Good morning everyone... Hope you all have had a good weekend. We have been keeping busy here at home. We had a great visit with Josh's sister Monica Wednesday through yesterday when we had to take her back to the airport.. I felt bad watching her say goodbye to Charlie, I know it is hard for all the aunts to be so far away but they can rest assure Charlie will constantly be reminded of how special they are.
Josh and I celebrated our four year anniversary on Thursday. What a wonderful ride that has been so far with many more to come I am sure. We always say we are doing no gifts, and like always we both had a little something for the other one. I do love that man! Charlie had his two week appointment and got nothing but good reports... he is up to 7 lbs 10 oz and the doctor had nothing but good things to say about him. We spent the rest of the day with Aggie and Monica walking around in Branson and it was great.
Friday we celebrated Holly's bday with a playdate at Katies, OK it really ended up being more for us mom's than anything... Charlie didn't wake up, the twins were down for a nap and poor Henry had recieved five shots that morning so he spent most of lunch crying. Either way we were all together and I hope she had a good time. And a more peaceful birthday yesterday!
The Trinca family stopped in for a visit as well on Friday and brought lots of goodies to get us through the weekend. We are officially home alone now for a few days. Just the four of us. We have loved having all our family here but it is nice to have some down time as well. Josh of course can't sit still, he has already been on a run and is cleaning out the gutters as I type this post.
Charlie and I tried to take a dog walk with Aunt Sassy yesterday but he couldn't seem to get himself calmed down, then he had a few other fussy spots last night as well. Holly, the baby whisperer told me I had to get the DVD "Happiest Baby on the Block" and let me tell you watching it last night couldn't have come at a better time. I HIGHLY recommend every new mother taking the time to check this DVD out. Charlie slept an extra hour between feedings last night and he is passed out in his swing, happy as a lark right now. I love that crazy doctor!
This week is pretty quiet for us. Josh's dad is driving down on Friday and Aunt LuLu is FINALLY coming on Saturday. We will spend this Thanksgiving in Carthage where Charlie will meet his great grandma Alice and Great Uncle Jim and Great Aunt Lisa. My mom is the ultimate Thanksgiving day chef and I can't wait to use breastfeeding as an excuse to take down some serious turkey day food!
