What we've been up to lately...

We've have a crazy, fun time lately with Roman. My mom came the first of March and stayed for 27 days!! I miss her a lot! We had a great time with her and she was so helpful in the adjustment of having a new baby! Hopefully she can come back soon!! My brother, Andy and his family came down for a weekend too. We attempted a few pictures with my mom and her grandchildren.



On another note, Matt and I have been getting adjusting to Roman's eating, sleeping schedule. We've had a a few scares with his weight gain. Nobody could have possibly warned me how hard nursing is! It has been such a challenge. I think we've got it now, though. Roman lost even more weight at his 2 week check up, so I have devoted everything I had to get him back up to weight. I feel like all he does is eat!! We went today to the doctor and he is finally above his birth weight!! Yeah!! No more pumping after a few feedings!! We're still giving him one bottle of formula for his last night time feeding. It's helping because he's sleeping for 4-1/2 hours after that feeding. I actually get a little bit of sleep!! Now that we're in more of a routine, I promise to update the blog more often!!


We had Roman's photo shoot a little over a week ago. Jennifer took the pictures and did an amazing job!!! Check out her website: Haute Shot Photography.

Yeah for a update!! I love the pic of your mom and her grandkids..she looks so happy! I have passed the link of roman's pics to my family and some of the zeta girls!! They just loved them, they wanted me to tell you he is adorable and they wish you all the best. I can't wait to see you tomorrow? Do you want anything special from the outside world?

You're doing a great job Ash! As my mother says about motherhood..."It's the hardest job you'll ever love" and "Welcome to the hood!" So true.

I'll call you tomorrow. I'm going to have to bring Chloe with me to league, but come and leave early. C has a work dinner.
