Well here we are concluding the first week back to work..... it went well. Of course there are many things to do but overall the day is good. I can't even explain how good it felt to leave Brady with GIGI, my mom, all week. I can't explain how fortunate I feel that she is watching him, I felt nothing but happiness all week knowing where he was. I can't even imagine how horrible it would have been dropping him off with a stranger! I want to hug everyone that I know that has had to endure that first week of dropping them off :(! I know that one day I will have to do it, but I will just sit and enjoy this while I can!
This little angel of ours has, should I dare to say it, slept through the night BIG TIME earlier this week! Saturday he slept from 10:00 to 7 and we had to wake him up at 7! Sunday he went down at 10 and slept til 4:45! It’s great, he consistently sleeps for atleast 5 hours during the night so we are fortunate.... He has been doing consistently well! We go on Monday to see how big this little bear is! I am excited for that, but absolutely horrified at him getting shots. Luckily or should I say hopefully Brad will be off on Monday like he so often is as they are slow… Man I hate that cry where you know they are in pain… he had one I think it was Sunday night from a gas bubble that about had me in tears! We think he has developed a bit of colic although it is nothing compared to what I have read it could be so I am not griping in the least. However, he has consistently had about a 10-20 minute span of I HATE LIFE cries :)… There is not much you can do but love him so much (to keep your patience high lol) and be so soft, gentle, and caring to him. I was told about a product called gripe water before I had him and might I say that that stuff is AWESOME! We use it frequently for hiccups, not needing to give him much at all.. however, it is for colic to as it helps their gassiness so last night we tried giving him that when he got his cry going later last night…. It helped a lot.. I think the biggest thing I hate so far is the gas that their immature systems have to fight with. It is the most helpless feeling and horrible at that when you can’t help them. My biggest fear though for those same reasons is TEETHING…. As I dread anytime I have a tooth pain I don’t want him in any pain!!
I can’t believe that 2 months have already gone by! Looking back I see all that we have gone through and learned… happy, scary, exciting stuff. There are so many things that I have learned about myself, being a momma, A WIFE, about Brad, and most definitely about Brady, that make me so happy and confident about where we are and where we are going! I remember like yesterday, the first 2 weeks of motherhood, YIKES! But making it through that and then moving forward- AWESOME! He is such a great addition to our family and I can’t wait for all that is in store! 3-4 months seems like it is such a HUGE transitional time for a child, gassiness and colic get better… that is what the first AAAMEN you will hear out of me is for, becoming a little man :)! I am going to try to sneak some smile pictures this weekend… he seems to like to cock his eyebrow at the camera wondering what in the heck momma keeps stickin in his face with bright flashes of sunlight it seems :) when I try to take a pic of him smiling.
