A little venting
Sad day
I finally got a picture of Tristan smiling. I mean really smiling! And when I was trying to download it, my camera fell off the desk and disconnected, ruining almost all the pictures I had on my memory card. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my camera until I deleted all the corrupted files off the camera. It was super stinky.
I've decided. I used to be all feminist and wanting to work and not stay home…….but after having my little guy, all I want to do is be with him. Even though I can hardly get anything done around the house while he is awake! He's a very needy little baby. But so dang cute! I wish I could show you the smily picture…..oh well, I'll just have to be stealthy and get another one. But really, your priorities change when have a baby. And it's so hard to work and be breast feeding. I have to take almost half an hour every 3 hours to pump while I'm at work…..really starts to cut into your pay……that and I feel silly having to ask people to cover for me. It's like, asking someone to cover while you go to the bathroom because you know you are going to be awhile….do I really have to tell everyone about my pumping??? I'm not embarrassed to be breastfeeding, just it's kind of a personal thing. Excuse me while I go relieve myself of my mucosal secretions……ah well. The joys of being a working mom. I can't wait till Nick can work and I can stay home. Unfortunately, in today's world, you have to be independently wealthy to do something like that. Or not mind living in poverty. Don't think I could hack it.
That and I live in a pigsty. Tristan and work take up so much of my time, I've started to neglect the necessities of life….like clean clothes and dishes, and a good home cooked meal. My sink smells putrid and even Nick has started drinking Boosts. It's rather pathetic. I need to learn to prioritize… and function on little to no sleep. If Tristan gets me up to eat more than once a night, I end up sleeping in till an hour before I go to work. And last night, he decided he was hungry at 2, 4 and 7. I really wish he'd do the sleeping 6 hours thing more often.
On the bright side, we went to physical therapy today and his therapist said he is doing well. His little head is still a tiny bit misshapen, and he still favors his left side. But he is improving. Especially now that he is starting to interact more. He pays attention to lights, sounds, moving toys and things. And he giggles and coos back and for with me and Nick, it's really cute. He was kind and sat in his bouncer tonight long enough for me to clean up his room, wash some dishes and make dinner. I felt so accomplished.

And here is the new…..
Pretty sexy eh?

Look what I found!
I found some ooooold pictures when I was downloading some stuff off Nick's camera, thought I would share them. These are from 2008 and 2009…..minus the last one
No idea, looks like someone was kind and made them food haha
Nick and Karl had a fishing trip and Nick got hungry I guess
So I cooked the fishies for them and their roomies when they got back
Karl seemed to like it, haha
And I fell asleep afterwards
Nick's beast on one of our fishing trips on the Provo River
Amber caught a beast in the same spot later that year!
And the famous buttwipe…..rock on Bastian
Great Saturday
Today, Nick and I went on an adventure. He had some bugs to collect for his masters, and Tristan and I came along for the ride. And it was a scary one. Let's just say I do not like riding in the backseat, doesn't matter who's driving. Especially when it's up a mountain and the road is nothing but narrow switchbacks overlooking steep cliffs. Not my favorite….I get carsick and very nervous. But obviously we made it out alive, so good job Nick. We went to a place called Cascade Springs, where I got a chance to practice some photography while Nick plucked little shrimp looking thingies out of the water. Then we went to Park City and did the same thing. Tristan and I just strolled around waiting. When we got home, Nick took my little bro Phil to do some clothes shopping and Tristan and I took a much deserved nap! After Nick got home, we went to Karl and Amber's to hang out for a bit. Nick had just bought a new body for his RC car and wanted to show it off and race with Karl. Amber and I hung out and chatted about the joys (woes) of being new mommies. So glad we can still whine and laugh with each other, it's not about pregnancy anymore but about our darling little babies. I still can't believe how tiny their little Isaac is! But he's dang cute. We ended up all vegging on the couch watching Wimpy Kid because the RC cars sucked up rocks and quit working right.
Tristan is still doing great in his room. He slept for 6 hours straight last night! Nick and I also decided to do some interior decorating, so we went out and bought material to make curtains for Tristan, super dang cute Monkey cloth, and we bought curtains for the living room an dour bedroom at walmart. I think it's going to look great once we get it all done. Now I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep and a relaxing sunday. Here are some of the pictures I took on our little outing!

Tristan watching Veggietales….haha don't worry, we're not
trying to get him addicted, it just helps him keep his head
straight because he looks at the light.
