My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

Slacking...4 Weeks and 1 Month Birthday!

Wow, I'm such a slacker this week!  G was 4 weeks old on Thursday.  Time is just going way too fast.  I don't like it one bit!  The big news for this week was our trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Indiana.  It was our first long distance car ride and first overnight trip. 

Griffin did a great job ont he car ride over.  We weren't sure how things were going to go with him because it's over four hours to get to my parents' house.  G slept the whole car ride over.  We stopped once to eat and feed/change him.  After our one stop we were able to get the rest of the way to their house without stopping.  He started to wake up just as we were driving through town to get to the house. 

Saturday was quite the busy day.  Most of my extended family made the drive up to Mom and Dad's to come meet G.  We were so happy to see everybody.  They had about a four hour drive  to get here and were very excited to meet the newest memeber to the family.  It definitely meant a lot that they ca me to see us! 

Grandma and Grandpa have had such a great time having Little Man here.  We're definitely not ready to go home, but tomorrow morning we have to :o(  Hopefully we can come back again soon!

Today Griffin is officially one month old.  I honestly cannot believe it!  I really feel like we just left the hospital a few days ago.  It doesn't seem possible that he is already a month old.  He's doing so many new things!  We've been working on tummy time and his neck muscles are getting much stronger!  He enjoys lifting his head and looking around, especially when he's being burped or carried around upright looking over a shoulder.  He is so amazed by everything around him.  Those big beautiful eyes are open wide taking in everything he can.  He also likes to scoot himself around on the floor while doing tummy time.  He gets those little legs and feet moving and he scoots all over the place.

What a weekend we've had!  Like all weekends I don't want to see it end, but I guess there's no way to stop it, unfortunately.  I guess the best way to end the weekend is with a pic of G on his one month birthday!
