30 Days of Thanks {LINK UP}
November: the one month a year we take the time to share what we are thankful for! I started this link up because I've seen a few people take part in "30 Days of Thanks"... Each day, they share one thing that they are thankful for via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter...etc. I thought it would be cool if we could all get together and write one blog post on our blogs to share our own 30 days of thanks!
So here 30 items that I am thankful for...
{LINK UP yours @ the bottom}
1. My Catholic faith in a Loving & forgiving God
2. A kind-hearted husband who is not only my husband but my best friend!
3. our Sweet Baby Boy
4. Family: both mine (some pictured) and husband's side (not pictured)
5. Good Girl Friends: who always got my back!
6. Health
7. To live in the Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave. Good ole' U.S. of A.
8. Weekends. At least we have 2 days to share with loved ones every week.

30 days of Thanks {Link Up Coming Soon}
I love the month of November and the fact that we are able to spend a whole month thinking about what we are thankful for. I know a lot of folks on instagram and facebook are posting one thing they are thankful for each day. While I know that is a great way to spend the month remembering to be thankful each and every day, I would totally forget to post every day. I had an idea this week and thought I'd share it.
This Wednesday, I'd like to start a "30 days of Thanks" Link Up Party! I will post my list of 30 things I am thankful for and I'd love you to post yours too to your blog, then link up!!! The link up party is going to run for the rest of November. Be sure to come by, link up, and comment on at least 3 few others posts who have linked up. I'm lucky to have a few other bloggers who will be co-hosting this sweet thankful link up... that will also be sharing this same massive link up on their blogs on Wednesday Nov. 14, 2012! I love seeing what others are thankful for too because sometimes it makes me realize that I'm thankful for that too or it is just fun to get to know each other better.
So excited to make new friends and learn more about each of you!
To promote, you can grab the button in the side bar (on the top right)! And spread the news! See ya Wednesday!
The more the merrier.
So excited about this! & Looking forward to Wednesday!

Insta-Baby Lately
Well, this past Tuesday was 5 weeks of sweet snuggles, kisses, and smiles with our sweet baby boy! I've been absent from the blog but with good measure. I'm starting to get the hang of things and I'd say we have somewhat of a schedule going for us. Today, I decided to share some baby instagrams of late.
If you've been wondering what I've been up to well, I just can't get enough of this little man. When he sleeps, I sometimes just like to stare at him because he's so handsome. He's like a part of me and a part of my husband. I stare at him and see both of us.
Every day when Noland comes home from work, he holds him for an hour or longer because he hasn't seen him all day and I throw something together for dinner. The two of us are just so in love with this little fellow. Just when you think you can't love anymore, your heart grows three sizes and makes more room to love.
I always think it is funny when people ask who a baby looks like because other than particular features, you can never tell at 0-5 weeks old... or at least I can't. Our little man just looks like both of us. Sometime I look at him and think, "that is totally a Noland face" and other times I think, "he looks just like me." Today, I think his eyes are shaped like mine but he has Noland's eyes. My baby pictures look like him minus a few features. It's just so exciting every day to watch him as he grows. He's already bigger.
His most recent appointment was on Monday.
He is 12.44 lbs and 23.75 inches long at 5 weeks old. Crazy, huh?! He's a big boy!
He loves eating, playing in his play gym, swinging in the swing, riding in the car, his pacifier, being held, waking up when he is put down, staring at mom and dad, when we hold him like he is sitting up, rocking in our rocking recliner, tummy time (he can already hold his head up and almost roll over).
He likes to play the game where his pacifier falls out of his mouth and then he makes a little fussy noise until you put it back in. Sometimes he'll be laying in his little bouncer and it will fall on shoulder, he will make a fussy noise and try to move his shoulder to maneuver it back into his mouth. He has been unsuccessful so far but it sure is fun to watch for a second as I reach to put it back in his mouth.
He is just so fun and we are so excited and blessed to have him in our lives! I wake up with him in the middle of the night to feed him during the week because the hubs has to wake up early for work and I'm able to nap while he naps during the day. It's actually not too bad. He probably wake up twice a night around 1-2am and 4-5am. I say that now and tonight he will probably wake up like 17 times... haha. No, but he has been a really amazing baby, such a little angel.
Alright folks, well that's all for today. Stay tuned: in the next day or 2, I'm going to be giving away 25 FREE Red Box codes to 25 different people! And more fun posts coming soon! (still waiting on newborn pictures but hopefully I'll have those soon too!)
