8 Week Update

Ok - get use to it...I'm probably going to say this at the start of each post from now on - at least the ones that are all about my baby boy. WHERE IS THE TIMING GOING?!?!? Today my boy is 8 weeks/2 months! I don't want him to keep getting older. I want him to stay just the way he is. As I type this...I'm having coffee and an English muffin, while my boy sleeps. I do need to get him up in a few minutes to eat and get cleaned up. We have his 8 week doctors appointment at 10:30...and he's getting shots! Gasp.

This past weekend was Father's Day Weekend - Stew's 1st Father's Day! I gave Stew his Father's Day gift early...well, because it was just that important.

I mentioned in an earlier post that for Stew's birthday I got him a kegerator. Well, for Father's Day I got him a new tap for his keg and two new beer glasses. To say the least - he was psyched. I know - not very "sentimental", but to us...it was. He LOVED it. See, when we decided to start a family - we said that we weren't going to stop doing the things we love doing. (I'm not saying we LOVE drinking beer...well... I guess we do). And just because we have our little guy in our life, it doesn't mean we can't have a beer while grilling out at night. So there. Ok - where was I? - yes...Fathers Day. I gave Stew his gift on Friday night so that we could try out the new the tap and glasses.

The new glasses - Stella: Stew's favorite

Enjoying Father's Day Weekend by the pool.

Before we hit the pool on Saturday, I had a hair appointment. While I was out - my boys watched the Boston Bruins Parade on TV and went out for a walk. Stew tried out the Bjorn for the first time too! I normally wear him in my wrap, so we haven't tried the Bjorn yet.

There they are - matching outfits and all.


This week was busy for me and my little one. We went to the pool, went to the Mall (three times), Target, my office and now today we are heading out for his doctors appointment. 

As I continue to type this - it's 4 hours later and we are back from the Doctors office. Here are his 8 week stats:

12lbs 14oz
24" tall 
3 shots
5 second of crying
1 small throw-up on the nurse
2 Snoopy bandaids
100% healthy!

Our next appointment in at 4 months - and he'll start cereal (if we want).

Many of you have asked how I'm doing - and I'm doing great. I'm still carrying an extra 8 pounds - but I feel great. I'm really not in a rush to try and take those pounds off. I'm wearing my bikini at the pool and most of my clothes from last summer - although, most are too tight in the ta-ta area. I went from a 34 C to a D. Yikes! I'm still breastfeeding/pumping as well - so hopefully I'll get back to my C once we're done.


Alright - I need to get some things done around the house while G naps...so here are some pictures from the last few weeks. Enjoy.


too cute!

Not a newborn!

Where is the time going? I had to pack away my boys newborn clothes this weekend!

He's such a joy to be around and such a happy baby! He makes our life so exciting every day.

We had a little heat wave here in New England last week, so we spent our days at my parents pool. I'm so lucky to have a Son that loves the warm weather and the water as much as we do. He loved being outside in the fresh air, loved being in the pool - yes,  he went in the pool and slept like a rock every night.

This week we are back to crappy weather - so we are hanging at home this week...with maybe a few shopping trips here and there.

I'll do my best to post more this week...I'll leave you with a few random pictures.

Smile...




My sweet baby is starting to smile at Momma! I cried yesterday when he did.

My Big boy is doing so well. He's lifting his head, eating great and sleeping pretty good too. Last night he had his last feeding at 9:00pm and slept until 2 am. I was so proud of him!

His 4 week check up went great. He weighs 10 lbs 9 oz. Next appointment is at 8 weeks!

We are off for a walk so that Momma can work off these last 10lbs - I'll update more in the next few days!
