A Close Call

I've never had my life flash before my eyes...Until now.

Picture this -
Last Sunday started off like most others. A groggy stretch and roll out of bed as the alarm sounded faintly in the distance. Quick shower, fast make-up and off to work. Everything was good. I got home around 12:30, hung out with the boys....again, everything good. Jack went down for a nap while Adam, Luke and I spent some time together. At about 4:30 I decided to take Luke with me on a quick Trader Joe's run. Moments later, a life changing experience.

As we made our way through our green light right outside of our development, another car ran a red light, slamming into us. My heart dropped. We spun around, Luke was screaming and we were pushed off the side of the road. Once my car was grounded I jumped out and grabbed Luke, he appeared fine and thankfully still is. I suffered some whiplash, worst of all the stress and anxiety of the accident itself. My tire on the rear driver side flew off. The impact just missed the door that Luke's car seat sits next to. I truly feel like someone was watching over me.

Prior to the accident I was in a funk. I was stressing about Luke's night time sleep patterns. He still wakes up. I was online researching ways to get your baby to sleep better at night. What a wake up call. I don't care if he wakes up every night...Forever. I am so lucky.

It's official...I'm a blogger!

Welcome to my blog! I just need a little push, a little motivation, and usually I get sucked in. This involves my most favorite things, so this was easy! Writing, pictures of my family and connecting with friends! Love it! I think I'm ready to start my first entry...

Don't ask me how it happened. It just did. My little Jack is TOTALLY potty trained! It literally happened over night. One day he was screaming at the the thought of going anywhere but his diaper, the next he was strutting around in Thomas The Train underwear! I was so excited...Such a weird thing to get excited about when you really think about it, but when you're a mom everything is such a big deal! He's so proud, we're so proud. The sad part, it's sort of the end of babyhood for him. He always tells me he wants to be big. I beg him to stay little!
Another milestone behind us!
