Finally an update!
Well I thought since Brayden is sleeping I'll finally try to find time to update. The last 7 weeks have been pretty crazy. We are adjusting well to life with a baby. Unfortunatly our schedule will have to change in just a few weeks because I have to go back to work on June 4th. Im NOT looking forward to that. I dont know how I'm going to be able to leave Brayden all day long. Its not going to be easy, but it has to be done. I do miss being in a social setting and I really miss all the girls I work with, but I cant imagine only seeing Brayden for a few hours a day. Wish I had the money to be a stay at home mommy. Its still so surreal that I finally have a baby. Hes getting SOOOO big. He weighs 14lbs 8ozs already and hes about 24/25 inches long. Hes smiling more and more everyday and also trying to giggle. The other night he was up eating and he was still so tired he was falling asleep while eating. Everytime he would close his eyes then open them and see me he'd get this huge smile on his face. He did it like 3 or 4 times and I was laughing so hard at him I woke my husband up. Seeing him smile at his mommy is the most amazing thing in the world.We are surviving our first cold. Brayden and I are both sick!!! YUCK! Brayden got stuffy on Wed. night and he coughed all night. Me and my husband were both up ALL night watching him. It was SOOO scary. I called the doctor on Thur. and they saw him and said hes fine just has a little cold. Thankfully his lungs were clear. The next day is when I started getting the cold. I feel AWFUL so I know he does also. Its the worst feeling in the world knowing your child is sick and theres nothing you can do to make him feel better. I can take medicine to make me feel better, hes still to little. All I'm allowed to do for him is suck his nose out and give him saline nasal spray....which makes him cry even harder. He goes back to the doctor this week to get his shots :( Wish us luck. I still havent been back to the doctor. I was supposed to go last week but we started towards town and it was flooded everywhere....so we had to turn around. They still havent sent me a replacement app. I had to go to the dermatologist though. My whole body was breaking out worse then it has my entire life. They put me on a few medicines and I'm starting to clear up, its still pretty bad, but let me tell you my face is SOOOOO sore. I cant even think about putting makeup on because it burns SOOO bad. They said I'll get used to it and it wont hurt anymore. I hope that happenes soon. Well thats about it. Ive been trying to get caught up with everyone. I think about you guys all the time. I better go enjoy some quite time before Brayden wakes up. Hugs Monica.

Monica, It is so worth the sleep deprivation to have your little one in your arms. I really hope your baby days don\'t slip away from you too fast. Cherish all those little smiles. I have some pictures for you next time I see you. They are from the baby shower for LeAnna. Well, I guess I will see you Saturday. Take care. Love, Jessica
I\'m so glad to hear all is going well. You\'re little man is growing up so fast! He is so adorable, you are so so lucky!
Sorry about having to go back to work that has to be very tough. I\'ll be thinking about you, enjoy these weeks you have with him (I know you will)
OH, I HATE CAUSE THE LITTLE GUY IS SICK. I CAN\'T WAIT TILL YOU COME BACK. YOU JUST CAN\'T WIN. FOR EVERY GOOD THING THAT HAPPENS SOMETHING AWKWARD COMES ALONG. WELL GIVE MY LITTLE GUY A KISS.
I have to go back to work on May 28 after only 8 weeks with my little guy... he is just getting to the fun stage and now Day Care gets to enjoy that! Enjoy your quiet time. Aiden is just now falling asleep so some quiet time is coming my way as well... glad things are ok and hope the two of you are feeling better soon!
Just enjoy every single second of your precious baby now. You will still get to spend alot of time with him, and the socialization with friends at work will feel good after a bit. I totally understand though. I LOVE the profile pic!! Big hugs and thanks for the encouragement.
Awe. I\'m sorry you and Brayden are sick. I hope you both get better soon. Emmy got a cold just after we brought her home from the hospital. I felt so helpless. I\'m glad everything else is okay. Don\'t you just love seeing his little smile? It still melts my heart every time Emmy smiles at me.
Aww i am sorry that you all got colds, hope it goes away soon. Glad to hear everything else is going good!
I\'m so happy things are going well for you!! I just got over a bad cold and I know how bad they suck...hope you and baby feel better soon...XOXO
