A toast to gaining weight

This week has been a miserable one. Benjamin and I are finally recovering from a long week of really bad Colds. Luckily, Diego never got sick, woooo hoooo!
Even though we are sick we are getting more cozy in our new home. Cooking dinners, cleaning, and taking care of Benjamin has become our new lifestyle. A quite rewarding one in fact. The house is turning out beautiful, Benjamin is growing perfectly, and our dinners turn out better than we expect.
Being home all day is great! I love being with Benjamin all day. His morning giggles are the best thing in the world. His face is changing and he is starting to look more like Diego. He sleeps better at night and maybe it is because he is eating more, since we are trying to beef him up. We went to the doctor on Thursday and he only gained 4oz. So now he gets breastfed and then a bottle after to supplement my milk. Whatever it takes to help Benjamin sleep better and gain weight.
Speaking of gaining weight... Diego is on the same plan as Benjamin. He is super skinny and says he lost weight from all his built up nerves from when I was in the states with Staph Infection and trying to get the house ready. He would get up for work at 7, and then after he got off he would go straight to the house to start working so that we could move in. He would not get home until 11 at night. So as the two boys are on weight gaining plans, I am trying to lose weight. This is impossible while breastfeeding since I still need to get 2,000 calories a day, and I do not really have time to workout. My goal is to lose 6 pounds by my brothers wedding in January. Totally possible, just need to start getting to it.
We took my ring in to get sized this weekend and I feel so naked already without it. It will be ready in one week, and I cannot wait to finally wear it on my wedding ring finger.
And last but not least, Benjamin  rolled over for the first time today. I put him on his stomach for 15 minutes every day to practice lifting up his neck. Luckily, I was right there cause he flopped right over on his back. I guess the 15 minutes of Tummy Time no longer exists, but thats ok with me!


He lied. He slept pretty much the whole game.
