the molly mamma

i am a dreamer, a believer, a baby food maker, an extended breastfeeder, a former partier, an observer, a loud mouth, a soft hearted hard ass, and a defender. i love sweatpants, superheros and surprises. i really love anything pasta, good conversation and being right. i always make my bed, don't need much sleep and avoid housework as much as i can. i'm hit and miss - when i'm on, i'm so on - when i'm off, watch out. i welcome confrontation and cut you off completely if i feel disrespected. i hate shaving, cooking and liars. i don't deal well with change, cigarette smoke and fake people. i have a love/hate relationship with the outdoors, eating and getting ready. i take people watcher to the next level - people studier. and then sometimes i try to figure out what animal you most resemble. i'm extremely protective, make sure i laugh everyday and watch way too much tv. i have thee best family and amazing friends. i married an incredible person and my very best friend. i've dreamed of being a mom since i realized i could be one and sometimes i still can't believe my dream has come true. and everyday i am just trying to be a better person then i was the day before.

j and i have basically known each other since we were in diapers. we literally carpooled together for preschool. i had to start training him early. no seriously, i'm picky like that. we started dating our sophomore year at 15 yrs old. we were just kids, but the love was there. and it was real, even as kids. we grew up together and everything just made us stronger. he had my engagement ring made with 11 diamonds - one for each year we had been dating up to that point and we were married 3.11.06. we just match...our joy matches. our tears match. our laughs match. our sarcasm matches. our dreams match. our hope matches. we work together and try to make the best of everything. we're going through everyday so happy to have each other and our two beautiful girls. parenting together has made us stronger than ever. having elena and adelyn as our joint top priorities brings so much more to what we have together, what we want together. adding to our love has been the most unbelievable gift. we could not be luckier. jason and i might tease each other mercilessly, but we make an awesome team. and i can truly say i married my better half. jason is a wonderful husband and father, an extremely hard worker that works many extra hours to keep us comfortable, and is a much nicer person than i am. i can only hope that the years to come keep us laughing together and are as happy as they have been! i love my jason!

8 days late, 26 hrs of labor and 3 hrs of pushing, our first baby girl arrived via c-section. she was lodged in, sunny side up and the umbilical cord was wrapped. she screamed immediately, took to me and ate and ate and ate. she gained 13 oz's in 2 days, setting records for a newborn at the hospital. she's been a phenomenal eater and particularly stubborn since. it's really difficult to sum up my toddler's personality. how truly fiesty, funny, exhausting and inventive she really is. elena has always been fearful of others and takes a while to warm up. singing and dancing take up a good portion of her day. she's a climber and could live outside. she is sassy, impatient and demanding. she is independent, fun-loving and thoughtful. she says umprompted 'i love you's.' and rubs your back and gives a quick squeeze when she hugs. she's a little mother to anyone smaller. she LOVES her daddy and little sister. she is just an absolute joy, a big burst of energy and adds immeasurable amounts of laughter to our every day. my sweet elena...

4 days late, 9 hrs of labor and 2 hrs of pushing, our second baby girl arrived via successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesearean). in no hurry, but cooperative and willing to go with the flow. she was as quiet and relaxed as could be...the nurses had to nudge her and nudge her to get her to cry. she went hours before she ate and got dressed for the first time. she just hung out, nakey baby, on my chest. she's been easy going and content since. she's always put herself to sleep and has to be reminded to eat. she's very tickelish and laughs a lot. her big gummy grin melts hearts and her slobbery hands reaching out for me brings so much peace. she's got one dimple and a blonde patch of hair. she's beautiful, tender...and cool. she loves watching her big sis and is mommy's girl. she is a true miracle growing fast full of expression and love. my sweet adelyn...
