Happy Halloween!! (tomorrow)

So I haven't really had much to Blog about lately! I feel like I need to get with the program! I am starting to feel a little better. We finally found out what was wrong with me... just to fill you in. I always extremely tired (even more than normal for new moms), I was gaining weight pretty quickly (while on a good diet/going to the gym) and I just wasn't feeling up to par. I talked to my doctor and she did some blood tests... I found out I have a little bit of a thyroid problem. I guess the range for a healthy thyroid is like .3-5. In October of 2007 I was at 1.7 which is still pretty low. In October 2008 I am now at .17 (huge drop!) I was referred to an endocrinologist and have an appointment on November 6. So hopefully we get this taken care of. I am ready to feel back to normal..

We are excited to take Austin out for his first trick or treating expedition tomorrow night! Although he probably won't remember ha! Here is my little man in his horsey costume...

Also, Blake was extremely excited to be the Joker from Dark Knight... as was every other boy in Boise... this costume was sold out everywhere.. I had to order little pieces here and there off the internet... not bad though I must say. He looks pretty convincing!Jeff and I are celebrating the first part of our anniversary tonight and going to the Martin Sexton concert and dinner. Melissa is watching Austin alone for this first time.. ha what a proud Aunty!! She will do great. Austin loves his Aunt Melissa! Well have a safe Halloween...

A Few More Favorites!!

Ok.. so I am going to have to show off my son again.. this is his blog right?? He is so adorable! I just can't get over it. Here they are and I better get back to being mom. Austin doesn't feel too good after his shots yesterday : (



Have an awesome weekend!!

P.S. It's almost been 1 year since I found out I was pregnant! CRAZY. Our 1 year anniversary is already on 11.03.08! Time flies!!

Take Care.

Austin's First Photoshoot!

Ok so I FINALLY got Austin's pictures taken! I am so happy with them. I will post a few that I have already but I should get the disk on Friday or Saturday with all of them... he is such a little angel.

Just an update... we went to his doctor's appt. today! He weighs 15lbs 10oz! Holy cow I know... he is a big boy. He is 24 inches long and growing... he also got shots today which was sad but he is still taking a nap.. the crying wore him out! Enjoy the pics...

I am Horrible at this!!!

I am such a slacker... I need to start posting on here more. It is crazy how much the day gets ahead of me now that I am full-time mommy! Austin is growing so fast and getting so chunky it is absolutely adorable! He is such a talker and I can tell that he just wants to say something so bad. I am still waiting for my husband to buy me a new video camera so I can film it... The things I love most about Austin right now are our long coversations and him laughing and smiling. He completely melts my heart! I am going to get his pictures taken on Monday finally!! I am a slacker there too. I just now ordered our wedding pics and that was like almost a year ago! I will post his pics once I get them back. The photographer is amazing (from what I have seen) I am sooo excited to see my little guy in all the photos!

Austin turned 2 months old on September 22 and we are going in for his two month checkup on Wednesday... I will be surprised at how much weight he has gained. I feel like I am carrying a brick in the carseat. I should definitely have bigger muscles by now...

Here are some more recent random pics of Austin! I will put his pictures up from our photo session as soon as I get them back!
