Well things are going great with baby D. He just gets more adorable everyday! I am SO excited because I think he has gotten his days and nights right. I have slept about 6 hours the last 2 nights (each night). It has been GREAT!! I feel great all day and he's awake ready to play and then he wakes up only one time to feed about 3am and that's it! Mike has been keeping him up until about 11:30 and then I feed him then and then not again until about 3 and then again at 6am. so it's not bad at all!! He is such a good baby (knock on wood). I am feeling great also (knock on wood). hehe. I have already dropped about 22 lbs of the 28, so that's good. All in about a week and a half! I was shocked when i weighed myself. Now if my pants will ever fit the same, I doubt it! hehe. But oh well, it was all worth it! I am still pretty sore and stuff, but I am ready to get out and about and start taking him places. We are going to wait as long as we can but we can only stay cooped up in the house for so long! Things have definitely been alittle more tough with Mike back at work, but as soon as he gets home, he takes him for alittle while so I can do some things for myself or go run any errands I wanted to just to get out. So it's going ok. I'm just ready to be able to take him out of the house. He has a dr apt next week, I"ll probably ask her when is a good time to start doing that then. Breastfeeding is going great. I have started pumping some bottles and freezing some also though. We are thinking of introducing the bottle to him maybe this weekend or something. We aren't sure yet though. I have heard that if he is nursing without any problems that it shouldn't hurt to introduce bottles, he is doing so great with it, we figured he should be ok. I already tried a pacifier, Mike doesn't want to use them, but I said you aren't home all day and up all night with him!! (this was when he wasn't sleeping at night). He didn't like it at all though. He pushed it out everytime, so Mike might get his wish! hehe. I think it's just too big for him right now or something. I might try again when he's alittle older, I don't see a problem with them.
What else?? MIke's family is coming in this weekend, that will be cool for his aunt and sister to finally meet Dylan, i"m sure they are excited. I hope he's a good boy for them. :) He's pretty good though as long as he's full. He's just like his daddy, when he's hungry he wants to eat NOW!!!! My back is killing me because everytime he starts crying when he's hungry I get alittle frazzled because i"m like ok I have to hurry and I end up in these awkward positions that I get stuck in the whole time he's feeding. They kept telling me bring the baby to you and I keep forgetting that! Oh and I applied for this job a few days ago that sounded like a pretty good job. I really just applied not expecting anything and they called me back!! I was like wait, I can't have a job now! hehe. I figured I would go along with it and maybe it will be 5 weeks before they decide anything anyways, so maybe I can do it. So I had a phone interview with this guy. He said he would call at 3pm. So I fed Dylan about 20 mins til then so he would be full and happy and sleeping maybe. Well the guy had a conference call that ran long so he didn't end up calling until 3:30 when Dylan was WIDE AWAKE and cranky. hehe. So I fed him again while I was on the phone interviewing and reading over my resume on the computer. I am such the multi tasker now! :) It was pretty funny. So I think it went ok. Except he asked me one question and I didn't understand what he meant so I kinda started to bs the answer and I guess he caught on because he then explained to me what he meant. oops. Oh well, I wasn't worried. If it works out, cool, if not, oh well. I know it's going to be SO hard to leave Dylan. I really wish I could just stay at home with him, that would make me happy, but we just can't do it. :(
Well, I guess that's it for now. I'll keep trying to post some pics and stuff to keep everyone posted on us.
AWWWWW LOOK AT SWEET BABY DYLAN...WITH HIS EYES OPEN!!! SO SWEET.
ReplyDeleteCAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AND HUG HIM.
IT WILL BE HARD TO LEAVE HIM FOR SURE WHEN IT COMES TIME TO GO BACK TO WORK.
BUT YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
He's precious Jill! Count your blessings! =)
