Motivation

As everyone who comes to my blog can see I had a baby 8 weeks ago! I love him to the moon and back and I LOVE being a mommy. 

(Hehe showing our pouty lips)

My pregnancy was horrible. I was sick every day (no exaggeration) throwing up. I would gain 3lbs and lose 5. So I actually didn't end up gaining weight during my pregnancy. Sounds great sure but it was miserable. I also ended up with preeclampsia and had my little guy 5 weeks early! 

So now that he's here he is my motivation to do so many things. 

•be a better person

•be the best mom possible for our family

•not only be a mother but a girlfriend too

•not let the little things in life bother me

•work smarter and not harder at my business

•make lots of money to provide things for him and his brothers that they deserve

•lose more weight (I want to drop 20lbs by Christmas. I don't need to but I want too)

•give onto others and not expect anything in return

Amongst so many other things...it's crazy to me how such a small being can make you want to change so much. These are the most impressionable years for Nash and his brothers. I wouldn't trade time with them for anything else. 

These two pics are from 6 days before I had Nash. I miss my little belly. I LOVED it.

This is my progress at 7 weeks out after having him! Still have work to do but I am extremely happy with my results thus far. 

What are some things that people in your life motivate you to do?

Side note: Nash was THE cutest little Dork yesterday for Halloween to hand out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters. We have costumes for Nash's brothers but that's a long story as to why we didn't get to have them AGAIN as planned. But either way get a laugh out of this guy.
