" 2 Fun Filled Weekends In One Post"





Weekend @ Grandma and Grandpa Marcario's
Okay so I have had so many things to post it's insane! So I decided to just put Memorial weekend, and last weekend into one big post. I will start with last weekend Devin and I went and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Marcario while daddy was out of town. We had a great time and pretty much mommy (me) didn't have to do much :) We went on a walk, and we napped together, Grandpa Even got a good nap in with Dev. We went to Baskin Robbins for ice cream, we barbequed we hung in the warm sun, what more could you ask for on your weekend! Thanks grandma and grandpa for letting the Devster and I come stay with you we love you!!


Memorial Weekend (pools,barbeques,baths, and the cabin)


Well we had quite the weekend!! First it all started at the pool with my mom and sister, Dev loves the sun already like his mommy :) unfortunately he can't actually have sun exposure or get in the pool yet, but he still enjoyed it from the shade. I did make sure I got one picture with him by the water so I could say he was there. I just loved taking my little baby to the pool it was soooo much fun! It's funny though how since I have had Devin I really notice that the simplest things are so important and so fun, mostly because they are being done with Devin and Chris my sweet little family.


I thought maybe I would follow up with Dev's first big boy bath over this weekend. He is such a hoot he totally loves the warm water being squeezed on him. You see I say his big boy bath, because beng in the NICU he could only have a basic wipe down sponge bath. He finally is big enough to put in the water and let him play :) I had to get it on film it was to important to pass up I had to remeber that sweet moment Chris and I had with our first born baby boy. So check out this film it's pretty adorable!!! :)


So although the pool bath and hanging with our sweet Dev was prety awesome we had to end on a good note by going to the family cabin with Chris's family Sunday night. We barbequed, went on walks, slept, made dev laugh for the first time and I got a picture, ate ate ate played some cards and then loved on eachother and our sweet baby!!! I can't imagine Chris and I's life without Devin now I truly can't it's nuts. Well enough writing and talk I have lots of pics below to enjoy :) until next time hope you all had a great Memorial Day!!!!!

"The First Messy Spit Up"

Well so I thought this was worth posting because it was one of Devin's firsts. So I went to Chili's the other night for dinner, I usually feed him before I go so that he wont be fussy. Well needless to say he was doing just fine until about 20-25 minutes into dinner he started screaming. I looked under the blanket over his carrier and milk was coming out of his mouth and nose, the poor thing even had boogers coming out too. I had to use the sucker to clear his nose and airway, it was kind of scary for me actually. He was spitting up like you wouldn't believe. He never spits up this was one of the first times he has done and man it was bad. The milk was burning his little nostrils I'm sure and I'm thinking he couldn't breath very well do to it coming out of his mouth. Oh my gosh I felt like such a bad mom I swear when things like that happen you just freak, because well to me anyways it's new and scary. So this was just a sad story for mom more so and I just thought that I would post for anyone else that has had these silly first time experiences. Anyone that has any first time silly stories please share so that it can make me feel better :)

Happy Mother's Day!!!

So my first mothers day. I can't tell you how weird it was to be given things because I'm a mom. Don't get me wrong it was fun :) I'm just so used to giving my mom a gift on mother's day, not getting one from her. As you can see above Devin and I agreed that Mommy needed some sleep so we took an afternoon nap together at Grandma and Grandpa Marcario's house. I now understand and appreciate my mom more than I can even imagine. I get it now that love she always talked about, and would say you just wait until you have a baby, then you will understand. Well she's right I hate when that happens lol. All I know is just when you think you don't know how you could love something even more than your own life itself. I'm here to tell you it's possible, Devin is my precious little angel sent from heaven to remind his mommy everday that he chose me to be his mommy, and is a gift straight from god!!! I love you my little man thank you for the best Mommy's Day ever!!

"Devin's 7 Week Old Pics"

Well here we are another week past, and no still no sleep :) (not for mommy anyways). All I can say is when you have to wake up in the middle of the night so tired, but get to see this sweet face how can you even be upset. This is honestly just one of the many positions Dev sleeps in, it just cracks me up.This next set of pics are just simple for you to enjoy, all I have to say is our new little bundle is perfect!!! I could not ask for a more healthy sweet baby, life throws you curves sometimes, and Devin definately did that on his entrance in this world. Now that is all past though, and I am left with my beautiful little boy I would do it again and again in a heartbeat now that I know the end result. Enjoy the pics everyone!! :)
