One more week...

One more week until Greyson is 6 weeks old.

Which means it's one more week until I no longer have an excuse to not work out. Right now I weigh more than I did after either of the girls. I for some reason didn't lose as much weight as I had expected to. I am stuck at 126, and normally at this point I am at 121. Doesn't sound like a huge difference, but it is. That's 5 more pounds I have to work off so instead of having 15 to lose I have 20 (yikes!), and if you know me you know I am not one to put a whole ton of effort into working out, mostly because I never really had to (thank you Mom for your wonderful genes!).

Since this was my last time ever being pregnant, I am pumped to get back to my pre-pregnancy body (well as close as I can to it) because I WILL NEVER HAVE TO RUIN MY BODY AGAIN BY BEING PREGNANT!!! I know I shouldn't be so excited about that fact, but I am. I can't tell you how frustrating it was to for once in my life put effort into getting fit and thin again, to then go right back to being pregnant and gaining it all right back.

So yep. One more week of being lazy and then it's time to get this big ol' bottom of mine in shape! :)

Small Changes!

I know, I know I just posted yesterday about the house but I went by today on the way home from Greyson's weight check and low and behold there were some small changes!!

Dishwashers in!

Oven and Microwave

Recessed lighting is installed!

Cabinets are in the bathrooms (didn't take pics of them all).

Still missing the vanity/drawer in the middle.

Some fixtures have gone in!

House Update!!! (Additional Pics)

Desk/ Mail Center! (The guy is putting the handles on!!)

Guest Bathroom near playroom!

Obsessed with the hood! They were just starting to put all the molding on!

Detail, finally!!

Empty area is for the oven and microwave (has the look of a double oven!)

Stacked Drawers, the decorative legs weren't in stock so they had to order them will be on either side of the drawers!

Bumped and staggered over cook top and fridge!

European style shower (less glass to clean)!

Hood!

House Update!!!

The pictures don't do these cabinets justice, I am so in love! There is now tile in the bathrooms, garage door is in, and the details are put on the outside tower (no stone yet though). Here are some pics of the kitchen, will update with more once the girls go to bed!

Maturing Addi.

This past week I really feel like Addi has matured a bit.

Not a lot, but a bit.

She is quite behind in the speech department due to her ear and cleft issues. I was worried that she was having a hard time even understanding us. She is a VERY busy baby, so getting her to sit still and listen is quite difficult. She know some signs so that has really helped her not get too frustrated about not being able to talk to us. Anyways lately she has really started to listen a lot better. Things just seemed to click a little better than they have before. She still isn't talking much more but she is at least reacting accordingly to what we say.

Four Weeks Old.

How is it possible that Greyson is already four weeks old, and a month old on Saturday? I just can't believe it. This first month as been amazing, exhausting, scary, and just plain wonderful. Greyson is beyond sweet, and the girls just adore him. It is awesome to see all my babies together. Addi is so interested in Greyson and goes up and pets him so sweetly, sometimes not so sweetly, but mostly sweetly hahaha! Aubrey asks to hold him, hug him, kiss him, and change his diaper. If he cries she tries to calm him, she will tell him it's ok and that Mama is going to feed him soon, she then informs me that he is hungry and needs milk. It is beyond adorable.

Greyson is such an awesome baby. I really could not ask for a sweeter more laid back baby. He is still doing great with eating and sleeping. Most the time he eats every four hours, and at night he goes 5-6 hours so we are only waking up once or twice. He has had one night of cluster feeding, but so far nothing really too bad. He has been having a good amount of awake time, he is just content looking around, snuggling, or just hanging out in his rock and play. What I love more than anything is if he ever is upset and crying (which so far has been rare), as soon as I pick him up and give him kisses he is completely content. He reminds me so much of how Addi was as a newborn, I get a little nervous that he is going to be a crazy little spitfire like Addi when he becomes a toddler. I am just not sure I will be able to handle two!

I feel like time goes by so much faster with each child. I am trying to just soak it all up since this is the last newborn stage I will ever be going through. If you had told me two and a half years ago (when Aubrey was a newborn) that I would be treasuring the newborn stage, I probably would of laughed deliriously until I cried. I seriously was a mess of a Mom, I cried over everything, I never got sleep, I was a hot mess of emotions ALL the time. Oh, how times change...
