Sleep Happy

By -

Oooh I'm so sleepy! But it's not as bad as it was the first week. I'm getting very used to this newborn business. Of course I have the help of my hubby who took about 4 weeks off to be with me and the babe... and he doesn't mind changing diapers to boot. I'm a lucky girl!
Everett is growing so much! At his 2 week appointment he was at 8lbs 15oz, 21.5 inches. 54th percentile for weight and 77th percentile for height. (he is almost as tall as me!)
I am going to be really biased and say he is the cutest baby ever! I nibble his face all the time. I hope he doesn't mind me doing it when he is 16.
We had our first big outing early this week with a trip to Turtle Bread Bakery. I needed a jumbo peanut butter chocolate chip cookie! I also indulged in a turkey sandwich, chicken tortilla soup and fresh lemonade. Oh joy!
The weather is FINALLY gorgeous and we have plans for lots of walks and fun times this summer. This winter was so brutal but thankfully not only did I come home from the hospital with my precious baby boy but also a lovely spring!

You probably won't want to nibble his face when he turns 16 because it will smell like B.O.

what a pretty baby! I hope you keep up with the pictures.

It's so nice that your husband is around. When he goes back to work, will you have a family member come to help? Many of my friends with new babies have their mothers or MILs come and stay with them for a while.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
