Family Update

The past week has been busy for us. We have had so many fun things going on, and so many challenges and accomplishments. Last Thursday we took Camden to the zoo for the first time. I signed up for the membership so we can go anytime we want now! It was really fun. I know that Camden will not remember it, but I sure loved getting out in the beautiful weather and enjoyed just walking through the zoo. Jackie is in town so she spent the day with us at the zoo and spent a lot of time just snuggling with Camden!

Friday was Wesley's last day of finals so Camden and I were so excited to finally have him all to ourselves after he finished up. We went to his parents house that night for dinner and then spent some time in their hot tub...something I was not able to do when I was pregnant :) While we were out in the hot tub, Wesley's mom held Camden in the house for us...I joked that it was the first time we needed a babysitter! I ended up only staying outside for like 15 minutes because I didn't want to be away from Cam for very long...and he was hungry and had peed all over his clothes, so it was a good excuse to come back in the house to snuggle with him.

Saturday night we spent time with our good friends Scott and Brianne. We went to sushi with them and then came home and the boys played video games while us girls stared at Camden for hours! I really enjoyed telling Brianne all about motherhood and the experiences I have had up to this point. I can't wait for Brianne to become a mommy someday, she will be such a great mom! She is ready, Scott ;) Wink wink!!

Sunday morning was rough. I woke up with a clogged milk duct, a fever, and a grumpy baby boy who wanted to eat all day long. I felt miserable, and the only way to clear the clogged duct was to continually nurse. This worked out well for Cam who I think hit a growth spurt because he ate all day long and eventually worked out the clog. For those of you who have never experienced this, I hope you never have to! It was sooo painful. Not only that, but having a fever makes you feel like you have the flu. Thankfully Wesley was home with us all day, and we just stayed in bed as a family for pretty much the entire day. Wesley brought me all my meals in bed as we listened to the rain and napped for the rest of the day.

Monday I woke up feeling sooo much better! We decided to run some errands for Wes and clothes shop for me! I saved all my gift cards from Christmas and my birthday to use to buy post pregnancy clothes. I am still not at my desired weight, but I am back in my size small clothes. It feels good to try on clothes in my size again and have them actually fit! I found a few things while we were out and a fabulous pair of shoes!

The rest of this week we have had a few visitors, we are spending quality family time together with just the 3 of us, running errands, cleaning up the house, and just loving the time Wesley has off school.
