8 weeks

The last two weeks since my post have absolutely flown by! So much to catch up on. First, I turned 30!! How crazy is that? It started with breakfast in bed (sweet hubby...check). Justin ran out and got us bagels (yummy food...check). Then Jack and I cuddled and talked while watching the Kardashians (cute baby and smut TV...check) Mom, Dad, and Katie came down to visit and we had a wonderful day. We went to Kickin' Chicken (cheese fries...check).

Then Mom and Dad stayed with Jack while the rest of us ran to Lowes to make a few returns and buy myself a rug (home improvements...check). We enjoyed yummy birthday cake (chocolate...check). Then I ended my evening snuggling with Jack, watching my Ina Garten and Rehab Addict on HGTV (more cute baby and TV...check) and eating my fake chicken nuggets and those delicious chips and sour cream I just love (junk food...check). All in all, I'd say it was the perfect day and incorporated all of my favorite things! This was mom the entire time at lunch. She didn't even eat she just wanted to snuggle Jack. :)

I'm looking forward to this new decade. My twenties were amazing...finishing college, nursing school, getting my masters degree and my first jobs as an RN and NP. Marrying the love of my life and giving birth to the greatest blessing I will ever know. I hope my thirties holds just as many precious moments...first steps, first words, a new home together, five and ten year anniversaries, and hopefully, more babies :)

The picture below was taken on my birthday and one of the rare pictures taken of me with Jack, as I'm usually the one holding the camera ;) Daddy hadn't gotten to hold Jack all day so he got in his much needed snuggle time as well. 

In other news (more important news), Jack turned 8 weeks! Holy smokes my boy is growing up. So you know what that means...two month shots :( We went to the pediatrician today and he did so great! So so great! He was just so precious laying on the table looking around and then he got the first stick and let out a little cry. If that had been the only one, I don't think he would have cried at all but he got two more which really sealed the deal. Poor baby. I thought I was going to cry right along with him but thankfully Aunt Britt had come down to see us and put him in a nice swaddle and held him while he got his shots. Mommy chickened out. But I did get to comfort him immediately thereafter with kisses and a bottle. He only cried a total of 30 or 45 seconds. He was a trooper and forgot all about it.

Then when we got home from dropping Britt off at the airport, we snuggled in mommy's bed and fell asleep for 4 hours! I have to say it was the highlight of my week and such a guilty pleasure since I know he should be in his bed but he is just the best snuggler. He'll even turn his face to touch mine in some way (his cheek will press against my nose or his forehead against my chin). And we'll just snooze the afternoon away. Neither one of us budged until 5:30 when we got up to see where daddy was. Justin was a little late getting home today so he missed all Jack's talking and cooing and playing on his playmat. Good thing I caught it on camera :) I'll try to post it later.

Here are a few sleepy baby pictures. I love how big his cheeks are now...built it pillows, Justin calls them :)

 Love those sweet feet and that cute hiney!! (sp?)
