8 Week Update

Happy 8 weeks Zaney Boy! (And happy 200th post!)

This week I managed to break apart the lens to the very nice camera that my parents let me borrow to take Zane's weekly pictures. (Go me!) It was the cherry on top of a very long week. His 8 week photoshoot was taken with my iPhone. He was such a mover and made a BUNCH of adorable faces but unfortunately most pictures had blurred limbs. This was the best one of the bunch. Hopefully next week we'll have the lens fixed and can get better quality photos of our boy again.

Work has left me emotional and exhausted. I'm hoping I'll get the chance to update about how work is going but in addition to stealing time away from my handsome little man, working is also making blogging just about impossible. :/

Zane is doing great, though and that's something to be super happy about. Our boy is growing and had a big time growth spurt this past week. He's moving a ton, smiling at people us and sleeping very well. Last night he went down at 8:00pm after his bath and didn't wake up until 1:00am. After a diaper change and a feeding he went right back to sleep. This mama is grateful as it is now 4:00am and I am getting ready for work.

The prints we ordered of Zane's newborn photos have arrived so I'm hoping I'll get the chance to share those with you soon. For now, it's off to work....

Seven Week Update

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Week seven has been a busy one. I'd love to talk all about it but unfortunately, work + growing baby boy = one tired mama. I hardly find the time shower, so the blog has been getting neglected. I can see now why the majority of mama blogs I follow are written by stay at home moms. It's a lot easier to write posts when you can find ten minutes here, and fifteen minutes there, to work on it. I spend eight hours a day at a computer doing work and I would happily trade it for even thirty minutes of blog time!

Without having the time to get too much into detail, I will say that our little guy is getting SO big. We weighed him just yesterday and he's now at about 10.5lbs! Our little chunker. I love it! He's still eating like a crazy man and thankfully my milk production is still keeping up with his demands. I find time at work to pump at least twice. Today I'll have to pump three times since I start work an hour earlier.

Although he still fits into his newborn diapers we have packed them away because he has outgrown their absorbancy. We have a heavy wetter on our hands, which is no surprise given the amount of milk he takes in! The prefold that we loved so much were getting soaked the second we put them on him. (We once had to change him three times in about seven minutes. No exaggeration there!) And I'm sad to see the Lil' Joey's go. They were so adorable and so trim on his tush, but unfortunately they just couldn't hold up. Though they last longer than the prefolds, Zane gets them pretty soaked as well. They are significantly heavier when we take them off of him so it's at least great to know that they are still holding quite a bit. Just not enough, though. Now that we're putting him into his one size diapers by BumGenius and Kawaii Baby (we have yet to try out his one size Grovia or FuzziBunz Elite) we are changing him less frequently, he is staying much more dry, and we haven't had any issues with leakage. We have ordered some more one size diapers for our stash so I will try to get a fluff mail post up once they arrive and a review once we've tried them out for a bit.

Well, that's all I have time for!!! Bah! (I'm quickly writing this at 4:30am before getting ready for my 6:00am clock in time.)
