Hunter [1 month]...

Our Hunter has turned one month old and this past month with him has been amazing! 

I've been wanting to blog about my little man for awhile now but just haven't found the time.  

(I've been too busy loving on his sweet little cheeks!)

Hunter has already changed so much since he was born. 

• He out grew newborn diapers in the first week and now fits into his 0-3 month clothes
• He still has all of his hair, but it has lightened up these past few weeks
• His little legs have begun to fatten up right along with his cheeks
• Hunters eyes have started to change to a lighter blue and there is nothing I love more than staring at them all day long
• He has two adorable dimples that he has most recently learned to show them off with his sweet little smile (I melt)
• He HAS to have at least one arm free from his burrito at night. Otherwise he will fuss and squirm to get one free
• He is not a fan of the bottle or a paci... It is a current work in progress, but he is just a bigger fan of the "real thing". Nursing has been quite easy from day one. He will root or try to eat us when we kiss his cheeks to let us know he is hungry
• Currently he is a Mommas boy and I am completely ok with that. He does find comfort in his Daddy, but I am in love with the fact that I can truly calm him with my embrace
• His favorite place to sleep is on our chests. He can sleep for hours if we let him
• The number one question EVERYONE asks is if we are getting any sleep. (Makes me wonder if I look dead when ever we are out in public.) But yes, we are. He sleeps up to four hours at night and I love it. During the day his naps only last about 30 min (unless he is on our chests) occasionally longer which is always a good thing
• This past week he has really become more observant. It is the sweetest thing when he turns and stares at either me or B. He also LOVES to stare out the window. If I lay him by the sliding glass doors he seems to find such contentment in simply looking out into the light
• He rather enjoys his carseat (as long as its moving) The rocking of us carrying it lulls him to sleep quite rapidly. Then, once he wakes up and cant stretch is when we have a problem

Over all this little guy is truly wonderful! 

He is easy when running errands, loves to snuggle, and thoroughly enjoys bath time.

I think he is such a good sweet babe, and those who have met him would probably agree.

We truly cannot imagine our lives with out him.

Welcome to the World...

Days away...

Officially a week left till this little ones due date and we couldn't be more excited. Some days I can't believe that it's so close and other days I feel like I have been pregnant for FOR-EVVVVV-ER! We have done all we can do so far to prepare for his arrival... Clean clothes, organize, and oh yeah... MOVE. That's right... at 38.5 weeks we moved into another apartment. (Surprised it didn't kick start labor... guess he is just taking his sweet little time) Moving really takes a lot out of you... Especially when it is from a third floor apartment to a second floor in a completely different building. Packing up everything, cleaning the old apartment, and organizing the new has been such a chore. I hated the feeling of being useless and not really being able to move anything. Good thing I married such an amazing man that works his tail off and does what needs to get done. Also, we have some pretty great men/missionaries in our ward that were kind enough to volunteer their time and muscles. (One of the guys actually works for the local fire department and brought his crew with him in their rig... they were heaven sent)

Pregnancy has been a bit of a breeze for me. I haven't really been sick or too uncomfortable these past nine 9 months. I have loved all the sweet kicks from our little babe and knowing he is always with me... BUT I am SO EXCITED about having my body back and being able to sleep on my stomach again. This guy moves all of the time. Late in the evening is his favorite time to stretch and show us how tall he is. It has been fun trying to guess what is making my tummy poke out; his arms, legs, hands, bum... But it is going to be even better when we can kiss and love on all those parts in person.

No Braxton Hicks quite yet (or any other signs of labor) but I do find myself being just as tired as I was in the first trimester... and poor B has had to deal with my cranky prego hormones when I get exhausted from a long day. I wish I could sleep in and/or nap whenever I want but duty calls and I must work. Yes, I am still working. Planning on working at the school until this babe decides to make his debut. Along with my sleepiness, I have gone back to craving potato anything... fries, chips, baked potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. This kids sure loves his carbs. but who doesn't?!?

We only have a few more things to do to completely be ready for this kid. Install his car seat, get more diapers, and basically just breath... Life is about to change for us dramatically but we couldn't be more thrilled about our new addition coming and making us a family of 3!!!
