Exciting weekend ahead

Aaron is getting baptized this weekend. While T isn't baptized at all, I am and it is important to me that the little guy is as well.

So, we're having family over for a BBQ after, which means housecleaning and making of food all day tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how I manage this with a baby wanting my attention every 2 minutes.

Oh, and this week was a great week. Why? Because Aaron and I met some long awaited new friends for lunch. The other 2 babies are very close in age to Aaron, the one on the left is 2 weeks older, the one beside us is 2.5 months old. This will likely be the first of many meetings for all of us. :)

4 month appointment

Today was A's 4 month appointment. After I asked the doctor a bajillion and one questions (flu shots, h1n1, solids etc.), the little dude got his 4 month shots.

He did SO well. After the 1st one, he cried for literally 2 seconds, and then the second one went in and he looked at me like "is that all you got? Bring it on!" Oh, my brave little boy. :)

4 month stats: 27 inches long (21 at birth)

16 lbs (8lbs 9oz at birth).

So not only has he grown 6 inches, he's doubled his birthweight. No wonder my freaking back is a mess. And it's only going to get worse!

We're going to start cereal tomorrow. I would start today, but his little body has had enough foreign agents being inserted in it today.

The best news of all though, is that Dr.B listened to his heart. And he couldn't hear the murmur anymore! Woot! I just hope it's not a fluke and it has indeed grown over. We go back to the pediatrician in November and he'll have a listen then. If HE can't hear it, then we'll be sent for another echocardiogram to confirm it's grown over. Oh, please let it be grown over.

Anyway, now the fun part begins. Solid food. We're going to start with rice cereal. Then in 2 or 3 weeks we'll start on veggies. I'll be sure to capture every face contortion Little Dude does when trying foods for the first time. Should be HILARIOUS.

The newest trick

The newest trick A has learned is raspberries. He does it all.the.time.

Can I tell you how much I'm looking forward to teaching him to eat solids now that he does this? Not very much.

Shall I don my plastic suit now?

My happy boy

Then.... and now.

Let's play a little game. Then and Now.

THEN...September 6, 2008

NOW...September 6, 2009
What a difference a year makes!!

It was one year ago today that Trevor didn't believe the faint pink line, and I ran out to shoppers drug mart to get a digital test and it came up "pregnant". Little did we know what the next year would have in store for us.

But look what we got out of it... a beautiful baby boy.

Motherhood makes me sappy

I'm listening to my blog playlist. I put songs on it that are related to the blog, to motherhood and my life in general. For example, PUSH was our first dance at our wedding. The others, well, they're songs that make me think of Aaron.

And I had forgotten I had put this particular song on it.

Prepare to weep.

"It's Your Song"[written by Benita Hill, Pamela Wolf]

Standing in the spotlight

On such a perfect night

Knowing that your out there listening

I remember one time

When I was so afraid

Didn't think I had the courage

To stand up on this stage

Then you reached into my heart

And you found the melody

And if there ever was somebody

Who made me believe in me

It was you

It was you

It was your song that made me sing

It was your voice that gave me wings

And it was your light that shined

Guiding my heart to find

This place where I belong

It was your song

Every night I pray

Before the music starts to play

That I'll do my best and I won't let you down

And for all the times I've stood here

This feeling feels brand new

And any time I doubt myself I think of you

'Cause It was your song that made me sing

It was your voice that gave me wings

And it was your light that shined

Guiding my heart to find

This place where I belong

It was your song

Dreams can come true

With God's great angels like you

It was your song that made me sing

It was your voice that gave me wings

And it was your light that shined

Guiding my heart to find

This place where I belong

It was your song

It was your song

It's always been your song

First solo overnight flight

Ok, so not a flight. But A and I are on our own tonight and all day tomorrow.

He hasn't been sleeping well the last couple of nights. He's awaken at 3am and 2am the last 2 nights wanting food. I think it's a growth spurt.

I just pray he doesn't wake tonight. Mommy is tired.

We have our baptism preparation mass and meeting this week on Wednesday. Should be interesting to have him in church. Particularly because it starts at his bedtime. He should be a real peach. *eyeroll*

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Who knows. I might have to get up in 4 hours.
