A Week In The Life...

I'm not so sure I like this swing.... ...but it sure puts me to sleep :) 2nd Sunday football with dad...Chase has officially taken Krod's place

Just chillin'

I took this picture as a reminder of just how small he was - barely fills up the car seat!

You lookin at me?

Cuddle time with dad

I cannot believe...and I mean cannot believe how fast this past week has flown by. Chase will be two weeks old tomorrow and it feels like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant. For all of my complaining of sleepless nights (gas is not a fun thing in a little baby) I know that I will soon look back on this time and wish I could experience every moment again. I am truly trying to savor every sleep deprived (as in texting my friend Angie and not remembering it) moment that there is.

This week we have really just been hanging out at home since Chase is still too little to be out and about in public. We have still had a lot of visitors coming by to meet the little guy and we have gotten out for a few walks in the open air but primarily it has just been us getting to all know eachother.

We did, however, take Chase in for "The Operation" - yes, he is officially circumcised. I thought it might be a painful experience for us but on the doctor's recommendation (and it was great advise), we did not watch. Instead, we waited patiently in the office expecting to hear him wailing as Dr. Carrie perfected his peepee but he just slept through the whole thing! Yup, not even a wimper. Such a trooper he is...just a little bit of Tylenol that night and he was good to go!

While the circumcision didn't seem to phase him, gas sure has...Chase spends the better part of most evenings trying to get it out - sometimes he tries so hard I am afraid he is going to forget to breathe! While it is very difficult for Chase, and not much fun for mom and dad, I cannot complain about a little bit of gas in the evenings - I know it could be much worse!

It is baby mania with our friends - amazing what can change in a year. We just found out our friends Marcus and Colleen are pregnant (congrats!) and Matt and Sunnie are having a boy (yeah - Chase will not have to play with girls all the time!) and all of our other friend's children are just getting so big - so much fun to be a part of it all!
