Blessing Day!

On Sunday Brockston was blessed. It was an awesome day. Nate did such a great job and it was fun to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us. We thought it would be a good time to get our first family photo in as well. We didn't get one at the hospital mostly because I didn't want a camera anywhere near me! Brockston has been such a blessing in our lives and he is such a sweet baby. He smiles all the time and has turned out to be quite the chatter box! He is sleeping so well through the night. He usually gets between 8 and 9 hours of sleep. I'm totally loving this mother thing now that I get more sleep!

Such a cute happy boy!

Brockston is getting so alert and he loves to smile and "talk/sing" to us. I don't think any if these pictures show it very well but he has the cutest little dimple on his right cheek. The pictures do show he has a twinkle in his eye when he's happy. I can't believe how quickly he is growing. Time flies! We've had 3 awesome nights in a row where he's slept for 6 hours or so! We'll take it. I just hope that he keeps it up!

Quick Update

Sorry no posts in a while. Our lives pretty much consist of eating, sleeping, and changing diapers. Not much excitement. Brockston is getting bigger and changing every day. He is definitely more alert and gives good smiles for us. I haven't mastered the art of getting him to smile and hold still long enough to get a good picture - Nate and I need to double team him and we'll hopefully get a good picture soon. He is getting on more of a schedule and sleeping better at night. He still only goes about 3-4 hours between feedings so we're not sleeping the whole night, but improvement is being made!

I had my surgery this week to remove the ginormous ovarian cyst that they found. (See earlier post for explanation.) Everything went well and luckily they only had to remove the cyst and they were able to do it lapriscopic which meant I didn't have to stay overnight in the hospital. Unofficially I think that I lost about 10 lbs, but that's just on the bathroom scale that's not super accurate. I am down to my prepregnacy weight but that does not mean that I am back in shape by any means. I still have a ways to go! It is encouraging though. Thanks to my mom for taking care of Brockston for us. It was not easy being apart two nights, but it was good to get some sleep and let my body recover. Also thank heaven for pajama pants and maternity jeans because normal pants rub right on my incisions. I still have a little pain and it KILLS when I sneeze, but all in all we are doing well.

I promise I'll post more pictures soon, but the babe is getting hungry so I'd better run!

Such a cute sad face!

This is Brockson's sad face. Too cute!

His little eyebrows reimind me of a Thwomp from Mario Kart - you know the guys that try to smash you as you go by....

Gotta stop to take a breath...

"Ok Mom, put down the camera and feed me already!"

This one is more sad than cute - I promise I don't neglect him!

Cousins!

Bath Time!

Brockston's not so sure about his first bath. I think that he'll end up liking them in time. It was cut short though because yep, you guessed it he peed in the water! :)
