1 month down!

Look who survived the first month of being a mother of two!!  The nights are long and lack of sleep is a b!*%$ but I feel happy and look forward to the day with Lucas and Nicolas.  The baby blues skipped me this time around and I'm so grateful.  Last time I did not enjoy the newborn stage and felt very overwhelmed by motherhood.  This time my house is a mess, but I feel happy and enjoy being a mother of two. 

Lucas stats for the 1st month:
Weight @ 1 month: 8lbs 2.8oz 
1st bottle at 4 weeks.  Chugged it down with no problem!
Starting smiling at about 3.5 weeks
A little bit of cooing at 4.5 weeks
Still sleeps a lot but cat naps not long naps
Doesn't really like tummy time but we are working on it so his neck gets stronger.
Lucas and I venture out often and he is an angel while out.

Originally I was going to take 12 weeks of maternity leave but a NEW JOB (woohoo!!) has cut that short.  So I will be returning to work July 9th.  Lucas will only be 5 weeks 5 days but he is being taken care of by the best nanny, my mom!

I know life is only going to get crazier when I start working but I'm really excited about the new job!

Here are my favorite pics of the last month.
