China, Give me back my boyfriend!

Well Brian might be staying in China a little bit longer than expected. We are still hoping he will be here by Saturday but who knows! I miss him so much and I know Layla is lonely without her daddy. WE MISS YOU COME HOME!!! 

One Month O my!

Little- Big Layla Konar! 

I can't believe Little Layla has been in our lives for a whole month. She is so great! She turned a month on Friday & is growing everyday. Brian is unfortunately in China at the moment for business. I know he is working hard for us & I couldn't be prouder! Everything is pretty quiet here. Brian will be back on Saturday & I can't wait to see him. We miss him so much. I can't wait until Layla smiles at him! He will be taking that Monday off of work to spend some family time with Layla & I. Since he left a day earlier than we thought.. So we didn't get a last day together. To say the least I was furious!! But now I just miss him sitting at the computer. I have been talking to him at 3 in morning 5 in the morning because of the the whole 16 hour time difference! But he will be leaving Friday my time but China's saturday? I just know he will be here on Saturday! I will be cleaning like crazy before he comes. 

Layla is laughing so much now. She is starting to recognize the people around her. If she doesn't know you then she gives crazy looks! It's really funny. She yelled at me the other day. I had my back turned towards her fixing the pillows to feed her & she screeched at me. I turn around and she's smiling at me! She has been smiling so much this week. She looked into my eyes & smiled for the first time at me and I started crying and telling her how much I love her! I am so sad Brian is missing out! I haven't freaked out once since Brian has left. She also had her first bath in her bath tub last week. She DEFINITELY didn't enjoy it much but she got squeaky clean! Brian took the camera to Shanghai, I will post pics of this momentous occasion later on!  Then this week she did GREAT! She just chilled in the tub. I think she cried more getting her diaper changed after than in the bath tub. I guess I am finally getting a hold of this mommy thing or the coffee maker my parents bought me is working! 

My parents had a visit this weekend since Brian is gone they have been spending more time here with us. I watched grandma's boy with my dad it was awesome! My mom ended up spending the night Sunday to Monday. I don't know if she could handle waking up at 3,5, & 7. But she did a great job non the less. Layla slept with her! 

I have had lots of visitors with friends I haven't seen in month(s). My best friend Misty came by with Tacos, YUM & Roscoes the next day. Bailey (did the dishes) , Kelli, Nikki (brought In-N-Out) I have seen & Courtney (having coffee) tonight. My sister will be visiting later this week as well & hopefully Tania as well! It's really nice having the company & the help. I have some pretty amazing people in my life! 

What a week!

Silly Layla & 3 weeks

Brian's Family & I

Brian's Parents ( my fav. pic of the day)

It was soo windy & cold @ Sunset!

Aww Man! 

It was soo busy last week. First off, Brian's parents came a visited Layla all the way from Chicago. It was such a nice trip! They fell in love with Layla! I had so much fun even though it was so exhausting.  We went everywhere! Brian's mom brought Layla a whole suitcase full of baby clothes. I still have to hang them all up. They took us shopping at Cosco and Layla didn't enjoy that very much she freaked out! Poor Lay Lay! So I took her to the car and feed her. They ended up renting a car because we had soo much stuff. Layla loved spending time with Grandma & Grandpa. It was nice to spend some alone time with them. Well  the baby & I. I think it was the first time we have spent alone time together in the almost 5 years Brian & I have been together. I think we REALLY connected and I am really happy about that. *sigh of relief*! Anywho, we went house shopping most of the week. They put 3 offers down on some places but I don't think any of them will work out. I hope we find something soon. Pray for us!

They helped us out so much with Layla. They watched her while we napped. It was nice. They treated us to lunch & dinner every nite. They cooked most meals & it was nice to have a home cooked meal! We don't have the time for that anymore. His mom washed the dishes and kept everything tidey. How I miss them already! It was soo weird waking up on Sunday morning. Brian & I both felt like we had to meet them. 

Layla had her first breast milk bottle & did great. She didn't get confused at all thank goodness! 

Brian's sister also came out for the weekend. It was good to see her as well. Even though it was a short trip. 

On Valentines day was Pam's (Brian's mom) birthday so we went and had some Sushi. It was also Layla's first trip to the beach! We got some great pictures.

Layla had a lot of firsts this week  & she did wonderful. She slept most of the time in the van. She loved the ride. 

Brian's jeep kinda broke down on him on his parents first day here. But thank goodness they were here!  I knew it was going to. I think being a mom has given me a sixth sense I swear! I also have sonic hearing. 

I have so much cleaning to do. The laundry is piling up like crazy! But we got 3 loads done yesterday. I have to put those away as well. 

I better get to cleaning! 

2 weeks & more visits to come!

Layla is a whole 2 weeks and 3 days! I don't have any recent pictures. But... I shall soon. Grandma & Grandpa Konar are coming ALL the way from Chicago this weekend to see her. They are staying the whole week and I can't wait until they get to meet Layla. I think I will probably cry and you know I will standing there with the camera when they walk in! They will also be helping us in our condo search once again. I don't think I will be up for it because I am still sleep deprived. Plus, I am breast feeding and I don't feel comfy doing it in public! What can I say my boobs are huge!! haha.. Also Valentines weekend Brian's sister Auntie Megan will be coming down from Princeton! YAH! I love MEGAN!! I tried to clean yesterday for their visit but it didn't turn out so well. I ended up sleeping when my sister was here. She cooked Tuna Cassarole! YUM! Also, she washed the dishes and brought Layla a bunch of clothes!! It was a nice visit. So I am going to clean a little today & clean some more tomorrow before they get here. I can't believe they got such an early flight! haha.. I love it! Layla actually slept really well this morning. I was SOOO impressed. I told her I don't mind if she cries as long as she lets mommy sleep! Its going to be such a fun and exciting weekend. I can't wait. Well I have a diaper to change!
