2 Months!

Max is two whole months today. I can't even believe it has been two months. Crazy. It seems like I have had him forever. But now the weeks are just flying by. I will be back to work in just under 3 weeks now. We went to his doctors appointment today. He is 15 lb's and 25.3 inches. That puts him in the 99th percentile in both height and weight. We have a big boy. Our Doctor said it was OK since Chris and I are both tall. He is otherwise healthy. He had to get his immunizations, but he was so brave and only cried for a little bit. Chris had him smiling again in no time.

On Tuesday the 20th we went and visited my Grandparents (Max's great grandparents) in Roy. They hadn't met him yet so they were very excited. We went and visited my Grandpa Johnson at the care center he is staying at and then went over to my Grandma and Grandpa Homer's house. We got some pictures, and if you can see... Max doesn't like looking at camera's. He would rather look at the brightest light in the room. Oh well!

Since his head control had much improved, I graduated him to the facing forward in the baby Bjorn. He still needs to gain a little more head control, but he loves looking around at the world. Especially at bright lights (where he is looking in this picture as well). We will call him light seeker.... kidding.

I feel great. I have really settled in to this new mom thing. I love being able to take him places now. He has settled into a sort of night sleep routine that is allowing me so much more sleep. And Chris always takes one or two night feedings when he isn't working, so I am getting solid blocks of sleep (8 hours last night!!) which makes me feel amazing. We went to church for 3 whole hours without Max and I actually missed him like crazy! I better get adjusted because I have to go back to work soon. But it is so fun being a mom and I am so glad I feel I can enjoy it, instead of being overwhelmed and anxious all the time. Postpartum Depression is so real, and something that I didn't think would happen to me since I haven't really suffered from depression before. I am so glad that I got some help so I could get some rest and feel joy again. Because you never get these moments back. I am a better wife and a better mom, and our family life has improved so much.
