Thanks to Grandpa Sorensen (his sweat genes) we now have to put a cool wash cloth on Brigham's head...only while he eats. He works up such a sweat that he gives himself heat rash! It shows me what he would have looked like if he was born a girl...VERY pretty! :)

Next Tuesday I get to drive up to meet my dad in Vegas where he will be for work and then drive back to Utah with him! I get to stay for 2 weeks! I'm so excited! Mikey will be gone a lot during that time and figured I would go insane if I was home alone with Brigham that whole time. We will be there during my birthday so maybe we'll be able to celebrate a little...that is if Grandma and Grandpa don't mind :)
I am still getting used to the sleep deprivation...for those of you who know me, that should be no surprise I'm still not used to it. Brigham is getting SO big! He is 6 and a half weeks old. He has also found out that he can turn his head, he flings it from side to side and goes absolutely nuts! He's going to rub off his mullet! :( So sad!
As for me I am still recovering, I still have a little bit of pain but things are good. I did my first workout in months and thought I was going to die! I'm going to try to lose 45 pounds within the next few months to fit into my wedding dress again when Mikey, Brigham and I get sealed in the temple.
Wish me luck on my drive alone to Vegas :)

Cute Video

Just thought I would share this cute video so everybody could see what a cutie he is! And look at those thighs!

5 weeks already??

Well we have survived over 5 weeks! WHEW!! Last Monday we took Brigham to the Dr. due to an over paranoid mom :) He had a white spot on the roof of his mouth and was worrying me, luckily nothing is wrong but we did get him weighed and he is a wopping 10 lbs. 3 oz.!! Big guy! He is starting to smile at me when I say hi to him (makes everything all worth it) When he is half asleep he even laughs! Cracks me up everytime. He still loves his mobile and whenever I feel like I just need a break or need food I put him under that and he is happy for at least 5 minutes! He is a very observant baby and I can tell he is going to be a handful once he gets moving on his own. He wants to sit up and move around already! Today I put him in his bouncy seat and he was trying so hard to sit up! He holds his head up which he has done since the day he was born.

He has HUGE thighs which he got from his mommy of course! and he is changing every single day!

We also survived Mikey's first trip out of town...barely! It was extremely difficult and if it wasn't for my awesome ward members bringing me dinner I probably wouldn't have eaten the whole time. One day I totally forgot to eat anything til somebody brought me an awesome dinner.

We also survived our first trip out of town all together. Mikey's brother David got married this last weekend so we spent 2 and a half days down in Phoenix. I do not recommend that to anybody with a newborn! We had a blast but...I wouldn't do t again. Brigham did great it was mom who was stressed out :) He absolutely loved all the extra people to hold and love him and I loved all the help too! I think he gets bored when its just me and him at home. Mikey went on another business trip this week and just got home tonight, we did 10 times better this time, I think we are both finally getting used to our new lives.

I forgot to mention last time that it was Mikeys 31st birthday the beginning of this month and I totally spaced it and didnt even celebrate! I'm a horrible wife! Anyways Happy birthday Mikey!

He loves sleeping on momma's chest

Big smile, I was teasing him with the binky and he thought it was hilarious

Another smile...isn't he so stinkin cute

Giving me attitude

2 weeks old

Well our little guy is now 2 and a half weeks old! crazy! We took him to his 2 week appt and he now weighs 8 lbs 13 oz and is 21 inches long! He is definitely a big eater! (when he wants to be) Lately he will be eating for about 2 minutes and either fall asleep or just gnaw on the bottle, if he falls asleep it lasts for maybe 5 minutes and then he is wide awake again! He has a cute personality already. He absolutely loves his hands! They are always by his face, in his mouth or trying to hold onto his bottle. He loves to look at any lights he can, loves his mobile in his crib, absolutely loved his first submerged bath last night and stretches just like his daddy :) He is kind of a sissy though, he whines and whimpers in his sleep all the time! He scares himself all the time with his HUGE burps or by his sneezes. He is getting better at not peeing on us when we change him, though he still does it a few times a week, its a boy thing I guess?
Mom and dad are getting a little more used to the lack of sleep, Mikey has been a life saver for me! He takes most of the nighttime feedings and lets me sleep a little longer. He says he is doing it because next week he leaves town for a few days for the first time since Brigg was born. Everyone pray for me please! I have already lost about 28 lbs and still counting! YAY!  Here are a few pics of the cute guy!


Just chillin with his hand down his pants...Mikey thinks he looks like Grandpa Sorensen again

He looks like a gangsta
