Nursery

I finally feel like Remy's nursery is complete.  I know I've posted pictures before but there have been a few important additions to the room so I wanted to share the final project!!  Gosh I love how his room turned out!  And in less than 2 weeks we plan to move Remy from our bedroom to his nursery so he'll finally start using it!

Big Boy!

Remy is growing way too fast!  He's been a little too big for his bassinet for a few weeks now and I wasn't ready to move him upstairs quite yet.  My goal was to move him into his nursery when he's 10 weeks.  So, since he is only 7 weeks and is too big for his bassinet I decided to take it off his pack-n-play.  Now he just sleeps in his pack-n-play and he seems to be happier in it.  He has much more room to kick and he can actually stretch out his legs!  

Time is going by too fast... very soon he'll be all the way upstairs in his crib!  :'( 

Holy Vomit

Last night Remy was soooo good!  He let me sleep for 8 1/2 hours (which I needed desperately)!!!  I woke up at 7:45 and he was just hanging out in his bassinet, happy as can be.  I fed him like usual and he proceeded to throw up all of his breakfast 2 seconds after feeding him.  No big deal since I had to change him out of his jammies anyways.  So, I changed him (into the cutest outfit ever) and he proceeded to throw up for a second time.  That outfit was in the dirty bin in less than 20 minutes.  The third outfit for the day didn't last long either.  Another major vomit.  This time it ended up in his hair, all over himself, the couch and myself.  So, to the bath it was!  Now we are on our 4th outfit and I decided we were going to have a jammy day.

Happy as can be 2 seconds before vomiting over outfit #2:

Exhausted after vomiting all over?  Hopefully these jammies last longer.

 

Well, it's been a few hours since all the vomit and outfit changes so I'm guessing he's ok.  Poor little guy must not have felt very good.  :(  But there was no tears or fussing.  Apparenlty he just wanted me to do laundry today. 

Bittersweet

Friday night was my first time away from Remy (for more than 15 mins).  The last Twilight movie came out Friday night so my gal pals and I went out for dinner and then to the movie.  Leaving Remy for the first time was bittersweet.  I was excited to hang out with my friends without all the kids around and have some actual grown up talk but I also missed him terribly and wondered if he was doing okay with Phil.  I know Phil can take care of him just fine but still...  I wasn't there.  I did pretty good I think.  I cried when I was leaving and on my way to meet the girls but when I got there all was fine.  I thought about him the entire night though so it was hard for me to concentrate on our conversations and the movie.  I'll get better, I promise.  The first time is hard though!  Why is it so hard for the mother to leave her baby for the first time and the fathers don't have a hard time at all and don't get why we do?  I mean look at this face!!

Thank god he was still awake when I got home.  I ran in the house, dropped my shit and grabbed him out of Phil's arms.  Haha.  Next time I leave him will be on Friday when I go Black Friday shopping.  I'll be away probably twice as long!!!  Ugh.  Oh well, it's helping me to prepare for when I go back to work.  At least the first few times I'm leaving him it's for something fun.

On a different note, I forgot I had little booties for him that rattled when he kicks.  I put them on him yesterday and he seemed to really like them!  He was kickin up a storm.  :)

 

Happy Boy

Not a very attractive picture of me in my "I don't give a crap hair-do" but I just had to share it because Remy is way too cute for his own good!  He's such a happy boy.  It seems like his favorite part of the day is getting his diaper and outfit changed in the morning.  I personally think he just likes to get naked.  Every time he smiles it just melts my heart.  I cannot stinkin wait until he starts laughing!

Newborn Pics!!

I just got Remy's newborn pictures and my maternity pictures back today!  My wonderful, talented friend Jess Arco took them and did an amazing job, as always (her facebook page and her blog).  Here are just a few of my favorites (it was hard to pick just a few)!

Me about to burst:

Remy's newborn pictures were taken when he was a week old.  I can't believe how much he has changed and grown since then!  I love my boy!!!!

New Discovery

Remy has just discovered his hands and is learning how to use them!  It's like it just hit him today that they are attached to him and he can control them.  Now he puts his hands in his mouth constantly.  He actually tries to fit his entire fist in his mouth.  Haha.  Silly boy.  :)
