Valentines! (I know a long time ago)

I know Valentines was a while ago and somehow this fell through the cracks but I wanted to post this because I have the most amazing husband! Well this month has been absolutely crazy especially Scotty's school schedule, it has definitely been the worst month to date with way too many tests. So we had decided with a new baby and a Biochem final the next day and my sisters also flying in the next day that it was taking the back seat this year. But of course as you can see Scotty loves surprises, and of course had to do something for me. We had decided no gifts this year but to my surprise he had to out do me again. I had been in the shower and he came up and gave me a rose and I was happy with just that, but when I went to go put it in water he had left me this. He gave me a willow tree statue with a mom holding her little boy which of course being the emotional person I am I cried. Also he gave me a pump so on the weekends he can get up with baby so I can have a full nights sleep. Then the best part he told me he wasn't studying the rest of the night and he took me to dinner, and then we watched a movie at home so it was a pretty awesome night. I LOVE HIM!

I have never felt so blessed!

My friend Brianne sent this to me and I cried for about an hour. Like I said in the title I have never felt so blessed to have a healthy baby! This reminded me that I need to always thank my Heavenly Father for everyday that I have with my sweet little Barrick. http://www.ignitermedia.com/products/iv/singles/570/99-Balloons

Two Months!

Well today Barrick is now two months old and WOW how time flies!! It makes me sad to think how fast these two months have gone and I know it will just keep going faster.

Well Friday morning was his two month appt. and I was terrified I was so nervous for him to get his immunizations. Thankfully Scotty was able to come so he could be in there with Barrick. Well all I have to say is we have a tough little guy, when they did the shots at first it took him off guard and he just grunted, then after they were all finished he cried for about a minute then was done. So it definitely made me feel better. He was also weighed and measured and he has grown so much! When we brought him home from the hospital he weighed 4 lbs. 12 ounces and now he weighs 10 lbs 9 ounces! He went from not even on the charts for his weight to 25th percentile, and he stayed the same in height which is also 25th percentile. So we have a healthy little guy.

Just an example of how much he has grown, the preemie outfit on the right was too big for him when we brought him home and now he wears the one on the left! Crazy!

We also took some pictures of his little legs with his band aids. After we went home he had a rough day (when he was awake he couldn't stop crying, and when he slept he whimpered). He still wanted to be happy, so he was sort of half cry-smiling all day. Oh so sad!!!

Barrick finally felt better that night so we got these pictures right before he went to bed. He was definitely a trooper!

More Family Fun!

This weekend Scotty and I were lucky enough to have three of Barricks aunts come into town Ariane, Angie and Andrea. They flew in Friday night and left Tuesday afternoon and I would have to say it went way too fast! He was spoiled with hugs and kisses all weekend and I think I loved it just as much as he did.

Pictures with his aunts before they had to leave.

We were taking pictures of Barrick and he was so happy these were two of my favorites.

Isn't his smile so cute!

This is a picture of the girls before we went into DC.

Barrick with his aunts in DC it was a little too cold to have him out of his seat.

Barrick sleeping with his aunt Ariane he actually did this a couple of times with all of them.

Over all this weekend was so much fun we had fun talking and hanging out and just spending time together. Scotty definitely got his estrogen fill for the weekend but we were very sad to see them go. We not only need to thank them for coming out but also their husbands for taking off work and watching all of their kids. Thanks for making it a special memory we will never forget!

First day at church!

Well yesterday was the first day we took Barrick to church and it was a good day! I was a little nervous about taking him out with so many people around but it was great!! Scotty loved it because I am in primary and didn't want Barrick in there, so Scotty had the baby all through church and he loved it! He had a blast showing him off to everyone.

Barrick in his cute church outfit!

Barrick and Daddy!

He had to have one with mommy too!

Also Barrick kept doing this all day yesterday he would grab onto Scottys mouth and keep it there forever and we thought it was pretty cute! I know it had nothing to do with the post, but I thought it was to cute to pass up.

Happy Birthday Scotty!

Well the eighth was Scottys Birthday and what a fun day. It started out with a fun morning hanging at home with me and Barrick, then he went to school. He read his schedule wrong and wore clothes to school that he couldn't have for some of his classes, so he came straight home! Of course he studied most of the day but he was home and I loved it! We then played wii together with his new game I gave him, then our friends Brady and Lauren came and brought Scotty a present and we went to dinner at Joes Crab Shack, then came home and played games.

Scotty and Barrick together on his Birthday I love this picture they even match!

Scotty and I at the restaurant with his cute crab bib on. Of course he was so happy to be eating seafood it is his favorite!

Scotty getting ready to eat his crab as you can see he was pretty excited because he only gets seafood twice a year his birthday and Valentines because I am not the biggest seafood fan.

Scotty with Brady and Lauren, they gave him chargers for our wii remotes. Thanks guys!

Fun Family Weekend!

As you can see this weekend we were lucky enough to have our Stewart family out here and we had a blast! They came in on Wednesday and stayed until Sunday and what a fun time we had. As you can see Barrick was spoiled by his Gma, Gpa and his uncle Daniel. We had a lot of fun we were able to show them Scottys school, we went into DC one day (Scotty couldn't go he had to study) and went to a couple of the monuments and the Holicost Museum, and the rest of the time we played games and hung out at home and just spent time together.

Also the 8th is Scottys birthday so we had a little party for him while our family was here and we had birthday cake and played games all night! (Scottys favorite)

Another birthday picture we wish Barrick was in it but he was in bed. Anyways thanks for coming out and spoiling us with fun this weekend!
