Happy Easter and birthday

Easter was great. We were able to spend it with Conryd's family. It was kind of a big day because it was pretty much the first time we took Baby E out of the house. We are very protective of taking him out of the house and I still didn't even want to take him to family's house but figured he'd be okay. And it was worth it because we finally got our first family picture.
This is his pooping/farting face..and yes I do think it's one of the cutest facial expressions ever





The 28th was also sort of a big day because it was my 23rd birthday and Baby E hit the 4 week mark. My birthday was very low key but it was a wonderful day. It started off with Baby waking up at 6. He normally doesn't get up til about 7:30 but I guess he decided that getting up an hour and a half early would be a great birthday present to mom...not so much but you can make up for it later on in life. Hubby got home from work about 12 and surprised me with my favorite perfume, Flowerbomb. It was totally unexpected and totally perfect. just a little background story, one of my best friends got me Flowerbomb for my birthday 4 years ago. I hardly ever used it because it was expensive and I wanted it to last a loooong time. Well, little did I know a long time would be like 4 months. My apartment was broken into while I was out of town and my roommates were at church. They stole our laptops and creepily, stole all of our perfume. So not only did those jerks get 3 new laptops, they also got a hardly used bottle of Flowerbomb. I know that was a very tragic story but I'm still bitter to this day about my perfume being stolen. So anyways, the hubby remembered this story and very sweetly and thoughtfully replaced it...and I'm stoked about it.
I didn't get any pictures of myself but I did get some pretty cute ones of the best looking baby in the world.



And the mystery has been solved on who Baby E gets his sleeping positions from.

Apparently, from his dad

And they both give me that same pissed off look when I wake them up :)

Over 3 weeks old

Seriously? How is it possible that our baby is going on his 4 week of life? Time is flying by. I feel like it was just yesterday when I was screaming bloody murder wanting him out.
And I also realized that I still suck at updating the blog. I thought I would be better at it now that I have something exciting to update about, but no.
Baby E has developed some funny habits. One of my favorites are his crazy hands. His hands always have to be up by his face or on his face. And thank goodness for baby mittens, otherwise my child would have no eyes left.
So last night as he was eating, his hands were all over the place. I feel the best way to share that moment with you all is through this clip...

And because he's now starting to wake up, I must end this post.But to end, here's a few updated pictures.

And this onsie reminds me of this kid...

He's here!

March 31, 2011 our perfect baby boy entered our lives. After 13 long hours of labor, he arrived weighing in at 8 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches long.



Our stay at the hospital was extended by an extra day due to jaundice. It was tough seeing him all incubated but we're hoping his levels continue to drop. We were sent home Sunday but had to have an in-home billi light set-up, and don't even get me started at how much of a nightmare that night was. His levels dropped to 11.6 but today looks like it may have risen again. His color was normal yesterday but is looking a tiny bit yellow today. Fingers crossed that he's okay.
Here is chillen in his tanning bed

And here is the stupid one we had to set up at home...I'm telling you, this thing was so frustrating it made me cry, multiple times.

As you can tell, this one is 10 times smaller and he just barely fit. I'm going to punch somebody if they make me put my baby in that one more time.
Here's just a few more pictures for your pleasure.
