By Small and Simple Things...

I meant for these pictures to be at the end of the post, but I haven't quite figured this thing out yet, so you get them first. He's getting so big and long!

Whenever Stevenson changes Spencer he always comes walking out with all his clothes off. He says that Spencer needs air.

Tired in the bathtub. Look at that belly!
A half smile. I'll get a good picture eventually!

I don't think anyone truly understands the time it takes to be a mom until you become one. After seven weeks of pretty much doing nothing except be a mom (which i'm not complaining about) I think it is time for me to slowly weave some things back into my life. I can't not be able to get out of the house before 10am (or later some days) for the rest of my life. So last sunday in the Eugene 3rd Ward relief society they had us make goals for the month of June. The ward goals are friendliness (to neighbors, ward members, etc) and prepardness (year supply). In addition to those the relief society does a fitness goal. I never follow through with these things but I thought that if I set some simple goals I could more easily integrate them into my new life of motherhood. So here are my goals:

Friendliness:

I don't know anyone here, BUT I can go to enrichment this month and talk to one person who isn't my mother-in-law or grandmother-in-law.

Prepardness:

As I do not have a home of my own as of now something simple I can do in terms of prepardness is an emergency kit for our car. (Food, water, blanket, medical supplies, flashlight, etc.)

Fitness:

Post-pregnancy excercise seems very daunting. Even the thought of running makes me laugh (because I know that is what people driving down the street will be doing when they see my form-or lack of it) BUT I CAN make a goal to do 1 hour of exercise per week. Simple enough to attain and will inspire me to do more.

These are my goals for June. Small and simple, I know, yet attainable.
