it's all new.

 hello everyone.  i am not a new blogger, but this is my first blog since being a momma.  in march i found out i was pregnant (completely unexpected) and i was already almost 5 months.  to say that i was kind of freaking out would be an understatement.  the second doctor appointment i found out i had an extremely short cervix, and could potentially go into labor at any moment, and was put into the hospital immediately to stay for 5 days.  i was then put on bed-rest, and had to stay that way for the rest of my pregnancy.  because of a heart condition i have had since birth, i was watched even closer.  but good news, the pregnancy went well, and i was induced on July 15th.  at 11:30pm that monday, my boyfriend, Tim, and i welcomed our wonderful baby girl, Zoey Michelle.  she was beautiful (still is) and perfectly healthy.  you could not imagine my relief.  since that little ball of joy made her appearance, my life has been one huge change.  we moved back to my hometown from Cary so that we could be closer to family and so that we could have free daycare ;), which is wayyy too expensive if i might add.  i have been working from home full time since she was 6weeks old, and tomorrow is my last day at the firm because they could not be flexible when it came to travel expectations.  but to be honest, i don't think i would change one thing.  we have a wonderful baby girl who makes me smile every time i look at her and we are close to family who cannot stay away from her!  life will for sure be different moving forward, and things will be tough, but knowing that i have a family who cares and a daughter who smiles no matter what and a boyfriend who fills my heart with love, i don't think life will be that bad/hard.  

so that is a little background about me.  i will be using this blog to talk about some of the things i have experienced since my wonderful daughter, and somethings that i now consider differently because of her.  this is all about seeing life through a new set of eyes.  i will try not to make this too much of a momma blog, but i will be talking about her and momma issues quite frequently! hope you all enjoy!
