2 Months!

I cannot believe that it has been two months with Will! Rob and I were discussing yesterday how we can't believe we went through life without him. It hasn't been easy but the past two months have been filled with love. I thought I would never forget the first couple months because of the sleep deprivation but it is all just a blur now lol.

Here is what's happening:

Will has a morning nap, an afternoon nap, and can sleep for 5 hours at night...then 2 hours...then 1.5 hours and then it is wake up time! (this is on a typical day that is...sleep is still negotiable)

My body is not used to getting 5 hours of consecutive sleep at night...so when he wakes up at 3am I have a really hard time going back to sleep...if I do at all. My body feels great and rested compared to the past few weeks!

He can lift his head and is sooooo close to sitting in the Bumbo chair.

We are getting smiles :) Especially me! He loves both of us but is very partial to me right now...geee, I wonder why? ;)

His feedings have FINALLY slowed down...and by slower I mean every 1.5 to 2.5 hours during the day. Much better than 45 min to 60 min. It has made me incredibly efficient though! You have no idea what I can accomplish in an hour now!

I stored all of his 0-3 month clothes...and cried...and cried...

I have discovered Cravings....ouch $$. Made the mistake of buying a couple REALLY cute rompers for Easter...that he wore....ONCE (betcha saw that coming). I have since discovered the Value Village in Stonebridge...WOW! Nice, clean, and tons of Baby Gap ;) Cravings can be for special occasions.

I have time to go for daily walks and workout. Some me time! I even figured out how to nurse in the carrier! Life saver!!

I have figured out that if Will is awake and I need to bathe...he will accept a bath...not a shower. He likes the sound of the running water when I fill the tub. The shower does not fool him ;)

I just want to give a shout out to my mama friends...the first couple months were not easy for me...I know now that they aren't for anyone. Definitely had light and dark days. Thank you for making me feel normal!! There is much more light now :)

Anyway...much to do and I have no idea how long this afternoon nap will last! That is just a sneak peak at my life right now.

What a Week?!

Last week felt like a whirlwind of activities!

First of all....

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY SAGELYNE!!!

I'm a horrible aunt and didn't get any pics of the celebrations but we made it to the Fun Factory for a "Glamour Party" and had a family birthday party at our house.

You are growing soooo much! It is crazy how much you have matured this year :) You are a great help with Will (I knew you would be ;) ). How can you not be great with babies when your number one career choice is to be a mom? (Although I have heard you start to mention "jail police" and teacher this year...cool!) You're gonna be a natural! You have also shown us how "in tune" with your emotions you are, and you are very good at expressing yourself. I know many adults that are unable to do this! (I'm not the best at it either). Keep it up! I'm so happy that you are expressing an interest in activities like art and choir. It's so cool being able to see the activities that you naturally gravitate towards. I can't wait to watch over the next few years and see who you will become. It will be fabulous for sure!!

To make up for lack of pics...remember these? We've had some fun you and I!!

I was also able to go on our bi-annual shopping trip to Humboldt's Cottage Boutique. This year we went after hours for a private shopping experience. Champagne, food, and clothes everywhere!! They are sooo good to us. Will was easy peasy that night and I got some great finds that I love:) I even got a couple things that I forced myself to try on...and ended up loving!

Last weekend my fav cousin Linda, Aunt Janice, and Linda's son Liam came out to visit us. I wish I lived in Calgary! I miss you all soooo much. Sometimes it is kinda lame being the only ones that live in Saskatchewan but it makes our time together that much more special. Linda may be back this summer!! Fingers crossed!! Did I mention that you're my favourite and I love you? I wish I could put words together so that people could understand lol. Thank you so much for helping on the weekend and reminding me that I just need to trust myself and my instincts. You're right! I have taken care of babies and children all my life! Even though it isn't quite the same...I still feel better remembering that I have done it and am doing it now :) Perhaps all those summers that you drove out to take care of me at my dad's rubbed off :)
