Lately

When I was at Kristina's house last Monday, Becky texted me and told me they were coming to Twin Falls for a visit. As soon as I read that text I started crying because I am so excited to see her! I can't hardly stand to wait three more days to go to Twin. The whole crying thing--I haven't been the same since I got pregnant. I am incredibly emotional no matter what is going on. I hardly ever cried before, and I would especially never cry in front of people, but since becoming a mom I have a whole new perspective on life. I see everything so differently and my priorities have shifted.

Speaking of priorities, Zander is growing! I know its inevitable, but Kristina just had her little girl four days ago so I went to the hospital to visit her. I held her little angel, and again, shed a tear as I stared at her. I realized Zander is no longer a newborn because baby Paige is half the size of Zander and she was almost a pound bigger than he was. I boxed up all his newborn clothes last weekend along with my maternity clothes. I am excited for him to grow and develop and learn new things. He has found his hands this past week and tries to fit his entire fist in his mouth instead of a few fingers or a thumb. He is also holding his head up really well and becoming a little more independent when I try to burp him, he won't lean his head forward in my hand anymore; he has to hold it himself.  He is smiling more and more every day, but the best news, though, is that for the past three days he's been sleeping for seven to eight hours a night! 

Well, Wednesday morning I am setting out to Twin Falls for a few days. Wish me luck because Stephen can't come with me this time so I'm driving the three hours by myself with Zander for our first road trip. I can't say that I'm not nervous, but Zander does really well when we go out....for the most part. Should be fun!
