Sunshine!


Could there possibly be anything sweeter? That is my 2 month old sweetheart!

I can't believe how fast the last two months have flown by. I know I keep saying that time is flying past, and its such a cliche for a new mom to say that, but it is truly getting away from me! I went to Costco last week for work and got so jealous of the moms out with their babies! I wanted my little guy with me. Its like a delayed reaction from going back to work I guess, but its really got me down. I miss him so much during the day, its damned distracting!

Other than my distress at leaving my baby everyday, things are going pretty well! We are busy with social stuff every weekend and Carson does so well with meeting our friends and hanging out! He is gaining weight properly and pumping is going as well as I can hope. He is laughing and cooing and smiling, I absolutely love it! He is the light of my day!

Crazy 8!

How the heck did 8 weeks go by so fast? My sweet little boy is going to be 2 months old next week, and it seems like we just had him! I just can't believe it.

We are getting through the weight gain issues, and my supply is doing great, so Carson is doing great! He is getting a good 3-3.5 oz at each feeding and he is now 9 lbs 1 oz and 23 inches long! So breastfeeding is finally going well!

I went back to work this week as well, and Carson started with his sitter. So far so good, the first 3 days went well! We are really getting into a great schedule with him now and I love it! I hate leaving him at the sitters though, I just want to stay home and cuddle him and make him smile! But I stay so busy at work and with my pumping breaks the day goes by really fast! And he gets along great with our sitter, so that gives me some piece of mind.

We joined a gym this week! Here begins our journey to getting our bodies back! I am excited to get started, and excited to see some results. It rained all week though, so we didn't get to go, didn't want to get Carson out in the rain to go to the gym.

That's our life in a nutshell right now. Work, baby, sleep!
