Welcome to my heart.

A Song I made up after Chase was born. It’s so simple yet he loves it when I sing it to him.
Welcome to my heart,
You’ve stolen it.
There’s no other part,
You haven’t been. (x2)
Cause,
You, you are my boy
You, you are my joy
You, you are my boy
You, you are my joy
Welcome to my heart
You’ve stolen it.

Not Me!

I am not jealous of my baby boy’s eyelashes. Nope, not me!
For the past two weeks, while my usually mellow lil guy became fussy throughout the day and restless/upset throughout the night, I did not accept advice that “this is normal” and I did not take the advice and even let him cry it out a few times when in fact he was teething! I know my child better than that, so nope not me!


I did not shed a few tears of frustration and tears of exhaustion almost every night last week due to those ^ restless nights.

Because of how much I do not like photography and documenting things, I do not look through my photo albums to help me remember what I did not do the past week :)

I am not thriiiiiiiilled happy that we have the house to ourselves for the next 10 days!

On Monday last week, I did not forget a “just in case” outfit for Chase and when he had a blowout-poo, during staff meeting of course, I did not have to walk out, change the mess and walk back in with a partially nakey boy! I plan better than that, so nope, not me!

I did not post even more ridiculous, yet cute, videos of Chase this past week.

I am not thinking more and more about having another baby, sooner than I thought I ever would. When people ask me about how many kids we want to have or when do you want another baby… I do not reply with “I would honestly get pregnant again now or in a few months if it weren’t for the c-section”… Chase is so young, that would be craaazy, nope not me!

I am not veggin’ out this afternoon and I am not watching the Tyra show as I type. Such a waste of time, so nope not me!


Chase did not beginning teething in the last two weeks. Not my child, not at 3 months old! :*(


Due to the teething, my boy does not constantly stick his fingers in this mouth, knawing away and ultimetely gagging himself and occasionally vomit because of this!
During the worship time at church, Chase did not gag himself with his fingers (yes, again) and vomit down the front and the back my dressy black sweater.

While mommy was at work Friday, he did not have one, two THREE blowout poos by the time we left that evening!

Chewing away.

Tummy time with momma.

Laughing.

Just like mommy.

Merch Baby.

Momma forgot the “just in case” clothes again :)

I have my mommy’s nose.

Somehow I managed to sleep through all of the noise of 108 new students arriving and having a welcome breakfast together!




My froggy snugly and me.

My first chipotle (not really).

And, my first wanton!

I love to stand but I was worn out here.

My first time swinging. I didn’t know what to think.




I preferred swinging with my mommy.

My first time in a movie theatre. I watched for a bit, then ate and slept.

Sleeping through mommy changing me.

My first snow day!

I like mommy’s side of the bed.

This makes people laugh, so I do it often :)

Or this!

Mommy told me to stop growing, but I just can’t help myself. Plus, I can’t wait to crawl!

This is just a few of the photos I’ve taken over the past few weeks. I just got a new phone and was sad to let my other one go because it had 852 pictures on it! Probably 100 we’re from before Chase came but the rest were all after! Ted and I couldn’t believe my piece of crap camera held that many!
It’s moments like this where I don’t feel ridiulous for always pulling out my camera phone and snapping these. Recognizing the precious memories and documenting them. It’s totally a Jami thing to do and I hope I do it with all of my kiddos!
Chase still hasn’t completely (by himself) rolled over from his tummy to his back. He prefers to roll over from back to tummy, which freaks me out because he has almost rolled out of his swing, his bouncer, his carseat and changing tables! He gets close while on his tummy but then just scoots and scoots and scoots backwards. It is cute but I’m hoping he will roll over tummy to back soon!!
Chase turned 3 months yesterday! (I am now doing month to month, so every 18th is a new month). I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. I will post pictures of his 3 month photo shoot soon!
A little confession… I can’t help but think about getting pregnant again! Crazy huh? Emotionally I am back to normal and realizing that the birth plan changing was in fact very difficult but it will not stop me from having all of the children we want. I can’t wait to see Chase as a big brother!

One Autumn Day.

My momma decided it was the perfect day for a photoshoot.
(go figure)

I couldn’t keep my eyes off of all the pretty colours around me.

I tried for a handful but ended up only grabbing one.


I finally got my fistful! Look at me mom!!

I was so excited here, wish you could have heard me!
After this picture, I tried to eat one, but they don’t taste the best!

I am searching for the best one.

There all so pretty I can’t decide!

Of course I wouldn’t neglect my favourite thing, drooling!

And blowing some awesome bubbles!

I got some!

Check it out!


Making sure momma is still around cuz all this hard works makes a boy hungry!


Mini ‘Not Me’ Monday…

When Chase peed outside of his diaper and all over me in an early morning feeding, I did notthink, “It’s okay, it’s only urine… and actually… it makes me feel a bit warmer!”…. Eww, nope not me! (I did change, really I did!)

When my tooth began to give me problems throughout the week, getting steadily worse and leading into a weekend of headaches galore… I did not decide to take the last 2 percocet I have leftover from my incision drama and I have not taken 1/2 a percocet the past two days to dull the pain temporarily. And of course I do not wish that I had an entire bottle left of the pills until I see the dentist… Not this girl who usually only takes asprin or ibuprofen as a last resort…. nope, NEVER me!!
I have not become one of those mom’s who post silly sometimes ridiculous videos of my child being cute or just because. I do not post silly videos of my son or both of us. Nope not me!

