Whoa!

That's all I have to say some days, just whoa! That can mean, "whoa I can't believe how fast Luke is growing and how absolutely adorable he is" or "whoa, some days I doubt I will ever have another baby!" Yesterday was the first type of whoa, today was the second. But lets start with this weekend, it was jam packed with things to do.

I had my first day away from Luke this weekend, for a good 9 hour stretch...I wasn't sure how it would go but I survived and so did Luke and Zach. Did I think about him constantly and wonder what he was doing? Yes. Did I call to check in on my guys? Yes. Did I drive kind of fast to get home at the end of the day because I missed them terribly? Yes. But did I survive and actually enjoy a little bit of time being an adult again? Yes! I had real clothes on, shoes with heels, and carried a purse instead of a diaper bag, score! When I got home I just wanted to cuddle my little guy all night and most of the next day but it was refreshing to have some time away. And to top it all off, Luke slept for a 4 hour stretch that night. That means I got to sleep for four consecutive hours!!! AMAZING! That's the longest stretch of sleep I've had since Luke was born and when I woke up at 3 am to feed him, my body was completely refreshed and wide awake, so I was up forever then, but its all good! Let's hope for more 4 hour stretches in the near future! The next day, since Luke and I were so rested, we spent lots of time hanging out, making faces, and just relaxing, it was wonderful!

Today, unfortunately, was the complete opposite! It was the kind of day that made me question whether I will have a second child, hah. Luke was super fussy and nothing I could do would calm him down. It makes you feel so helpless and pretty much upset me as much as it did him. After many laps around the house, bouncing constantly, feeding, burping, changing, handing him off to Zach, and doing it all over again the fussiness passed. Thank goodness! I have no clue in the end what was wrong, if anything. Being new parents Zach and I questioned everything and tried so hard to figure out what was wrong. It was probably nothing and I'm sure today won't be the only trying day with Luke but it took the best of out of me.

This past weekend we also took 1 month pictures of Luke. Here are a few of them.
