Alex is almost 5 weeks old already!

Wow.  People weren't kidding.  Enjoy every minute, because the time flies by!  No kidding.  I'm really, truly making sure I enjoy every moment with my baby.  He is so amazing.  Every day I swear he looks different and he does something different.  He's so beautiful and I am still so amazed that I MADE that!  So he is 5 weeks old now and I will be returning to work soon.  

I dread the day I drop him off at daycare.  D-R-E-A-D it.  I bawled my eyes out when I had to leave my cat at the vet overnight.  Can you imagine?  I'm going to be a total wreck.  But, it's part of life I guess and I know he will be in good hands.

It was green, runny and smelly and I swear it laughed a me as I was gagging..

The things that come out of my child.  Shewwee.  Geez!  Only a mother could deal with THAT!  I don't think I need to explain where I encountered the title of this blog.  

Alex is better...it has nothing to do with his cold.

Alex has a little cold

Even though I have stayed indoors for weeks, somehow I got a cold.  And now my little son seems to have it too.  

Guess you can't protect them no matter what you do.  

Mini Identity Crisis

Alex is 20 days old today and he and I both are getting into a groove with each other.  I love being a Mom, but I'm sort of having a mini identity crisis.  How do I be who I was and be who I am now at the same time?  Sound confusing?  It is.  No matter how many people said "a baby changes everything", I really didn't GET IT until now.  A baby truly does change everything.  For the better, but it's an interesting life-altering change.  I can't just come and go as I please the way I used to.  It's  not necessarily about what I want now.  Alex comes first.  When his needs are met, I can think about taking care of something I want or need.  

It's interesting.

Two weeks old today!

Alex and I have successfully made it two weeks!  It's been an interesting journey learning about Alex.  He has very distinct cries.  I have figured out a couple of them so far, but there are a few that remain a mystery.  He has pretty much kept the crying to his basic needs, but each evening he seems to like crying for no reason.  Can't quite figure that one out!  

He is a beautiful, healthy baby boy and he is developing nicely.  And like his Mommy...the boy likes to eat!  ;)
