Due Date!
















So today was officially my due date. Wow.










Last weekend, Brian and I made a trip out of the house (our first non-necessity trip) to Babies R Us to pick up a few things and then to a park to try out our new little stroller. We ended up buying a little baby scale to keep track of the weight of our little one. Well, news, he is now 7 1/2 lbs! A perfect birth weight had he stayed in. It will be fun to keep track of his weight.


We are all doing well here in LA. I also made another trip out of the house today to visit two friends who have also recently had kids - it was a wonderful difference from my days inside our apartment and I love sharing my experiences with other new moms. I am feeling more and more comfortable to leave the house and enjoy being mobile a bit more. I still am not quite ready to expose him to larget crowds, but with each passing day he will get stronger. He still has his cold, but according to the doctor, it could take 2-3 weeks for him to clear his congestion. We'll hang in there. Liam continues to eat well and look more and more chubby.


So, Liam is basically still in some preemie outfits people have bought for him and his onesies, but still can't quite fit into some of the newborn things his has. And unfortunately the one Halloween outfit we had didn't quite fit in length. I put him in it, but it didn't last long - his legs are too short still for it! We didn't do much for Halloween and nobody stopped by for candy, though we did here the USC students in our neighborhood get a little crazy.

Well, Brian took his test which was quite grueling. He will find out whether or not he passed in about 3 months - just long enough to forget he took it and then be surprised by the news.

Tomorrow Brian's Dad is making a trip to LA to see his grandson! And next week, my Dad and Maureen are coming out to visit. We are looking forward to introducing him to some other family! I think it is good that he is older - he is starting to be awake a little more during the day, but still acting like a newborn, and sleeping lots, hence all of my pictures.


Well, hope you enjoy some pictures!

I've been thinking of you, and looking forward to this day for you. The pics are great...love the photographer in you! He'll soon be in 0-3 month clothes, and won't stop there for long :-) So glad you're getting out a bit more...sanity is SOOOO worth it! And those other new moms are the best encouragement in the world...it's so nice to not feel alone. I'll be joining your new mom club in 10-1/2 weeks.
