Few...Far..& In Between

Okay so I know my posts are sometimes few, far, and in between but that is how it goes with a newborn. You stay pretty busy and when I have a few extra minutes I usually jump in the shower, tidy the house, or read my new obsession "Twilight." But I have done all that already this morning with the help of my little Brother watching Brody so I could get a shower so I had a few extra minutes and thought I would do a little update while Brody is napping.



Brody is now 7 weeks old and is getting ready to be 2 months old on Monday. Could someone please tell me where the last 2 months went? It has gone by sooo fast. It seems like just yesterday Brody's clothes were all too big and he was wearing preemies, and that his NB diapers were big on him. They really do grow up too fast so make sure and cherish every little moment. Being at almost 2 months old Brody is starting to wake up more throughout the day and he is becoming more alert. He is also starting to smile more and he seems to be recognizing voices as well. He is very strong with his neck and loves holding it up, just for a couple seconds. He really is growing. I am excited to take him to his doctors appt. on Monday just to see how much he has really grown in the last 2 months, but I am not excited for him to get his shots, that will be Daddy's job I may just have to step out of the room.



As bad as this is... I have yet to get Brody's pictures taken. Yes I have taken 100,000,000 myself but none professionally and I hate that but I am going tomorrow at 5:30 to get them... finally I know. I can't wait to see them, I know they will just be too cute!!



Okay... so I found something new that some of you moms or mommy to Be's could find handy... I got the Chicco Discovery Travel system and I love it! The car seat is #1 in safety and the stroller is very nice, maneuvers well, pretty light, and even has an adjustable handle for us taller moms once thing I don't like though is the basket.. it is not big enough to fit any of my diaper bags (I do have big one's though) and it drives me crazy so I found this thing at babies r us called "Mommy Hook" and you put it on the handle of the stroller and you can hang shopping bags from it or even a diaper bag, lifesaver for me!



Well of course before I have to go I will leave you with some new pictures of my little man!! Well I had several more to add but my computer keeps messing up so here are two!!

Any Creative Ideas?

So Brody is 6 weeks old and I am just now getting around to wanting to do a collage of his ultrasound pictures. I am sitting here with the pictures and a big frame and just at a loss. Anyone have any creative ideas? Has anyone done this with your baby's ultrasound pictures? Let me know!!

6 weeks old!!!!!!

Good Morning! Brody Luke is 6 weeks old today! Once again another week has gone by and he is a week older and I cannot believe it, please don't grow up too fast!!!!!!! We are up playing this morning, he is sitting in his boppy bouncy seat right now just staring at me and looking around. We had a really good night last night, he woke up two times and then we got up at 7 this morning. I love nights like last night!!
Not a lot is changing with Brody just yet, but I know it soon will. He is still sleeping a lot but wakes up several times throughout the day and I can tell he is being more aware. I just love when he is awake and I can see his pretty big blue eyes!! I have found something Brody just loves and so do I. I recommend that every mother has one, a Baby Bjorn front Carrier!! It is wonderful! I just put it on and put Brody in it.. I did it the other day so I could clean and he loved it and it makes him fall asleep. I also took it when we went grocery shopping so I wouldn't have to lug out the big stroller, so much easier! Any mother with a newborn or mother to be.. YOU NEED ONE!!!!
We had a few pretty warmer days last week, so I bundled Brody up in his stroller and took him on a walk so he could get some fresh air.. I hope he liked it, he was asleep the whole time!
Of course here are some pictures of the love of my life!!!

4 weeks!!

Just 4 weeks ago, there I was, waiting for my lil man to come!!! That is me and my beautiful mom!! Wow, I can't believe it has been 4 weeks since I was laying in room 307, with monitors on, an IV in my hand, just patiently awaiting the arrival of my beautiful baby boy!!!! It seems like it was just yesterday, time sure does fly by. Brody is doing great!! He sure is growing, I think he may end up being mommy's little chubby man, he sure does love to eat, fine with me just lets me know he is healthy!!!! Brody is starting to wake up more and be more alert, he loves to just look around. He has been sleeping pretty good at night and usually wakes up about every 3.5 hours. I had to take him to the doctor yesterday because he has been spitting up alot and they seemed to thing he may have a little bit of acid reflux, so we started the medicine yesterday and I hope that it helps. When they weighed him yesterday he weighed in at 9lb 1 oz, with all of his clothes on. So the Doctor said his true birth weight was probably at least 8 1/2 lb. So he is doing fantastic!!!

Well we got another snow storm last night, that gave us about 4-5 more inches of snow just when we thought it was over... I am so ready for spring and summer!!!!! I can't wait to be able to take Brody out for walks in his stroller, and out to the pool this summer!! He will definitely be a pool baby!!

I go tomorrow for my 4 week check with my doctor and hopefully I can get the okay to start exercising!!! I am ready to get this baby weight all off and back into my cute clothes !!






My cute lil man!!! Look how strong he is!! He can already hold his neck up!!Look how big he is getting!!!This is too cute.. he loves to hold on to his paci and he will pull it out of his mouth!!Oh yea.... I cute off all of my hair and dyed it back really blonde!!!! I needed a change!!!! I can't wait to start tanning and working out now!!Look how precious he is..sleeping away
