iPhone pics

This is what we've been up to lately according to my iPhone pics.

Identical Cousins

Holding on tight!

So alert and getting better at keeping a pacifier in his mouth.

Silly faces!  (even though it's blurry, you can see both dimples in this one!)

Mommy's little Space Cadet

Dear God, Please let us all sleep tonight.  Amen.

Second attempt at the Moby Wrap.

Wave your hands in the air!

Chillin'

Sisters with our sons

Cheers!

My first post-baby margarita! It's been nine months to the date since I've had one.

I remember the date because my sister in law graduated from PA School on May 14th (and it was also my brother in law's birthday) so we celebrated that day then the next day I found out I was pregnant.

Cheers and Happy Valentine's Day!

Argan Oil

What? A non-baby related blog post? :)

Just had to blog about my favorite Christmas gift - Josie Maran Argan Oil.

I lucked out and my pregnancy hormones actually made my skin clearer than normal, but this product made it even better! It sounds weird to be putting 100% oil on your face, but it's very moisturizing and has made my skin so soft.

I just use one dropper of oil on my face every night and wash like normal (which for me is Cetaphil twice a day.)

I even used it on my split ends a couple weeks ago when I was waiting to get my hair cut. It's kind of like a beauty cure-all!

So if you're looking for something new to try for your skin, I highly recommend it!

"42 weeks"

Also known as 10 days old.

Updated: Things I Miss

One week after delivery and I'm already making a good dent in my list from 33 weeks!

• sleeping on my stomach - done! Although it's not that great since I'm nursing.

• margaritas - not yet but I really haven't missed alcohol that much so I'm still good. (and maybe my lemonade/limeade craving satisfied my Rita craving!)

• raw tuna - yes!!! I had a spicy tuna roll on Wednesday. It was great!

• seeing my ankle bones - oh yeah! Today when I was putting my shoes on to walk the dogs (and get some fresh air), I yelled to Chris that I can see my ankles again! Not just my ankles, but my feet look normal again. I guess I'll start from the bottom up. :)

• speaking of feet... It'll be nice to not feel water sloshing around my feet when I walk.  I was still pretty swollen when we got home from the hospital and even panicked a little our first night home. Definitely not feeling this sensation anymore.

• not snoring - nope! No more snoring! Except I may start again when I'm in a deep sleeping between feedings.

• not being out of breath when I get dressed in the morning - Still a little short of breath when out walking, but not doing regular stuff around the house. Thank goodness.

One Week Old

Celebrating my one week birthday by watching my first Super Bowl!

Overheard at the pediatrician's office

While taking Grant's measurements...

Nurse: How long was he in the hospital?

Sleep deprived new mom: 2 nights

New dad: 20.5 inches

Duh! In my defense, it was a legitimate question because they already asked us how long we stayed at the hospital!

Grant had a great first appointment today. His weight is picking back up since discharge and everything else continues to look great!

New mom/mom to be tip - I'm loving the "Total Baby" iPhone app. I use it up keep track of wet/dirty diapers, nursing sessions and MD appointments. You can enter in their stats to see the CDC and WHO percentiles and plot your own growth charts. I love technology!
