Weeks 7 & 8 of Mr. Mase :)

Time is going fast, I can't believe how big our little guy is getting! 

--7 Weeks--

Isabella babysat so that Mommy and Daddy could go down to the band downtown and then to the pub for appetizers with Auntie Heather and Uncle TJ on Thursday(8/15). Then in the morning we got all packed up to head to the lake with the Speiser Family for our yearly weekend trip! We had a good weekend of relaxing! 

We took Mason on a "Ranger" ride around the lake and he slept the whole time in mommy's moby wrap(that auntie made!)

Everyone giving you lots of love!

Grandma & Grandpa Stager Babysat Mason on Monday(8/19) in the morning and daddy watched Mason in the afternoon. I heard when I got home you peed on that silly Grandma of yours but of course she didn't care!! They love you so much!! It was also Auntie Heather's birthday so we went to the great Wood Lake Fair and after that we went to the Granite Falls Golf Course to eat supper! 

Tuesday(8/20) was Mason's first day of daycare and we also bumped up his feeding to 4oz he was seeming to be really hungry still! He did great at daycare and Amber and Josh send us updates! :)

Wednesday(8/21) Mason is 7 weeks old! Amber and Mason at daycare! Mason is still sucking down 4oz and is still hungry so we started to try 5oz, he seemed to be content after that! 

--8 Weeks--

Thursday(8/22) - Mason had an eventful day at daycare today! He is starting to not feel so good and fuse. Having a hard time sleeping and just not acting like himself, content and happy. 

Saturday(8/24) We took Mason into urgent care, he was spitting up his whole bottle at feedings and was congested. They said he just had a cold and to watch it. We also went to the chiropractor which helped a lot. We spent the afternoon cuddling and I went to help with Kandice Mae Photography with a photo booth at a wedding reception at night! 

Cuddles with daddy!

Photo booth I helped with! 

Sunday(8/25) We are ready to watch some Minnesota Viking football in this house! 

Tuesday(8/27) we took Mason back to urgent care after work, he has had 48/51 poopy diapers in the last 3 days, still not seeming like himself. They told us to switch formula to the sensitive formula and that should help. 

Tears for Mommy, Smiles for Mason

I would have never thought leaving someone was so hard, just for 10 hours. I thought I had my self prepared, I had Auntie watch him for the first 2 weeks, and I have even left him with a babysitter 2 times! But tears still came rolling down my face as I backed out of the daycare drive way and drove down the street to start my trip to a long day at work, missing my baby boy, who not to add is going to be 7 weeks tomorrow! Where has time gone!? I know he is in great hands and his daycare providers love him and care for him! As I had tears rolling down my face, my baby boy was full of smiles! 

 Mason had an awesome first day - the note I got read - I was feeling sleepy today. I was full of smiles all day, when I was awake! I love to talk to all the other kids! As the day went on I got texts and pictures of him! I couldn't wait to come home and see him, I left work for lunch and was about to stop by but thought it would be harder to go back to work! 

I know he is in great hands and hopefully tomorrow and each day after gets easier! 

Circle Your Prayers

Yesterday in church, Pastor Grant told us to "Circle your life in prayer for God to Change" - they started to do this at the beginning of the month but I was either at children's church, or at Matt's parents - the goal was to write things down that you wanted God to change in your life and to watch throughout the month God work miracles. So I have wrote a couple down:

~ Cope with wedding - I pray that God can help me cope with how our wedding went and just be happy about it. Not be sad or mad about things that didn't happen. It has been 5 1/2 months and I still cry almost daily about things. This is a big topic at my next therapy session since we are getting the "bigger" things under control now.

~ Figure out daycare - I just pray that God will show me a way and answer about if daycare is my thing to do. In the past week I am believing God is working his ways. Will explain more at the end of the month!

~ Good/Healthy Pregnancy - I pray that my pregnancy will continue to be good and healthy. That our next appointment at the end of the month the baby will be healthy and growing good!

~ Family - Nothing hurts more then being torn in half between your own family, having to make decisions to make everyone happy. I just pray that God can mend our family back together. Matt and I are starting a family of our own and I just want nothing more then having our family back together.

~ Stress Free Month - I just pray God can ease my mind this month. That I not get worked up over little things or worry about money or anything that I just believe in him and trust in him. So far it's going good!

~ Emotions - I pray that I can keep my emotions under control. All my mind does is run run run...I just need a break sometimes. I cry over the littlest things and it's not even stress or fights it's just looking back into the past or little things said to me.

--I am so thankful for my therapist though. She really helps a lot and I am starting to do more things around the house to help Matt out. I really take him for granted some days. He does so much for me and my daycare. I just wish everyone could see how much he brutally does! --
