Holiday Weekend

No big plans this weekend...okay, no plans at all, but it's nice. Yesterday, I left Reece with Dad so I could go on a boat ride with my parents and Ash. It was so nice to cruise up and down the river...plus, it gave Don some one on one time with the little guy. College football started, so they both put on their Ohio State gear and watched the games!

Today, I went running! A whole 2.5 miles...well, at least that's the distance I covered, unfortunately, it wasn't all running. But, I'll get there...I haven't ran in 10 months, I can't expect too much.

We also tried out the Bumbo seat today. Reece seemed to like it. I took some pictures and I'll try to post them tomorrow or Tuesday.

On another note, I find myself getting a little bored at home all day. I don't really want to go back to work yet, but I am ready for something to do. If Reece would just start going to bed earlier, then I may look forward to work a little more. But, probably not.

A little more...

We went home from the hospital 2 days after Reece was born, and things went pretty well that first night. We had a few visitors (our parents and siblings) and then settled in for an evening of feeding. This stinkin' baby had to eat ALL THE TIME. I thought for sure that it was never going to end and that I could never be able to continue breastfeeding if he kept going at that pace. Luckily, things calmed down and we've definitely come into a routine!

Life....part 1

A little introduction, Don and I met 7 years ago while working at the YMCA childcare. We were married in 2005 and just had our first baby on the 4th of July, we named him Reece Day! He's absolutely perfect.
I hope to use this blog to chronicle his life, but I may throw in a few un-Reece related events if they seem important enough!

So, without further adieu....here's Reece!

And one of the happy...and exhausted...family:

These pictures were taken at the hospital, about 20 minutes or so after he was born! What an amazing day. Our lives truly changed then.
