Happy Morning

Lil boy was so happy again this morning. He just wakes up making baby noises, coos, then eats, then lays down and talks and smiles. It was a very nice morning. Makes a girl not even mind waking up at 7 am on a Saturday. He did so good last night. He slept from 11pm till 4 am then till 7 am. I think I can function on that.
My brother and SIL are moving into their house today. Nathan is supposed to help them this afternoon. Then we are supposed to go to MILs bday party tonight. I thought my mom wanted to hang out today, but she hasn't called yet. I'm ok with a lazy day. I did get those picture frames, so I might try to get them ready to hang and nag Nathan till I get him to hang them. Of course, I could hang them myself, but he is really particular about pictures on the wall. I'll give him a chance this weekend to hang them, and if he doesn't, I'll hang them next week.

First smiles!

So we got our first smiles from little boy yesterday. He had what I call practice smiles earlier, but yesterday was the first big happy grin from just being a happy boy! This morning he woke up at 6:30 am in a very happy mood and the three of us just laid there and talked, and he smiled and opened his mouth big. It was wonderful. Then he puked all over the place... Had to change the sheets and his clothes... Life is good.

I'm hoping to get some pictures framed and hung on the wall today! My brother and SIL are moving this weekend, so my mom is keeping Mya, and we are supposed to go shopping tomorrow with the kids. We'll see how that goes.

Finally!

He finally pooped yesterday afternoon! He is feeling much better now thank you very much. No more vomiting either. I am feeling better too. I might try to go and visit some of the neighbors today that have babies. Lil boy (and I) were up from 2:30 till 3:30 am. Not so fun. He wasn't fussy, just awake. I was so tired. I think back to a few weeks ago and wonder how I managed to stay up all night long. Nathan will be off tomorrow so it will be nice to have him around to help. I might try to go and buy some picture frames for our family picture. The baby is good when I take him out, but my back is hurting too much to take that dang stroller in and out of the car. So heavy!

Dr visit

So the dr didn't do anything for the baby. He told us to try the q-tip in the butt, but that didn't work. And the Karo syrup last night... not so good. He vomited it all up, all over him and me. I was freaking out screaming for Nathan, and he was outside. The baby had vomit in his face, in his nose and mouth, and in his eyes. He couldn't breathe. I had to suction it out. It was so scary. And it was so nasty. But we cleaned up and survived. He didn't cry at all. Just blehhhhh and looked at me. Then he slept till 1:30, then till 3:30, then 5:30. Then we got him up at 7:00 to go to the dr. He vomited everytime he got up. Dr said it's normal.

It's official

No poo poo for 3 days for lil boy. I don't know what the deal is. I called the dr. He is eating fine. We'll see what they say to do. He slept better last night, from 10:30 pm till 2:20 am then till 5:30 am then napped for a while on and off till 10 am. And he is getting better at putting himself to sleep. He just lays there and looks around for a while and then goes to sleep.

Never underestimate the power of a tiny penis... I was too slow changing the diaper, and he peed all over his playpen bed! Thank goodness it didn't get me in the face. So there's another load of laundry!

The mall

So I went to the dr and got some meds which will hopefully make me feel better soon. I dropped off the prescription and needed to burn 1.5 hours till it was ready. So I went to the mall. I think that if lil boy can be around me and not get sick, his immune system is pretty darn good. Plus it was during the day on a weekday and not too crowded. I went to Motherhood for some nursing bras, and there was this little girl about 3 years old who was there with her mother and grandmother. She saw the baby and came up to the stroller and looked... then tried to touch. I said, "You can look, but don't touch," hoping that her mom or granda would come and get her, but no such luck. Then she asked the baby if he wanted to play with her. I said, "He is too little to play with you." Still no help. Finally after I had to push her hands away, her grandma came and told the little girl to get away from the baby. The lady asked how old the baby is, I told her, and she again told the little girl to get away. I said, "She's just curious." Then the lady said, "Well your baby is very young and fragile." Like I don't know that. What did she want me to do, slap the little girl? I was trying to be nice without letting her touch the baby!

Still tired

I think my tiredness is from still being sick. I am ready to kick this cold so I can enjoy the rest of this week! Lil boy woke up at 11, 2, 4, and 6:30. He is sleeping now. I'm going to the family dr to see if they want to give me anything. I think I have sinus infection. I've been having weird dreams! And since my sleep is so interrupted, sometimes I remember a different dream every time I wake up. One of them last night was that Nathan wanted to sell the house and live in an apartment! Weird! I was having to just go along with it. I really like our house. It is a lot of upkeep, but I hope we stay here for a long time. It's nice with the baby that we have a living room upstairs that doesn't have to stay perfectly neat, and the ones downstairs can be used when people come over. I even think I've figured out how to fix it up for my SIL to keep the kids in their. I have an old hutch that will be perfect to use as a changing table. It has cabinets and drawers that can hold diapers and supplies and toys. And I have a chest that is empty for toys. And she has Mya's old crib that we can put in their for lil boy's naps. That will be good since Mya won't be able to pick up the baby from the crib (well unless she climbs in), but it will be less tempting than him laying in the bassinet.
