Planning trips for the year 2012
So I'm turning 30 in June and since I was not able to go to a beautiful beach last year I asked to go to Cabo...made it really easy on Doug, right?
Well, he wants to go to Alaska for our wedding anniversary in July-- 5 years already! Yes, I agree that is a very cool trip. He even agreed to make it a cruise. He's gone on many in the past, however I have not. He does not like cruises, so I appreciate him for trying on this idea. Plus we'll get to leave out of Seattle, and I've always wanted to check out that city! Going in the summer will hopefully give us some reprieve from the hot weather I know we'll be having in Houston.
AND we want to go to Disney in November. WITHOUT our kids...I know, its blasphemous! We're going for a half-marathon, and since we both want to run, we surely cannot afford to take someone with us to babysit our two boys. So, they will have to stay home. Did I mention the Wine Fest going on the same time we'll be there. So of course, not the best place for children, right?

So...since I will likely not be 'beach ready' in June--I was not one of those who dropped weight super-quick by breastfeeding, I couldn't really start losing til I stopped breastfeeding at 6 months unfortunately--I think I'll lean towards the Alaska trip. I can workout on the ship, right?

Happy 5 weeks!
Weight: 11 lbs, 2 oz (via my American Red Cross Infant Scale)Eats: Breastmilk only. During the day I put him to the breast and at night he gets expressed breastmilk via Nuk bottles. He takes between 4-6 oz.
Diapers: Size 1
Clothing size: 3 month
OTC: Bio-gaia probiotic infant drops. My at-home visit from the lactation consultants suggested this as she had a child with huge amounts of gas and the child's GI doc recommended it.
Rx: Finishing up our rx of 5 days worth of amoxicillin today!

Happy Birthday Elliot Samuel!
My sister-in-law Lindsey had the newest edition to the family! On that side of our family there are now 5 grandsons 3 and under! Phew...like my father-in-law says...a deer lease is in their future!
He was a chunk too! 9 lbs, 1 oz...and no c-section! She did go past her dates and was able to go into labor on her own. He's now a citizen of Washington D.C. I think special privileges go with that...well, he can't vote for the U.S. President, right? Not sure if that's a priviledge...hmmm...
