Long Overdue



I can't believe its been almost two months since my last post! I am so sorry...things have been busy to say the least. Being a parent is definitely a full time 24 hour a day job :) I love it! Well i resigned today from Enterprise so i am officially a stay at home mom now which is very exciting. Since my last post we have had visits from Grammie & Gramps (my parents) and spent the past two weeks in Hilton Head with Rob's Fam. Zach got to meet his Aunts Laurie & Julie and his Uncle Tommy. We had a blast. The little guy did not like the beach yet but he did well at the pool. He went out to dinner or lunch almost every day and he went on a Catamaran cruise one night. Of course he slept the whole time. Zach is getting to be a big boy, he had grown so much in the past couple months. At his 2 month appt he weighed 13 lbs 10 oz and was 24 inches long. He is at the top end of the growth chart right now. He has started to babble now and carried on some great conversation with his Grampa S. He loves to be in a sitting position and even pulls up onto his feet! I can't wait until he starts to laugh. Zach is not a very good day sleeper but he has been doing great at night. He goes to bed around 9:00 pm and sleeps usually until about 5:30 am. After I feed him he goes back to sleep until around 7:00 am. Well i think that about summarizes things for now. Will hopefully be better in the future about updating...

Growing Like a Weed!

Zach had his 1 month birthday this week! We can't believe it, the time has flown by. Our little man is getting SO big. We put him on the scale with Rob today and he came in at 11 lbs! I have a feeling he is going to be a tank :) He definitely is eating well. We have experienced a bit of what i am guessing is colic. He is fussy at night probably from 9-11, but them ends up sleeping well. So i guess i am thankful he's not up all night. He is only getting up once now around 4:30 a.m. Not much up for this weekend. Meg is coming for a visit tomorrow and Grammie and Gramps (my parents) have booked a flight for the end of the month! We can't wait!

Easter & First Bath


So we had our 2 week check up on Wednesday of last week and our little man was 8 lbs 14oz and 22 1/4 inches long! He has gained a pound and grown an inch in just 2 weeks! crazy! His umbilical cord also fell off at the Dr. office. SO that led to his first bath today! He has not been liking his sponges baths but as soon as i put him in the water this morning he perked right up and ended up loving it. We also had Rob's parents visiting for Easter. The other photo here is with Zach's first Easter basket goodies. We celebrated yesterday as Rob's dad drove home today. I still can't believe how fast the time is going by and how big he is getting. Now all i have to do is learn how to get him to sleep in his bassinet...

Week 2

Here we are week 2! i can't believe Zach is almost 2 weeks old! We go for our two week Dr. appt tomorrow so we will see how much out little guy weighs. Rob and i are having so much fun being parents. it still takes two of us to change the really messy diapers and he is not a big fan of his sponge baths, but we are getting the hang of it. I had my first night just the two of us last night which went better than i thought it would. Zach christened me with his first water spout, apparently i was not quick enough with the diaper :) Rob's mom and dad are coming back down on thursday for Easter and his mom will stay the week. Zach (and I) already misses his Grammie who left on Sunday, but she will be back soon!

March 6th Baby!!!

So we went to the Dr. today and found out we will be induced tomorrow! We tried for Friday but they were booked and the Dr. did not want to wait until Monday. This is the moment we have been waiting for and we are so excited, also a bit nervous. We go in tomorrow morning at 5:30 am so hopefully before this time tomorrow our little one will make their appearance. Rob's parents have already left to come down and I am waiting to hear when my mom's flight will be. That's the nice thing about having a definite date, our parents will probably make it here for the birth. We will go out tonight and celebrate our last night before our lives change forever :) For the better of course. We will email everyone or post something as soon as possible tomorrow!!! Yay!!!
