Before I start this I think I should get several free bags of M&M's from the company for this free advertising (make it the peanut butter kind). My brother Aaron and I were bored and eating some M&Ms and we wondered if these "spring colors" were truly the correct hue and put them to the test.
We wandered the yard M&Ms in hand looking for the right colors and had great success. As you can see the spring pink M&M perfectly matches these Bleeding Hearts.
~~~~ And the Eye Spy game begins... Can you find the M&M in each picture? ~~~~
This last one was tricky because where do you find Robin Egg Blue out in nature other than in a Robin's nest? So we had to get creative. (No real robins nest were touched or harmed during the making of this game)
Here is a self portrait of me on Feb 6th four days before Ellie was born. As you can tell the door handle greatly exaggerated the size of my belly, bringing out a visual representation of the way I felt on the inside (which was XXXXXL). I'm glad that is over ha ha!
The past month for us has been quite the adventure. McKay started his job two days after she was born and he has a looong commute with no sleep. I have had mastitis three times with a fever of 104.5 and I have had a cold and gave the cold to Elliette too which was miserable. If i get mastitis again I'm either going to die or have a mastectomy. Not really but thats what i feel like. I guess when it rains it pours eh? But even though this is hard Im trying to enjoy the sweet little baby that we have before she grows up. So here you go, one month worth of pics and video.
When we got home from the hospital my brothers and sisters threw a coming home party for us complete with a oreo ice cream cake and a million balloons
She is still pink and jaundiced after we came home
McKay grew a freakin nasty mustache for his job at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I had to twist his arm to get him to shave it off. Maybe it had something to do with being attention deprived. :)
Her first bath didn't go over so well and here she is recovering from that traumatic experience
This is us trying to figure out how to get a baby to sleep at night...haha. McKay was not amused with me trying to take pictures
Ellie in her bouncy chair
Diapers and wipe gifts are cool beans
Does she look like me when I was a baby? I think not. I think she looks more like McKay
Diaper duty! From these pictures it looks like McKay does all the work around here. I can assure you that I pull my load. It's just im the only one who takes pictures so i cant get them of myself (not that you would want to see what i look like at this moment anyways.)
Bath time is the best!!
Ellie Belly!!
She sure hates being cold afterwards
Snuggle time! I'm sure I will miss this when she gets bigger
"Hey Aunt Maren do you recognize this outfit? Thanks for the clothes!"
We Skype with Braiden and Sharon every now and then to talk. Needless to say it is very easy to get distracted when you have this going on in the background haha!
