Five for Fridays
1. Aunt Joyce and mom came out to visit Breslin. Aunt Joyce only for a few days, mom, for the whole summer.
2. Breslin LOVES his baths... I wanted to post a whole post on pics from his bath... But it was slightly innapropriate... so I will only post the appropriate pic.
3. Made it to a lunch out at a REAL restaurant, ChiChi's with mom, A. Joyce, Brady, Breslin, and I.
4. We had one night this week where Breslin only woke up once!
5. I somehow still am finding time to study for the CSET... which is now only two weeks away.

Five for Fridays
1. Slowly but surely we are getting the hang of this parenting thing.
2. Breslin's umbilical cord remains fell off! He's got an innie belly button.
3. I had a doctor's appointment to double check my blood pressure now that I am off of the medication... 117/78!!!! :)
4. Had our first dinner out as a family of 3.... It was a little rushed and not relaxing at all... but we did it! I HAD to get out of the house, I was going stir crazy.. Brady has baseball camp and baseball games that get him out of the house, but I have to hang around inside all day and feed Breslin around the clock... so it was nice.
5. We had to have the fire department come out and take care of a rattlesnake that was found in our backyard. How many firemen does it take to get rid of a rattlesnake? 3! And we thank them, because our cats every once in a while escape to the outdoors and the Mandel children come and swim at our place, so I am glad that it got taken care of so everybody (including our animals) are safe!

Five for Fridays
Wow... Crazy week :)
1. We have been parents for one full week! It is not as overwhelming as everybody has said it was going to be, but maybe that's because Breslin is a perfect little angel. And I also seem to have more energy now then when I was pregnant... lack of sleep is not an issue over here so far....
2. I did however underestimate the recovery time for me after giving birth... the pain and uncomfortableness... and other things.... were pretty unbearable the first couple of days... I told Brady, one and done with Breslin because of this recovery.... but now that we are a week out from having Breslin, I realize the recovery is bearable and whatever pain and uncomfortableness I have been going through this last week it is well well well worth it.
3. Took Breslin for his newborn pics (see post below for some sneak peeks).
4. Learning how to be a family of three, and it is working out really well.
5. Have been showered with visits and warm wishes and dinners from family and friends. We really appreciate all of it. An extra thanks to those who stopped by with food... again, my underestimation of my recovery process left me being very immobile and not very capable of making food.

Five for Fridays
Let's see... Not a whole lot to report in this Friday's Five for Fridays.... (insert sarcasm here):
1. June 2, 2011 6:26 PM PST (approximately 18 hours of labor)
2. 8 lb 6 oz
3. 21.5 inches long
4. 10 fingers and 10 toes
The daddy getting to hold Breslin for the first time (Brady is wearing a mask because both him and I had really nasty colds, his even worse than mine).
Stretchin out and showing his muscles
Perplexed... Where am I?
Me and the baby Bres
Baby toes! Adorable :)
When I see this picture (Breslin's first of many pictures....) I think of Look Who's Talking, "Put Me Back In!!!"
Swaddled and ready to go
A little mommy bonding time
Brady checking out his son... I think he's approved!
