Mothers Day!

OK I have been SO bad lately about keeping up with this life blog, but I have been so consumed in life! So I said that I will catch us up to the "now" and I will do that now! Allllllllll in one post! SO I told yall about Cale and I last time but now on to our beautiful baby! We have a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.......did I say beautiful?!?!?! daughter named Vayda Lynn Iorg! She will be a year August 11! I am so depressed and cry every time I think about her birthday! Cale and I were going to wait until we had been married over a year to get pregnant butttttt sometimes things work out differently! And for that I am extremely thankful! Cale and I had been married for 9 months, and he was playing winter ball in Arizona, and after being told that it takes a normal, healthy female about 3-6 months to conceive and sometimes even a year we thought we were golden and that it would happen after our one year anniversary Feb 6th......butttttt it only took 3 weeks, lol. So somethings went really really really right! :) So I only like the state of AZ for one reason and that's because I got pregnant there, I mean unless you like dry, hot, tumble weeds, scorpions, cactus and no grass/ water! But anywho, so we were in Double A, Erie PA last season, where we had Vayda! I have never been more scared or nervous to do something in my whole life. I just did not understand how she was going to come out of the tiniest space ever, I know lots of info there, but it is true! It never made sense to me how it was going to happen until it did! We were actually induced for a whole day, the day after her due date, but no Vayda stuck her nose in the air and said " I don't think so!" so we went back home and then Wed. August 11 Vayda decided it was her time! So 3 days late she came! I just remember Cale being "all up in there" involved during the delivery, but ya know I didn't care at all....he loved watching and if you ask him he will say " I basically delivered her myself," so we will just let him think that! LOL Vayda came out with a head full of black curly hair! She had and still has the best color, she was blessed with my olive Native American skin color! I had never seen a more beautiful face in my life! It is something that no parent can ever describe, you have to have your own baby to understand the love and emotions you feel when you first see them and hold them. It is so overwhelming. I don't even remember what I use to do now with my time because it is fully consumed by Vayda. I am SOSOSO blessed to be able to stay at home with her! She makes life so complete and perfect! When Cale is on the road with baseball I have my very special little friend to keep me company and she sure does that! So far Vayda has lived in Erie, Pa....Toledo OH....Tampa, FL (her permanent home for now) Surprise, AZ....and back to Toledo, OH! She is well traveled in her first year of life! So Vayda will be 1 in 2 weeks, so so so excited but so sad, because now we start counting the years! Vayda is a ball of fun, she has her father's personality and is just a hoot, but she will sure show you her temper if you mess with her! That will come in handy when she gets older, bc unfortunately Vayda is going to be beautiful, just like her daddy, and there will be many boys perusing so Vayda needs to start her toughness now! Poor ole Cale, he is gonna turn gray SO fast! I love watching him be a daddy, he is precious and loves Vayda so much! She doesn't know how good she has it to have a Father like him! I can't wait to watch Cale grow into a "DAD" when she starts school and starts her own little life. Cale and Vayda are my everything! I love them so so so much! I have loved Cale since I was 18 years old and my love for him grows more every day. I watch him on the baseball field and sometimes I feel like a little girl all giddy and think wow that Hotty on the field belongs to me?? WHAT?? How did I get so blessed?!?!?! And then I look at Vayda and think, WOW I was so blessed to have such a healthy baby! I mean nothing wrong with her at all, just a bunch of perfectness! So now you are caught up!

So on to this crazy baseball life. It is a big ball of stress, it goes up and down and doesn't stop. It is literally a roller coaster ride, but I wouldn't trade this life for any other! Lately Cale, who ONLY plays short stop and is THE BEST in the whole league, has been put at second, third and even out field (gasp/ heart attack) but just proved more and more to people what an A+, incredible athlete he is because he has dominated every position, how many people can really excel at positions they have never played in their entire life? Ummmmm Not many! But that is why he is the bestest! Still makes me nervous though!!! Cale is such an amazing ball player to watch, he always does something eye catching and I love it but it is still stressful to watch though! Baseball goes into so many different things, mental, emotional and physical. And on the wife side.....it is allllllllll emotional !!!!That is why I laugh when groupie girls or other people say they want this life, NO you don't only a rare breed of woman can handle it, and the girls that come around you wouldn't last a second, sooooooooo back down sista's!!!!! lol........It is very emotional too. Because you have to be the strong one when you husband is down or struggling. It can weigh heavily some times too. Some days I just have to let out a good cry and then I am good again! Ohhhh if Vayda could talk she would tell some people that Mommy said a bad word today, hahaha. But moving past the negative, baseball life and baseball marriage is so much fun, new places and new faces always and I love meeting new people and making friends. I have some friends through baseball who have turned into my very best friends, and I talk to them daily! You need people who live this life to be close to you because NO ONE else could ever understand this way of life! It is just impossible! Anyways hope you got caught up, it is time to watch Backyardagains with Vayda! Love to all!
