Oh what funny faces he makes









Boston is now a little over 3 weeks old and he has changed so much from when we brought him home! He is growing like crazy! I love to just sit and watch him sleep, he makes the funniest faces. I am so ready to get out of the house! I did take him with me to get my hair done last Friday and he did great! Slept the whole time, but I did have to pull over on the way home to feed him. This breastfeeding thing really ties me down, but I am going to keep at it. We are going to try the bottle in a couple of weeks so that will help.
I thought I was going to be able to take him and show him off to my office, but we haven't had a very good couple of nights. I absolutely dread going to be each night. He has been very fussy and gassy and nothing seems to make it better so there has not been any sleeping for us at the Burton house. He sleeps like a champ during the day, nothing can wake him! But at night he wakes up all the time! I hope he gets his days and nights straight soon before I lose my mind!
On another note, I am so glad it is getting warmer! That helps my mood tremendously. You can definitely say I have had a case of the baby blues. Just being at home all day makes me feel so lazy even though I am constantly doing things around the house or for Boston. I have started tanning again and it has helped me feel better for sure. I look forward to taking him out in the stroller and start exercising again! I still have about 12 pounds to loose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and I am ready to start fitting into my clothes again and ready to go shopping! I plan on getting back on weight watchers soon and hopefully will lose a little more weight on top of the 12lbs.

He is adorable!!!
I feel ya about wanting to lose baby weight and fit back into my normal clothes.. I have started exercising and tanning too and it does make you feel better. I've thought about doing weight watchers but ive never had to diet and I don't know if I would be good at it, is it hard??

I know exactly how you feel! JC will be 3 weeks Monday. I'm so glad that I am breastfeeding, but it's very demanding. Hopefully it will get easier once I start pumping in a few weeks. I'm ready to get out of the house! Hopefully we'll both be back to our old selves soon! Good luck & Boston is adorable!

I love Boston's pictures!! He is so stinkin cute!! I used to just sit for hours and watch Graham sleep! It was so much fun! Keep it up with the breastfeeding! I know you are doing a great job! It is hard but it's worth it! Plus it does help you lose the weight! After I stopped Bf'ing, I gained a few of my lbs back which I was NOT happy about but I've been working out as much as I possibly can but I still have a long ways to go before I am where I want to be...it's hard to get a workout in when you work fulltime.

I've taken G for walks the past two days and he has just LOVED it!! Maybe you could try that with Boston...the sun will make you feel better! :)
