Just an update with some random pictures scattered throughout ...
- I went to the grocery store for the first time today with both boys. With Jax up front, and Cohen in his car seat in the basket of the cart, there was absolutely no room for groceries. I was able to pick up a few of the necessities that we've been out of for a week, but nothing else. Note to self: bring the wrap the next time I go with both boys. And a snack for Jaxon to prevent the melt-down that ensued today over not being able to eat everything right off the shelves.
- Cohen had his 2 week check-up yesterday. He now weighs 7 pounds, 11 oz - which is exactly a pound more than he was at 4 days old. So in less than 2 weeks, he gained a pound... hooray for a happy and healthy boy and successful breastfeeding!
- We signed up to have our picture taken for the church directory. Our appointment was for 3:00 on Monday. At 2:20 I called to cancel, because I was on the verge of tears trying to figure out what we were all going to wear... considering Cohen only has about 2 actual outfits (he lives in pj's, what can I say?!) and 90% of my wardrobe still doesn't fit me, I was really stressing over something pretty silly, and decided it wasn't worth it, so I cancelled. Luckily they're doing them until December, so I can reschedule for a later time when Cohen and I both can fit into cuter outfits. I know I should be a little easier on myself considering I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post-partum, but it's hard. You just want to be back to your regular size, you know?
- It cracks me up that every time Cohen has a bath, it's a big event at our house. Everyone partakes in this event. How would you like to bathe with 3 people watching you? Poor little guy... haha!
- I still haven't decided if I'll be decorating the house for Christmas this year or not. My sister doesn't believe me that I won't, but the thought of it is a little intimidating right now. I'm also on the hunt for a "1st Christmas" ornament for the little guy and realizing I just bought a "1st Christmas" ornament for Jaxon last year -- it makes me think ... you know you had your babies too close together when . . .
{just kidding, I love it.}
- I should be honest and show you a preview of what 80% of Cohen's newborn pictures looked like:
Poor little guy was hungry and Mommy kept taking pictures anyways. Don't worry, he was fed. No babies were harmed during this photo shoot.
- Only 5 days until my family arrives for Thanksgiving. Some nights I can't sleep thinking about them coming... I am so stinkin' excited. {that's not the only reason I'm not sleeping... :::cough::: Cohen...}
- Jax is up from his nap, so the that's all for now folks. Have a great weekend!
Ha! Girl, you're doing great. Congrats on the successful breastfeeding with Cohen gaining a pound! I found BFing to be so much less stressful this time around (aside from all my boob issues).
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the grocery shopping. It is tough. I try to go when my husband is home because it's just so much less stressful for me. I am a slow grocery shopper and that doesn't seem to work with two kiddos!
I bet you're excited for your family to meet your new baby boy! Joy to the world :)
Have SUCH a great time when your family is visiting! So happy for you!
