Max is 2 months and my Hub is 28!

2 month check-up today!
13lbs 13oz - 90th percentile
23.5 inches - 75th percentile
yep, I have a big boy and I LOVE him! Max made the trek to Utah last week to meet more of his fam, I will post about that soon!

28 years old today! (28 on the 28th!)

Simply put, Jared is the best. He is so good for me in so many ways. A few things I love about him:
- He is silly and makes me laugh till it hurts nearly every day
- He works hard
- He is patient
- He is a great dad
- He is so incredibly handsome
- He was SO great while I was pregnant and was a great birth coach
- He drove all the way to Utah and back home again last week, while I sat with Max in the back seat.
- He took me to Cafe Rio while we were in Utah so i could get my fix, even though it always makes him sick.
- He makes me so happy

I love my boys!

Happy Easter!

Thanks for your words of encouragement on my last post! My older sister and her cute family were in town for Easter! It was so fun having them here. Max had a great first Easter. It was also our first Sunday attempting all three hours of church with all three of us there. Max was making some noise during Sunday School so I took him out. Wow, I never realized what a party it is out in the halls! Our ward has over 80 infants so you can imagine! Needless to say I wasn't alone and found plenty of people to talk to.
Jared wore this outfit when he was a baby! Max was 6.5 weeks on Easter.

alright people, PLEASE don't give up on me! I have lots of faith that life returns back to a rhythm and routine after little ones enter the picture but that has not happened for me yet. I had my 6 week check up today and to be perfectly honest I shed a few tears on the way home thinking "ok, this was the milestone that meant life is all back to normal, but I still am just keeping my head above the water!" just keep swimming . . .just keep swimming . . . BUT I'm absolutely loving taking care of my baby, he is the sweetest little guy and I feel lucky to be his Mama. Here is a little slideshow of Max when he was 6 days old. I DO have video to upload, as promised, but that might not be until the next post! I'm still checking all your blogs even though I may not have a hand free to write a comment!

I also wanted to add that i chose this song because I used to listen to it before I was even pregnant while I was commuting to Salt Lake in the wee hours of the morning and imagine holding my babies in the hospital for the first time.

Just thought I'd throw up a couple pictures because Max is asleep and I have a minute, well, not really, there are a hundred things to do, but oh well, blogging is therapeutic for me! Life is SLOWLY getting back to normal. Max will be 5 weeks tomorrow. At his 1 month checkup this week he was 11lbs 5oz and nearly 22" long. I put him in a new little outfit today and he is just starting to look more like a little boy instead of a newborn. He is such a sweetie pie and I love being his mom. CHECK BACK FOR VIDEO SOON!
