My boys would have been 11 months apart - 8 months adjusted (that would have been fun to explain to strangers).
I wore my winter jacket for the first time this year yesterday. I felt something in my pocket. I reached in and found this:
It’s my arm band from Caleb’s last trip to Gwinnett. I put it back in my pocket. I’m not sure how I feel about finding it, but I like having it there. It’s a like a little piece of Caleb is with me. (I have little pieces of Nolan everywhere - from my hair that I don’t have time to dry before work, to the pictures of him on my fancy new phone, to the occassional spit-up on my clothes.)
Nolan will be 3 months old Monday. Can you believe that? 3 months! We’re taking him Saturday for his 3 months/Christmas card pictures. While we’re at the mall, we might as well stop by and visit Santa. (Unless the line is really long and full of crying screaming parents - and kids. I’m sure Saturday at lunch time will be the perfect time to go. I will need a BIG dose of patience.)
Mary Ann’s baby did not come Dec. 1 like I predicted. She will have a scheduled c-section tomorrow at 5 p.m.
E’s baby is doing well. He is in the NICU. The dr is guessing he will be there for 2-3 weeks. If he keeps doing well, he may be home by Christmas! I jealous and excited for E and her family.
I joined Curves last night. I was member there a few years ago, just before Cary and I got married. It is a good, easy workout. Perfect for people who haven’t worked out in a while - like me! I’m determined to lose my last 15 Caleb pounds and my last 15 Nolan pounds. You can really pack on the pounds with 2 pregnancy back-to-back - and it takes a ton longer to lose the weight when you don't breastfeed*.
I pretty sure 1/2 of you don't read anything I say. You just scan for pictures.
tummy time
He's not always a big fan of tummy time.
after tummy time
I can't believe how cute he is!
He had too much to eat and had to unbutton his jeans.
*I wrote a whole post about not breastfeeding one day and I decided no one cared, so I deleted it. Basically, breastfed Nolan = 4 pound Nolan; formula fed Nolan = 13 pound Nolan. I had issues with not having enough milk with Caleb, too.

Just like a man...even a little one...to have to unbutton his pants after a meal! I can't believe how incredibly cute he is! If I were you, I would leave Caleb's band in my pocket. I think I would miss it if I moved it. Love you, Mac
I am glad you found Caleb's bracelet. I think it is his way of letting you know how much he loves you! Looks like Nolan is growing like a weed, a fat little weed! Good for you on joining Curves, I need to get my butt to the gym too. I just feel too overwhelmed by everything right now. Good luck with the potraits- can't wait to see them!
I read everything you write... the pictures are purely a bonus.
And speaking of pictures - GOOD LORD, he is SO CUTE! I love the "not enjoying tummy time" picture; it's moments like that where you start to see their little personalities come out.
I read your posts, too:)
Don't worry about the not breastfeeding. Dorothy is half and half right now and I don't feel a bit bad. She's healthy and growing, and that is the most important thing to me.
