Finally having the time to update

My one month old was a FUSSY BUTT! =)
Mommy's 25th Bday and Jonah's One Month Bday!
Jonah meeting Papa and Derney


It has been WAY too long since I've written on this thing. My little Jonah-bug is very high maintenance! Since the last post, Jonah turned one month and I turned 25. Jonah got to meet his great grandparents, Derney and Papa Smith. They drove in from Hobbs, NM for my birthday. He got to meet his great-uncle Larry also. That's my dad's brother from Gainesville, TX. Jonah also got to go on his first boat ride on 5/22/09. We rented a boat and explored our new lake, then it rained on us.


Jonah and Aunt Shea on the boat!



Jonah at Tyler State Park napping

Last weekend we went to Tyler State Park and made a day of sitting in the sun and swimming in the lake. Jonah pretty much napped the whole time, but he was a good boy! It was nice to get some sun.

I feel like baby J has been growing and changing every day. We think he is between 9-10 lbs. now. His next Dr. appt is July 2nd for his 2 week check-up. Thank goodness we haven't had to visit his Dr. before then. I think I can owe a lot of that to breastfeeding- which is getting better. We have been supplementing a little bit just to give mommy a break sometimes, but are mostly still on the breastmilk.

Joash also got a job! We are so thankful!!! He is working at Tyler Professional Staffing and has a front office position. I think he really likes it so far but he may still hunt around for a better paying position. We also need him to get a benefit package for him and the baby. I think benefits at this new job start after one year, so we'll see.

Joash and I have been going to the gym. We found a really great one here with some good group classes. We go to body pump about 3 times a week, and I go to body step twice a week. Mom, Dad, Shea, Joash and I are having a weight loss competition for 6 weeks and whoever loses the most (percentage wise) will get $100. So it will end the week of July 4. I'm excited and determined to win since I have Em's wedding on July 11 and Chelse's wedding in August. We got the idea from Uncle Larry. Him and his family are doing something similar.

Well Alexis and her mom were going to come this week, but since Lex is preggers, she is getting morning sickness day and night and decided to postpone. I was a little bummed, but I completely understand. I hate that she's going through that and I'm so fortunate that I didn't have that sickness while I was pregnant!

We are expecting more company this weekend. My Nana and Glen and Great-Aunt Doris and Great-Uncle Don. They are staying for a few days and then Jonah and I are going back to Hobbs with Nana and Glen. We are going to meet some more people and I have to go to Chelse's bridal shower. I can't wait! I also get to go to my old hairdresser which is super exciting!!!

I go for my 6 week checkup this week on Thursday. I'm really nervous about seeing a new doctor, and also that I couldn't find a female doctor here. I just got to get through it and not be such a weenie I guess. I really miss Dr. Lafranca already!!! Hopefully everything has healed well. We shall see~
