Week 3

Some time last week it dawned on me that pacifiers come in different sizes and none of the ones I was gifted were small enough, or acceptable to the child. Last night we finally bought some newborn ones and its magical! They stay in his mouth and they don't gag him, such wonderful simple needs. I also discovered in the first two weeks that we go through wipes like crazy, thank goodness for Sam's Club. I always knew diapers would go fast but didn't even think wipes would go faster. We went shopping at Sam's yesterday and got to try out the Ergo baby and it went very well except it seemed to be very warm. We even ran into a friend while getting gas and she got to meet Magpie while he screamed his pretty little head off. :x
He sleeps pretty well now but he seems to sleep very long and it worries me. I have had to wake him up multiple times because he was coming up on 5 hours and he needed to be eating. He doesn't seem to be dehydrated and during our last check his weight gain was satisfactory. I hope I am worrying for nothing, he is my child after all, sleep reigns.
We went and visited the day care of my choice, which I had learned was also the day care of B's families choice. I was very pleased and put my name on the waiting list right away. Seeing the building and the children interacting with the teachers and the parents coming through all smiles put me at ease. This is the woman who wanted nothing more than to be a stay at home mom til Magpie is at least 18. I am pleased, it was clean, warm, familiar, and close.
Things are moving along nicely, but with the wedding in September coming things are already moving way too fast! I want him to hurry up and fatten up and get his head up and all of the wonderful things but I want him to stay pocket sized and squishy forever. Its tough.
As far as mom goes, I am feeling almost normal again, the itching comes and goes and the numbness won't leave for a while but I can move again and I am not afraid of splitting apart, so yay. Daddy also seems to be doing ok, working and having night feedings is definitely no fun, but we got a cutie pie out of the deal so I think he is ok with it. We also had his first Father's Day and I gave him some cute gifts a little early. Some cute onesies that loved on Daddy that even Mister anti baby clothes couldn't wait to put him in.
