~Quickie on a Tuesday Afternoon~

Hmm, lets see... Its been a few days since my last entry... So what do I have to catch you all up on in the few quiet minutes I have to do this one :)

Well, lets see... Sunday we had a visit with my brother and his girlfriend.  They haven't seen Mr. Zachary since he was born, due to the fact that they both attend college at UC Davis and they don't always have the free time to come down and visit.  So, my brother was home for the weekend because he had a hockey tourney in Southern Cali... And they decided to stop by Sunday evening for a visit.  It is always great to see my brother... Miss Rowan just loves her Uncle Boo.  And its great to see him interacting with Zachary.  I just laugh, because he is so timid and doesn't want to hurt him... lol.  Oh well.  He'll learn to hold a baby without thinking he'll hurt him... Someday.

Monday was a pretty quiet day.  We didn't do much.  Oh.  We did get our taxes done.  Thankfully, we are getting money back, but it isn't exactly what we were expecting to get.  Derek seriously works too much :)  Haha... Luckily, next year, we'll be able to claim two children instead of just one too...

Rowan had gymnastics last night.  I was able to take her... Yep.  Daddy stayed home with Zach and I was able to drive for the first time in 2 weeks.  Let me tell you, it was weird getting behind the wheel again... haha.  2 weeks isn't even that long, but when you seriously haven't driven a mile in that period, it makes you think you almost forgot how to drive!!

Rowan had a great time at gym.  She missed going... And of course, because she didn't go last week, she missed the skills check off again!  I swear, my child will never advance in her class because she never makes it to that... I'm such an awful mom ;)

I had my 2 week check up this morning.  All is well... I was a little disappointed in the amount of weight that I've lost.  I've only lost 20lbs when after 2 weeks of having Rowan, I had lost 35lbs.  But I guess because I didn't gain as much this time around, I suppose only loosing 20lbs is a good thing.  But I've been declared healthy and I plan on starting Weight Watchers next Tuesday... I've decided that I have a goal weight (not sharing!!) and to get there I have to loose another 46lbs!!  Goodness... That is a small child right there... Argh.  Why is loosing weight so much harder than gaining it???

Zachary is doing really well.  Last night, he was up just 3 times... At his 1am feeding, he ate so much that he ended up spitting up in his sleep.  I hate it when little ones do that.  So, I woke up to him laying in a "puddle" of spit up and then fed him again... The only bad thing was that I couldn't get him to get back to sleep.  Then he was crying, and crying, and crying... So, eventually, he and I went out to the front room and feel asleep together on the couch.  I know, I know... Not the best thing, but he was on my chest and I had a good strong grip on him ;)

Why is it that babies just love to sleep on your chest too?  I know it has to do with the heart beat and just being close to someone... But it makes it sooo difficult to put them down... lol.  Actually, putting a baby down is hard enough... But knowing they love to lay next to you makes it even harder!!

I know I've been promising pictures of our Little Man... Well, just let me tell you something... I was promised a storm door that is still not up... So, you'll just have to keep waiting for them pictures :D  lol.  Soon, I promise though...

Well, I need to go wake the kiddo up because its been about 4.5 hours since the last time he ate and I'm about ready to pop... I hope you all have a wonderful week...
