First Easter!

We celebrated Riley's first Easter by going to church with Tristin's family at Lakeview Church of God. Riley did so good in church. Of course we were late, for some reason we can't get out of the house on time any more! haha!! Tristin fed him during service then he slept. We also went out to eat after at El Chicos. Riley slept the whole time... He always sleeps the whole time on outings! I know that wont last too much longer! :)

After lunch, I went to my mom's where Riley got a bunny and an egg with his name. He slept while his cousins hunted eggs my mom hid for them!

Our First Easter!!

1 month old!

WOW!! Time sure does go by fast. Riley is already a month old and I will be going back to work soon. I can not believe how fast time flies.

Riley is already getting so big... but he still can only fit in newborn clothes. (and some NBs are still big)

He is smiling some. In his sleep and we've got him to grin a little. But I am not fast enough to snap a pic.

He is so strong. He will grip you finger so tight, hold on to your shirt and he can even hold his bottle. He is also pretty good at holding his head up when you are holding him on his chest.... but he is not a fan of tummy time yet!

At first, He was not a good sleeper. He absolutely HATED sleeping in his bassinet. He would start moving and then wake up. He would only sleep in someones arms. Now, He is sleeping better in his bassinet. (we had to fix up so he his sleep on his Boppy.) And he can sleep forever in his swing. He is starting to sleep for longer periods of time at night. But he sleeps ALL THE TIME!!! (day or night)

So what have we been doing this month??

Rub-A-Dub-Dub!!

Riley's umbilical cord finally fell off Sunday night!! So, That night we gave him his first real bath. He didn't really know what to think! He didn't get too mad until it was time to wash his hair.

My Pregnancy!

Since Riley is here I thought I would write about my pregnancy. I would have done this sooner but it seem to never make time to sit at the computer and type or when I do sit down it is time to feed the little man... since he is eating every two hours!

Total Weight Gain: Gained 28lbs

Maternity Clothes: I had to wear maternity jeans and pants for most of the pregnancy. I wore some of pants I already had.. I just used the safety pin trick! My hips got bigger! I got a few maternity shirts but for the most part I wore shirts I already had.

Movement: Riley became the most active towards the end of the pregnancy. And mostly in the afternoon and at night. I loved see his foot stick out my side!

Sleep: At the beginning I didn't sleep much- I had to pee like every hour. Then I got to point where I was sleeping good. Then back to having to pee every hour.

Cravings: I didn't really crave anything in particular. Certain foods just tasted good! I had Chocolate Milk almost every night. I also loved grapes and strawberries with cream cheese fruit dip!

Symptoms: At the beginning, I had headaches every evening. I also had the wost heartburn!! It was horrible... and Riley doesn't have the hair to prove it! haha! I was sooo lucky I had NO morning sickness!! The day before my water broke I did feel sick to my stomach and I got sick. I had high blood pressure throughout the pregnancy, but it was not extreme. At my last appointment (the day my water broke) I had some protein in my urine and was showing signs of preeclampsia.



37 Weeks



I wish I had a picture of my belly at 39 weeks before I had him! I can't believe how fast the pregnancy went. It flew by! Overall, I had a pretty smooth pregnancy!
