Photo Challenge FAIL =(

I tried people, I really did, but I've come to the conclusion having a newborn and trying to take random pictures daily... uploading those pictures daily just aren't fitting in with Max's schd. He barely lets me have time to do laundry let alone take a shower.

My two L.O.V.E.S

I <3 them both!

Photo Challenge

 I decided to partake in the February Photo Challenge.. although I am a day late, I will just do day 1 and 2 together. =)

 Day 1: View... here it is... My morning routine.. normally it's feed Max... put Max down for his 9 o'clock nap.. get a cup of coffee.. and turn on Live with Kelly.  Although today.. Max let Mommy sleep in until 9:30 so we missed Live with Kelly, so I get re-runs of Real Houswives of O.C. =)

Day 2: Words... I love this quote.. I actually have a wall hanging with this quote, but Chris won't let me display it because it's "too girlie".


Happy Thursday everyone!

Two Weeks

My little butterball is two weeks old today! I can't believe that two weeks has gone by as fast as it has. I couldn't ask for a better baby (knock on wood). He sleeps 3-4 hours at a time and is a wonderful eater... actually to good of an eater. Sometimes I get worried I may be feeding him too much, but when he acts like a little bird wobbling his head looking for his bottle, I kinda don't want to deprive him.

Chris and I have agreed that this Friday we will transition him from his cradle in our room to his crib. I figured we would do this when he doesn't have work the next day, so he can help out.

Stay tuned for more updated pictures.. I've been a bad Mom and haven't downloaded them onto the computer yet.

Happy Hump Day everyone.

Forty Four

That's how many pounds I need to lose post baby. I technically only have four pounds to lose to get back to pre-pregnancy weight, but not being able to eat for nine months is kinda haunting me right now, because all I want to do is eat EVERYTHING!!

I figure, I will give myself another week since I am still trying to recover from pushing out a nine pound baby, and then it's balls to the walls for losing this weight.

INTRODUCING...

38 Weeks tomorrow....

And I am STOKED!!!

I have an OB appointment today, so I am hoping for some good news. If I don't have any good news, I still get to look forward to Jan 16th.. which I go in at 8pm for my SECOND blood transfusion... stay the night and then get induced on the morning on the 17th!! I am still hoping I go on my own before then, but if I don't then I know I only have a week left.

And let me tell you I am READY...

I am ready to eat again.. my last full meal was in July when I was admitted to the hospital for a week.. since then it has just been my TPN (liquid I food) and ice chips.

I am ready to get this Picc Line out of my arm, so I don't have to lug around a black back pack with my IV in it.

I am ready to not be swollen from all the fluid intake I have had.

I am ready to lose this weight that I have so not enjoyed gaining. It's amazing that still without me eating and just getting these fluids how much weight I have gained. Granted the IV fluid bags that I have daily are 3,000 calories, it's still  crazy to me.

I am ready for this hormonal acne to go away on my chin too, I am not use to having all these nards on my face and it's driving me NUTS!

And last but not least.. I am ready to meet my son.. Chris and I can't wait to see what he looks like.

Again.. here's to hoping for good news at the Doctors this afternoon.
