Mother's Day

This was my first Mother's Day and I do not think it could have been any better. First because I got to spend it with my amazing family, including my wonderful husband, who I swear is a gift from God. He is amazing as a father and husband. I count my lucky stars every day for him. Also I got to spend it with my newest handsome man, Graham. Rustin got me a singing card which was very cute and I could tell he put some thought into. Graham got me something too. I know you are thinking how can a 6 week old get me something, well he gave me a smile! Yes the first real ( not gas) smile!. He even laughed. It was the greatest Mother's Day gift ever. I'm not sure it will ever be topped. I haven't been able to get him smiling on camera yet ( but its not for lack of trying) but as soon as I do I will post! Promise!!!

Heartsick....

Being a new mom and not really having any close friends that have babies I have decided that I was not fully prepared for the feelings I would have when my baby got sick. Graham has been stopped up the last few days and I assumed it was the weather because I get like that when it rains a bunch, but Monday night and into Tuesday morning it was alot worse you could tell he was struggling. So I called the Dr. she said to go ahead and bring him in with him being so young that anything I might be worried about should be looked at just in case. Again with me being a new mom and I had no idea if I was making a big deal out of nothing or if something was really wrong, needless to say I was a bit emotional yesterday. So we get to the Dr. whom I love by the way, she is so amazing, and she tells us he has an ear infection and a bit of a cold. Okay- I can handle that nothing to serious, gave him some antibiotics and sent us on our way. After running errands and then heading home, he wasjust fussier that ever before. So we decide to go ahead and give him the medicine, the stuff was really thick and he had an issue getting it down. No sooner than I give it to him he throws up and I mean projectile vomit. He looked so wiped out after that. I had never taken care of a kid throwing up and I really had no idea what to do. So I said put him in the bathtub. That seemed to help calm him down and get him a little more relaxed which made me not feel quite as bad. He just wanted to be held which I was completly fine with. You could tell that he did not feel good at all. But thankfully he slept pretty good last night and after I talked to the Dr. again this morning and gave him the medicine again ( this time it stayed down) he is a lot less fussy and is sleeping right now. I'm telling you my heart just aches because I feel like I can't do anything for him. I do not like this feeling at all. I can say now I know what my mother meant when she told me when I was little and sick that I wouldn't know heartache until my own baby was sick. So please if ya think about it say a little prayer for my lil man.

Time is Flying By

I can't believe that it has alreadt been a month since Graham was born, it really blows my mind how fast the time has gone by. It almost makes me want to cry because he is already getting bigger and changing so much. Don't get me wrong I am glad of the 4 hours he is sleeping at a time now and that he is healthy and growing but I can just see him turning 18! LOL I know I know that's a bit extreme but you other Mama's out there you know what I mean. Just look at how big he is getting!

On a lighter note we did have a really great weekend. Went to Covington and saw some family and lots of friends.Rustin's dad got to spend some time with Graham and I really think he is totally in love with his first grandson or as he likes to call him his first "Grahamson" haha It's so cute. The rain didn't seem to hamper any of our plans so that was good. Hopefully the weather will be a little nicer though this week so I can take Lil G out for a walk. I hope everyone is having a great Monday!
