Changes

Well little Kingston is 2 weeks and 1 day old and is weighing in at 6lbs. 8oz. according to our doctors visit yesterday. Everything was sailing along rather smoothly in parent world until Sunday night. Kingston who has been on a remarkable schedule decided to get off that schedule. He woke up screaming every hour and demanded food. Being the novice mother that I am I put a bottle in his mouth to keep him quiet so that Alfred and I could get some sleep. Poor Alfred had to drag himself out of bed at 4:30AM to get ready for his first day back at work since Kingston's arrival. So with daddy off to work it was mommy's first day home alone. About 7:30 AM Kingston started making a strange sound and then projectile vomited all over our bed, my hair, his own hair. Turns out babies will overeat if you let them.
Needless to say we spent the better part of yesterday evening trying to distract Kingston from eating so we could get him back on schedule and so far it seems to have worked and we have our Good Baby back!
We had a very fun weekend and finally got to enjoy nice weather with no rain. On Friday my friend Brandy stopped by, we work together so we caught up on work talk and friend stuff and just had a really good time visiting! She also thinks Kingston is just the cutest, and I totally agree!
On Saturday I went and had my hair cut shorter since being pregnant had taken it's toll and I want to start growing out the layers so it will be longer with shorter layers for the wedding.
After that Alfred and I decided to go on a date to Casa Fiesta this Mexican Restaurant that Brandy introduced us to that has the best margarita's in town. Since I've been pregnant the last 9 months I've spent a lot of time watching everyone drink these wondrous drinks and haven't been able to partake but on Saturday I had my first glorius sip and it was everything I thought it would be and more! Even Kingston enjoyed the atmosphere and took some time to nap!





On Sunday we took our first of many trips to the zoo. We went with our friends Phil and Elizabeth who have 6 month old Riley. We had a blast and look forward to using our family passes to walk around the zoo a lot this summer!


And yes I know I have a pudge but I've started walking to get rid of that!!
We got through week 2 pretty much unscathed and although Kingston and I miss Alfred very much it's been nice to get back into some sort of routine that doesn't revolve around baby!
