You can see more pictures of him on our gallery at the following link: http://www.haverhillstudios.com/gallery/babythomas. We update it fairly often. For those and other pictures, Alex and I have taken over the years, visit http://www.haverhillstudios.com/gallery/.Times have changed
Life has definitely changed since Solomon has come along. I go to bed when he does or shortly thereafter, which is usually around 10:00 pm. We never used to go to bed that early. Of course, now whenever I look forward to anytime I can sleep. Another sign of change, I recently received my first issue of "Parents" magazine. Wow! I never would have subscribed to that even a few months ago. It's great though. Thanks Cherie for sending it to me!!
Solomon
Solomon was born on September 15th at 10:20pm. He was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 18 1/2" long. He is great. Don't get me wrong. He was a pain at first, not so much because he was a pain, but because it was a huge lifestyle change, I wasn't used to having zero sleep, and I was a hormonal mess. It is starting to become a lot more fun now that he's a bit older. He's smiling and actually only woke up one time last night!!!
Staying home
Staying home is really weird for me. I haven't done this since I was in college. It was really hard the first few weeks. I didn't feel well and couldn't go anywhere on my own. Now, I am able to get out and have had lunch with many friends and family. I make it a point to get out everyday. I think going back to work on December 17th will be hard, but I am also excited to get back out into the adult world again. We have had a lot of visitors over the past few weeks. In fact, Phil, Amanda and Miles came by last night for a visit. Thanks for all of the well wishes, gifts and visits we've received from everyone. It's nice to know how much support we have out there.
My little man is asleep next to me right now. I think he's in a growing stage as he's been eating a ton and sleeping more the past few days.
Tonight
Tonight we are headed to the gym and the grocery store. One of the hardest things for me to do is not to eat all day since I'm around food. I'm glad we have some healthy foods around so I can pig out on those instead of chips or candy bars.
From now on
I will try to post daily. I'll definitely have time for that while I'm off work. I promise the posts will be more interesting than this one too!
Before I leave, we took this picture of my family on Halloween. I think it turned out great.

Great job, Kelly! It will be nice to stay in touch and see new pictures. Keep them coming, as well as pictures of you and Alex. Tell our other friends from high school & college to write me with their updates, too!
You look great Kelly - you cannot tell you just had a baby! And he is so cute - you can really see some personality now! I know you will be a great mom!! Enjoy!
Damn it! I was hoping to be the first to post a comment on your blog. BBBB (Big Bad Brad Burton) beat me to it. 3rd place isn't bad. LOL. Anyhoo...
I love all of the pics and I'm glad that you are enjoying motherhood.
Wow, it's like a class reunion on your blog, Kelly. :) I'm glad you have a blog and I'll check it every day! Did you and Erin coordinate starting one on the same day?
I know what you mean about how fun it is staying home, and how you try to get out every day, and yet how getting back into the adult world will be nice too. All of it - I know!
I love the pics!!!
Kelly- I love being able to keep up with your new status as a mom. Solomon is a handsome boy with a beautiful smile. I love the pictures! You look great and I enjoyed seeing you at Brent and Tammy's. Great job!
