The Fifth Week of Life with Noah!

I've had the posts for week 5, 6, 7 and 8 to finish up the weekly posts of the first few weeks of life with Noah ready for a few weeks...just had to add pictures! I need to get on it and get it finished so I can blog in the present again =)

Life got a little more normal in our schedule during the fifth week of life with Noah. We still had more of the Christmas season though =) So, not quite normal yet!

Things we did in week 5!

- Our first sister coffee date with Noah along and he did great!

- Sanctuary's first Monday evening sets!

- Noah started sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at night! Woo! Hoo!

- Brunch with ladies and babies from work! Noah's first experience at a restaurant!


- A few more visitors came over!

- My baby turned 1 month old! (picture last post!)

- Our first play date! Shauna and Kalia came over!


- Noah got to meet his Grandma and Grandpa Farrow for the first time! Yay!

Happy 5th week of life Noah!

The Fourth Week of Life with Noah!

The fourth week with Noah was lovely...lots of resting and recuperating from the busyness of the previous week of gatherings! So, the things we did list is smaller and more low key...which was really nice! After being so tired on Christmas Eve, I didn't leave the house for about 72 hours! Much needed =)

Things we did the fourth week!

- Relaxed and loved on my baby! I just keep wanting to take pictures of Noah when he's sleeping so cute =)






- Had more visitors from out of town! Our beloved Roman and Christina!


- Spent lots of time with my sister! I love that we are in the same place this Christmas =) I love her to pieces and so does my husband and my son =)



- Watched a lot of the Onething conference and went to one evening with the live webstream with the SHOP folk!

- Went for a walk with my baby!


- Had some adorable pictures taken on New Year's Eve by our friend Kristen! My baby is so good-natured and let us do whatever we wanted =) Then I went to bed by 10pm =)









- Had one more Christmas gathering on January 1! Nope, the Christmas season isn't done yet!

Happy 4 Weeks Noah! I love you! (No 4 week picture this week, but I took a 1 month picture during week 5!)

The Third Week of Life with Noah!

The third week of life with Noah was a little crazy over Christmas! We had 5 Christmas gatherings in 1 week! By the end of the fourth gathering on Christmas Eve, I was done and overwhelmed! What was I thinking going to so many gatherings so close to delivering my baby! That was little excessive! But I'm proud of us for doing so well that week now looking back!

Things we did the third week!

- Had Christmas with my mom and siblings! Got Team Canada stuff for Noah from the grandparents =)


- Had the biggest puke yet all over Auntie Stephanie (Noah loves to expel body fluids on his auntie!)


- Had more visitors over! And met Auntie Christina from Kansas City!


- Did some late minute Christmas shopping!

- Had Christmas with my mom's side of the family! Noah met the Doerksens and Great Grandma Doerksen for the first time!




- Had Christmas with Shane's siblings! Noah met his aunties, uncles and cousin on his daddy's side for the first time!


- Had our first Christmas as a family! We spent Christmas morning taking turns napping =) Then my sibs came over for supper in the evening!







Happy first Christmas Noah! You have made this year so much more special!
Yay for 3 weeks with our little man!