You Know Your A Momma When… (#2)

You know you’re a momma when…
  • You speak in a silly voice saying “wanna go home and sick in your bumbo seat?” over and over to your little man, despite the fact that there are students walking towards you and you know you sound a bit insane, not to mention the fact that they are probably thinking “what the heck is a bumbo seat?”.
  • While changing an awfully full, pooed diaper in front of your younger siblings and you say “oooh yummy!” while they all gag. :)
  • You pick your babies nose for them without being disgusted.
  • You hear the regular flu/swine flu is close to home and you buy a large bottle of hand sanitizer and ask everyone who wants to touch your little guy to please use it.
  • When visiting the baby section is the new highlight of going to the store.
  • Your little guy vomits what feels like a gallon in your hair, down your neck, in your shirt, all over your arms, etc. and you react calmly and respond to his crying first rather than the fact that your covered in vomit!
  • You become a pro at popping the stroller open with no problem (now getting is back in the trunk is another story).
  • You don’t mind making a total goof out of yourself in order to make your little guy smile or laugh during his grumpy moments.
  • Your ‘sent’ box for texts is constantly filling up with photos of your boy you send to friend, family and of course facebook.
  • When Carters becomes the new Pacsun/Zumiez in your life.
  • When your little man wants to eat NOW while your out with friends and the only place you can find to feed him is a table in front of the main entrance to a crowded coffee shop.
  • You blog about things you do as a mother while (or instead of) watching the movie you’ve rented for a Saturday eve. :D

A ‘Not Me Monday’.

I am not posting this with Chase passed out on my shoulder. (I am getting mad momma skills).
I did not commit to giving up drinking dr. pepper this week and I did not already sneak one when Ted wasn’t looking. I am also not drinking a can of Dr. Pepper right now… um, nope, not me because it’s only the first day!
I do not post a photo (or more) a day on facebook. I do not document every little thing! Nope, not me!

this is what Chase is doing right now…
When people comment to me in person about the photos I do not sometimes feel so incredibly silly and say “yeah, I’m a little ridiculous” and believe it to be true. And of course I do not continue to post these photos regardless of that I know this. Nope, not me!

While visiting a harvest farm with friends last week, I did not put Chase too close to a large goat and this goat did not attempt to bit my son. Chase did not freak out when two large goats came our way a bit later.
If you were to stop by my house at any given moment last week, you would not see a pile of dirty diapers stacked in a box beside Chase’s changing table. We do not keep forgetting to stop by Wal-mart with a baby gift card and buy a diaper jeanie… nope, I would never leave a pile of dirty diapers!
I did not spend most of saturday in pajamas, even after a morning shower and I most certainly did not ignore our dirty house and I did not veg out the entire day… nope, not me!
I did not frighten Chase more than once this week, whether it be from the vacuum, to sneezing, to turning music on, etc… I would never forget he is easily frightened and make that mistake!
Saturday morning when I stripped Chase down to his diaper (cause we LOVE his chubby belly) and put him in bed between Ted and I, he pooped a “blow out” on the sheets and my shirt. I did not then use a diaper wipe to “clean” my shirt and wear it the rest of the morning before showering. Nope, not me!
When carrying Chase and a huge thing of water on one arm and our ridiculously huge diaper bag and empty car seat on the other arm and someone offers to help, I did not reply with “Oh I’ve got it, thanks” because I felt like I should already be on top of carrying everything and our baby. Nope, not me!
I do not occasionally say what I want to say through Chase. For example; I do not say “Daddy, It’s time to go” or “Daddy your beard hurts my face, you should shave” or “Daddy, want to come to bed”… etc. Nope, NEVER me!

You Know Your A Momma When…

We’ve finally moved on from “you know you’re prego when” to this!

You know you’re a momma when:
  • I have a hard time with boogers, snot, sneezing people, etc yet I can get a booger from his nose, like it’s no big deal.
  • When he pees up his side and on me, but I just leave it because he finally just fell asleep.
  • My heart explodes with love every time he snuggles momma.
  • It also bursts when he pulls away while eating just to coo or smile up at me! Oh my word!
  • I’ve learned two new “languages”; baby talk and Chase’s cries.
  • When he spits up a little bit on my shirt and I still wear it the rest of the day.
  • When my desire to hold him is stronger than my desire to do the things I am usually most passionate about.
  • When I take speedy showers if he is napping and if he is awake I put him in the bouncer right outside the bathroom, with the door opened and constantly peek my head out to check on him.
  • When I’ll act like such a crazy just to see him smile and coo over and over again. Seriously if you videoed me, I could win America’s Funniest Home Videos. It’s that bad. Sometimes I catch myself and think “I am sooo glad I am home alone!”
  • When I now have the desire to learn to cook like never before. I wish I would have listened to my mom and let her teach me to cook from scratch when I was younger…
  • Despite the many kids and infants on base, I know Chase’s cry immediately.
  • When dance parties with Chase to “I’ve gotta feeling” by the black eyed pees is now a new workout and an evening fav.
  • When I cry when he cries because of pain Ted or I caused. Hasn’t happened much, but both times it broke my heart.
  • When I sacrifice the desire to have cleanly shaven legs each day and can now get away with shaving maybe 3 times a week, 4 if I’m lucky. I used to shave my legs every single day. It was a must in my mind.
  • When friends, family, or Ted hold Chase and he cries, I can usually pin point what the cry means and fix it immediately.
  • Somedays I only have time to shave ONE leg before I hear his crying in the monitor.
  • When I can somehow manage to drive and reach back to hold a binky in his mouth to keep him from crying hysterically. Probably not the safest… yikes.
  • When I constantly feel like I smell like baby poo and breast milk.
  • When it’s hard to say “yes” even when babysitters beg to watch him… at first it’s hard to leave the little guy!
  • When our living room rug is now a baby blanket with baby toys, diapers and wipes on it.
  • When 11:30 pm becomes the perfect time to blog :)
There is so much more, but this momma is sleepy (and we even took a good nap today)!
