What were you doing at 4 am?

Crazy question I know.  You were more than likely sleeping.  My little man is normally sleeping but the last two nights he has really thrown me for a loop.  When I am sleeping so sound and I hear that first whine my first thought is "ugh dont breath, maybe he will go back asleep"!  Well that has not been the case.  As I THROW myself out of bed, I promise I am not smiling.  Go ahead and tell me I am a bad mom and one day I will treasure the moments I was up at night with Wy.  Right now, I would rather be asleep with everyone else in the normal slumber.

Last night my camera was in an arms reach when Wy was smiling and laughing.  I hope you enjoy!

(He normally does not sleep in Polo but he did last night!  :)

Sip and See

A couple weekends ago, my wonderful cousins hosted a sip and see for Wyatt.  It was held at Rhonda's home, which she had perfectly decorated.  From the food to the company, it couldn't have been a better day! Wyatt did so good for all of his guest.  He was wide awake a majority of the day and didn't fuss at all. 

Everything was PERFECT and it was so nice to introduce Wyatt to my family and friends.  I am so thankful for a wonderful family and don't know that I could ever express how much I appreciate them coming from North Carolina and Georgia to share the day! 

A New Way to Nap...

It's official, Wyatt can now roll from his belly to back and his back to belly. I put him down for his nap a few minutes ago and when I went in to check on him, I found him like this...

 He is just like his momma and has found it is much more comfortable to sleep on his belly.   If a precious baby sleeping on his belly with his booty in the air doesn't melt you heart, well, you are just strange! 

Oh my Hands

Hands, Hands, Hands, and what they are good for.

Allowing my mommy and daddy to sleep some more

Simply by sucking on a finger or two.

Especially when crying isn’t enough of a clue.

March 30th is when it began

For the camera, mommy ran.

One day I will wave hi,

Shake your hand when telling you bye.

Hold a special girls hand

Even wear a wedding band.

But for now, I keep doing what I do

The number of days this will be okay.. they are very few.

Daddy will say “you will have teeth like bugs bunny”

Mommy shouts, “keep your dirty hands out of your mouth honey”.

Today it is pretty darn cute,

The suckling noise is such a hoot.

Just wait until I find those 10 toes

And pull them all the way to my nose!

Back to Life...

...Back to Reality..

Seriously?

Why Me?

Well folks, it is O-V-E-R.  Maternity leave that is.

I so enjoyed it while it lasted but I have one question...WHERE DID IT GO.  There is absolutly no possible way that I have been off for 8 weeks and that my sweet boy is 9 weeks old now.  Time flies when you are having fun. 

I did learn a few things about this thing we refer to as "maternity leave".  The most important thing I have learned is that you should take off a few weeks before you baby is suppose to come.  I mean really, who cares if you work up to your due date.  I did and I have not had one person pat me on the back.  The only thing I had was a extra long recovery from both work and delievery.  Looking back, I imagine I would have been better off if I had taken atleast one week off.  I could have been resting and being pampered.  Instead, i worked my tail off...well not really off according to my co-worker.  He insisted that I have lost 80 lbs since I delievered this baby.  Thanks for the compliment dude but I didn't even gain half of his so called 80 lbs.  I must have been really large, in charge and miserable looking!  :)

So my fellow expecting mothers....take it from me and relax, relax, relax...

The second thing I have learned, if you can avoid it at all cost, do not fool yourself. Just say you are going to be off for atleast 8 weeks from day 1.  I can't imagine going back any earlier!  ;)  Next time I am taking 12 weeks off.  I am not having another baby until I have enough PTO saved.  MARK MY WORD!  ::okay, don't mark it, It will jinx me::

Work is well, its work.  I am enjoying my time back.  It is always fun to work 13.5 hour days when you have a newborn at home...NOT.  I do, I really do, love my job.  It is just an adjustment!

beep.  beep.  beep.  beep.....back to the IV pumps I go on Monday.

2 Months Old

Can you tell we have perfected the "Serious" look?  It is amazing how time flies and I can't believe my little man is 2 months old!  He has grown so much and is changing everyday.  He is getting the "social smile" down and does it mostly when the camera is as far away as possible!  He has amazing head control and we are already sitting in the bumbo every now and then. 

Back to work I go on Wednesday.  Whew, say a quick prayer for me....I know I can do this but I can't lie and say I want to.  :)  Okay, okay, I kinda do look forward to getting back into the routine again.  I will keep you updated. 

My first stroll

Zach and I took advantage of the wonderful weather and took wyatt for his first stroll.  He loved it!
