Miles at 4.5 Months

Luckiest girl

I think there must be people in the world that don't love their children very much, because if everybody felt this way about their baby the earth would explode. It couldn't handle this much love. I mean, I knew I would love my son a lot, but this is just out of control. And the thing that really surprised me is how much he loves me. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing him smile when he recognizes his mama. I just can't believe that I could be so lucky. My pregnancy and delivery were absolutely dreamy, so I kind of figured that the actual child-rearing part would suck. Law of averages, you know. Much to my surprise, Miles has been the most delightful baby. He is so sweet and easygoing. I seriously could not have asked for a more wonderful experience. One of the best parts of motherhood so far has been watching Matt bond with the baby. They have this really cute relationship that's totally unique to them. It's easy to see how much they adore each other. I love my boys!

I had to cut my baby's clothes off...

...because there was so much poop on them, that I didn't dare pull them off over his head!


Here is the happy boy after his bath


Even happier to be warm and cozy in his jammies


We love our baby Miles!

Post-Op Appointment

Well, It's been a week since my knee surgery, and time for my post-operation appointment with Dr. Marshall. I thought that when they took off my bandages, I would look terrible under them. It didn't look to bad at all. In fact, I was surprised at how good it did look. Anyway, they took off my bandages and cleaned up the area a little and sent me to get X-Rays. After that, they took out my stitches, which kinda hurt, and covered the spots with tape. They gave me a cool new brace that bends and makes me feel like Robo-Matt. Anyway, after my appointment I had to go get an ultrasound because the Dr. thought I may have had a blood clot. I don't have one thank goodness. So now, I am able to drive, work, shower, etc... but I will still be on crutches for 2 more weeks.
