Of course it is bittersweet, because that was the last real reminder of our time together in my womb. That's what connected us for 9 months. Luckily, I am also his new source of food, so the connection continues.
He is a hungry boy and tomorrow we go to the doctor for our two week check-up and I'm hoping he's back up to his original birth weight of 9 lbs. 5 oz. I'll keep you posted what his new stats are.
Today, I also had a dose of reality. I was at home alone with Connor and I got the big idea to clean our bathroom. Connor was sleeping so I figured it was a good time. Well, just as I was finishing up, Connor wakes up and starts fussing. I had all the stuff we have on our countertop on the floor, so I needed to still put that away. At first I was trying (and sort of failing) to put stuff back with one arm as I held Connor in the other. But since he still needs neck support, this was not really working and it was taking forever. So I bit the bullet and laid Connor back down, assuming he would cry, and he did. In my rush to finish up the bathroom, I dropped a salt scrub that then spilled on the floor. Now, I need to sweep and vaccuum this up. As I pick up Connor and get the vaccuum cleaner, the phone rings. I couldn't help but laugh and it just made me realize what life with an infant can really be like. All was well within minutes, but for those moments before, it was a little bit like chaos. Oh goodness.
Connor continues to impress us. He had a rough night a few nights ago, but since then, he has done really well. He's eating well and even letting me rest a bit at night. I think slowly but surely we are getting to know each other. It's such a learning experience. I'm loving it.
Enjoying a yummy pasta dinner and one of my first glasses of wine in my new "Mommy's Sippy Cup" wine glass.
Connor is so advanced. He is already grabbing things on his bouncer. Ok, maybe it was an accident, but I'm still saying he's advanced...brilliant even. Hee hee.
Contented baby equals a contented Mommy.
