Very Much Needed !!!!

Well, today Cody's parents came by and brought us some food =) and they visited with us and saw Riley ... she enjoyed seeing Pappy and Nana !!!!! and then we got ready and went to my parents and hung out for alittle bit so I could get out of the house and I think it was very much needed ........ I am not one for being cooped up in the house but I think it was starting to get to me after 3 weeks of being in pretty much except the dr's office and to the hospital .... and one date night that was like for an hour , hour and a half maybe !!!!
I am starting to feel better Thank goodness so now I should feel like getting out once I get rid of my little thing that is attached to my incision area..... Hopefully by the end of this week I will be done with it !!!!!! My area still hurts but nothing like it was.... I think I am getting around much better now then I was =) !!!!

Hopefully ....... We will plan a date night maybe for Valentine's Day and go out for alittle bit probably dinner and who knows what else but even if it's just dinner at least we can have some mommy and daddy time !!!!!!! You have to always make time for each other ... even Riley's pediatrician told us that !!!!!

TIme Flies !!!!!

I miss having a girls night out with my friends .... When I lived in Wichita My friends and I would go out every so often for a drink or two and relax and enjoy a drink and that was so much fun !!! I used to go back every now and then and we would go out for drinks and eat and visit and hang out since we didn't get to see each other that often since I didn't live there anymore .... which I used to go back quiet abit and now I don't get back that much !!!!!

Even when I was in Mckinney ..... a couple of girls I worked with would go out every now and then after work for drinks and that was so much fun !!!!!! I miss that ...... hanging out with the girls =) !!!!


Things definately change when you get married, and have a baby, and work ...... It's called growing up lol !!!!! You know when I was younger I could not wait till I was older and now that I am older .... I sometimes still wish I was young again !!!!!! I love my life don't get me wrong .... but being the adult you are the one responsible for things now instead of your parents .... you have to go to work and pay the bills, and put food on the table..... wasn't it nice being young and not having to worry about anything lol !!!!!! Of course we all have to grow up .... it just seems to happen really fast ........ It seems like here you are one day in Elementry, Jr high and High School and the next thing you have graduated and working and have your own bills ..... then here you are almost 30 !!!!!! WOW..... 30 !!!!! Time really does just fly by lol !!!!!!

why so emotional ?

Do you ever just feel emotional and don't really know why ? I have been so emotional the last 2 days and Cody of course asks what is wrong and asks if I am okay and I tell him I don't know what is the matter with me !!! I am happy with everything , my marriage, and just having a baby !!! So what is the matetr with me ???? I feel Crazy lol !!!!! B/c here I am just bawling for no reason and don't have any idea why =( !!!!!!!

COdy thinks it's my hormones that are going crazy ....... and also b/c I have been stuck in the house which I am not used too doing ... I am usually always out and about untill now .... I have only been out to Dr's appointments !!! COdy did take me out to dinner one night just to get me out of the house which was really nice but I still didn't feel great !!!


I think it's just getting to me that I don't feel great ( although I am starting to feel better ) =) yeah .... but I am ready to get back to normal and feel great again and be able to do stuff and feel like going out and about !!!

I hope It's just my hormones going crazy right now ... and that I don't feel good b/c of my cold that is making me Blah !!!!!!!!

Dind't think it would be so hard lol !

Cody and I went out for the first time Saturday night since having Riley and It was alot harder leaving her than I thought lol !!! It took me forever to decide to go out .... which is not like me because I love going out to eat ...and here I was I couldn't decide if I wanted to go or not !!!! I sat there probably like an hour saying I dont know If I wanna go lol !!! Cody was like what is stopping you from going and I was like I just don't wanna leave her =) !!!!! I am kinda scared how I am going to be when I go back to work ..,,, I think that is goin to be harder than I thought =( !!!

Nothing beats that feeling !!!



My daughter was born January 12, 2010 and I have to say ..... as much as I hated being pregnant .... I can't explain that feeling you have that first time they show you your baby ..... There is nothing in the world that beats that feeling !!!!!

I was very surprised at myself the day before my scheduled csection and the day of .... the day before I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck but kept myself busy ..... and I actually slept which I didnt think I would and we got up early on the 12th since we had to be at the hospital at 7 or 7:30 and got ready and headed that way .... we arrived at the hospital a few minutes after 7 am . They got me into my room and all set up then my mom and nanny arrived shortly after and we sat there visiting and I believe Mark and Vicki came next then the others came =) !!!! We had a crowded room..... Everybody was waiting and super excited to meet Riley Paige Land ...their Granddaughter, and Niece !!!


