Now and Then!

So I woke up this morning to the screams of my beautiful baby girl and I thought to myself I think only I would find her crying adorable. Although at 2 am it is sometimes hard to cope with a crying baby and groggy eyes. However for the past 5 weeks I have managed to do it for the most part with a smile on my face. If anyone would have asked me 6 weeks go at 2 am how I felt I would have said misrable. If they would have asked me 3 years ago my response would have been great as I moved to the beat of what ever song was playing. Which brings me to the point of this blog. It is amazing after 5 weeks how much you can change as a person and in 3 years the difference in the type of life one lives.
3 years ago I was a party late night dancing machine. I was a single party girl who went out 5 maybe 6 nights a week. Then I met Rob quit my job at Vegas Exposure and fell in love. Fast forward to May 2007 we were becoming rocky both of us questioned our realationship after losing a baby in October we never really recovered. I think it made us both question if we were meant to be. Then on Mother's Day I find out we are pregnant. We were both happy but nervous and worried about EVERYTHING! Once I made it to the 2nd trimester we were relieved, we moved into one of Rob's houses and I transformed it into a home for our family with my new found decorating skills. January rolls around and I have had NO complications almost to easy of a pregnancy. Today I am the pround parent of a gorgeous baby girl. All that in 3 short years.
I am not sure what shocks me more that I am asleep by 9 pm or that I have my own little family that I cook and clean for. I used to be slowly pulling my act together at 9 pm to get ready to go to work mopre then likely waking up from a late evening nap. Today midnight to me sounds REALLY late when before that was truly early, we still had plenty of time to get to the club. LOL! Mical-anne and I had our glory days that is for sure. I think we packed in enough partying in 1 year to satisfy one whole life. I do not even want to drink anymore, another shocker.
I am starting to think that the journey I have made all happened to bring me here to this moment that I look over at my daughter asleep in her basinet, well sorta asleep her arms keep going crazy as always. I am truly thankful for her. Everyday has a new surprise in store. I may not know all the songs at the club anymore but I know every word to any country song and I like it this way. We listen to country 24/7 Olivia is soothed by it, she does not like any of my old cds. So my car has transformed from closet on wheels/ bumping the latest hits to Baby Enstein's Bach and a clean back seat with a pretty pink car seat, I am a mom! YES A MOM! I LOVE IT! Today I think it really hit me this is the rest of my life and I am so lucky to have Olivia and Rob to spend it with!
