6 months old, can you believe it!?

I sure can't believe it.  My little baby is beginning to be not so much of a baby anymore! He's more like half baby half toddler.  I can't keep him out of anything!  He weighs 15 lbs. 4 oz. and is 26 (something) inches long.  He's getting so smart and already says "hi" and "dada" and "yeah!".  He's not quite crawling, although he does scoot along quite well, and his little knees are getting red from trying so hard.  He's the best part of my day and I am so lucky to be able to stay at home with him.  He constantly amazes me and keeps me on my toes. 

As for me, I think I'm finally seeing a break in the clouds.  PPD isn't fun, and I am slowly but surely getting out of my funk.  Zumba and running have been helping a LOT and I really really really love our gym!   A couple of weeks ago Tristan and I were in a car accident (he wasn't hurt THANK GOODNESS!) and I've been seeing a Chiropractor for my neck which was injured when we were rear-ended.   Long story short, the woman didn't have insurance and everything has been a nightmare, BUT we're all fine and moving on with our lives.  The car even got fixed (thanks to our uninsured motorist coverage)!

Now, Tristan and I are in Vail with my mom this week taking a much-needed vacation from Denver.  We miss Nick, but he's at home doing much more important things like working and going to grad school.  He's awesome, I wish I was more like him. 

Now...more news.  Nick's sister (and my best friend) Azalea who got married at the end of July is pregnant! She called us yesterday to let us know and I am so happy for them!!!  THEN as soon as we found out Az. was pregnant, Ar. called and SHE IS PREGNANT TOO!  ......I'm happy for her!  BUT also shocked for the simple reason that she had a baby 2 weeks after I did...as in less than 6 months ago.  And I am NOT ready to be pregnant again.  I need to lose 25 lbs, get my body back to some form of normalcy and start getting more sleep before we even go there again.  I'm not judging by any means...maybe I feel a little left out. It's always been my dream for Az. and me to have babies at the same time so they could grow up being close as cousins.   I guess T.  is also trying to get pregnant...and they all had bets going on who could get pregnant the fastest.  So all of Nick's siblings who are married are getting pregnant right now and WE are not.  I'm a little sad that I wasn't clued in to this arrangement. Now they will all have kids exactly the same age and our kids will be the odd ones out.  I know how that feels. My 2 girl cousins were only a year and 18 months older than me and they never let me play with them. I guess I'm just worried that Tristan won't have any kids to play with or that he'll be like an only child and not get socialized to be nice to the other kiddies.   I guess we don't live in Utah so it's not a big deal, he'll only see them on holidays anyways.  But really though... I am not ready to get pregnant, so why do I feel so left out?  I'm being ridiculous, right?  I hope no one reads this and gets the wrong idea. I can't stress enough how excited I am for them.  I am just a little sad about not being a part of the whole fun of getting pregnant together thing.  Oh well...complaining session over.
