Anyone who had any sort of contact with me during my pregnancy knows that I was STONE cold! Seriously, I cried less than 5 times during my entire pregnancy. Now that I have actually had the baby though I cry ALL the time. I think this hit an all time low yesterday as I cried through Fresh Prince of Bel air!!! Seriously!!?!? ..in my defense it was the one where Will's dad came back for the first time in 14 years and then after promising will.. blah blah blah ..he left again. Will was TORN apart.. ugh. I want to cry again thinking about it. Please tell me that someone out there has seen this episode and at least thought about being sad. Don't worry I know what you are thinking "Tracy has lost it."

..I am thinking that too

un title able

Here are some incredibly random pictures. #1 mack in the bath, that little abercrombie model is going to make me millions. #2 our first little family picture.. yeah i am still trying to lose the freakin 15 extra pounds I put on during pregnancy. :)good times. #3 My little baby boy and daddy. They are seriously so cute together. #4 a random picture of a voo doo witch doctor.. me and mack got lasered last week.. Long C-R-A-Z-Y story cut short, I can eat gluten now, and Mack is in the process of being able to poop :) ...and we are going to hell because we practice voo doo and worship the devil.

Mack has been super constipated. sad. I am breast feeding but he still isn't going. I have been trying EVERYTHING!!! .. including excluding dairy from my diet. That means I am currently not eating gluten, dairy, or chocolate!!!!! what do I eat? .. you guessed it, Rice Crispy treats! My dad bought me this massive box, which i consumed in ONE week. That's right ONE WEEK. I asked Cody how many he ate to make my pathetic self feel better.. i mean, I couldn't have eaten the entire box. ..yeah, he ate 3. That leaves me eating 51 bars of deliciousness in 7 days. Please don't do the math of how many I ate a day - I am already humiliated enough.

We'll get there ... right?

Did I spend a lot of time and effort on Mack's room? Yes, yes I did. and how much time has he spent in there?.. well, today was his first visit. I know he will sleep there eventually, but really it feels like he is going to sleep in my room for the rest of time. He is only three weeks old ... don't feel the need to tell me what I already know... I have a long way to go. It does make me laugh a little remembering how insistent I was that his room needed to be finished before he got here...sorry Cody:)

Friends

Mack got to play with his friends Houston and Peighton this weekend. He was pretty much passed out the whole evening, but he must have had a good time because Peighton put the moves on him..

Baby Mack

Here is the new addition to the Huffaker family! Mack was born on March 10th at 4:30.
I was in labor a total of 6 and a half hours. I pushed right around 4 or 5 times and he came FLYING out!!! There really isn't too much to my labor story, it was pretty text book! (thank goodness) Most of the time I curse my birthing hips - but i guess they do come in pretty handy when birthing,.. go figure. It was the craziest most amazing experience of my life! Mack is probably the most chill baby in the entire world. When he was delivered he didn't even make a peep.- he just looked all around with his gorgeous blue eyes!! I think he is the spitting image of Cody except with my French skin coloring! We love our new baby boy!

An end in sight.

The lord definitely had a hand in my pregnancy. Me and Cody weren't trying to get pregnant when we did. No timing came into play, and plans? - we don't really have those. But it just so happens that I am able to deliver this baby on the one week (spring break) that Cody will be able to be there. having Cody around will make a world of difference for me.
With that said, I am being induced on Tuesday March 10th. 9a.m. In my honor I would appreciate it if everyone would eat a donut for me! Wish me luck.. I am so nervous.

this is an old pic of Cody with good old Louis himself.. (and by that I mean in the wax museum in NY) I also posted the picture of him and shakira.. cody looks a little too happy.

Mack the Knife

When I first found out I was pregnant Cody would lean over to my belly and yell/scream "BAAAABBBYYY..." ... maybe it was an attempt to say hi? maybe it was an acknowledgment that I had a baby in there? Or maybe he was just trying to terrify the baby?.. I don't know. But since we have found out that it is a boy, and then decided to name him Mack, Cody now sings this Louis Armstrong song 'Mack the Knife' at my belly CONSTANTLY!! (truly like 4 times a day) Me and Codes both love Jazz and so this has come to be Macks 'theme song.' ...After actually listening to the song I have realized that Mack the knife is actually a song about 'Mack' who as it turns out is a rapist/murderer scum of the earth. Should I be concerned that my unborn child is going to become some crazed lunatic because his parents have a sick sense of humor? .. I am due two weeks from today, so if he comes out with a knife in his hand, wearing a bandanna and has shifty eyes.. I will take full blame

In love with a tree

How freaking amazing is this tree!?! I have been in love with this tree for years. I pass it every day on my way home from work and every day I wish I had time to stop and climb it! Yesterday was the day. I have had it planned out for some time now. Seeing as how I am ginormously huge and struggle to even put on my pants these days I did the second best thing to climbing the tree.. I sent Cody to do it. He might have been a little hesitant at first, but by the end I had to drag him home. ( i wanted to leave prematurely because i was jealous... ) anyway the tree is right behind Desert Schools on Brown and Stapely I think. I really don't think there is a better tree in existence. Please. go. find this tree, and go climb it!!! - (but I would do it

either after hours, or on a Sunday - I'm not sure how the business would feel about tree climbers)
