It's been some time since I last wrote, and I'm sorry about that. Time seems to escape me these days. By the time I have Domi down for a nap I need to clean his bottles, do some laundry, empty the dishwasher, and then he's up again. I'm working a couple days a week too, and he comes along with me. I wish money grew on trees....it would be pretty awesome to be a full time stay at home Mom. But I know a million Mom's have that same wish. I'm lucky I am able to have the flexible schedule that I have.
Dominic is 7 weeks old today! I can hardly believe it! He has changed in so many ways. Not only is he bigger, taller, chubbier...he's also awake longer during the day, bright eyed and looking around, focusing on objects, cooing, making lots of little noises. He smiled his first non gas smile the other day. Rob was talking to him and he broke out into a big grin...it was the raddest thing I have ever seen:) He's becoming more and more interactive and it's just more and more fun. I have a better understanding of what he needs now. When he cries, I can usually figure out if it's because he has a dirty diaper, he's hungry or he just wants to snuggle. 7 weeks doesn't seem very long, but I have learned so much. I fall in love a little more every day when I see little Cubby's face...he just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
Rob and I have had a couple nights away from the baby, which I am so thankful for. They have been huge in helping me get back to feeling normal and not so overwhelmed. Just one night where I'm able to cut loose a little bit is awesome. Spending that time with Rob as his girl, having a couple of drinks, getting out and hanging with other adults lol. I have to admit, when we left Domi with the babysitter last week for our big birthday dinner, I spent a lot of time talking about him, showing off photos. I'm one of those Moms. I never thought I would be, but I am:)
I've noticed that I do a lot of things with one hand....I usually have Domi in the other hand so it's been a skill I have acquired that I think all Mom's have. He's getting heavier now, and I don't think I'll be able to do the one handed thing too much longer, but I'm enjoying it while I can.
We're just days away from hopefully getting a new car. I have picked one out, and now we just have to go buy it. Next week is the target time, so fingers crossed.
I'm doing much better emotionally. I'm not perfect, but I feel a little more sane, not so up and down, crying at the drop of a hat. There is still some adjustments and improvements to be made, but I'm a work in progress at this point. I'm trying my best and that's all I can do.
I think overall, we're doing really well. Rob and I love our Cubby so much and we are loving every day with him. He's such a good baby and so smart already. He's already starting to hold his head up and when he does "tummy time" with Rob, he pushes his little legs and crawls all the way up, all by himself! He has his two month check up in a couple weeks and it will be interesting to see how much he weighs. He's a little chubby cubby these days and he's filling out nicely.
Life is good, and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
