A Restful Weekend

We had a really good weekend. Lorne's parents came Thursday evening and stayed until yesterday afternoon. We didn't do much, but it was fun to see them with Sawyer and watch how much they enjoy spending time with him. He was loving them too I think. He smiled at them every chance he got! He really is a ham!

I got so much rest. It was wonderful! I would feed Sawyer and then Velma would hold him while I took a nap. It really came in handy in the mornings. She was a great help! I also got help in the kitchen. We got Dickey's BBQ one night, I cooked one night, Lorne and Larry barbecued Saturday, and Velma made chicken and dumplings. Food was definitely a group effort. It was also wonderful to eat meals on time and to turn around and notice that my dishwasher had been emptied! Thanks Velma! :)

We went to Kohl's so that I could get something to wear to Brandon and Deanna's wedding next weekend. I knew going in that it would be depressing, but I wasn't quite prepared. I can't wait to get this weight off so that I can wear my size eight pants again! It's hard to believe that I was really that size once. I am determined for it to happen again.

We're going back Wednesday to get weighed again. I'll go to Weight Watchers where I will hopefully have lost and then it will be Sawyer's turn to brave the scale. My hope is that he is continuing to gain! :) We were able to stay on a great feeding schedule this weekend so I am hoping that will be the case in the weekends to come too. We're having company for the next three weekends! I am really excited to see so much family at once!

I can't wait for Thursday!! Matthew, Jackie, Mark, and Darbi will be here! I can't believe that it has been almost eight months since I've seen my little brother and new sister-in-law! I can't wait for Mark and Darbi to see Sawyer. I KNOW that they're going to love him! The boys are going to have a busy weekend since they're in Brandon and Deanna's wedding, but hopefully we'll have some time together on Sunday and Monday until they have to go back home. I will cherish any time that we have since I don't know when we'll all be together again. Mom and Dad will be here in time for the wedding and are staying Saturday night too.

I took some pictures of Sawyer in his bouncer seat. We added the little attachment that plays music and makes noises and blows bubbles. It has a neat setting that makes the sound effects when the baby kicks the seahorse and fish that hang down from it. I don't think Sawyer has any idea that he's making it happen, but he will in a matter of time I'm sure.

Here are those pictures:


He loves to look at the yellow star. The bubbles rise and spin the star and make the fish kiss.


Sawyer takes his bouncing time very seriously!
