So, its been a while… and I’m going to quit apologizing every time it has been.  Why?  I’m a mom and have higher commitments now.  Commitments that don’t sleep- almost at all during the day.  Commitments that remind me frequently they need to eat every half hour, and be burped every time after that… oh well, at least he sleeps most all night. :)

I went to the doctor last Thursday.  He said I am healed enough to resume normal activities! Which is was music to my ears because Tim and I’s ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY was Sunday, and we decided to go camping for that weekend!  The campground we went to, Cross Creek, has a really nice pool and I was excited to go swimming for the first time this summer!

So the week before we left, I made arrangements with my mom to baby sit Levi while we were gone.  We would be gone from 5 pm Friday to noon on Sunday.  She happily agreed and I went to work pumping.  MAN, I HATE hand held pumps.  When I finally got the electric breast pump, I had a lot of milking to do.  And I pumped 40 ounces in one week!  Unfortunately, that only lasted him 24 hours (HE EATS A LOT AND HAS CONTINUAL GROWTH SPURTS).  Fortunately, after 24 hours, I was there to feed him.  So… now to why our anniversary was cut short…

So we get to the campground around 6:30, set up, argue about setting up, eat, go swimming, do some fishing.  Saturday morning, I woke up early and fed the ducks.  We spent some time figuring out how to get our charcoals hot enough and make them stay hot enough to cook breakfast and then finally ate.  We did a lot that morning.  We went swimming, rode bikes, played games, ate ice cream, played mini golf.  Around mid afternoon, we were sitting outside.  It was BLAZING hot and sunny.  Tim was fishing, I was snacking.  We decide we’ve had enough of the heat and humidity and want to go swimming.  We go in our behemoth-sized tent (we got an 8-person tent for camping trips with our kids) to change.  We decide to take a nap instead.  We were napping no more ten minutes when my father-in-law came by to say hi.  Emerging from the tent, we notice a difference in weather and Tim’s dad just happen to have a weather radio.  We turned it on, it predicted 60-70 mph winds and we were in an open area with a giant tent (not staked in either).  We decide its best to pack up and go to my Mom and Dad’s house for the night.  I no sooner go into the tent and it starts to try to blow over on me!!  We literally had to throw everything down and throw it in the cars.  We no sooner get the stuff in the cars and it start pouring rain!  We got a rain check and will definitely be going back to that campground later in the summer.  Yes, its crappy that we got rained and winded out, but we really did have a good time.

So Levi is SIX WEEKS today!  I know this is a month and a half, but I think it sounds younger if I say six weeks.  He has started smiling (real smiles, not gas!) and drools a lot now!  He also “talks” more than what he needs just to communicate.  He is such an intelligent baby and so beautiful!  I weep at every change and rejoice at every milestone passed!  Why do they have to grow up?  I need another one.  Tim and I decided if we have another boy, we will name him Liam.  Still have Alice picked out for a girl.  But I REALLY must have a second baby.  However, I would like a good two years with Levi before I’m pregnant again.
