veggies, not a big fan-but i eat them!

5 months-i've been such a slacker

aidan's already 5 months old (tomorrow), and he's currently sitting in my lap as i try to type this one-handed! not an easy task! i truly never realized how hard parenthood would be. my biggest issue is time management...i need more hours--to sleep, to do chores, to pee!

but he truly is a good baby. a good eater-if you can't tell-, an okay sleeper (not sure where he gets the lack of needing sleep from), and a flirt! he's been baby-talking since about 2 months old and every now and then tim and i just look at each other when what sounds like a real word comes out. "did you hear that?" similtaneously comes out of our mouths...i keep thinking i can't wait until he does this or that, but then i think, time has already gone by so fast and have to remind myself to stop and enjoy what he's doing now. we were in pa for a family visit and there were pictures of him at about 3 months- and i honestly don't remember him being so small! my chunky monkey is about 17 lbs. right now if not more!

our new purchase has been the jumperoo...a wonderful buy, but space consuming as is everything for a new baby. our living room has turned into aidan's room with just enough room for mom and dad!

so i'll will do my best to try and keep up with this. i'm not certain who still actually reads it!

Getting ready for Christmas

so here's our big bundle! Aidan's only 10 weeks and looks like such a little man! we've managed to make our first visit to PA (and about to make our 2nd this weekend followed by another after xmas.) he's witnessed his first snowfall in both pa and md, sat on santa's lap (who looked like an actual santa--the hair and beard were real!), and survived living with us! not bad for a 10 week old! he's been mumbling now for about a month, i'm just waiting for the day that he actually answers me back. his mouth and tongue move so much when he wants to talk...oohs and ahhs and babbling just come out with an excited smile and laugh!

the only bad part is that i've gone back to work :( i went back after 8 weeks. i didn't miss it while i was out and i still don't. it would be great to stay home and raise our son, but it's just not possible right now. after, actually before he was born, i was thinking about moving back to pa, but now, it's constantly in the back of my mind. it's probably not in the near future...we've got to see how things go and what would happen if tim would transfer, plus with the crappy housing market, i think we'd have trouble selling the house. so we'll just keep working on it and see where life takes us...for now Aidan is 100% of my life!

Back Online

After 10 weeks, here we are. it's gone by fast, but at the same time it seems so long ago. we ended up having a c-section. after being induced and 15 hours of labor, they decided to do the surgery. by then i was more than ready. aidan was 9 lbs. 8 oz. with a 15 cm. noggin'. so he wasn't gonna come out any other way!

5 more days to go and then life changes!!

there hasn't been any change since last week, so it's inevitable! If nothing happens between now and Wed. we go to the hospital wednesday night and induction begins thursday morning.

so hopefully he will arrive sometime thurs. i hope it doesn't go into friday!

3 weeks to go....officially

here are some updated sonogram pics of buddha. we're still doing well and just waiting for things to start moving along. i've started to diallate, a little, but that could be that way for weeks.
