Yipee!

Ever since I got pregnant there has been one thing that I wanted and today I finally got it! I kept putting off ordering one on the internet because they are sooo expensive. Well, today while I was casually perusing the items at Target I found this on sale- originally $40 I got it for $10. How awesome is that?!

Here is my great find-


I don't know if I am using it right but I really hope so! I have to go watch my instructional dvd now.

Here's my little guy before he went into the sling-

Baby Shower

Luke had his baby shower last Saturday and it went really well. My mom and my sisters did a great job putting it all together. I can't wait to put pictures up but I need one of my sisters to email me some of the pictures because I only got one :(

I received many great things from all the people there and I really enjoyed getting to see people that I hadn't seen in so long. I had some cousins there that I only get to see a few times a year so that was special to me that they came.

It really hit me on Saturday that we are all growing up. I don't think that I had fully realized it till everyone was there for MY baby's shower. I have a child and have to stop acting like a little girl myself. I have so many responsibilities now and I can't shirk any of them.

In other news I took Luke to the doctor and it went really well. He got his shots (yes, I know they are considered evil in some circles) and he took them like a pro. He also was up to 8 lbs 10 oz so that was exciting for me. It seems like it took so much work just to get him to weigh that much. Now I just keep pushing food and praying that he continues to gain weight.

2 Months Old

Today Luke turned 2 months old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone since I had him. Sometimes I think that I can still feel him in the womb kicking me. Gone are the days of nice nights of sound sleep and pleasant dreams. Luke doesn't like to sleep so every night is a battle to get him to lay down. Whenever I look at him sleeping or smiling though I know that it is all worth while. I love every day that I have with him.


Now starts my little picture show :)

This is Luke with his little 2 months old sign.


Luke loves looking into the mirror.


We decided to go to a forest preserve and hike. Luke enjoyed being in his baby carrier.

So ends my little photo show. I enjoyed our nice little day out.

New pictures

I took these pictures today and I think that they are cute.

I put Luke on a little bit of formula now and he is doing much better. He is sleeping better and I think that he is already picking up some weight.

Crazy Times

It has been awhile since I have had the time to actually sit down and write a post. I never thought that motherhood would be so crazy! I thought that I would be the perfect little mommy with a clean house and happy child.

Wow, I was wrong. My baby doesn't get a bath everyday because it is such a hassle to get everything ready because every time that I put him down he starts screaming. He then screams afterwards because I have to clean it up. The only way I am able to pick up is to have him strapped to me in a baby carrier. Oh and when I cook he is strapped onto me the whole time I do that.

My baby was a little sick this week as well. His being sick made everything a lot harder.

So I guess this week has been a series of lessons teaching me that everything goes pretty bad whenever I try to do it in my own strength. I think that I would be going insane without my prayer time every morning. I have a cute little baby though :)

This is the only way I am able to get some cleaning and laundry done.



And here is one just cause he is so sweet.
