Poor little Ben hasn't been feeling well. He's been coughing and is congested and a little out of sorts. I took him in to the doctor to have them check on him just in case, and luckily it's nothing worse than a bad cold. A lot of the kids in his daycare class have been sick... so the nurse said to bring him in. The little guy weighs 10 lbs 6 oz now, and is 22 inches! He's getting so big. He's too tall for all of his newborn clothes. He has his 2 month check up on Monday, so we'll see how he's doing then. Sad for him he has to get all his nasty shots. Daddy is taking him though and then he gets to hang with his Aunt DJ for the rest of the day.
It's stressful being a mommy. Not in a bad way, but wow there are so many emotions and feelings and worries that suddenly arise when you become a parent. I say it's stressful because all I want to do it to take care of him and I feel like I really can't while I'm working. I don't really have a choice but TO work for now... and I feel frustrated that I'm not in the swing of things yet even though I shouldn't be because it's only been a week and a half. I'm feeling the pressure right now because I don't feel well either (he and I are sharing this cold with each other) and it's taking A LOT of energy to be a mommy, wife, and full time employee. Again, I'm not complaining- I LOVE being a mommy and I have the best husband in the world, I'm just tired. :)He let me rest tonight though, in fact MADE me rest. I wasn't allowed to touch the computer or watch TV, I was sent to my bed! I got a little rest and I'm feeling like I could sleep for the rest of the night!
What else is new? We got Ben's birth announcements in the mail from tinyprints.com and now just need to send them out. They turned out REALLY nice! I love them! Um... we're planning a day at Six Flags here in Atlanta, that should be fun. I'm a little reluctant to ride roller coasters now that I'm a mom. Is that silly of me?
Okay... well, I'm even boring myself with this blog- so I'll go. I'm trying out putting my blog into a book at blurb.com. My friend Jessica did it with hers and it's really cool! I want one!
I wanted to show how much he's changed since he was born. I love that he's making goofy faces in both pictures!
okay bye.

Oh Heather-Welcome to the life of a working Momma! I'm pretty sure all of us struggle with it. It does get better in someways but then you end up feeling guilty that it feels easier. I totally understand. Hope Ben feels better and that things ease up for you....multi-task, multi-task, multi-task. You can never balance work and kids and family you just Juggle and hope one doesn't fall:)
Heather we love BLURB.com - I used to make Sydney's baby book and it turned out great. We are planning on an annual blog book ourselves using them. Do it - we love it!
