Hi Ladies,
Sorry I'm late with this thread - I took DS into school today to visit my coworkers and students and kind of spaced!
DS has been napping better this week. It still can be a struggle, but there is a noticeable difference.
He has started grabbing for things that interest him. He touched my face the other day and I had a full blown mommy swoon!
One night, he slept 10 hours! I don't count on it happening again, but it was a great early Mother's Day present!
Re: ***What went well this week?***
This is more of an AW, but I finally ordered a nursing bra. I'm super excited.
She's cooing and talking so much more now. She tracks her daddy across the room too, like she wants to follow his every move. I can tell it makes him feel good that she loves him and is interested in him!
DS had the smallest giggle this week for the first time. : I definitely had tears in my eyes. Amazing!!
We got in a 9 hour sleep!
DS has been very talkative. As cute as it is to have conversations with him, I had flash forwards of the days when I will be telling him it is rude to interrupt the adults (ha!)
And today he had a wonderful 2 hour nap... On the sofa, not in my arms and he slept on his side. Of course it was supervised. It's the longest nap he has taken out of my arms in over a month.
Tonight we attempt arms out swaddling since he was 3 weeks old.
I officially quit too! My boss was "sweet" too. She was fake sweet though lol. Because I'm good friends with some co workers who said she was walking around smiling and excited that I quit. Because now she can hire someone who isn't better than her at marketing so she won't look like a complete idiot anymore. Ha.
I got a bunch of cupcake orders!! Yay!
ALso, got DD's 2 month shots without a hitch. She seems totally fine!
DS got back to his regular routine, which was such a relief. He even took a 3.5 hour nap yesterday!
We added in an evening nap (6:30 - 7:30) and now DS is sleeping from 10-5 most nights. C'mon, 10-6! We're so close!
We had a great trip to the grocery store - he loves looking around and now that his head control is getting better, it's easier to wear him without him swinging everywhere while I shop.
We got two giggles this week...amazing.
I took him in to my high school and to meet the Athletic Director (my boss). The AD was so excited to see him. I coach one of his daughters and you can tell he is such a good daddy. He's had a rough week (turns out the asst. water polo coach was having relations with a student), so it was nice to surprise him with a visit.
I think I finally came to peace with breastfeeding which is great because I really wanted to find peace with it. I can now fully enjoy all the parts I enjoyed from the beginning and cope with all the unglamorous parts.
