Man its been a while since I've had a free moment! Alexander is doing great. Man is he growing! He almost doesn't fit in his bassinet anymore. We just got a baby monitor so we will be putting him in his own room soon. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet but if he doesn't fit in the bassinet then I don't have much choice do I? It will be good for both of us though. He's holding his head up really well now and loves to make faces and laugh at stuff. He is still as cute as a button. I need to post some more pictures soon.

We just got back from visiting my parents in Texas for Thanksgiving. He was really good on the plane. He slept the whole time we were on the plane. I really miss my family. I didn't realize how much until I had a baby. I guess I just have to deal with it. Thats what phones and email is for I guess. We had a really nice visit and I can't beleive how helpful my mom is (way more helpful than my MIL) Of course we had Turkey and all the fixings for Thanksgiving and it was really yummy. We had 2 different kinds of pumpkin pie and cherry pie (Stephen wanted cherry). Everyone was really happy to see Alexander. My dad was super excited to see him. I'd never seen him like that. Part of me didn't want to come back to Canada.

After getting back from our trip I've started working out at the gym I've joined. They really push the weight training at this gym and its actually kind of fun. I never thought I was the type of person to do wieght training but I really like it. I've been going for almost a week and I've already lost 4 lbs!!!

Breastfeeding is still challenging. I'm mostly pumping and giving it to him by bottle. its still frustrating though because my supply isn't going up anymore and he is wanting more and more. I'm still hanging in there though. Looking forward to Christmas. I'll post another entry about our Christmas plans. Hope all is weill with my DS friends.
