You know your a mother when...

Hanging with Grammy Suzie







Hanging out with our friends the Nelsons in their indoor swing

Mittons so that Cornin doesn't scratch his face

Tummy Time

Bastow family reunion in Twin Falls with Grandma Aleen

You know you've become a mother when you ask questions like.....

Did I shower today or yesterday?
Did I brush my teeth this morning... when was morning?
What day of the week/month is it?
What the...it's already 5:00?
Has my baby really been wearing his outfit backwards all day?
How on earth do I always want to put the diaper on backwards?
Is that pee, poo or barf all over me?


Jeff and I are becoming masters in skills we didn't know we had. For example:
-being pretty much asleep and still being able to bounce the bouncer with one foot (honestly if
they named it a bouncer shouldn't it bounce on it's own)
-holding him in a football hold that makes him stop crying no matter what the issue
-sleeping on a moments notice it the baby has fallen asleep
-fattening up our baby (already 11 lbs at 5 weeks 80th percentile, and can hold his head up)





I am still trying to decide if my constant dizziness is from low bloods sugar from nursing, sleep deprivation or some other issue... Baby is starting to sleep a 5 hour stretch however Jeff wakes me up usually once in the night trying to search my covers for the baby:)
While I felt that the fist month was pretty brutal it is wonderful being a mommy here's to many more months!

Shelly, I'm so glad that you're loving being a MOM. It just gets better (I'm assuming it gets worse too!) We're so lucky to have these little guys in our lives. Thank you for sharing him with us- I know I can always count on you to keep up your blog!
