Week 2

We're just moving right along with this whole Mommy bit! Coming home from the hospital 2 weeks ago we had 3 people to help tackle the job; Tim, myself, and MomMom (my mom.) Things were going great between the 3 of us. We all took turns changing diapers, playing, singing, and just enjoying little man. 1 week later we were down a man, Tim had to return to work. Slight anxiety attack, but I still had MomMom in town to help. The two of us were surviving just fine, whew! Saturday rolls around and we're down another man, MomMom was flying home, YIKES! I had a slight breakdown on the car ride home that day. Maybe it was because it was my birthday, maybe it was because I was about to do this Mommy deal on my own, or maybe it was just from hormones! Who knows, but I drove home in tears totally freaking out about doing it alone. Guess what, we survived! In fact Nolen and I have had 2 great days together! He eats, he sleeps, he poops, repeat. I think I can handle this!

Going out now (anywhere) has become a huge task. You have to time it all around these oh-so-often feedings that occur every 2-3 hours. Our first big outing alone, and where did we go, to Publix! I fed the man, changed the man, soothed the man, fed the man again, changed the man again, and finally changed the mans clothes before heading out the door. We arrived at the grocery store, so far so good, I put his car seat in the grocery cart and we were on our way through the isles. Problem was, once you put a car seat into the grocery cart there's no room for groceries. I could only buy the bare necessities, 3 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk. Cart full! At this rate we'll be going to the grocery store everyday.

Here are a few shots from our first attempt at tummy time, it looked a little more like nap time ;(
