The past two months.

I decided to jump on the band wagon and get a Blogger as well. During my pregnancy I had a Tumblr that I used to keep track of development, but as I read each post it seemed like all I did was complain about every little thing. Yay for being pregnant and hormonal! So I thought I'd start new and set up a Blog for everyone who is interested in our little family. (More so for everyone to keep up with how Brody is doing, since we kind of picked up and left everything and everyone back in Vegas && have family scattered around Utah.) Soon we will have more family out here, but until then it's just Daddy, Mommy, Baby Brody, and Grandpa Rich here in Vernal.

I wanted to do a small recap of Brody's last two months even though they were in Vegas just to see how he has grown! :)


Just a small little bugger in mommy's belly.
Almost a year ago.
Left: 8 weeks. Right: 28 weeks.
Growin fast!



Here he is!
Brody Daniel Rich.
Born December 17, 2011.
Our own family <3
Daddy, Baby, && Mommy.

Getting snipped. :(
First and pretty much last time 
he ever really really cried.
Newborn pictures.
Birth Announcement daddy made.
Whoever knew he was so creative!
Baby boy is a whole month old!
&& now he's 2 months old..
as of yesterday.
Getting so good at holding his head up!
(though he has been since day one.)

As for Beau and I, it's been an adventure as well.

Beau:
  • Quit his electrical job.
  • Got a job with Halliburton.
  • Left for Vernal, Utah January 1st.
  • Has been workin non-stop ever since. 
Myself:
  • Stayed in Vegas packing until beginning of February.
  • Visited Beau for a week to get our Town House all situated
    • Baby stayed with "Broma" Grandma Rich and his aunts.
  • Beau and I drove back to Vegas to pack our things in the U-Haul
  • Visited for the last time, then was time to drive to our new home.
  • Been in Vernal exactly a week today, and have loved every minute of it!
    • Though I do miss a lot of people in Vegas.
    • && quit job at Zappos to be a stay at home mommy <3

Since Brody has been in Utah, he has loved it as well. He is such a happy baby. Only whines when he is hungry, wet, or wants to be rocked in his chair. Haven't heard him actually cry for the longest time. He used to cry like crazy when he was hungry, or got his diaper changed, but he has gotten over that. He is almost pretty much eating 8 oz. bottles. He's a little chunk! The best thing so far, he is sleeping through the night. The first night he did, I woke up in such a panic thinking something was wrong, but I was wrong. He was sound asleep in his crib. I thought it would only last a night, but we are on night 5 tonight, and he has slept all night, all the others. Last night he actually slept almost 10 hours too! I think he has his mommy's sleeping habits :D He still sleeps a lot during the day too. Usually awake for 2 hours or so, then naps for 2. He's on a pretty good schedule. Makes for lots of mommy time. Even though its spent organizing, cleaning, and working out. I gained over 40 pounds during pregnancy. After Brody, still was up by 13 pounds. So now I'm trying to shred that baby weight. So far so good! 2.2 pounds lost and 1% body fat as well in just a week! Proud of myself because I've never been the working out type. Beau's lost weight as well from his job. Proud of us all!

These past two months have made me happier than I have ever been in life. I feel like we actually are growing up, and making something of ourselves. Can't wait to see what else is in store for us!
