Monkeys!

Connor got a sock monkey in the mail yesterday from my friend Suzie at work. We LOVE it! Well, we love it but he wasn’t in the mood to model yesterday 😛 We had to take a picture for Auntie Bonnie and Jarrett because they love sock monkeys!

We went out yesterday and I took Connor to the bank and let all the gals see him. He got lots of attention and loving. Afterwards we went to Terence’s parent’s house and the above video is his twinkie cousin Arielle (born the day before him) and Connor getting burped. It’s so funny I was joking it was the baby burping Olympics!

My friend Travis just started a blog HERE to help raise awareness and money for Crohn’s disease…something that has effected him personally. If you all feel compelled to help him meet his goal he would appreciate it very much! Good luck Travis!!!

Wonderful Weekend

We had the BEST weekend! My Mom and Dad came from Arkansas to visit us and we had a great time. I wish they could stay longer…actually I WISH they lived right across the street! In a perfect world I guess. My Mom got up with Connor all weekend and I was able to get some good sleep, it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep will do for you! I feel so much better starting off this week. They left to go home this morning and I was so sad to see them go 🙁

WE LOVE IT!!!

Dad got a birthday pie from Braum’s-his FAVORITE ice cream!

Connor always has his hands on his chest and he’s always SO hungry! When I feed him he just clinches his fists so tight like he’s never going to eat again…ha..ha..!!!
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND TOO!
XOXO-BECKY

Getting in the groove

We are finally getting a routine down and I’m starting to feel better. For awhile I thought I was going koo koo because my hormones were just CRAZZZY! We had Connor’s newborn pictures taken yesterday and I can’t wait to see them 🙂

It’s awesome if I get more than a couple of meals in these days and my belly still looks like Jell-o Jigglers! I am starting to return to my old self though. Life has changed that is for sure…and I am so glad it has!

It’s been quite a challenging first week for us. We are getting in a groove though. Connor is starting to sleep more and my milk is getting better. I am pumping right now and trying to keep a supply in the fridge. We went back to the pediatrician this morning and he is up 1/2 a pound! He loves to suck on his hands and newborn clothing barely fits him! He is a big boy!
I had to get back on some antidepressants because I have been feeling really down. There is absolutely NO reason I should feel down right now…but I don’t want to end up with post pardom and I’m trying to do what is best for me and Connor. Our whole world has changed this week and it’s a WONDERFUL change and when I see my baby’s face I just want to melt. God is so good and I’m so thankful for this little blessing.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to figure things out 🙂
