The Wonderful Wife: Months 2 and 3

Wow! It has been a whirlwind few months with our little peanut and I haven't had a spare second to update the blog! Sorry for the long delay. Our little chunkers is almost 4 months old now and I cannot believe how much he has changed in such a short amount of time.

He had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery when he was around 6 weeks old and it was probably one of the most heartbreaking, stressful moments in both mine and my husband's lives. Little monkey was a trooper though and came through it all with flying colours! Kudos to the wonderful surgeon we had and all of the wonderful nurses (with the exception of one) at VGH. We are so lucky to live in a country where he didn't have to wait for surgery and received the most exceptional care....and we didn't come out of it all broke! Here are some photos of our sweet little babe at the hospital.

Since the surgery Austin has just gotten bigger and more alert and I sometimes can't believe our boy was once this little guy...

Our little man is now so full of smiles and giggles and we could just watch him all day long. He does suffer from really bad reflux but his meds seem to be working now and he is doing much better.

We have made two trips up to visit Grandpa and Grandma and Austin has been a star traveler! He had such a fun time snuggling with them and can't wait to see them again. It's so hard having my mom and dad live so far away and we cherish every moment we can spend with them. I am so lucky to have such amazing supportive parents who have helped me through all of the difficult moments of mommyhood.

I am so looking forward to all of the big events and holidays that are on their way. I cannot wait for Austin's first Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas...I am already planning his outfits and photos! I am loving being a stay at home mommy and being able to take care of my little family! It is so much fun having the time to cook dinners, lunches, and breakfasts and I can't wait until little peanut gets to start trying real food. So many things to look forward to.

Daddy has been such a big help too and watching him grow and flourish into such a wonderful father has just been amazing. He loves spending every minute he can with his sweet little boy and is looking forward to all the sports and coaching to come....but we both would like Austin to slow down a bit; he's growing too fast!!

Here are his 2 and 3 month chalkboard photos and a few cute ones to boot!
