About Me

My photo
We have had this blog since 2009 now and I haven't wrote much in it. So this is just a blog about our life together as new parents. Matt and I worked together when a friend of ours set us up. We dated a week before we became engaged and in February 2012 we will celebrate our 3 year anniversary. Three days before our two year anniversary we welcomed our beautiful baby boy, Lucas Clint.

*Yawn*

Today has been quite the day. Luke didn't get to bed until after 4 am and slept until around 10. He was so cute today, he was smiling all morning. Matt had another job interview today and had Luke and i go with him. While he had his interview I went over to my work to talk to my boss about my schedule when I get back from maternity leave. I'm very glad to report that my boss was fine with me working only Fridays and Saturdays. I'll even get a longer shift during the day then I was. After Matt's interview we went to the rec center to workout. I have to say that Matt's army workout is a total pain but well worth it. All I know is that I'm going to feel it in the morning. Hopefully this will help me with my goal to get down to a size 7 or 9.

Long Day

Today was a very long day. Luke finally was able to go to sleep at 3 am, he was awake not even 30 minutes later coughing. It sounded like he was choking. Matt went and brought him in our room where Luke ended up sleeping. After Luke came in it was became a lot harder for me to sleep. Matt and I woke up at 5 am to go and do temple work. It was really nice to get out of the house and serve others. Ever since we got home, Luke has sounded like he's getting better. I really hope! Then after I woke up from the best, longest nap ever, Matt kept wanting me to do different things while Luke was napping. And I had no desire, which usually I have wanted to watch TV or play a game with him. But lately I haven't and I don't know why. I mean I have even had opportunities to spend time with my friends and just haven't wanted to. I think it worries Matt a lot, he keeps asking me if something is bothering me and I tell him no. I don't think he believes me but its true. I just don't know why i have been feeling this way and I wish I could make it better.

Worrisome

Luke has had very worried today. He's a month old and might be sick!!! This morning he woke me up at 7 am it sounded like he was choking. Matt told me that he hadn't seen someone move so fast. Luke is also congested and with it being RSV season, it has me concerned. I'm just hoping that there isn't anything wrong with him I mean it will be hard for me to handle if he is. On a positive note Matt has a job interview on Tuesday. I really hope he gets it that will help SO much. We have decided that I will be going back to work but will only work every Friday and Saturday. That way I can still keep my insurance and also be home with Luke. And its possible that we won't even need a babysitter which is what we are hoping!

4 am. SERIOUSLY?!

Mornings like today make me seriously question my abilities as a mother! I know that I've only been at it for 4 weeks and i shouldn't expect to be a pro at this, but I'm starting to think something is wrong with me. I tried to get Luke to go to bed from 12 am - 3:30 and nothing that I did would work. My husband wakes up and in minutes has Luke in his crib asleep. Its so frustrating! I still would rather stay home with Luke then have to go back to work in two weeks. Not that I don't like my job I do it's just that if I stayed at home it could be possible for me to start school next semester. I just don't know what to do.

Three weeks

Luke is three weeks old now, I still can't believe we have him. Everyday he makes me not want to go back to work in April. He's gained 11 ounces since march 11 and I couldn't be more thrilled! He was having trouble gaining and keeping weight on and it had me really worried. I've been trying to breastfeed him, but its like I'm not producing enough. And to be honest it has made me frustrated. Matt also thinks I might have postpartum depression. This past week Luke hasn't been sleeping like he started out, he's been wanting to stay up till 3 am! So after staying up until 4 am Saturday morning, I decided to try keeping Luke from having a nap longer then 20 minutes after 7 pm. Matt had been wondering if that was causing Luke to stay up, because he gets so tired after his 7 pm feeding. Well I have to say it worked at least better then Saturday morning. He ended up going to bed around 2 am, a lot better then before! However Luke might have colic which could also be causing his stellar sleeping habits. He is such a sweet little boy and his personality becomes more apparent everyday. Matt is so cute with Luke they already try to gang up on me, LOL.
