He's two months old now! He's growing so fast I can't believe it. We had our doctor's appointment for shots :( it was rough for Asher and for mom but we both got threw it just fine. He now weighs 11 lbs 9 oz... He has gained 3 1/2 lbs in 4 weeks... so as you can see breast feeding is going great!

He's already a month old I can't believe it. I love watching this little man grow! He is definitely getting his own personality and I love trying to figure him out. I know that if he's tired he wants me, if he wants to be entertained he wants his dad. But ninety percent of the time he has this beautiful smile on his face. Now that he is here I couldn't imagine my life without him. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has given us this perfect little angel to take care of. We love him so much!
The final stretch.. 35 weeks and counting.. I feel very big and very tired. I have definitely had my meltdowns here and there. My brain and my body are fighting with each other. My brain tells me I can still hike up hills and do all the things i did before and my body is telling me no with pretty intense contractions and swollen ankles. Also, these past couple of weeks i have really put on the pounds almost all of my clothes don't fit. My legs look massive and all of my shirts are too short and my lower belly shows. Sweat pants and tank tops are my best friend :) My first mother's day and Lex made it a wonderful one. He has meetings all morning at church so when he leaves i usually get up and get in the shower. When I got out I found these beautiful flowers and such a sweet card he wrote for me. I sat on my bed in my towel and read the card, it was such a beautiful card and made all of my worries and stresses melt away. My in laws also bought me a card and a very beautiful bracelet. Mother's Day was so great! All set up for my little man. Putting this stuff together was so fun! These babies must know something is going on. Today Jack has followed me around everywhere and if I am sitting on a chair or anywhere for that matter Jack jumps on my lap and puts his face on my shoulder. They both are attached to my hip... I don't know what they are going to do when the baby is here.
My cake from my baby shower. Unfortunately, this is the only picture i have from my baby shower. I guess this was the most exciting thing to me :) It was delicious and the shower was amazing!
I could look at these pics all day... Actually I am pretty sure I have! I just love his little face, those lips are to die for, he is just so precious. I was so afraid that he was going to be in a position where we weren't going to be able to see him and i couldn't really feel him moving when we showed up but while we were in the room Elaine(our ultrasound tech) was kind of moving him around to kind of wake him up. In a couple of pictures he would have a little frown on his face, poor baby. Sure enough she got him to wake up and he was definitely awake. He was kicking a punching, Elaine would kind of laugh because he would kick so hard so could feel it while taking the pics. Also, his hands would only leave his face for a few seconds and if they weren't in the way his umbilical cord was. I loved seeing him and it just makes it more real to me that in 3 months our little man will be here. I can't wait to hold him and kiss his little lips!! It's crazy how much you can love someone that you haven't even met yet.
