Well it has been quite a week. Mom was supposed to have surgery but was moved to Monday, so say a prayer. I feel like it was a whirlwind week…it just flew by! I cannot believe it is already October. Ben is 3 months old, boy has time flown by! He is getting so fun. Full of smiles and starting to coo and giggle, I just love it. We had to postpone his portraits till next week. I am really excited for them now that he is smiling so much. Let’s see what else is going on…OH! Ben was able to meet two of his new friends this weekend. Ronnin was in town from Kansas City with her new little one Justus, and Jessica left Seattle for a visit with her little Max. Now Max has not made his way into the world quite yet, but Im sure he still enjoyed being around his friends. We had a blast this weekend. I really miss my friends, but I am so grateful that we have all remained close for the past 14 years. It is fun to see all of our lives unfolding and starting families and discussing what our next steps are gonna be. We all have been blessed with great husbands and beautiful children (though we haven’t “seen” Max yet, I’m sure he is beautiful) Below are the pics of the week. I love sharing these with you!

Well, I am sure of it…I have the sweetest baby ever! He is doing so well, and getting so big. This week, although still a little rough, made me feel like I am gonna be able to do this! Ben started sleeping through the night! YEAH! YIPPEE! He is doing so well! He is starting to do some baby talk, which is sooo cute, and the smiles are coming more regularly. I LOVE IT! I feel like we are having actual interaction. Time is flying by so quickly, I just can’t believe it. In one month Rob and I will be married a year. It has been the most amazing year, we have experienced alot, and I love him more and more every day. He has been such an amazing husband, through ALL of my pre and post baby ups and downs, and now I am seeing what a wonderful daddy he is. I am so blessed. I know he feels sometimes like he should be able to provide more and our living arrangements should be better…but I have never been happier. All of those things will come with time. We now have a handsome and amazing little boy, and things didn’t go quite like planned to get him here, so it may take a little longer to get to where he wants us. We just have to remember that we are exactly where God wants us. I love my boys and can’t wait to see what all God has in store for us!
Here are some recent pics of the blessings in my life:

It has been 2 weeks back to work. I wont lie, it has been rough. I have not been super emotional about the whole thing, of course I miss Ben….a WHOLE lot, but what I am having the most trouble with is a routine. UGH, I never thought I would have so much trouble. This past week was really rough for me. With Ben not sleeping much, and Robert working nights…I was just worn out. I felt like a bad mom, and wife, because I feel like I am not efficiently doing what I am “supposed” to do at home. My house seems like it gets so messy, and in the mornings no matter how early I wake up, I feel like I am running around to get things done. Now, we did switch Ben’s formula this week…so I am hoping that it helps his sleeping. My fingers are crossed that I will be able to establish some sort of routine for us at night, throughout the night, and in the morning. Meanwhile, *sigh* I am missing my husband tonight.
Here’s Me ready for my first day back to work, and Ben’s reaction about going to his babysitter for the first time!

This is how we get our Zzz’s:

Here’s the funny Ben Pic of the week:
