Hi! It's only been forever since I've posted! This is great!
It's been many many months since any updates, so here's a quick synopsis:
I had a baby! Thomas Ulysses Baird was born June 5th, 2012 at 8:26 a.m.

Skye left on a patrol about a month later and I fell into postpartum depression, boo, but with the help of my branch members and family, and zoloft (yay!) I was able to make it through to the end of the patrol.

Skye came back and we had a wonderful two months together! We blessed Tommy out in Utah with all the family and I took my first surfing lesson.

The next patrol Skye went on I just packed up and headed out to Utah to stay with my family the whole time. What an awesome way to spend that patrol! I totally missed Hurricane Sandy, I got to see tons of my old friends, I got to attend karate class again (thanks mom for babysitting!), and Tommy grew and grew showered by love from both sets of grandparents. I also chopped off my hair and I LOVE IT!

Now I'm back in New Jersey and I feel so good! I'm off the zoloft, I'm excited to be a mom, and I love seeing Tommy grow! He turns 6 months next week, HOLY COW! Glad we made it through, and I'm excited to see how he grows the next 6 months!
