Our first Family pic

I'm surviving........sort of

On Monday, Randy left with his parents and some scouts to go on the 50 mile bike ride (I think that's what they're doing). So it's just been Tripp and I at home. I thought I could handle being alone with Tripp fairly easily until last night. He either had a lot of gas pain or he just felt like screaming at the top of his lungs all night long. Needless to say I was totally exhausted today. It seems like when I want to take a nap, he doesn't want to and when he is sleeping, I'm not tired. I have 3 more days to "rough it" until my tag-team member comes back. Hopefully I'll be able to survive until then.

I took this idea of the look-alike meter off Chelsi's blog. It was fun! Now who do you think Tripp looks like?

My munchkin

We put Tripp in his swing while we ate dinner. Randy started singing as he was clearing the table and when I went to get Tripp, this is what I saw:

I guess he doesn't like his daddy's singing voice.

Check it out!

We got our bike back! Our friend saw it while he was in town and called Randy to go check it out. It wasn't difficult for the cop to know that it was our bike when Randy opened our combination lock that was still on the bike. The kid who had the bike claimed he got it from a "free pile" around the corner. The cop went with him and the pile was actually there so the kid didn't get charged, but at least we have our bike, and it is locked up to the only thing we could find.

Growing sprout

Tripp had his 2 week checkup. He has grown 2 inches and gained 25 ounces from his last appointment. The doctor was surprised he had gained that much weight. The last time I was in his office was the day my milk came in and I was completely engorged and had problems trying to feed Tripp the entire day. Since my hormones were completely out of whack I couldn't stop crying especially when the doctor told me that Tripp was down 8% from his birth weight. So when the flood gates opened up in the clinic the doctor didn't know what to do with me so he sent me to the hospital to a lactation consultant. The consultant pumped me and I was fine after that. So that has been the only drama that we've had to go through until he got circumcised. Randy was brave and stayed in the room with him but I had to leave. Randy said that when the procedure was done, Tripp peed across the room and then pooped all over the table. It was hard seeing him cry so much. But afterwards he was completely out for about 3 hours. I think the drugs had something to do with that.
