2 Months!

Teague has his two month check up tomorrow, complete with several vaccinations. (And I have to go alone, David is at work.) Hopefully he won't get too upset with the shots, and we can get a few questions that we have answered. Like, is there a reason that he screams for upwards of 6 hours a day? Pretty much if he is awake he is screaming. I feel like I'm a horrible mother who can't figure out what is wrong with him, but I have exhausted everything I know. Should it take Teague at least an hour and a half to 3 hours to finish a four ounce bottle? That's another question I have. He has to be hungry, we will have been out running errands and I pump when we get home since he fell asleep in his car seat (meaning it is finally quiet), when he wakes up it takes him forever to eat what I have pumped.

I spend my days trying to console my crying son, which is bad for the sewing, but good for the weight loss, since there is no time to eat. I have lost over 15 pounds! (That's not including all of the pregnancy weight, total would be about 37 pounds!) I would like to lose 30 more (I would settle for 15, but why settle), and then in April complete the Doc Spackman Triathlon at SIU. This is the shortest triathlon known to man, so I feel I can do it. The only thing that scares me is the run. I have NEVER run anywhere in my life. There, I have said it publicly, I am going to complete a triathlon!



Just a current picture of Teague, for anyone who cares. This is one of the rare moments where he is not screaming! And is acne is clearing up, finally!

Teague is here!

So Teague is officially here. Actually he has been here for 6 weeks now. We have been loving him more and more everyday. He arrived on July 31st at 6:35 p.m. after a lengthy induction that resulted in an emergency c-section. My perfectly planned labor and delivery went out the window from before we even got to the hospital.







We have already gone on a vacation with him. Okay it was only up to my parents house for the week. But still after an 8+ hour car ride with a four week old and two dogs I feel we can call it a vacation. The Du Quoin state fair was going on so Teague enjoyed his first fair experience. I'm not sure if he liked as much as I enjoyed being home, he slept through most of it. (Which is unfair in its self, he doesn't sleep that much at home.)





I haven't had much of an opportunity to sew, hopefully I can get some done tomorrow when David gets home from work. I have this quilt for Teague that needs to be bound.




There are so many projects that I need to finish. I have a new nephew on his way in January, so I need to start working on his quilt. I have a couple of fabric and pattern options, but I'm not sure which one will be declared the winner for baby nephew.
