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)

12 Weeks and Changing So Much!

Well it's week 12.  Griffin continues to grow and change before our very eyes!  I find myself in constant amazement of the new things he does.  Just today, we were sitting together on the couch when I got home from work.  I was singing (well more like whispering considering I have larangitis right now) the Wheels on the Bus and Patty Cake with him.  We've sung these songs and done the motions before and he'd grin, but today he was flashing me the biggest smile and laughing as we'd sing.  While neither of those things are brand new, it was the first time he's seemed to be truly entertained by songs and motions.  He likes music, but for the first time he honestly seemed to understand it.  I was laughing right along with him.  The looks on his face were priceless.  It was, hands down, the best moment of my entire week. 

G has had kind of a difficult week.  I'm hoping he's just going through a new developmental phase and the rockiness will be over soon.  Monday and Tuesday were very rough days at the babysitter's house.  He was screaming and crying a good portion of both days.  That is SO not his normal personality.  In fact it's the complete and total opposite of his personality.  He did better on Wednesday and Thursday, but he stayed home those days.  My sister was visiting over her spring break from school, so she got to have lots of snuggle time.  Hopefully he doesn't go back to screaming tomorrow.  I think the best part about my sister being with him these last two days is all the pictures she took.  I have had such a hard time taking pictures of him like I used to.  It's easy when you're home all day, but it's one of the last things I think of now that I'm back at work.  I hate that I don't have as many as I did in the past, but I guess that's part of it.  I just have to figure out a better system for taking them. 

Well here comes the best part of the blog post.  Pictures!  :o)  My sweet boy at 12 weeks old!

The world's most precious little face!

So sleepy after a day of shopping :o)

Can this kid get any cuter?!?!
