This past weekend we traveled to Houston to watch our Baylor Bears in the Sweet 16. This was very exciting for every Baylor fan because we have not made it to the Sweet 16 in over 50 years!!!
Our first game was against St. Mary’s and we won by a landslide. The second game, against Duke, did not turn out so well. I am convinced the refs were paid off. Regardless we had such a great turn out and I am so proud of my Baylor Bears. They played with so much heart and had a great season! Random fact...in the Elite 8 there had never been a men and women’s team playing against the same team until this year. Both our girls and guys played Duke. Our women won and are on their way to the Final Four! Congrats to them!
This weekend felt like Homecoming! We saw so many people that we knew and it was so much fun showing off Camryn! I wish we would have had more time to see everyone. We stayed with some sweet friends and really cherished our time with them because they are moving. However, traveling with a 3 month old is not an easy task. Which brings me to my next thought...
I AM A CONTROL FREAK...I never really realized how bad it was until we had Camryn. Some of you that know me well are probably laughing and are glad I have finally admitted to this. Matt lucks out because even though I give him a hard time about not changing diapers, I secretly don’t want him to. I want to change them so they can be done my way. I want to put up the laundry so it is done my way. I want to give her a bath so it is done my way. Do you see a pattern here? I know I have a problem. I also love routines and am OCD...great more to add to my issues. The worst though is in the car...I drive Matt crazy. Clearly I have some areas to work on but lets be honest, who doesn’t? Surprisingly I feel like I handled this weekend like a champ except for in the car.

Giving into Pressure
I always asked my friends, once I have Camryn do I have to start blogging? The answer YES! So I am about 3 1/2 months late but here I am starting a blog.
To catch y'all up on the past 3 months. Matt and I had a beautiful baby girl. She is such a blessing and I am so fortunate to get to spend every day with her. I can not explain how amazing of a feeling it is to be a mom. When she looks at me with her big blue eyes and smiles it melts my heart. I am captivated by her innocence and how pure she is. When I think about the process of becoming pregnant to holding her in my hands I can not comprehend how amazing our God is and how he created her just for Matt and me. I am loving every second of this journey.
I always wondered if I would have a good baby. I have a brother that is 13 years younger than me and he was a horrible baby. He cried all the time and I said I would never have a baby, even though I was the girl that could not wait to get married and have babies. Turns out God gave us such a good baby. If I could have hand picked everything about her I would not change one thing. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 2 months old and the doc finally told me she hit 10 pounds and was free to sleep as long as she wanted. Needless to say that made our lives much easier and made us more enjoyable to be around! She only cries when she is sleepy or hungry. She has the cutest tired cry. I know that sounds bad but I love hearing it. She talks loud and whimpers a bit. It is so darn cute.I start thinking man this is easy then of course Matt thinks that means we can have another one already. Can your second baby be as good as the first? Camryn has set some pretty high bars.
Well I guess that is all for my first post. Our lives are normal but I hope you find this enjoyable. Have a great day!
