Roman is now seven weeks old. It is amazing how much he changes in just a week. Last week was so wonderful. Matt was home for seven days. We just hung out together as a family every day. We really got a routine down. I would get up with Roman and nurse him around 7:30 am and then he goes back to bed and I go to the gym. Matt would wake up around 9:30 and get Roman and hang out watching ESPN until I came home. Then he would make us breakfast while I nurse Roman again. Our specialty last week was french toast! During breakfast we would start a movie and just relax. Matt typically doesn't brush his teeth until late in the afternoon. Talk about chillin!! Later in the day Matt goes to the gym and I hang out with Roman. Usually as soon as Matt gets back from the gym, we go on a walk in the park and then come home and Matt fixes an incredible dinner. Some of his meals last week were lasagna, ceviche, grilled fish, chicken and veggie skewers grilled, and of course homemade cookies. Seriously, he is an amazing cook!! After that we bath Roman and watch more TV and just hang out together. We are still feeding Roman one formula bottle at the late night feeding. Matt gives him this bottle while I pump. Then I go straight to bed, considering that I have to get up in a few hours again to nurse Roman. Matt usually puts Roman to bed. We have such a great system. It's just a lot harder when Matt is gone. Roman and I manage, though. I enjoy my one on one time together. It's hard, though. I really go through a small depression every time that Matt leaves for a trip. It takes a good half day to get over it. I just try to remember how great God is for giving me such a wonderful little family!! I just love my boys!! Including Captain!!

You look great and Roman looks healthy and happy. You can do it and just remember this is the hardest part physically and emotionally.
