LET THE CRAWLING BEGIN




LITTLE MADISON HAS STARTED TO CRAWL (OR RATHER SCOOT.) IT IS SUCH AN EXCITING TIME TO SEE HOW MUCH SHE CHANGES EVERY DAY. YESTERDAY WE WERE PLAYING ON MY BED AND SHE FELL FORWARD. MADISON HAS ALWAYS HATED TUMMY TIME WITH A PASSION SO THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. SHE FELL ON HER TUMMY AND STARTED TO SCOOT FORWARD! ANY DAY NOW SHE WILL BE A FULL ON CRAWLER! I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE PROGRESS.

WHAT A SPECIAL MORNING THIS HAS BEEN! IT IS MY VERY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY AS A MOM!!! JUSTIN GAVE ME THE BEST GIFT OF ALL WHICH WAS TO SLEEP IN!!!!!! ( SOMETHING I NEVER GET TO DO ANYMORE) HE THEN WOKE ME TO BREAKFAST IN BED. IT WAS SO CUTE! LITTLE MADISON WAS ALL PROPPED UP IN HER CHAIR WITH A BIG RED PILLOW THAT SAID, "I LOVE MY MAMA." IT WAS SO CUTE! NOW I AM GOING TO REST ALL DAY UNTIL DINNER TIME WHERE MY MOM AND JUSTIN'S PARENTS ARE ALL GOING OUT FOR SOME YUMMY ITALIAN FOOD.

THE BIRTH OF MADISON VICTORIA EILEEN JAMES







Oh my goodness!! I forgot to post about the birth of our little monkey!

Well anyways, Madison Victoria Eileen James was born on September 19thy 2008 at 1:09 am. She was 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. I had a very long labor. I was in active labor for 27 hours. I came to the hospital with mild contractions only to find out I had only dialated 2 centimeters. I was checked by the nurse and found out that I had very high blood pressure so they decided to check me in and induce me.
I had a rough labor but was surrounded by my family the whole time.

here is a video of my little angel after she was born.

WE ELOPED!!!!








After 4 and a half years of being together and over a year of being engaged we did it.... WE ELOPED!!!
On December 19th 2008 we woke up and decided to go and get married. We had been planning a wedding but It was taking so long to plan and we just wanted to get married. We didn't need some big fancy wedding to prove that we loved each other. Justin and I always did things differently and this was no exception. We just went to the Culver City courthouse and met our friend Haig who was our witness. My mom helped me get ready and I went and got a beautiful pink bouquet.
It was very special. We sat at the courthouse watching 0ther nervous couples wait to get there turn to go into the chapel. After we went and had a wonderful dinner at The Cheesecake factory. No one knew but us, haig and my mom (my mom would have not known either but someone needed to baby sit our little girl) . After we called everyone and they were either shocked and happy or shocked and upset that we did not have a big wedding. It may have not been what people wanted us to do but ultimetly it was our wedding and it was a beautiful day we both will never forget.

P.S. I do however hate my wedding photos. I was 50 pounds heavier then I am now and HATE the way I look. I will share them here because It is our blog but please mind my tubby behind. Ha Ha.
