It's been so amazing getting to know this little guy over the past month. He's my little eating, farting, pooping machine! All of these things he does quite frequently and the last 2 are quite comical at times. My little man has acid reflux. REALLY?! Doesn't surprise me really. I had it CONSTANTLY throughout my pregnancy AND Kyle gets it often. I have to give him xantac with 2 feeding a day. It seems to be helping with the spit up & hiccups. Other than that, his hernia is doing REALLY well. Doctor said it is almost healed which is really good and his broken colar bone wasnt even mentioned. BONUS!

He started the month eating every 2.5 hrs and has now has moved to 3 hrs and if I'm lucky sometimes 3.5-4 hrs. He loves to be held and cuddled {which I love} and he is definitely a momma's boy. He is such a handsome, sweet little boy, when he smiles I melt. He is sleeping with me. I know, I know, NOT good but I just can't stnad not sleeping with him. He is just so loveable and the noises he makes, UGH. It's hard not to.
I get told he looks just like Kyle moreso than me, {Sad face}. We haven't compared his and Kyle's baby pictures but im sure he would like like an exact copy if compared.
I look forward to watching his personality grow and develop. He is truly a joy so far!

DIY Newborn Shadow Box

Image
  Look what I made! It's a shadowbox filled with Luca's hospital stuff including the outfit he wore home, his first hat, the hospital bracelet, and his birth announcement, ambilical cord { I sealed the cord in plastic and put it in the diaper. Not everyone would want to see it, but I wanted to keep it somehow without losing it.  I love how it turned out! I totally jacked this idea from Pinterest {of course}. But I had to add my own twist to this project, and now I think my box is far superior to the ones I saw online {I might be a tad bias though}. SO you wanna know how I did it? Supplies: - Shadow Box - All your baby Items {i.e. outfilt, diapers, bith announcements, scrapbook supplies, scissors, baby bracelets, hats} - Glue gun - 1 yard of fabric {any color that suits your needs} - scrapbooking embelishments First let me just say that this project was super easy. And cheap, too! I waited till I saw a sale at our local craft store {P...

He is here!!! :)

I was 30 years old when my boyfriend of 7 years, Kyle, and I found out we were expecting a baby! We were really excited to have a little person that will have a little bit of both of us. I hadn't been experiencing morning sickness,but smells were REALLY bothering me. I wasn't the type to have a "normal" period so we didn't know something was up. After a couple weeks of experiencing the smell sickness I figured, lets try a test...POSITIVE!!! It was a very nerve racking day for us! I had a very normal pregnancy with the occasional aches and pains here and there. Once I reached 39 weeks along, I was absolutely ready to have this little guy. I mean I hadn't gotten huge but very uncomfortable!! I had gained over 30 pounds overall!!  Not many cravings... just the routine need to wake up at 2, 3, and 4 am to use the bathroom. I didn't have many stretch marks, well what weren't there already. The whole time I had been working. Wednesday Aug...

38 Weeks & Our 1 of a kind nursery!!!

This week has been a little crazy! I lost my mucus plug on Wednedsy around 7:30 am. Boy did that make me nervous. I ran to my mom's (she lives behind me). I was laughing and scared at the same time. Nerves I guess. All the stories I heard, people USUALLY deliver within a couple days. Its now day 4 and NOTHING. Im sure it is soon but, COMMON little guy lol! WE ARE READY! We also had a friend come in and paint the nursery wall. HOLY CRAP was that the BEST descision EVER. I have been friends with Bob for about 17 years, high school days. He started off with "street art" but has since "grown up" to more mature art, abstract art. His work is BEAUTIFUL. I would NEVER change my mind on having him do ANYHTING someone needs an artist for. I CANNOT thank him enough for his work!!! If anyone needs some work done, email him here BOBS EMAIL . HERE ARE THE PICTURES!!!    How far along? 38 weeks, Day 5!!! Total weight gain...
