Dinosaur had his first swimming experience today. He always loves his bath so we were hoping he'd love the pool. However, it was a bit chillier than his bath (about 80 degrees). His daddy just plops him in the water without slowly letting him get used to it while he is asleep. He SCREAMED! After that, he settled down a bit, but we only let him stay in for another minute or so because he seemed cold. Pics to come. They are hilarious!

I was standing around talking to some people last night while holding Dinosaur, and looked down to realize that he was sucking on my shirt, right over my bra. He left a nice big wet spot. Nothing like people having to see that....Oh, the joys.

Cheese!

A couple of days ago I got my first real smile from my baby. He has been smiling after eating in his sleep for a long time, but this was his first eyes-open, looking-at-me smile. I can't believe what an adorable boy I've been blessed with; he's such a perfect kid. I love my baby dinosaur and everything about him. :)

I have found a new love...

You know how people tell you that once you have kids you never have a spare minute again? It is not entirely true. I have found time to be productive enough to find pictures of pretty/inspiring/funny/cute things and paste them on an internet pin board. Yes. That is right. You may sit in awe of my productivity level for a moment.

*moment of silence*

Okay; now that we are done with that...my new love is pinterest. Check it out! I love that I can find so many pretty "things" (online pictures) and organize them. Bliss. :)

Oh, my goodness...

Having a newborn is exhausting, both physically and mentally! I had some serious baby blues hit me right after having my baby. I sobbed on the way home from the hospital, wondering what the heck I had been thinking by getting pregnant. I love my husband so much and was immediately scared that having this baby was going to mess up our relationship and our bond. The anxiety would wear off after some sleep, but then would hit me hard all over again. Honestly, I just wanted to sit down and die. I couldn't make myself be excited about ANYTHING. Thank God, it did end, just like everyone promised. It lasted less than a week and I feel back to my normal self! I do have moments of anxiety still, but I feel like this is all doable now. I love my little man with my whole heart and love my husband even more than I did before. He is the world's best daddy and I can't even fathom how much I love this man. I hope you are all doing well! We have been on quite the adventure! My labor was very difficult and pretty long. I was rewarded with a beautiful baby boy who made it all entirely worth it. By the time we left the hospital, he was already jaundiced and we were readmitted the next afternoon. We've been dealing with trying to get his jaundice down ever since--it's been a seriously worrisome situation. I'm so glad my little man is finally on the road to recovery. Thanks for reading!
