What a Difference!

Matthew and I were talking about how Sean has really grown. Check out this video from the hospital...

This Momma's Heart is Full...

Now, on this episode of "Cribs"...

The day before Sean was born, I ordered his crib set and friday it finally arrived! Well, we got it all cleaned up and here is Sean enjoying his crib. Love that smirk!

Happy Diaper Changes

Sean used to hate having his diaper changed and he cried the whole time. But that might have also been due to his diaper rash. Now I guess he's getting used to it and even "talks" to us sometimes.

But They're Worth It...

I've been telling everybody that being a mother is the hardest thing I've ever done thus far. Sleep deprivation, sore nipples, anxiety about doing something wrong coupled with being tired. I'm tired of wearing Matthew's shorts and t-shirts, not getting to drink anything fun, the perpetual disarray of our apartment, sleeping only two hours at a time... Of course, nursing is difficult too because I'm the only one who can feed Sean (every 2-3 hours), but I love how close we are and how he snuggles up next to me. I love how people come up to see him (and tell me how cute he is) when I'm out with Sean in my baby sling. And I get to spend my days (and nights) with this little guy...

Frappuccino Fallout

So this morning I picked up a frappuccino from "Barstucks" before I ran some errands with Sean. Well, I drank about 2/3 of it and Sean suffered the consequences. (I'm so sorry, Sean!) He couldn't nap for more than about 20 minutes at a time. He was really fussy and didn't fall asleep until about 10pm when Matthew had him in his baby sling. I couldn't figure out what it was until I thought about what I had eaten and drank today. I guess between the caffeine and sugar, it was too much for him!

Happy Birthday, Matthew!

Doesn't Matthew look excited?

Today was Matthew's birthday. No big hoopla since I didn't get to cook or bake anything. We just ate chinese takeout and a slice of chocolate cake with ice cream. (Can't have a birthday without cake and ice cream!)