They took me back close to 7:30 and Riley was born at 7:49 am on January 12th !!!! SHe weighed 7 pounds and 7 ounces and was 18 inches long ...... They showed me her over the little curtain and I cried and Cody cried ( Such an amazing feeling ) to share this with the person you love so much !!!!

They got me to the recovery room where I stayed for about an hour and fed Riley and then they got me into my own room and everybody got to come in to see me =) !!!!!!! They didn't stay long so I could rest !!!!

The next several days ...... We had tons of visitors !!!!!! It is so hard to get any rest though at hospitals with all the staff coming in and out of the room to check the baby and to check you ... especially the first 2 nights checking me alot since I had surgery !!!!! I went in on Tues and we finally got t go home n Saturday and we were so ready =) !!!!!!!!! We were both exhausted and ready t get home .... which they kept us all freakin day Saturday ... we were ready to leave at 9 am and got home at 6 pm !!!!


Such a wonderful feeling though ...the first time seeing your baby ( here is this little life that you and your husband created) such a miracle and a blessing !!!

A blessing !!!




We were married APril 18th, and went on our honeymoon the following day to Mexico and stayed several days ...... we both wanted to start trying to have a baby pretty soon after marriage b/c who knows how long it might take !!!!! It may take a long time or it might not but you don't know !!!! We got home and got back to normal and Cody said I was pregnant before I even took a test lol !!!! He noticed my moods and I was different I think that is what he said hehe !!!! So I took 2 pregnancy tests and they were both POSITIVE =) !!!!! I made a dr's appt to confirm so we went and they did a blood test and I was Pregnant !!!!


After that Dr's appt we went to start telling people right away ,,,,,,,, We told his parents first and then my parents and both parents were so excited !!!! then I called and told My brother and then we went to tell Chris, and Megan,and Eli and Megan screamed ...... so was really excited !!! then told Luke, Allison and Brit and they were excited for us !!!!


I went to the female dr when it was time and I was pregnant and was due January 12th, 2010 !!!

My home preg test I took.... Cody saw it first and I was doing laundry and he asked if I was goin to look and I was like it's negative and then I went and looked at was Positive.... I was like I need to sit down =) LOL !!!!! Of course I was happy and shocked that it had not taken that long at all and of course I hugged Cody b/c we were both so happy !!!!!

WOW !!!

Before I met Cody ... I had gone out with several guys here and there and was just having the worst luck with guys , and was fixing to give up on dating for awhile ... who needed a guy that was going to be a jerk to be or wasn't sure what he wanted or think that he could play me .... I was better off Single !!! It was nice being single for awhile but eventually you do wanna find that one person who you can't live without! SO here I was fixing to give up on guys when I met Cody and Although I was trying to not let myself fall really hard and fast for him, that didn't work so much ..lol !!! We went out for the first time in August 2008 and from then on spent every weekend together ... It was alittle hard b/c I loved in Mckinney and he lived in Denton but we made it work and a few months later we were engaged !!!! Here I had fallen for him so fast which usually wasn't like me, and I had always said I would date someone a year before thinking about marriage and I had totally threw that out the window lol !!! We talked alot getting to know each other though before we were engaged and we both knew what we wanted, both wanted to find that someone who made them happy, laugh, loved being with, who you couldn't wait to see , we both wanted kids =) !!!
So ...... here we were engaged by Thanksgiving and had met in August and we didn't want a long engagement and even thought about getting married in December !!!! But we waited and got married on April 18th, 2009 !!!!! I could not have asked for a better wedding, it was my perfect fairytale wedding and it was my PRINCESS DAY FOR SURE !!!!! We left after the ceremony and stayed at a hotel then left the next morning for Mexico ,,,, and our hotel was amazing !!!!! We stayed at a more expensive place but not that many days so we could and it was awesome !!!! I think it was meant to be with us, and even though I thought I would never consider marriage so soon of meeting someone, I just knew it was right with Cody, I hated being apart from him, and could not wait to see him on the weekends !!!!!! It is so hard to explain love ....... but when you have finally met that special someone who has your heart ,,,, it is the greatest feeling in the world !!!!!!
