Maybe I should....

 Maybe I should blog a smidge. After all this is the only form I have of somewhat keeping a journal! And it would be a shame if I didn't remember how amazing the last few months have been! Not a piece of cake that's for sure, but sooo rewarding and joyful! Treyden Lee Sorensen was born on April 29th weighing in at a fairly hefty 8lbs. 6 oz. and a lengthy 21 inches. I had to be induced a week over my due date because Trey (despite my efforts) just didn't want to come out on his own! Labor went pretty well (thanks to the epidural) but then pushing lasted about oh almost 4 hours! No biggie. Sike! It was really frustrating, because I told myself I was gonna pop him out in 5 or 10 minutes but that turned out not to be the case. Oh well, it was a good workout that's for sure!
 The doctor, nurses, Kade and myself were all surprised at how big he was! We had no idea what size he would be and everyone (yes doctor included) guessed he'd be on the smaller side. (I take a little pride in that people thought he'd be small by looking at me to be 100% honest. Not that I'm looking fab by any means these days!) But he is now the complete opposite!! He just had his 2 month check-up and is in the 94th percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for weight! He's a 14 pounder chunky monkey! What can I say I am a good cow! Ha classic joke I know, something my mom likes to say.
Being a mom has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I fall more and more in love with him everyday. I know every single mom on the planet thinks their child is cute, but seriously he is so freaking adorable! I can't even handle it sometimes!!! When he was first born we thought he seemed pretty laid back and chill. I think maybe now his true colors are starting to shine in that he is passionate about life! When he's happy he is really happy! Biggest smile, loves to talk, starting to laugh. (Although he does seem to laugh more in his dreams than in real life which makes me wonder what his dreams are and why he likes them more than he likes me!(( jealousmom.com right here)) ) When he's mad he is real ticked and not afraid to let you know it!! Then again maybe that's just all babies. Go figure. Guess I'll find out on the next one?
 I'm so happy that we have been blessed to have such an amazing baby boy and I could not love him more or be more grateful that he is happy, healthy and handsome!
