7 Weeks

And it's looking like a bi-monthly update is what'll happen these days... Not bad since I thought I was going longer. Probably because of how crazy each day/week actually is. Unfortunately I don't really have the time for my usual snarky comments or flowery language, so I hope you all enjoy the pictures instead :)

We are still doing pretty well with our sleep schedule. We tried to switch it up last weekend for a night and holy crap was that horrible. Eric came home on Friday completely exhausted and I wasn't ready for my early bed time. I stayed up until 2am and then woke him up, essentially swapping our "shifts". Big mistake. I was a wreck from being with the baby all day and all night, Eric needed to either stay asleep or just drink 6 cups of coffee to handle the night shift. Saturday was pretty much ruined. We decided to not try that again and the week went a lot better after that.

Here's when I have to look at my calendar to make sure I don't leave anything out...

Sunday kicked off an awesome week. Susannah and Trevor came up for the day to visit. Before heading to our house, Trevor proposed so we had 2 big reasons to celebrate! We had some champagne and cooed over Sus' new rock and our new baby. We got to go to lunch and then visit with Nate and Laura too. Great ending to the weekend.

The week then flew by... Harrison had a great time with Annie in the mornings, we ran a few errands and cleaned up a little here and there. I finally got the birth announcements out too.



All bundled up!

Kellie got here Thursday afternoon and had a day to chill with us before my parents got in. We ate leftovers, watched Bravo and hibernated :)



Mom and Dad got in Friday and the weekend went really well. Harrison was fantastic and we had a blast... I got out of the house a bit and Eric grilled out one night. Dad had not seen the baby since the day he was born, so it was great for them to have some bonding time.



So a few kinda milestones happened/are happening now that are really fun. Harrison is starting to track and focus on objects a lot, it's so cool to see him figuring things out. He is growing at lightning speed too. We're finally out of newborn sized clothes and diapers completely and just this morning I noticed the 0-3month onesies are getting a bit tight!



Gigi watched the monster track the birdies :)

We capped off the week by heading to Laura and Nate's yesterday afternoon to celebrate Nate and Matty's birthdays. It was great to catch up with friends and hang out for awhile. Once again we are reminded of how things really change. We were both exhausted by 7pm and had no desire to party... A far cry from days before baby.

And finally, since I know you've all been waiting to hear how my doctor's appointment went...
I did officially switch back to Chapel Hill Ob/Gyn, my original practice, and it could not have gone better. I saw Dr. Hardison, he was nice and professional and made me feel so comfortable! No more mid-wives!!! :-) 

Now on to another fun week. Ashley and Scott are coming on Friday, so we'll be laying low until then!
