3 Months!!!!

My little sweet baby is already three months old! It is so crazy! I can not even believe how old she is. She is growing like a weed! Eating and playing like crazy! She has the biggest smile now and I can hear her working on her laugh. :)

I am doing really well as month two of being back to work is almost over. Some days are more stressful then others but the overall experience is still really great. I love being a working mom as it helps me define who I am aside from being a mom and a wife. I am starting to enjoy my time off from work a little more now as I am balancing my social life better. At first I felt like my days off were more work then work.

I am getting really excited to be going home to MN soon. I can't wait to have Kourtney meet the whole other side of her family :) She is blessed to have two special families that love her to pieces. We splurged on non-stop tickets, and I am more and more happy that we did as the time gets closer. I think it will make the whole experience a lot smoother.

Kourtney is doing all sorts of new tricks, and also getting to be a better sleeper. She was doing really well until about two weeks ago when she started wanting to play in the middle of the night :( But, all is back to normal now. She sleeps through the night only getting up to eat quick and go right back to sleep.

Vanessa is going to continue to watch Kourtney for Zach and I on Thursdays and Fridays. I am very grateful to have her be able to help us. I love that Kourtney and Kenzie will get to be as close as cousins can be by spending so much time together.  <3 It is super cute to see how excited she gets when I show up with Kourtney.

February is here!

Well it's 9am and the house is clean, dishes are done, laundry is almost done and I have already hit the gym this morning! Life is going great! I finally am starting to feel at ease being a mom & wife. The transition was a bit bumpy but I am happy to report it is smoothing out quite nicely! Kourtney is becoming so much fun to watch as she learns how to do new things and smile bigger and bigger every day!

I am still breastfeeding which I feel very happy about since that was the hardest thing about having Kourtney so far. (YES, even over the pushing )!!!! But it a breeze now and pumping while I am at work is going really well too!

Zach and I both have birthdays this month! His birthday is up first as he is turning 32 on Friday!!! So exciting! He wants to lay low and just have dinner with his family. So I wonder where he will want to go to dinner at! I bet Red Robin! He loves those burgers!! I love there season salted fries so that works for me!

I am down a few more pounds and feeling really good about it! I signed myself up to hit the gym 3 days a week but I am going to try for five starting this morning! I am also trying to go for walks with other mommy friends! Eating healthy is of course a big part of the plan :) It's weird cuz I totally thought by the way people talk that the weight would just "fall off" but I think most of them lied. It's hard work and I feel like I have so much skin. Just stretched skin. I know that's not the most talked about thing but man... I wish I woulda known more about that! I know it will all go back to normal, well at least close to back to normal and that IT IS all part of having a little bundle of joy BUT I wish it was a faster process! haha. I complain on my blog but in my head I know it's really only been two months so I need to just be more patient! It took nine, well really ten, months to put it on and I need to pat myself on my back and stay positive with how well I am doing :)

On a new note! Zach and I are looking into moving into a new house sometime between November 2011 and June 2012! We have been looking online and are excited to find our next home! We also will be renting out our condo so if anyone knows anyone who might want to rent it from us, let me know!

Kourtney and I got airline tickets to go tot MN at the beginning of March! We will be there from the third to the eighth! We are so excited! I tell her everyday how she will soon see her grandparents again and meet a whole lot more family :) Including her great-grandparents!

Here are some new pictures! Enjoy!
