 General

 Carson is such a sweet and good baby! He's pretty calm and usually only fusses when he's tired, hungry or needs a diaper change. He's starting to smile and coo! Oh I just love those baby noises, they are the sweetest! He found his hands this week and sucks on them, when he can get them. His cheeks just keep getting bigger and better. They are so cute!

Sleeping

For the first 7 weeks it's been pretty random which I expected. Day time naps I don't care about as much but I was yearning for more predictability at night. Carson was getting up to eat 3 or 4 times a night consistently then more in between to be soothed back to sleep. Just this last week, 4 out of 7 nights he's gotten up to eat twice and one night he only ate once! Not sure if this is a trend but I'm going to appreciate it while it lasts! There has been a couple times where after I feed him at 3am he's just wide awake staring at me. Then I have to spend 30 minutes rocking him back to sleep. 


Breastfeeding

 Honestly there's not much to say here, everything is going well. He still takes a bottle and loves eating. He eats every 3 hours, sometimes 2 during the day if he's clustering. During the night he's gone 4 or 5 hours. He's not much of a snacker and gets really mad if I try feed him when he's not hungry or if I try to 'top him off'. 
Postpartum

 I had my 6 week checkup and have been cleared for normal activity. I feel better than I did last recovery and feel totally back to normal, just with less muscle mass haha. I started Kayla Itsines postpartum workout to slowly get back into it and regain some muscle. I haven't had hardly any anxiety this round which has been amazing. I think having Dan home for so long and having family around to help after he went back to work made such a huge difference for me. I'm so thankful for all the help I got!

We had a lot going on this weekend! Some good. Some bad. I woke up to this Friday the morning What a great way to start a Friday morning without work! I seriously have the kindest man ever. He's so thoughtful After he got out of class and before I had class we snuck in a last minute temple session . Who knew it would be so packed on a Friday mid day! I rushed (because I hate being late) but it was so worth it once you get there and just feel peace . That evening after classes and homework, we drove down to Idaho Falls for a family BBQ the evening before Logan and Amanda got married . The BBQ was great and I loved seeing all my family and meeting some of Amanda's family. I even got a picture with Sister Bullock :) All while this was happening my parents were supposed to be making the trip to IF and be there for the BBQ. I had heard briefly from my mom that Dad wasn't able to get off work and that they would be late. Then it got the point they wou

This is Important

So I've given this a lot of thought and with some advice from Dan the man, we've decided to go ahead and make our blog private from now on. This means that only those whose emails are on my readers list can view it. WHY Lately I've been thinking about the publicity and the openness of the internet and I don't want my security and my family's security to be a worry because the things I post on my blog. I realized that the reason I am blogging is; 1) For me as a journal and to record and read back on fun memories and 2) So family and friends can stay in contact and feel like we're apart of each other's lives even when we're far apart. Although the page views of all my Facebook friends and others reading my blog has been really nice (I'll admit, I like the numbers) I've realized that I enjoy some privacy more. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? This means that if you would like to continue reading our blog that I am going to need your email address

  Love My boys! Nate's face! Brooks being silly Another round of sickness in our house. Brooks always seems to get a headache, spike a fever, pass out somewhere and wake up later feeling most of the way better. This time we ended up getting cold symptoms afterwards. When I got sick I was tested and whatever it is it's not covid. Dan got it last and was sick into February. It was lingering so he tested again and it was again negative. So whatever we had was mild, still not fun and stuck around forever. We have this cute bible book about Noah's ark. Carson starts looking at it and pointing to Noah says, "Santa Claus!" Oh. yes I can see how you think that haha. So we kept telling him no, it's Noah. He points to Noah's wife and says, "Mama!" hahaha so I'm either Noah's wife (they look very old in the book) or Mrs. Claus. Not sure whether to be offended or not haha! We sold our small freezer and upgraded to this beauty! I love it! I love being
