i'm still here!

i'm still here... is anyone still kicking around?

adam is going to be 3 months old on wednesday.  time is flying at warp speed and i'd do just about anything to slow it down.  i think of my american friends often having to go back to work so quickly and feel very lucky every day to have a full year off with our little man.

adam is babbling up a storm these days.  he's about as chunky as a 3 month old can be.  he weighed in at 13.5lbs at his 2 month check in and i'm dying to see where he's at now (next dr. appt is this wed).   he's delightfully rolly and chunky and when he smiles at me, nothing else matters!  he's teased us with many nights of sleeping through the night only to follow them up with a night where he's up 8 or more times.  such is the life of a new mom...sigh.

i've been spending my time being his mom and nearly no time on the computer and its been nice.  that said, its been awesome catching up with all of you as well.  i've still got a bunch of you to check in on.  i'm going to try to catch up with everyone a little more frequently now (we have a new computer which makes everything a lot easier).

we're in heavy talks for baby number 2 already.  turning 40 is no longer that far off.  november 1 will be here before i know it so we've got to get some plans in motion.   i'm meeting with dr. love briefly in august to talk about when the best time for our FET is and what i should be doing between now and then to get my body ready for the roller coaster of pregnancy again (hopefully!).   we don't plan on actually doing a FET until sometime in feb/2012 as i'm going to continue breastfeeding until the end of oct and then i'm going to give my body a well deserved break (and fill it with as much beer and wine as i can for a few months!) before we throw ourselves back into trying.

so, all in all, life is good.  no, its fantastic!
