What's up Wednesday

What We're Eating This Week.......

Since family has gone home, we are back on a regular (meaning not eating out or as much food as when company is around) eating schedule. Ordered my groceries online this morning and will be picking them up tonight. If you haven't tried online grocery shopping, it's awesome and a game changer for anyone (especially new mamas)! I know that Walmart and Harris Teeter do online ordering and I'm sure there are others that do it as well. These recipes are all on my Pinterest board labeled "Food". Obviously cooking in my crock pot will be where it's at this week! Ha!

              

What I'm Reminiscing About.....

I've been thinking about how crazy it was that just two months ago I was still pregnant with sweet Henry. My cousin Thais is pregnant with a baby girl and watching her and hearing her plan things for the nursery, etc. just took me right back to when I was doing the same. Time really does fly. Animation below is from when we announced that we were pregnant! 

What I'm Loving....

I have to say I'm loving this beautiful Carolina weather! 70's pretty much all of February has made for some beautiful days for taking walks. This weekend we even opened the boat and Henry got to have his first boat ride! Do I think we are done with winter? NOPE. I have a feeling we will get the rogue March snowstorm. It may not be big or last long but I think we'll get one last winter hurrah. 

We sure love Aunt Holly and Aunt Thais!

                                                           "Captain, my Captain!"

                                        Happy Henry. He promptly fell asleep. 

What We've Been Up To....

We've been blessed to have my aunt, uncle and cousin visit us this weekend. They loved on Henry and we enjoyed talking, shopping, boating and eating lots of good food. I swear I gained at least 5 pounds over the weekend. Another funny moment was my father changed a diaper for the first time in a LOONNNGG time. I had to capture it on camera. Henry loved Gramps changing him and just cooed and smiled the whole time. This is a miracle because usually he writhes around and pitches a fit about being changed. Gramps should consider himself lucky! ha! 

What I'm Dreading.....

Henry has his two month doctor's appointment tomorrow and he's going to get his first shots. Dreading how upset that will most likely make him. Temporary pain but still hard on a mama's heart! Good thing his daddy is coming with us. 

"What did you say about shots, Mama?"

What I'm Working On.....

Nothing much really. Need to work on cleaning up my garden beds for spring flowers and put up some spring decor since I finally took down my Christmas! 

What I'm Excited About...

I'm excited just dreaming about summer. I can't wait to have a 6 month old who I can take to the pool and celebrate so many fun summer things with. Fourth of July, trips to MI, family weddings! I can't wait. Dinners outside, trips to the park and boat rides are a few more of the things I can't wait for. 

What I'm Watching/Reading.....

Unfortunately haven't read anything much other than Babywise and baby articles that I've found on Pinterest. I have been able to watch quite a few things on tv. Here's a few! 

(Cause who isn't watching this?!?!)

(I find it funny that Savannah is on maternity leave too!)

(This show just makes me laugh. Clever writers.)

What I'm Listening To....

I've been listening a lot to the Praise Baby Pandora station and whatever Josh has been playing as we drive in the car. Nothing super special to share. 

What I'm Wearing.....

I have my first post-pregnancy Stitchfix arriving at the end of the month. Not sure I'll be keeping much but I'll be blogging about it for sure. Here were some of the outfits I hope my stylist viewed. Comfy and easy is the name of the game right now. Things that can be easily lifted up or unbuttoned for nursing are must haves too. 

Cute stuff that Henry has been wearing? Cause kids fashion is exciting too. 

Ordered this cute bubble for Henry to wear on Easter! 

Gap rompers. Can't wait for summer! 

The Cat and Jack brand at Target is super cute. Boys gear is equally cute as the girls! 

What I'm Doing This Weekend....

We will be spending the weekend with our youth. Time will be spent playing some fun games and having great spiritual discussions. Our group is so awesome, we enjoy leading them so much. 

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month.....

Just enjoying time with my sweet fella before going back to work the last week of the month. Going to treasure these last 4 weeks because I know they will fly by. Excited to see my school family again but know it will be very bittersweet. Ending the post with some pictures from this past week. 

                    I was allowed to take one good picture of him in his Sunday duds before he got fed up!

Baby's first Notre Dame gear! (Which he promptly pooped on. Ha. Made this MI State mama proud.)

Milk coma. His expressions just kill me. 

Sleeping in his bouncer while we get ready in the morning.

We call this his old man look. He gets all serious and the forehead wrinkles come out. It doesn't help that he looks a bit bald on top too. Poor kid. 

Some Valentine's love from Daddy.
