New Ink

My newest addition to the ink I have already! I got Lincoln's name inked onto my left wrist. It matches Chandler's tattoo (except his is blue). I had it done by Lew at Atlas Tattoo in North Portland. He was awesome. He had a 1 month old at home and so we had plenty to chat about! I felt like I was getting the pidly little tat done since there were 4 other people getting massive tats.

Lincoln turned 2 months last friday and today was his 2 month check up with Dr. Miller. He's 13 lb and 23 inches long. He's perfect (his words not mine, but I do agree). He said to keep on doing what we are doing and we'll talk solids at the next appointment... Huh?! Soild food already, no way! This is my little baby, he's not getting that big; so big he's into 3-6 mo clothes, that he's taking 6-8 oz bottles, or sleeping 7 hrs at night. Yes, I am getting nostolgic, but you mommies know when it's your last you have to savor all of the baby stuff.


Which brings to the news that we are officially done, permantely, if you catch my drift. ;) I am happy it's all taken care of. I really love the boys but I am so happy we have just the 2 and we can go 2 on 2. We were blessed with very sweet boys (granted Chandler is still adjusting to Lincoln's arrival). I am very thankful that I have an understanding hubby that will do things that are not comfortable, especially when the novacaine doesn't work.
Chandler starts preschool this week, back at the school district. Then he's at St. Andrew Preschool next week. I can't believe he's going back. I am glad though, I think he'll start to get back to the sweet boy that he was prior to Linc's arrival. But we will see. His class at Church has only 3 kids to 2 teachers, so it will be great for him.


I will post when he's back into school and we have first day of school pics.

Life with 2

I am sitting here feeding Lincoln. He's the newest addition to the Brown family. He joined us on June 29, 08 at 6:51 pm. He was 8 pounds and 21 inches long. He's a great baby! He is sleeping well at night, up every 4 hours or so. He loves music, motion, and eating! He is 7 weeks old today!





Chandler is adjusting well to being a big bro. He regressed a bit in potty training, but that's better. He is in pre school 2 days a week, which helps him with his speech and gross motor delays. He loves it. He returns in a couple weeks; I can't wait. He's been acting out more, which is stressful!




I have begun working out, which is so nice. I have a Christmas goal of loosing 47 pounds. As of today, I am 39 pounds away! Woot!! I am eating 1500 calories a day, Lifting 3 days a week and doing cardio 5 days a week. I have a Bodybugg and am working out at 24 hour fitness. My long term goal (Linc's 1st b-day) is 100 lb.
Now Linc wakes up and is ready for his next bottle! And Chandler has to go potty. Ah, the greatest joys of my life!!!

I AM PG!

I got my BFP on Sunday November 4th!
I am so excited, but equally cautious. We are due July 15th, 2008; two days before my late Dad's birthday. I am thrilled that this child will share a birth month with his/her (guessing boy) Grandpa. As of today I am 4 wks 2 days pregnant. I am 6 days away from where we were with Cookie Monster in April. I had my levels drawn and they are looking great. I have an ultrasound scheduled for November 27th (I will be 7 weeks along).

Today I am feeling tired, I laid down with Chandler while he took a 2 hour nap. It was nice to be chillin' out and watching tv. I haven't seen the Rachel Ray show before, so that was kinda cool. Anyway, keep ya'll posted when I know more.
