Courter - 3 months

Courter is 3 months old! He is developing such a cute little personality!

New journey!

My hubby and I joined Weight Watchers tonight! For me, I am noticing that my fasting blood glucose level is going up, even if ever so slightly, and I want to get those numbers a little more under control.
I also don't want to go back on meds, so I'm hoping that this will help.

And since G also wants to shed some pounds, he is going to do it with me... which I think is going to be a huge motivator for me!

Starting weight: 184
Goal weight (reasonable): 170
Goal weight (stretch): 160

Wish us luck! 😘

First day of school!

It's funny what worries come up in a single day.

Today we dropped off both kids for school. That's right, BOTH kids.
Today is Courter's first day of daycare. Insert crying emoji here.

And with that came a whole new set of worries.
- Will he be okay?
- Will he take the bottles for his teachers?
- Did I provide enough breastmilk?
- Will they have trouble warming the bottles?
Gah...

Courter - 2 months

Courter is 2 months old!
Gosh, shots neve get easy... poor thing.
He is growing and is still off the charts! We love his rolls and everything about him!

Courter - 1 month

Our little guy is a month old - I can hardly believe it!
We are all adjusting well. Penny loves him and always wants to hold him, sit next to him, and tickle him.
It's terrifying, in the sweetest of ways.

Still a little sore from the c-section and still sleeping on the recliner.

Life is good!

He's here!!

A few years ago, we visited my Grandfather up in Young Harris. He has always been one of my favorite people and fills this world with charisma, respect and charm. He looked at each new day with joy and when asked by strangers how he was doing, he would respond "Gettin' better every day!"

Well, we were shooting the breeze and he was talking about how him and his current wife met, and how it was his goal to court her. That stuck with me because I know that was his character.

When it came time to name our son, I was taken back to that conversation.

And that's where Courter came from.

It is my hope that our son will be filled with charisma, respect, and charm just like my grandfather. And that he will love others and be a strong Christian and always look for the joy and good in people.
