Another Day, Another Week!

Another week has come and gone in the life of our little family! Things are going well so far although Brayden decides to party every morning between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6 a.m., which makes for a sleepy mom and dad. Other than that, things have been going great! :)

Here's a glimpse at our week so far...

The flowers are blooming in my flower bed and I love it...although the weeds need to be pulled SO bad. I notice them every time I walk through and can't help but cringe. However, they will have to wait!

This past weekend, Brayden had his first major outing and visit to my favorite restaurant, McAlisters! So much fun!!

We also took his newborn pictures last week (when he turned 2 weeks old) and this is a "sneak peak" from my photographer was sent to me a few days ago. Adorable! 

Speaking of adorable, that face. I could just stare at him for hours!

...and speaking of staring...I spy a pair of doggie eyes on me! :) Little beggar! 

I also might have eaten a little pizza this weekend. My eating habits got so off track during my third trimester...it's time to get them back where they need to be!

As happy as I am to have Brayden here, I can't help but be a little sentimental at the phase of my life that has now ended. Although I'm glad to have more space in his closet now, it was bittersweet to pack up my maternity clothing over the weekend. I AM keeping them though...you never know what the future holds! :)

Madalynn spied an old friend on one of our walks last week. We haven't seen horsey-friend in a long time! 

This sweet little boy turned 3 weeks old this past Tuesday. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! On his three week birthday, we visited my work/American Cancer Society Friends and had dinner with my parents. It was such a jam packed day, he was worn out by the time it was all said and done!

He's such a snuggly baby, too...I just love it! 

I managed to get away for a few hours this week to shop for bridesmaids dresses. A friend of mine is getting married soon and I wanted to wait a few weeks for the extra baby swelling to go down before trying on a dress. Although it is a tad bit snug, I was able to order my "normal" size which made me super happy! I made the decision not to go with the larger size because it was a little too big and I know by the time I get to running again in a few weeks, the dress will fit even better!

Over the past few weeks, two birds have been building a nest in one of our plants off the back deck. I was finally able to see the fruits of their hard work - four speckled eggs! It's going to be fun to watch these hatch, grow, and fly off on their own! I just have to keep Madalynn out...crazy dog.

That pretty much sums up our past week! Hope you've had a great one! :)
