Moving Right Along

Wow! Where does the time go?! So it's been almost 7 weeks since our little Maxwell was born. Let's just say it's been a trip.

The first few weeks were super rough. The joy of having a baby wore off as soon as Adam returned to work. I was crazy sleep deprived and with the slew of hormones coursing through my body, I thought I had officially gone crazy! I literally felt like I had lost my mind somewhere along the way. I couldn't sleep at night, although I was exhausted. When I did sleep, I was having nightmares. Most nights (when Adam was at work) I found my self sitting on the couch sobbing. Thankfully, my sisters and mom and mother-in-law are super awesome! Not only did they spend countless hours on the phone with me while I cried uncontrollably, most of them came to RI to help me gain back my sanity. I don't think I could have done it without them.

Enough with the sadness of the past. Let's move on to the bright future and a major picture overload.

Outings with my mom. She came to rescue me and feed me for the next month
Doing her favorite job as a nana, bath time!

I'm looking a little sleepy! (Look at those major bags under my eyes!)

He hated his first bath but loves them now! He's a man of leisure. 
One month old! 
Enjoying his lunch
Happy, smiling baby! Love his little face. 
Our first time to the beach as a family of three.
He loved his first beach trip, although he looks more like an Eskimo than a beach bum.

  1. Oh my goodness He is so cute! I know, those weeks after are rough. I had postpartum depression with Alexis and all her issues made me go insane. I totally understand! Glad you're doing better and he is just the cutest little thing! I can see both you and adam in him. He's a good mixture.
