Motherhood...

So I keep getting asked how motherhood is... In all honesty here it is...
(Remember this is my blog...)

*I love it!
*I didn't know you could love something so much.
*It's like you found part of your heart that you didn't know was missing.
*Stressful...
*My hormones are acting loopy... I have had two meltdowns since bringing Grayson home. 
*We have a very well tempered, content child, thank you baby Jesus!!
*It is frustrating when she cries and I feel like I don't know what's wrong. I get aggravated with her and then get upset for feeling that way.
*Maternity leave is flying by!
*I will be so sad to leave my sweet girl but it will be nice to get out a little more often and talk to adults.
*I wouldn't trade this for the world!


How could you not love this  face??

What Have We Been Up To?

Well, this past Sunday was Grayson's 2 week birthday!! We went to the doc and you have already surpassed your birth weight by 5 ounces... You go chunky monkey! Your umbilival cord fell off on your birthday and we couldn't find it and started freaking out that Coy might have eaten it. No worries...we found it!! You are getting up between 2-3 times a night and are steady eating every three hours during the day! So what do we do all day??



We do a lot of sleeping, eating, going to the bathroom, and hanging out!!

My father had this picture put on his credit card...PRICELESS...
(No, that is not his credit card number or name!)

Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk...

You might too if you worked so hard to get it (Pumping...). Okay, so I didn't cry but after I had worked so hard pumping I put the milk in the fridge later to open the fridge and see that I hadn't put the grommet on the bottom of the bottle and the milk had leaked out into the fridge. Who puts wholes in the bottom of a bottle anyways? Playtex! I almost cried... I was right there... Ha... the things I care about now!

Grayson's Newborn Photos...

Megahn from M & B Photography took Grayson's photo on her one week birthday! Didn't they turn out fabulous? Love them and this little girl!

Daddy and Grayson...

She already has him wrapped around her finger...

Our First Outing!!

Grayson had her first doctor's appointment today... her three day check up! She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz, 21 inches long, and her head circumference was 13.5 inches. She is growing!!
We then headed to the Mad Platter, a pottery studio, because we received a gift certifictae (thanks Rikki) for them to come to the hospital and have her footprints put on a plate with her measurements. Well...we totally forgot about it, so we just took her to them...
What a great gift!! I can't wait to get it back in a week!!
