Dallas

We took Kiernan up to Dallas to see Bill's side of the family and introduce our newest addition. I call them my in-laws but they call themselves the outlaws! They crack me up. Bill is so close to them and they have taken a liking to me so it just works out perfect. We go see them all the time.
Beverly finally got up just in time to see us off. She was a bit sleepy!! Kiernan did very well because John does not like crying babies so the pressure was on to keep him quiet. :)

We had a blast and Bill got to fish and try out fly fishing. Uncle Donny and Aunt Colleen came to see KK too.

I finally did some more photos in his surf outfit.

This weekend the boys went to see Uncle John for some fishing. Me, KK and the dogs stayed home. I am cleaning and resting. Hope the boys have a blast!!

One Month Old

Got some really great pictures of Kiernan this morning when I told him he was one month old and so he had to do another photo shoot. I am trying to get him use to the camera since his mother is obsessed with pictures. The best ones I got were actually on my cell phone so we will see if they turn out if I try to blow them up.
Boy has time flown by. I feel like I have been at the doctor's a lot in this first month but I just want to make sure everything is ok. Kiernan has major acid reflux and total gas in his stomach all the time. It makes him extra fussy and can take a toll on his mommy. I feel helpless because the medicine just isn't instant relief for him. I feel so bad when he is grunting and struggling. Hopefully it will ease up as he gets older. He is a super good eater. He already weighs 9lbs 2ozs. YAY!!! Mommy's milk is working!! He does very well during the day and rides around in the car great while I do all my errands for work. Normally his worst times are 9pm-11:30pm and 3:30am-6:30am. His head is very strong and he always tries to hold it up. He is Mr. PEE too. Better watch out if you decide to change a diaper. :) Other than that I am super happy and proud and just hope his little tummy gets better and better each day. I will leave you with some pictures from this morning's photo session.

This was the last one I got. Guess he was trying to tell me he was DONE with the photo shoot!

TIRED

WOW........ Tired has been taken to a whole different level these days. Kiernan is having major gas problems and his little tummy is always unhappy. This makes for a bit of an unhappy baby which makes a tired mommy. I have tried lots of medicine and I think things are getting better but nights are extremely tough. He doesn't go down until 11:30 and wakes up at 4:00. That is his best stretch. Then after that it is every hour and just fussy. I keep hoping he is going to get better. Everyone has been so nice in trying to come up with different things that worked for them and I have been trying it. Life has been good though adjusting to mommyhood. He still makes me smile with all his funny faces.

Time is Flying

Time is flying by so fast. I have spent lots of time at the doctor these last three weeks. Everything is fine but just tons of appointments. I have yet to regain my strength and it is killing me. I am a very independent person and I really need my old self back. I have definitely had lack of sleep. Little Man wakes up almost like clockwork every two hours. But now for the happiness, I absolutely love this little boy. He makes me so happy and makes me want to be an awesome mother to him and be there for him.

HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE!!
