I had all sorts of intentions of blogging "on time" but, as life would have it, I picked up my laptop to start uploading my pictures and wouldn't you know that it had gotten something spilled on it.... and it wasn't even kinda sorta trying to come on. It was completely fried!
I panicked.
I had just uploaded Weston's birth pictures aaaaand there was about 3 years worth of pictures that I hadn't backed up.
Oops.
.... and long story short, when I plugged in my external hard drive (loaded with pictures from the past 8 years) it was also fried. If you've ever had this sort of issue and taken your stuff to Best Buy, you are aware that these things are up in the thou$$$$$ands to retrieve your information. Lucky for me, as I sat there in Best Buy, teary eyed (post partum is killer, am I right???) I had a holy crap ah-ha moment that saved my ever lovin' life (and budget.) I have a brother who speaks computer and he was able to get ALL of my pictures for me.
It was a good day.
Just as quickly as he was here, he turned 1 month old. There's not a whole lot that happens in that one month other than eating, sleeping, and pooping.., and mama adjusting to the insane life of a newborn. At his 1 month check up, he was 11 lbs 5 ozs... and measuring in the 90th% for height. It was good to know that the hours of sitting in the recliner were paying off.
Lets just talk about the first month with pictures, shall we??
These 3. They've been absolute life savers for me.
Ohhh melt me.
This boy has quite possibly been fishing more than any other 1 month old. He loves to be outside, and that is a good thing being born into this family.
Happy mama.
...........seriously tho.
my 4
He loves his daddy more than any other human being on this earth..
Just bein real, I've had the worst PPD with him. The first month was really just crappy for me in that regard and I tried to get out of the house as much as I could.
(without having to be socially acceptable. ;)
.... even if it meant taking my bigs on a lawn mower ride. ;)
My goodmornings.
So in love.
Normalcy eventually crept in to my life. Weston has just completely fit right in to our family. He goes with the flow... I'm so glad that he is an easy going baby.
Trip to Lowes.
This was a monumental moment for me. I was always worried about becoming a hermit and being too afraid to go out of the house for fear of not having a place to feed Weston. I am all for breastfeeding openly in public, more power to those mamas, but for me personally that's just not something I am comfortable with. We live 30 minutes from town, so there is never a 'let me run here real quick in between feedings' time that we are away from the house. When we are gone, we are away for hours. All this to say, while Weston was in the carrier, I was able to feed him (modestly) while walking through Walmart. It was such a proud moment I had to take a selfie in the bathroom. HA!
One month down, many more to go!
