A little piece of heaven

I love my gym and missed it terribly the last two months. But, our time apart is over! Saturday morning I woke up and had two hours before Grant needed to be fed again. I decided that I couldn't wait any longer and I left to spend a blessed hour exercising. Although I haven't received the go ahead from my doctor, I figured I was smart enough to take it easy. It is amazing what a good sweat does for you. It was like I had entered back into a world that I had forgotten existed. There were other adults there! So, I am now re-energized and ready to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Luckily, when you only have a five and a half pound baby, you don't end up with much to loose. No longer am I counting down to my due date, I am counting pounds. 6 to go! And, this time I won't be sending out belly pictures...

How life has changed

First bath at home


First walk in the Bob


Looks like trouble


All hooked up but still cute as can be

Grant (or, as Jeff calls him, Wee Man) is now 14 days old and has been home just a week. But, it is amazing how quickly you forget what life was like without him. Our lives now revolve around a three hour schedule. 9, 12, 3, and 6 o'clock, day and night, we wake Grant up and try to force as much food down him as we can while he tries his best to remain asleep with his lips locked. Jeff was full time bottle man, while I hooked up to my breast pump. Now, Jeff is back at work, so it's just me and my little guy. Unlike my life that consisted of lengthy "to do" lists, my goal now is to accomplish at least one thing each day. For example, one day, I was pretty excited to put out my bird feeders. Today, I hope to update Grant's baby book. Other than these tasks, I spend my day feeding, pumping, and washing bottles. Wow, how things change! But, it is all worth it, because Grant is just adorable and I can't get enough of him!
