A busy couple of days = one exhausted momma

Well, hello.

I feel like I haven't posted anything in months.  But that could just be my lack of sleep and pure exhaustion speaking.

We had a busy weekend and last couple of days, so I thought I'd post before my mommy-brain took over, and I promptly forgot everything that happened.

Saturday, my parents drove into town.  Again.  Poor people.  They've gotta be so tired from the many trips they keep making here!

They went with us to our friend Leah's wedding.  Here are the three of us about to leave.

No children were allowed...but an exception was made for Jack :)  He was allowed to stay with my parents upstairs during the ceremony.  Here's what he did the entire time...

Right before the ceremony started...ahem...it's ok...you can say it.
We know we look exhausted.
P.S. The ceremony was all kinds of gorgeous!

After the ceremony...
Leah and her mom bought him this cute tuxedo onesie! :)

 On our way to the ceremony...anyone noticing a pattern?

 At the reception...we look more awake...maybe it's because we were about to eat...or because the music was crazy loud!  Notice how I have a blanket on one side of his head and a burp cloth on the other? :)

During dinner...

The beautiful bride!

We stayed until around 10.  It was a long, but fun night!  Thanks Mom and Dad for coming with us and making it possible for us to be able to see Leah and Ryan get married!

Sunday we went to church and then had friends and family over for lunch and a fun afternoon.  The four of us watched a few movies and then hit the sack.  We had an early day coming.  

Monday morning, so very bright and early, we headed to the pediatrician's office for Jack's circumcision.  He was a trooper!  Here he is all bundled up after we got home, and I finally got him calmed down.  He was pretty clingy yesterday and really just wanted to be loved on, but I didn't mind :)  Though my tired eyes sure did want to rest!

Today we had another early morning.  We had his two-week checkup!  Big Guy now weighs 7 pounds 5.5 ounces and is 19 inches long.  :)  Yay breast milk!
Here he is doing what I wish I could do!

I hear my boy stirring in there, so I'll end for now.  Maybe I'll get a nap in today!  Fingers and toes (and anything else that can be twisted) crossed!

    You know Grandpa and NaNa loved every minute of being with little Jack Campbell (and, of course, you and Spencer, too)! :) You are a wonderful mother and so very calm with him. And, yes, mother's milk is the best - 7 lbs. 5.5 oz. and a 1/2" longer proves it!!!!! Love you.

    P.S. Try to catch a few winks when he is sleeping. Your rest is very important, too.

      I don't know how calm I am. I think sleep deprivation plays a big role ;)

    Listen to your mom and get some rest. My mom constantly told me to sleep while the baby sleeps. Did I do it? No. Should I have? YES!!! So learn from my mistake, and listen to your mom. :)

Monday Musings (5/4)

~I'm in the mood to decorate my backyard with beautiful flowers, especially along the fence line. I was thinking rose bushes. But, then. I get email notifications from a company called Joss & Main often with discounted prices and good deals, and today's email showed that, among other things, they had their garden items on sale. I clicked on over and saw the prettiest hydrangeas! I ADORE hydrangeas. We had them in our wedding, and they were so simple and beautiful. Unfortunately, they already sold out of all of their hydrangeas!!  BOO.  I'll keep looking around to find some good deals.  If you're also in the gardening mood, check out their sales . Maybe they'll have the plant, garden item, outdoor furniture, or other item for around the house you're searching for. ~Saturday morning, my mom and I took the kids to our local consignment shop. They were having a birthday/reopening/moving celebration and had prizes and food and a man doing face painting. ...

Introducing....

I know I left you all in suspense. Right now I'm running on very little sleep (we were awake for 25 hours straight, & I've slept an hour and 45 minutes total since then), so this is more informative and less story-like--his birth story will come later. I have to tell it, at some point, because it was nothing short of amazing.  And traumatic.  And I may have to gather more details from those who might remember it more clearly. So, without further ado... (And with a very grainy picture from my iPad taken in the early light of day--6:45), I'd like to introduce you to our son. Jack Campbell Born on 6-11-13 at 1:11 am (he's almost 6 hours old) Weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces (praise God!!) and measuring 18.5 inches long.  He's entirely too precious for words.  We feel ridiculously tired and immeasurably blessed. Thank you for praying!

In the Beginning...There Was a Garden

Image
Y'all, I'm feeling the itch.  It's more of a tick, really.  We've got this huge backyard (which really is not very pretty right now...I'm sure the overcast weather isn't helping my view), and I am itching, ticking, jonesing to start a garden. I love flowers, but I'd rather plant veggies and fruit.  The problem is that I have no idea where to begin.  None.  I've searched and searched on Pinterest, and there are tons of blog posts and articles about gardening, but I'm having trouble just getting started.  What do I do first?  When do I plant? What kind of  soil?  How much sun/shade? Where do I plant? Side of the yard? Back of the yard? Along the fence? Out in the middle? What do I plant? Cucumbers, definitely.  Bell peppers, most likely.  But, what else? What's your favorite, easily grown fruit/vegetable? What pests do I need to worry about?  I also need to keep in mind that I have two ...
