Thanks to my amazing friend Emily, we now have a new name! Yay! I guess I could wait for more suggestions, but...well I won't. =)
I'm sure you are all smart enough to understand why the name "Keeping Tabbs" is so perfect, so I'm not going to explain it.
So, on to other more important news. My mother has given us 100 dollars to make everything legal. I've done all the research and we will be going to the court house Next week to get the license. Once that is in our possession and the waiting period is other (3 days after the license is issued) then we will be going to the court house again with Holly and one of Matt's guy friends, as witnesses, and we will be signing the papers. Although that will be our our "legal wedding" we will not be celebrating that day. To us, we have been married since September 9, 2009. That is our wedding day. The day we go in front of the judge to legalize it is just a technicalities, that day wont be remembered.

Need New Name Now!
I love alliteration. =) But anyway, I think I want to rename this blog. Yes most of my post will inevitably be about my honeymoon baby. But every now and then I feel like writing about Matt, or Holly and Gabriel or me, and I would feel weird writing about all that if the name of my blog is "My Honeymoon Baby". Now I know what you are thinking..."This lady is a freak! Who cares what the name of her blog is. It's not in the rule books that you can only write about what the name says the blog is going to be about." (if that made any sense..) But if you know me at all then you know that I like things a certain way and they will be that way if I want them to be. Problem: I can't for the life of me come up with a nice, catchy title. I seem to have lossed my creative bone, and can't think of anything that would fit with all that I want to write about. Everything I've come up with sounds weird and stupid.
Oh! How about "The Life of a Portland Mommy" I just came up with it...we can try it out for a little while and see what we think. Maybe that's too long. Anybody got any good ideas?
Ok...on to other things.
Elliott has slept 6-8 hour stretchs for the last 4 nights! Yay! I do believe they would classify that as "sleeping through the night" Although, she goes to sleep usually about 9 (sometimes 8, sometimes 10, but mostly 9) so that mean she's waking up any where from 3 to 5. So it deffinatly does not feel like she is sleeping through the night. And I don't go to sleep until about an hour, sometimes 2, after she's asleep. And with the whole breastfeeding thing, I'm awake an hour before she wakes, because I've soaked the sheets or I feel like I'm going to explode. (Usually both) Thankfully I know that it wont stay like this. My milk production will even out and fit it's self to Elliott's schedule.
I'm soooo glad Holly and Gabriel are here. If they weren't I would be all alone alll day long! And I know I would be deep into depression with out them. Yes right now things are a little cramped, with 3 grown ups and 2 children in a tiny one bedroom apartment. But we get out almost daily. We've found a couple of parks with in walking distance, and there is a little "fountain park" (don't know what else to call it) that we can play in on hot days. I think I've got some pictures I'll show you. It's like a little court yard or somthing with a fountain that was built to play in. It's got picnic tables and chairs and a little cafe. It's a little farther than walking distance but it's only one stop on the train so it's still rather close.

See!! It's nice, huh?
6 Weeks
I'm not very good and staying on top of this am I? Well can you blame me? Elliott is 6 weeks old today, and quite the handful. But I love it!
She's been pretty cranky the last few days, but she's always graced us with her smile. Such a beautiful smile. =)

Every few nights she'll sleep for a good 6 hours and than 4 hours. But she's still mostly in a 4-3-3 or a 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- (it seems like it never ends!) But we're doing good. She's finally fitting in the 0-3 month outfits! Which is awesome because we have some really cute ones that I love putting her in. I'm just sad we don't have any head bands to put on her so everyone knows she's a girl if she's in something neutral colored.
((I know this is a week late, since she will actually be 7 weeks tomorrow, but I did write this last week, I just never got to finish it and well now here we are a week later. I'll make a new post with more in it later))
