Nicolas is 8 weeks old!

I can't even believe how fast he is growing!! Everyone told us that he would grow so fast and to cherish the moments, but I never in my wildest dreams imagined that he would be growing so fast....but maybe that's just him because he eats so much! He'd eat all day if he could! Some days I wish I could hook him right up to the Similac bottle so I could have my hands free! haha

We weighed him the other day and he was like 12 lbs already! I mean does anyone but me think this is crazy?! He's hefty...and to top that off whenever I take him places in his carrier it's like 22 lbs! Talk about getting a free workout!

He is already smiling and doing things that normal babies usually don't do according to my mother-in-law. He laughs and giggles at nothing. It's amazing to see him change a little each day. I look forward to the times when he starts crawling and we can chase him around the house!

1st Fathers Day

Gilbert had his first Fathers day! It was so exciting, I gave him one of those photo books you make on line. Kinda pathetic considering I am a scrapbooker, but who had time to create a whole scrapbook in time for Fathers day?! Anyway, he loves the book, I also gave him an iPod Nano because he wanted one, he was just jealous of mine.

Anyway, we went to my parents house to see my dad, and then we went to Tampa to visit his family and grandparents. It was nice to see everyone, and it was Peanuts first "semi-road trip" He was sleeping most of the ride and then he woke up just to look around. I had to ride in back with him in case he dropped his paci. I hate those damn things, but if it soothes him who am I to take away his comfort?! We got back around 10ish and he went right to sleep after he pigged down some food!!

All in all, Gilbert had a great first Fathers day with his new son!

6 week check-up

Dr. White who delivered Nicolas

Today I had my 6 week check up with Dr. White, and she said that my incision looks great, no complications and I can start to work out again. I even got the all clear to swim! I am so excited because it's been so hot and I have been wanting to swim forever, and it seems like when you can't do something you want to do it even more!! The pool has been at almost 80 this year which it's never been in the past couple of years. So finally I can go swimming I am so excited that we are cooking out tonight and swimming!

So, it appears that I am healing really good, and I am starting to feel a little better each day. Still have a little of the Postpartum depression, but that is getting better each day too. I completely understand where Brooke Shields was coming from now! It sucks, because really you have this wonderful little baby in your arms looking up at you and just starting as if they love you more than anyone else in the world, and on the other hand, you feel sad and want to cry. But I'm sure when I start exercising again, it will all go away!
