Well, Michael is one week old today! We are slowly adjusting to our new "normal." Today was my first day by myself with the kiddos. So, far it's been okay. Ash stayed home til 9 am to let me sleep in a bit. He fed M.C. (well at least tried to) she threw food on the floor and sat in time out! Yep, that was the beginning of the day. Then he left and I had feeding duty for M.G. and diaper changing. Clean up a little and then outside to take a stroller ride. Quite hot but fun to finally feel normal to walk up the street with the stroller. I hadn't been able to do this for a month. Too preggo!
We played outside for a bit and Mikey stayed in the shade of the garage. Of course, even as I am right by M.C. she falls backwards on her head off the playhouse. She was okay but just my luck. Ugg! I got a nap in. YEAH!! Michael is a good baby. He doesn't really cry all that much. (so far) knock on wood.
I've made the decision to not continue breast feeding, but I am trying to pump a few more times. I had a terrible time with Mary Caroline and this time around of course a boy is a boob champ but I am not a fan of it. It hurts and it's a lot of work along with Miss Mary Caroline around. It always makes me feel a little bad but you know Mary Caroline survived and has been healthy without breastfeeding. Plus, he sleeps really well at night. I feed at 12, 3, and 6 sometimes he'll sleep four hours. Which is common for formula babies. It's nice to be able to have the multiple caffeine in take again! I am not a happy person without it. So, just imagine me as a pregger person.
Signing off for now..... I have two more hours left till Ash gets home. I can do it!!!
