It's Friday .... I think ~?

Everyday feels like a Saturday to me .... it's so hard to figure out what day it is, not that it matters much - as long as I remember to go to any appointments! ;) Things are going well, a little update .... we were waiting to tell people until we found out more info so now that I know the whole story I can tell you. At Jacob's first doctor appointment she noticed that he had a heart murmur, which I kinda assumed he would have (most babies do) and she asked us to come back after the weekend so she could check him again. So two days later I drive all the way back to see her (about a 45 minute drive) and she tells me that it is still there and recommends that we go see a specialist at the Stollery Hospital for kids. She arranged an appointment for us and the next week we were off to the kids hospital - I was a little worried but not too bad, I had faith that it wasn't going to be serious but there was still the fear that maybe something bad could be wrong? Well we found out that it is an "innocent murmur" which means absolutely nothing, it means he is healthy and can do everything that other little boys do but if we ever go to another doctor we should tell them about it just to avoid unnecessary tests. They also say that he should grow out of it, so there is nothing to worry about.

That was the biggest event so far with Jacob, I feel like he is definitely thickening up, I bet he is probably a pound or more then he was at birth? I plan on going to the health clinic to get him weighed at one month. He is eating about 3 1/2 - 4 oz per feeding, which I think is good. We were having a little trouble planning his baby shower, it seemed like no one wanted to step up to the plate to organize it?! My SIL said she would but after weeks went by with no plans we decided to tell her not to worry about it, by the time she gets around to planning one Jacob will be crawling!?! :o So instead we are combining my MIL's "meet the baby BBQ" with some what of an unofficial baby shower. I don't think people will be expected to bring gifts (although that would be nice!), it will be more of a family/ friend get together, a social event~! So far I think she has invited 70 people with about 45 replying "yes", I think it will be a nice/ fun but very stressful/ exhausting event!! Jacob gets pretty fussy when passed around too much, he kinda likes to get comfy and stay there, so I'm expecting him to get grumpy from 40 people wanting to hold him and coddle him - which in turn will make me very grumpy! I get pretty irritated when he is cranky and I can't do anything to help him out. I just have to remember that it is only for one day and I just have to get through it! :P

Not much has changed in the weight loss area, I am still at 190lbs which is 25lbs lighter then when I went into the hospital but I still have 20lbs to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight! I try to go for a walk everyday (at least 30 minutes) and I am watching more of what I eat - not really dieting but just making sure I get my fruits and veggies. I also realize that it has only been 3 weeks since his birth and I shouldn't expect to loose it all in a few weeks but I feel like maybe I should be doing more to shed the pounds? Maybe once he can do more it will be easier to get the weight off cause we could go to the park or go swimming. I will be chasing him more and not just sitting on the floor giving him raspberries/ zerberts!! ;) he he
