When a new baby is born, families and friends always debate about who the baby takes after the most. I will let you decide for yourself. We combined our baby photos, all around the same age. In my opinion Xander got a good mix between the both of us. I'm on the left and Jerry is on the right.
Just when life starts to get normal and routine something else has to change and completely throw life off balance. The dreaded day is finally less than a week away. I have to go back to work next Tuesday. I have to leave my poor little guy, but I know he will be in good hands. We tried to find daycare, but either they didn't want a baby so young or they wouldn't take a baby part-time. My mom and Jerry will be taking care of Xander while I am at work. I feel bad, but I have to go make some money.
On a lighter note, Xander is doing really well. He's almost to his 3 month birthday and gaining weight like crazy. He has put on so much weight, I wonder if it's too much. He was only 6lbs 6oz at birth. Yesterday I weighed him using my Wii Fit and it said he was about 14.8lbs! He is only 11 weeks old. I just don't want him to get too big too fast. It makes me feel sad. I miss how little he was when he was born. At the same time though I don't miss those first few weeks. I didn't have anything figured out yet. I would do things so much different if I could go back in time to when Xander was a newborn.
I have finally figured out a routine with Xander. He wakes me up anywhere between the hours of 5am to 7am and I have to feed him. He then passes out for a few more hours but doesn't want to sleep in his crib anymore. I eat breakfast and then get us both ready to go to the gym. I get in a good workout and then we go home for the rest of the day. Jerry comes home at 5:30pm and then he wants to hold Xander and play with him. I then go make dinner while he is watching him. We figure out what we will be doing for the evening whether it be shopping or just watching TV. We try to put Xander to bed by 8:30 so we can spend a little time together.
Working out has finally started to pay off for me. I started going back to the gym when Xander was 4 weeks old and I now go at least 4-5 times a week. I am finally losing weight. I hope I can get back down to a healthy weight soon. I will try to remain optimistic. I'm losing weight and Xander is gaining weight.

Awe, your pictures are so cute! I have to agree with you, I think he is a pretty even mix between you and Jerry.
Tristan and I are going to be gone until the 23rd, but after that, we should get together and hang out. I am having a birthday party for Rileigh on the 15th of next month, and you are all invited :) I will let you know the details when it gets closer.
I am so glad you posted again finally!!!! YOu learn a lot in the first few months huH? You are amazing to go and work out so hard so early in the morning but you have always been a morning person (I know from sleep overs and you telling me you wake up super early to watch sonic before school. . . hahahaha) and you have always been dang good at working out. I wish we lived closer so I could go with you. Try and keep Xander on a schedule asap and as soon as he will let you! Getting my kids to bed by 8 is the best thing ever! He did get a good mix of you twoo! Post more, I know there is more for you to post even if it is just pictures! Good luck with going back to work. I am gald you have good babysitters! Knowing he is in such good hand will help you out more then you know!
OH and don't worry about the weight I think they are suppose to double there weight within the first few months. That is a good sign!
I love comparing pictures. What a great idea!
