New Post After Deletion

I posted earlier but decided to delete it. No there wasn't anything bad in it or anything I didn't want the world knowing but it was a very poorly written post and I had more I wanted to add. One of my OCDs is I don't like posting two posts in one day. I like each post to have it's own date. Weird, I know.

Since Mike is working his first evening shift since Colin's birth and I'm bored and want to write a few things, I'll do it list style again.

*Where did the bulletin button go on this darn site?
*My backspace button is making a squeaky noise and its fairly annoying especially considering I'm using my new laptop!
*I'm incredibly sick of the snow. Yes, I know I live in Michigan and crappy snowy winters are par for the course but seriously, I think we've had enough. It's beginning to depress me.
*Tigers tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am. I.can.not.wait! I already have my alarm set on my cellphone and I will be leaving my laptop in my bedroom just to be safe. We want to go to the Tigers vs the Dodgers.
*Ironically as I type this out, I'm texting Missy! (Hi Miss!!)
*My son has a problem. A serious problem lately. What is the problem? He is constantly peeing over himself. No lie, within the past 24 hours Colin has pee'ed through 5 outfits and onesies. It's becoming quite annoying, although it was really funny when he pee'ed through Mike's jeans twice yesterday :)
*Colin is having his pictures taken tomorrow for the first time. I'm really excited. I still don't know exactly what he's going to wear. I know I want him naked and in just a onesie but I want him in an outfit. I've searched so many stores (Macy's, Kohl's, Baby Gap, Gymboree, Carters, Children's Place, Target, etc) and I can't find anything that is long sleeve and not overly "decorated." I don't want writing to show or designs. Hopefully I can find something by tomorrow. I also need to try to find myself a black sweater for the ever famous hand shots. Wish me luck as I think I'm going to need it as I have a busy morning and pictures are at 2pm.

Well I think that's enough.

Chunky Monkey

Colin had his 1 month check-up today. It went well, although he screamed like a mad man since he had to be naked. He is now 21 1/4" long and 10 pounds! According to the Dr, he is doing well and obviously has no problem gaining weight :) He goes back on April 3rd for another weight check and for his shots :( Daddy will definitely be going to that appointment!

Babblings

I apologize in advance for the crappiness of this post. I know I want to write and I actually know pretty much what I want to write but not how to write it. I hope that makes sense.

We had a jammed packed busy visitor filled weekend. Missy was in town from LA. We spent Friday with Missy and Mike's mom. On Saturday, Sam and Woody stopped by before Missy came back with Mike's dad, Amy and the kids. My house has never felt so small or loud :) The kids were adorable with Colin. After everyone left, we headed to my grandma's and Colin was finally able to meet his great-grandma. Sunday, we went to church for the first time and he did great!! I was so nervous that he'd either cry or fart but he kept both in :) After church, we picked Missy up from the hotel and spent the afternoon together. Brandon and Shaina stopped over in the evening. Monday, Colin and I went to Mike's hotel (where Missy was staying) and we introduced Colin to Rob and met Nick, Mike's new GM. After we had to say good-bye to Aunt Missy and finished crying, we stopped by my mom's work to show off Colin. I think that was everything from the weekend.

So on Monday afternoon when Colin began to get a little fussy, I thought maybe it was just because he was too overly stimulated from the weekend. Tuesday, he cried literally almost ALL day. We had switched his formula on Monday and I thought that was why he was so grumpy. I had Mike picked up his old formula along with some baby gas-x. He just seems so gassy lately. He did a little better today but Mike had the day off, so that helped as well. I'm a little nervous that he is getting in the habit of needing to be held all the time. I'm hoping that the new formula, the more normal schedule and the gas-x will help him get back to his "old" self. The needy, fussy Colin is ALOT of work for this new mom.

Well there isn't too much of a point to this post, so I think I'll just stop. More pictures should be coming soon :)

"Small" Victory

I'm taking Colin out for the first time today to somewhere other than the Dr, Hospital or my parents house. Just for S&Gs, I decided to see if my pre-pregnancy jeans fit. THEY FIT!!!!!!!! Granted I hated what size I was before I got pregnant but I'm happy to know that they do fit again after having him two weeks ago. Yay!!
