Driving is good advice, unfortunately I can't drive just yet, the Drs. are afraid if I get into a car accident I might kill myself -lol-  And unfortunately, I don't have a washer or a dryer at my convenience -lol- Last night.. I don't know what happened...someone gave me a loritab and ordered myself to bed.. I do know that Beau didn't get into bed until 4 and that's pretty much when I got up because he was squeaking every two seconds and that woke me up every time.  I feel much better after 6 hours of sleep, but I am still tired and now I have a rather persistent headache.  Oh well.  We have our first little checkup at the Maternity ward today..they're just gonna check him over, check his weight and stuff..and make sure I'm not going to die because of pulling internal stitches or some other silly thing.  That's at 10 am, so when I get a chance, I'll let everyone know how it goes. -s-

Verdict?

The Squeak... or..new nickname...Hedgehog... Has lost an ounce.  He weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs and 9 1/2 oz.  Which she said is normal because he could have lost more and is now starting to gain it back.  It sure seems like it because right now he's eating just about every 2 hours or so.  His heart sounded fine, his temperature was fine, and we were told we can stop putting non sticking bandages on his circumcision, which was looking beautiful as well.  As for me.  Incision looks terrific, and everything else is going just dandy.  So there is my nice healthy update.  We have our first real Drs. appt on Monday, and she'll be even more thorough, but for now...we are doing terrific!

Night Three
« Reply #19 on: February 28, 2008, 12:15:24 PM »
Since I had nothing to report with night two due to a loritab and a very very patient husband and flutterbye who watched the kid while I passed the hell out, here is how night 3 went.  Before our adorable flutterbye left, I slept most of yesterday away, and therefore, since Daddy had a 5 am to 1pm shift today, I stayed up all night.  He slept between feedings for the most part, hated to be changed and cried like a mother when I was trying to do said changings.  It wasn't as bad as the first night, because I was prepared to stay up all night.  He finally fell into a deeper sleep about 5 am, and allowed me to sleep until about 9 when he started to get hungry.  And then like clockwork, every two hours until about an hour ago when I decided I was going to just stay up until Daddy got home from running errands, when I can take a nap with him watching Hedge for a bit.

And to clarify, the reason for another new nickname for this kid.  He does NOT like keeping his feet or his legs in a straighter position, especially when wearing footie pajama like sleepers.  He curls his legs up to his chest and pretty much stays like that.  Like a little Hedgehog -beams-  He's so adorable.  I'm glad I get to keep him forever and ever.  At least for now, I know when he's a yucky teenage boy I'll want to give up, but for now, he's my Little Man.  I'm in love!

*sends loads of huggles for the proud mommy and daddy and the lil man*

you know I had a discussion with my b/f today about kids...... I told him that when a woman marries a man and tells him that she will never love another man as much as him that shes lying...... He thought that I was implying that women cant keep their pants on...... I had to explain that once a woman has a son she falls in love like no other....... and daddy is second place.......

I can honestly say that you can fall in love more than once..... I did it the day Frog Boy was born.....even though I didn't get to hold him for a month because He was a premie and in really bad shape....... and then I did it again when possum was born..... and Then I got lucky because the other half of my soul showed itself to me and then gave me an ultimatum.... that being I'm either moving there to you... or your moving to me.... pick one...... needless to say....I have the three loves of my life... and two more ( his sons)  that I really want to love more but just can't quite get there yet.  You count the blessings of your life as you would those first fingers and toes.... you count every single I love you and remember them because they are just far more precious than any gold or gem on the planet.
