Chris was able to take last friday off so we decided to go to Ellensburg on thursday. First off, he surprised me by getting done around 10am so I was rushing to pack everyone. Chris said that he had to run by a client's house to fix some wiring. We left the house at 11:30am. While at the client's house, Carver had a blow out that not only got his clothes dirty but his carseat as well. For those who don't know, we have bucket seats in our car. Let me tell you, its VERY difficult to change a baby on a bucket seat. He was screaming (thankfully the client wasn't home) and squirming around and I'm trying to do damage control. Chris finishes with the wiring and tries to help by holding Carver in place. oh, to top it all off, there were massive mosquitos at this place - I mean the size of a nickel! So we got him cleaned up and i jumped into the backseat to get him in clean clothes and closed the door to keep the blood-suckers away.
After that fiasco, Chris was hungry so we went to Taco Time in the Harbor but everyone and their mother was there so we decided to start heading to Ellensburg and stop in Fife. By the time we got to Fife, Carver was hungry again so I sat in the car to nurse him. In all the hussle, Chris forgot his debit card in the car so it took forever to get our food.
After everyone's bellies were full, we tried again to make our way to Ellensburg. we got as far as the top of the pass where we got stuck in traffic. Apparently, they're doing construction between Exit 52 & 54. So we had this genius idea to get off at Summit West (exit 52) and get back on at Exit 54. So we're cruising along, pass a sign that says that you have to get on the freeway at mile 53... get all the way to mile 54 and the on-ramp is closed!!! So we have to go back to the on-ramp at Central (mile 53) and sit in traffic. With the time we lost, we could've just stayed on the freeway.
Once we were trough that, it was smooth sailings to Ellensburg. When we got to town we went to mom's work cause everyone wanted to see Carver.
So, needless to say, it was a very long day.

Post-Delivery Appointment... and update
I had my 6 week postpartum appointment on Monday. I was curious to see how much I weighed since I hadn't weighed myself since delivery. I weighed 102lbs! At my final prenatal appt I was 122lbs so I was pretty pumped. The dr said that my uterus was back in shape and gave me a prescription for birth control as well as schedule an appt for a pap smear in November. Yea!
I feel back to my pre-pregnant self but it was nice to hear it from the dr.
In other news, Carver is so strong that he has made nursing painful (he cracked my nipples) so I've been pumping bottles for him. It can get very frustrating since he's usually pretty fussy while I'm pumping. It also is a lot more time consuming.
Today was the first day that I went somewhere without Carver. I had a nail appt so Carver hung out with daddy. Chris only caled me twice - and that was to ask where the pacifier and bottle nipple were. Other than that, I'm assuming that everything went ok. :)
Well that's it for now. As soon as Carver goes to sleep I'll post some pictures from the last couple weeks.

5 weeks old
So I totally missed the opportunity to blog on his actual one month birthday... bad blogger that I am. He turned 5 weeks old yesterday and is gaining weight. All those wrinkles around his knees that we found so adorable are going away. :( Carver and I have been hanging out at home a lot lately so that I can *try* to get caught up on the house and business stuffs. I finally finished the birth announcements yesterday and will go in the mail today. I am sooo glad to have those done and off my mind. Now, I just need to catch up on scrapbooking. haha
Yesterday, Carver and I got to hang out with Auntie Kim. We hadn't seen her in a couple weeks so it was good bonding for the two of them. We went to the mall and I got a few new tops since mine seem to have shortened in length due to my huge boobs!
Our friends, Ayami and Jeff, are coming up this morning to meet Carver. Ayami was part of our Japanese exchange program and then she moved back here to go to college. She ended up getting married and now lives in Seattle.
My mom is coming over this afternoon and tomorrow she is heading up to Malibu tomorrow with Grandma Pat for a week.
I think that's it for now. We've been laying low so there's not that much to catch ya'll up on. I'll post some more pictures later today. *hopefully* :)
