Six Weeks Old!!

Roman is officially six weeks old today!! This is a huge milestone! He is smiling a lot more!! Yesterday, we had a funny time. I was holding him, getting ready to feed him and he pooped in his pants. What's new! It shot out on the floor and all over his little outfit! I am not a fan of pampers!! Anyways, I go to change it and try not to get it everywhere and he starts peeing, spraying in his face, hair, and all over the pack n play! I am just dying laughing and I swear he starts smiling, laughing with me!! Then I finally wipe him off enough to nurse him and he pees through the new diaper while I'm nursing him all on me!!! Oh the joys of little boys!! I changed officially today to size one diapers. So far, no leaking!!! Yippee!!! Hopefully that was the problem!
Six weeks old also means that I can take him out more and not worry about him getting sick. I went to the mall yesterday and target for the first time with him. It was so great!!! Today, I met Kristin and Ariele for lunch. Roman did great!! I love not being housebound anymore!! We don't do good when mommy has cabin fever!!

Finally, six weeks means I can really start exercising!!! We have been going on walks almost every day since we came home from the hospital. Matt, Roman, Captain, and I love them. I'm just so excited to start running again. Yesterday was the first time that I ran on the treadmill since I was 20 weeks pregnant. It was great!! I ran one mile. Also, I starting lifting weights again. I hate feeling "soft". It feels good to be more active. I've lost 22 lbs of the 33 lbs that I gained through pregnancy. Just a little over 10 more to go. I just want to fit back into my pre-pregnancy pants. None of them fit yet because my hips have gotten wider. That would be horrible if I have to buy all new pants!! Horrible for the budget!!! Hopefully in time!

Here are some latest pics of Roman...

Well, I Pampers didn't work for us either, or regular Huggies. I switched to Huggies Supreme and haven't looked back! I've only had a leak when the diaper was wedged out of place or so big it was on his back. SO I definately recommend them. I'm glad you're able to get out now....I'm not good with Cabin Fever either. Cute pictures! And yes boys are much messier that way!

I have to echo Leigh on the Huggies Supreme. There is something about Pampers that just didn't fit "right" with JK. The Huggies Snug and Dry are cheaper than the Supreme (actually you just get more for the same price), fit just as well, but aren't as absorbent. So I send those to daycare so they can deal with it. Ha! But at home, we solely use Huggies Supreme and haven't had any blow-out issues since JK was about Roman's age.

Glad you can get out and about. Cabin fever about did me in on maternity leave. Uggs.

I had so much fun!! I can't wait for our next lunch. I love that little guy, he is so cute. The joys of a little boy!! I am still laughing at how chill he was, no matter how many times we tried to get the car seat in the shopping cart..he one eyed both of us! Can't wait for a pic in his new outfit.
XOXXO

Hey Ashley! I know you don't have a clue who I am. I went to high school with Matt (BU too) and my sister is Ashley Watkins Hall. I've heard about you but never met. Just found your blog by accident and loved reading about your sweet family! Tell Matt I said hello! I'll be keeping up with you. Sounds like you're a great mommy! Hang in there. Boys are the best!
