So Ethan is now a month old. Time has just flown. I thought it flew by fast with Mason but this month has been just like a blur. It's been great though. Mason went down to Utah with Bryan's parents for a week to see his Aunties and to give us some one on one time with the new baby. It was a great thing. Plus Mason got some much needed one on one time without having to compete. It was really good for him. They apparently had an absolute blast and he didn't have even the slightest of problems being away from us for that long. (I'm not exactly sure how to take that!) Ethan got to bond with Bryan well and that was good and then Ethan and I spent 4 days with my mom and just hanging out with her. So Ethan got to bond with her also. It was really good. I'm just glad that I've been able to be up and moving and a lot more active after this birth than I was with Mason.
Ethan is now over 9 lbs and loving every bit of his food! Go figure! We've had to move him to strictly bottles because of some medications for my Fibromyalsia come out through my milk and cause Ethan to be caulicy! It was not a pretty picture! It was a bummer to have to give up feeding him myself but I did a whole month and maybe by the time we have another there will be something better out there that wont be such a problem for breatfeeding.
Bryan is trying for the border patrol again in September-this time on the northern border. So hopefully this time it will pan out. He just turned 25 last Sunday and really enjoyed all his new golfing things and the actual golfing with my Dad last Monday. Everytime he plays he comes home wishing he could do it professionally. That's, unfortunally, as far as I can let it go.
Now that I've gotten back on some meds and into a good routine I'm thinking of finishing up my Accounting degree and getting that done this Winter. It'll be interesting.
Well we are just getting ready for Ethan's blessing this Sunday, Aug. 2nd. And then it's time for the Howarth family reunion! That'll be much fun! We're looking forward to seeing everyone! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry there are no pictures--they're still on the camera! I know that is no excuse but Mason's asleep for only a bit longer-I don't have time to get them off. So forgive me this time and I'll post more from the blessing and the reunion!
