happy (belated) mother's day!

This past Sunday marked my first Mother's Day...what an emotional, wonderful holiday! We had a low-key day, meeting my mom and Terry for breakfast, doing a little shopping, and then vegging at home, napping, and doing a million loads of laundry. Ryan got me a new digital camera (mine was 5 years old and only 1.3 megapixels...yikes! Now I'm hooked up with 5.1), and my mom and Terry got me a gorgeous necklace with a little mother-child charm.

I don't have too many pictures of me with Ryan, since I'm usually the one behind the lens, but I made a point of having Tony take some of us on Mother's Day. It's hard to catch the little one smiling, especially with the lag on point-and-shoot digitals. But he's about to crack one in this picture...honest!

I hope all you moms out there had a wonderful day, too!

i'm it

• What's in your fridge?

Not much. Lots of condiments, breast milk, cokes, 2% milk, various juices, probably some expired hamburger, bagged salad, pudding cups

• What's in your purse?

Since I'm actually carrying a purse now that I'm back at work and can't keep the diaper bag with me, I just have my wallet, my keys, sunglasses, my phone, bc pills, and a spare pair of contacts

• What I wear now

During the week: work clothes. Although, I'm pleased to say most of them are from before I got pregnant and they are big on me! During the weekend: jean capris, cute tops, flip-flops, and my sling.

• What's on/in your DVR/DVD?

Watched "Brokeback Mountain" this weekend. And I have a Billy Blanks Tae Bo Total Fat Blaster DVD right now from Netflix.

• What's in your car?

Too much crap. Tons of blankets, the car seat base, lots of Burger King bags (have been stopping there every morning after dropping of my handsome guy at his baby-sitter's), stroller, phone charger, travel bottle warmer, winter accident kit

Now tag, you're it. If you don't have a blog, post your answers in the comments section.

are you there?

I've had a couple of people tell me recently that they check my blog often for updates on Ryan. If you're reading this, post a comment so I know you are out there. I don't want to spend time uploading photos and writing out posts if no one is reading....

easter

We had Ryan's picture taken with the Easter Bunny. Luckily he slept through the entire process...I'm not too sure how much he would have liked having that scary big head so close to his face! :-)


I have to go back to work on Thursday. I'm very sad...it's been so great getting to spend so much time with my little man. I hate to think about what all I'm going to miss out on. Luckily my mom and Tony's aunt are going to be doing the baby-sitting for us.

Ryan's 2-month check-up was fantastic...he's up to 10 pounds 2 ounces and is 21 inches long. He's achieved all of the milestones that "normal" 2-month-olds should be achieving, but he's on the low end for height and weight, of course. We go back to the doctor in June and by then Dr. Walters said we should have at least tried to give him some cereal mixed in with his milk...oh my gosh! The kid is growing up WAY too fast!
