See the faces these kids are making???
Nathan has never seen anyone make this face! BUT somehow he magically knows that sticking out the bottom lip will make him look way more pitiful, thus getting more sympathy and cuddles from mama. We have yet to capture it in a digital image, but I’m sure we will soon, as it’s becoming a daily occurrence around here!
Nate’s first day of daycare was today. He was asleep when I went to pick him up. The teacher said he’d cried most of the day. *insert quivering bottom lip here* The guilt is just overwhelming for me. *serious frowny face goes here* He cried the entire ride home. *add an inadequate parent smiley character here* To make up for it I let him nap in my lap when we got home. (can we say pushover???) He’s just so little!!! On a good note: he got entirely breastmilk today! I pumped enough for him to actually have one extra bag left over! Neat!
So It was my 1st day back to school today. Lecture is mega boring!!!! but you guessed that. I got set up to pump on my breaks from class. I’m pumping in a small closet, lined with filing cabinets, in the back of the nursing office. It’s near the copy room, so every time I hear the Xerox machine, I cringe that someone is going to bust through the door and see me crouched in a rolling chair with a machine attached to my boob while reading Cook’s Illustrated. How embarrassing!!!! (for both parties!)
And just cuz I like a good blog post to contain pictures, here’s the pump I’ve been using
It’s the Medela Swing Single Electric Pump. I give it 5/5 stars!
Nathan FINALLY likes the swing!!!
He likes it so much he actually fell asleep in it. And trust me he WANTS his head like that. I tried to straighten it out, but he fussed and just slammed it right back down on the toy tray part. Looks comfortable huh?
And here’s a poop story for your reading pleasure:
So Nate’s last poop was Friday morning. He didn’t poop all day on Saturday, so this Sunday morning I was getting concerned. Well there seemed to be an odor iminating from his pants when i was feeding him, so I checked it out. Well if you can imagine what a baby poop looks like that’s been marinating for 2 days, just take that image and mutiply it by about 10!!!! GROSS!!!! Mama cleaned it up real good though and luckily it was on a disposable diaper instead of our nice fluffy cloth diapers. Wasn’t that sweet? Don’t you feel like you were THERE!
It’s finally settled down enough around here for me to start blogging about the new addition.
First things first – a pic of the little monster:
^Nate in the coolest shirt ever! haha…it’s a gift from Uncle Chris and Aunt Marisel.
Nights are going great. Nathan gets a bath, food, and song right before bed, which is usually around 7:30 – 8. The past few nights he’s been sleeping til about 1. He goes right back to sleep after a feeding, then wakes again around 3-4. Eats and wakes up for the morning around 7. What a good baby…he does still have his moments though.
