Thanksgiving Card

Since we have a little man to show off this year, we decided to send out Thanksgiving Cards.  Here is the card we made:

And the collage picture that we put on the inside:

The holiday season sure has a whole new meaning to it this year now that we have Drew in our lives!

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and remember

Thankful Thursday - Nine Months Later

We hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!  

Thank You and Announcements

Being the crafty Moms that we like to be, we made our own Thank You cards and Birth Announcements to celebrate the birth of our baby!   We had the announcements all made ahead of time and we just had to add the picture and stats on the inside.

Here is our Thank You:

our Birth Announcement:

and the picture we used in the Birth Announcement:

We have also made Thanksgiving cards, but Little Man isn't cooperating for pics, so we'll save that one for a later post.

We are still so in love!!!

Amazing....

According to our pediatrician, Drew is amazing - we have to agree!!  We took him for his 2 week appt today and he is back up to his birth weight and then some.  He also has already grown 1 1/4 inches.  He weighed 6lb 13 oz.  Our little man is growing so fast.  We told him he needs to stop!   He checked out perfectly and that is all we can ask for!

It truly has been an amazing (almost) 2 weeks with our little guy.  We just can't get enough of him and we love being his Moms!

Oh, I could just eat them  up............

400th Post

This is our 400th post!!!   It is nice to finally be Mamas 400 posts after beginning our blog!   It certainly makes the 4 years of TTC all worth it!

I took Drew to the Doctor's office who got us pregnant.  I figured that they worked just about as hard as we did for this little man and they needed to see the fruits of their labor!  They were all so happy that we stopped in and all took turns holding him and loving on him!

MJ had to go back to work today and it was a bummer.  We both missed her lots and lots!   My parents took this week off from work, so my Mom will come over for a few hours each day which is so nice!

We can't wait for next week - Thanksgiving will be so special this year!  Having Drew brings a whole new meaning to being thankful!

First Week

We have survived our first week at home with our little man.  We are so smitten with him and in many ways it seems like we have had him with us for more than just  a week.  We can't believe how much he changes each and every day.  He is already growing and changing to quickly for our liking.

Breastfeeding got off to a rocky start, but thanks to a wonderful visiting nurse who came to the house on Tuesday, he is now feeding like a champ!  It was great to have her come and spend time with us and give us some tips and tricks for feeding Drew.  He is eating every three hours and I am pumping with every other feed as well to make sure my supply is good.  In addition to feeding him, I have also been able to freeze 5 oz of milk a day.

MJ has to go back to work tomorrow and we are all very sad about that.  Luckily she only has to work this week and Monday of next week and then she has the rest of Thanksgiving week off.  She already told Drew that he couldn't do anything cute while she was gone and that he couldn't grow any more either.  We will both be anxiously awaiting her return tomorrow afternoon.

Of course, we need to share a couple of pics as well:

We can't believe we are lucky enough to be his Mom and Mama!!!
