with a 7 month old. We are very blessed and have very involved loving families on both his side and mine. Since I am starting this blog with Avery being 7 months old already I will summarize the first 7 months of being a mom.
Diego and I did not find out what we were going to be having so our baby went by "Guido" the entire time I was pregnant. I know you might ask "Guido"? Well "Peanut" or anything generic just would not work for us! We were SO surprised when Avery was born...A GIRL! Even though my Mom did firmly believe I was having a girl, we were honestly surprised. Avery was a great baby right away, I realize 99% of new parents say this, but she REALLY was a good baby. She slept 8 hours a night at 3 weeks old. She really only cried when she was hungry. On a side note I do realize that since Avery has been so good, if and when we are blessed with baby number 2, I am fully prepared for a horrible baby! The first 7 months have been so fun enjoying Avery and adjusting to having a 100% dependent person in our house! She is amazing and we wouldn't change her for the world. But I would be lieing if I said we have adjusted easily with no problems. It is totally different, we use to only be 15 minutes late to everything we went to (thanks to the lovely trait I get from my mother), now we are atleast 30 minutes late. For the first time ever I didn't have the most luggage when we went to San Antonio! At 5 o'clock we can't get away from work fast enough and that is not to go to happy hour or dinner with friends, it is to get home to see Avery! I have been and continue to be blown away by how much such a little person can change your life in such a wonderful way.
Well, this is my first shot at my new blog. I realize most will not be this long and my spelling will not get any better. I hope that this will be a way to not only document all of the neat things we do as our family grows, but will give me something to laugh at years from now when I look back and let Avery see her mom use to be SO COOL! lol ok that is probably not what she will think, but I will and it sounds good to me now!
