7 Weeks Old

It has been a long time since I wrote on my blog. I now realize how naive I was to think "after he comes I will have so much free time while on maternity leave to write on my blog." Yup I was naive. I love this boy. He has gotten huge!! We went to the doctor two weeks ago for a weight check and he was 12 pounds at 5 weeks! HUGE!!!! I know he is over 12 pounds now because I can feel it in my back : ) I was sad to put him in his 3 to 6 month clothes. It really made me realize how fast he is going to grow up. It has been such an amazing 7 weeks. I have had nights with 2 hours of sleep, nights where I was scared to death he wasn't breathing, I have been puked, pooped, and peed on, I have cried when he wouldn't stop crying because I didn't know how to help him, I have already had a panic attack about going back to work, but I have totally fallen in love. He has started to smile and it is the best thing in the whole world. He has started cooing and I love it. I absolutely LOVE dressing him in cute outfits. I have a hard time not buying something cute when it is on sale : ) He is so stinking cute. He looks so much like his dad to me it is crazy. I love to watch Josh with him - I can tell that they are going to be best buds. I really love this little guy. He has a death grip when it comes to my hair. He gets little baby snores some times. I hate his little baby tears when he cries. I love to sing songs to him and read him books. Oh this is going to be quite the ride!

On a different note. I have been desperately trying to get healthy. Everyone keeps telling me not to lose weight but I am trying to be genuinely healthy. It has been so great. Yes, I have lost a bunch of weight but I feel good. I want to be in good shape and healthy for the summer so that I can have lots of energy for this little guy. Plus it will be summer!!

I will try to stay up on my blog.... But I will leave you with a gummy smile from the little guy
