I know I know....



Well we have been a tad busy getting the hang of this whole parenting thing and recovering from the c-section.... But I think we are getting back into the swing of things.
So here is our past few weeks in pictures...

This is our first family picture on Fathers Day.


Sam getting her first "real" bath once her umbilical cord stub fell off... It took forever but it finally came off, yes I admit I played with it a lot I mean it had been 4 weeks. Sam really enjoys bath time. She seems to just relax and enjoy the warm water and she makes lots of funny faces at us.


Sam enjoying some tummy time. She likes tummy time so much she usually falls asleep...Oh well we still continue to try it every day.



Dan caught Sam and I snoozing when he got home from work one day. We had had a very busy day of mall walking, running errands, etc. Yes I have become one of those darn mall walkers but it is really hot outside (it is June in Texas) so we have to do some exercise and mall walking is the easiest....


Sam in her very trendy clam digger shorts...Yes my daughter is more trendy then me at the moment. How cute is that.
Well a quick update on me I have lost 28 of the 45 pounds I gained. I have been cleared to start working out again last week and I hit it hard. I started running immediately and have run 1 hour every day for the past week. I have to go back to work in 5 weeks and I refuse to buy a new wardrobe so my butt will be back into pretty close to pre-pregnancy size when I return to work. I am only allowed to weigh myself once a week on Saturday.
We also had Dan's sister "Aunt Amy" in town for a week and Sam loved getting to know her Aunt. Sam has now met all her immediate family and loving spending as much time as she can with everyone.
I also had my first bad mom moment. I was cutting Sam's nails last week and I nipped one of her fingers...Of course I was devastated and cried my eyes out. She was sound asleep when it happened and her face all crunched up and her mouth was wide open with no sound coming out for 10 seconds then she wailed for about 30 seconds and fell back to sleep pretty quickly. Of course that is the day I went in for my 6 week check up so I had put a band aid on her finger and everyone asked what happened. Everyone assured me that is very normal I just felt horrible about it.
So that is about it for us I will try and update on a more regular basis now that I am getting into some sort of routine.
