Will I EVER have my body back?

OK, all you mommas out there, this question is for you....will my body EVER be the same again?

So I have about 15 baby pounds left that I would like to loose. The pounds are coming off S-L-O-W!!!! I have my eating under control, so that is not the problem. The problem is getting to the gym. When do you go? How do you make the time? I need some tips, so PLEASE let me know what your secret is.

I think the hardest part of this is , that right before I got pregnant I was in the BEST shape of my life. I had just lost 30 lbs, and bought some cute new jeans and form fitting shirts. Right now I would rather dress up like a nun than try in squeeze into those things.

So I want to hear it the good, the bad, and the ugly. Tell me the truth about the post baby body and most of all share what works for YOU!!

3 Months Old

                                                               A big boy at 3 months!

                                                                 D's first Halloween!!

                                                       Hanging out in my new jumperoo

                                                                  Jumping is HARD work!

                                                             One of those cute smiles we love!

                                                                   Bad to the bone!

                                                            Real boys wear pink!!!

Our baby is growing up and although I'm sad that he is not the little bundle we brought home from the hospital, we are having so much fun with him!!

• He is doing so much better after getting his reflux under control, his thrush almost cleared up and switching to soy. The soy formula has made a world of difference and has really made his tummy feel better. Our happy little guy is back full-time now!!!
• He is always smiling and "talking" to us. He definitely knows who his mommy and daddy are and have special smiles just for us!
• He has rolled over from his back to his tummy one time and has shown no interest of doing it again, instead he is more interested in trying to sit up all the time!
• He goes CRAZY in his bath and it actually looks like he is trying to swim. We let him sit and play in his tub until the water starts getting cold every night!!!
• He is sleeping between 8-10 hours at night!!!! We are loving it and he is so well rested that he is FULL of smiles when we get him up in the morning.
• He loves the Black Eyed Peas song "I Got a Feeling" He cracks up as we make him dance to it. It might be the cutest/funniest thing I have ever seen!

We are SO happy to have our happy boy back. He had been through so much these past 2 months that our hearts were breaking. We are so enjoying every single second with our little guy!!

My first Halloween

Dear Drake

Dear Drake,

I can't believe that almost three months have passed since I first meet you. You surprised us by arriving 2 weeks early and coming out with a FULL head of dark thick hair. From the first second I saw you I felt a love unlike anything else I have ever felt.

You are truly a unique little guy with your crazy hair, wild eyes and infectious smile. You make it very difficult to go out in public without attracting lots of attention. I feel so blessed to be your Mommy, and thank God everyday that He picked me for this very important job.

I love how you love to have a spit rag, taggie, or blanket snuggled by your face when you sleep. I love how go crazy kicking as soon as we lay you on a blanket. I love how you look at everything around you and take it all in with your wide eyes. I love how you know my voice and have special smiles you reserve just for your Momma. I love how you look in your Daddy's arms. I love how the second we put your bib on you know a bottle is coming and you get so excited you can hardly stand it. I love the way you look when you are sleeping. I love watching you go crazy in the bath time and how your favorite part is when we pour water on your face. I love how you roll from your tummy to your back, but only if you get mad.

But most of all I love how you filled up an empty part in my heart, a part that could not be complete until you got here. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it!

Love,

Your Mommy

A Boy and His Dog

From the first day they met it was love! They both found a best friend in each other. There is nothing as sweet as a boy and his dog!

I Have to Brag...

I might just have the cutest baby in the world!!

Lots to Report!

We have had a BUSY and CRAZY few weeks!!

• D has been diagnosed with reflux so we have been trying to figure out what formula works best and getting him used to taking his medicine 2 times a day. It was so sad because a couple weeks ago our happy little guy just disappeared because he was in so much pain. We are happy to report that he is slowly coming back!
• We found out yesterday that he has thrush, so he is taking a different medicine 4 times a day for that. Let's just say that B and I have become very good at giving medicine to a 9 week old!
• On a happier note...D is smiling A LOT and has started to smile in response to our faces and things we do and say. We are really having lots of fun with him
• We try to do tummy time but it never lasts long as he is always rolling over to his back
• He has really been grasping onto things lately, his toys, our fingers, really anything he can get his hands on.
• D is a "talker" he has lots to say. I love hearing his cute little voice!

I could go on forever, but I know everybody really just wants to see the pictures so here are some of the latest!I love my Bumbo! I am the party... just ask Mom and Dad
