Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we ventured to the Pumpkin Patch and had a great morning with the Bornibus Family and Grandma Tereza :)

Oliver didn't really care too much about the location, the sun shine or the pumpkins, but he was really happy to see his friend Shane :)  It is amazing how much the boys love to see each other and I am looking forward to them actually playing together...

We loved the location and all the activities they offered for the kids, but $9 a person for the corn maze is that normal?????

Already anticipating next years pumpkin patch excursion...

MOVIE!!! !

I can't believe it, but WE are going to the movies tonight!!!!!

My first movie after Oliver's birth will be Jackass 3D!  I know a classy choice, but what can you do when you are part of the Johnny Knoxville Generation????

This will not only be my first movie since LO's arrival, but also my first movie in 3D!!!!!

Milestone

This morning I was taking pictures of Oliver wearing his awesome akino and he decided to roll from his tummy onto his back!!!!

I couldn't believe my eyes and rolled him back and he did it again!  Then I called Patrick and he did it a third time and then a fourth time for my Mom...

 Oliver is 2 months and 10 days old today and this was right before he rolled-over 

Not as bad

We survived the first week back to work...  

I think Oliver adjusted a lot better than I have, it is a lot more exhausting than I thought it would be.  Last night I feel asleep with him at 8:30 pm and only woke up when he needed to nurse until 6am... One part of me is happy to be back at work and do my job and another part of me just wants to sleep!!!! Oh and a third part of me just wants to stay home with the little guy...  I guess I should look into creating Donik clones but I don't think that would work out... Just imagine the expenses on three times the amount of clothing LOL 

Big Day Tomorrow!!!!

tomorrow is my first half day back at work... URGHHHHHH

Grandma is here and will take care of him :)  So I know he is in good hands, but do I want to go back?  No! I think I need to start playing the lottery to increase my chances of becoming a millionaire (I take any suggestions for the next lucky numbers) 

I enjoyed my 8 weeks of being a stay at home Mom and unlike my prior believes I actually could see myself doing it full-time!  Crazy, huh?  I never thought I could see fulfillment in being surrounded by drool, dirty diapers and the sleep deprivation  BUT I love it!!!  At the end of the day (or I should better say MORNING) I get rewarded with the biggest smile and it makes it all worth it.  

It is almost time...

.... to go back to work...  :(

I thought I would go stir crazy just being at home, but so far I LOVE it!  It also helps that there are a few new mommies in my circle of friends and it is nice to chat with them about the little ones, day to day life and everything else in between...

On the bright side, my mom is going to be here soon and she will watch Oliver when it is time to go back to work... Thankfully my bosses are also pretty amazing and I will be able to spend less time in the office and work more from home...  Let's see how it will be once I am back at work...

Being a Mommy

Now that I can reflect on the last 4 weeks - I enjoy being Oliver's Mommy :)

We have learned a few things together, we have cried together and we ate together... It is amazing how quickly one adapts to do things with one hand! Like EATING!!!!! Or not eating because you simply forget about it or can't really make anything with one hand...

There were nights I woke up with a baby in my arms and had no recollection where he came from!!!!  Speaking of "the nights" usually he wakes up two to three times...

And why is it so difficult to get yourself and the baby ready by a decent time in the morning???

Here a little status update on Mommy's little guy :)

Just the other day he started lifting his head up and keeping it up for a bit... He also just now started to enjoy Tummy Time :)  The only time he really smiles is either by accident or right before he falls asleep... As far as I can tell he only has one dimple... We will see if his eye color will stay blue (dark blue) but since birth his hair has been getting lighter...  I can't wait for his one-month-well appointment and find out how much he has grown... :)
