1 Month Stats

Well our sweet baby boy turned 1 month on Saturday, yea I know I am a few days late. We went to the doctor a week ago wednesday for our check-up and here are Mr. Man's stats

Height: 21.5 inches
Weight: 10 lbs 3 oz

I can't believe he is already so big! And yes he did gain 2 lbs. 9 oz in 2 weeks, he is a good eater :)

We also got some medicine for his reflux, a nap nanny for him to sleep in (which he loves!) and mommy is now on a dairy free diet, along with no spicy foods or foods high in acidity. All of these things seem to be working because our reflux has decreased!

I also took Hudson out by myself 2 days ago and then again yesterday. On Tuesday I ventured out to wal-mart, and well lets just say I was a little frazzled by the end. He started screaming because he got hungry and I ended up BF in the subway in Wal-Mart, thank goodness for nursing covers. I sat in the very back booth with my back to everyone and let him fill his little tummy. After about 20 minutes I thought okay if I go and check out he will be full enough for us to get home and then eat some more. Well I got in line behind this sweet young couple, they were both 18 and had been married about 3 weeks. Only thing was is that she was a couponer. So needless to say we were in line a very very long time and before the checker was even done scanning our cart my precious lamb was crying again, and cried the whole way home. This made for one very frazzled mommy. I ended up just taking the cold stuff out of the car and putting bags and all into the fridge. Oh and if you wondered the coupon girl's bill went from $292 to $99!! Amazing right?!? CJ asked if I got her number and if we were going to be friends. :) I love him.

I will upload a picture as soon as I get them uploaded onto the computer. About to go get my sweet baby boy out of his swing and love on him. Hope you all have a very blessed day.

Reality Check

Okay so I have had a reality check after my last post. That night I think I got about 3 hrs. sleep total and needless to say yesterday I did not run or do any physical activity, besides take care of my #1 priority. And last night after dinner and catching up on my secret addiction, Secret Life of the American Teenager, I went to bed. And this was done before 9 o'clock. But you know what, I am not upset and don't see it as a failure, because our sweet baby is my #1 priority.

But to finish out from 2 days ago here is what I ate
Bowl of Honey bunches of oat
granola bar
peanut butter and jelly sandwich
another apple

Yesterday
coffee
granola bar
6 in. chicken bacon ranch subway sandwich
single serving bag of baked sour cream and onion chips
bowl of strawberries, a mango, and 1/4 cup grapes
grilled chicken salad with avocado, tomato, shredded cheese, grilled chicken, and light ranch
fiber one bar with peanut butter spread on top
3 chocolate quaker rice cakes

Today
I ran this morning, after a good nights sleep
coffee
grilled chicken salad, just like last nights except no shredded cheese
apple
fiber one bar with peanut butter on top
grilled chicken, 1 breast
salad with light ranch and no cheese
1/2 cup broccoli
1 chocolate rice cake

Tomorrow we go for our 1 month check up! I know that this precious lamb asleep on my chest is going to weigh at least 8 1/2 pounds. I am anxious to see what she says about our reflux. He has not had any big episodes like our 911 experience, PTL, but just a few small little gagging episodes that he has been able to clear himself.

And of course here is what everyone really wants
