Well, as I usually post on Wednesday's... I've just realized that I'm a bit behind. But, I have a good reason. I've spent this week battling an UTI. Fun!! And, the antibiotics that I am on have made Benjamin's diapers smell pretty bad!
Ben is now 10 weeks old, and I have a week left of maternity leave! He is still growing... he weighed in at 12lbs. 13.5oz. at group on Wednesday. He's been doing great sleeping until last night! Eric said I jinxed myself! Wednesday night he slept from 8:30-5am!! My mom asked me yesterday if I still get the urge to check on him when he sleeps that long. I said "Heck no, I'm getting all the sleep I can, too!" Last night, he only made it until 1:30 :( But, he goes right back to sleep after his feedings, so that's great!!
Last weekend, we moved the cradle into the nursery so I could get some better sleep. Benjamin adapted so well. Then, the second night on his first feeding, I found him smushed in the corner of the cradle. Then, on his second feeding his arm was hanging out the slats and he was flailing it around. The basket was hanging to the side... I decided that was the last time he was sleeping in it. So, he's in the crib now and is doing well with it!! We also rearranged the nursery a bit:
Also last weekend, my brother, his wife & 4 kids visited us! We had a blast. They got here on Wednesday. Thursday was Eric's birthday - so he joined them in going to World's of Fun while I watched Ben & their youngest. Then, they hit Ocean's of Fun Friday. Then we all went to the zoo on Saturday! It was Ben's (and our) first visit to the zoo.
I am getting a little nervous and anxious about going back to work. I return on August 10th. My direct boss (the executive producer) is leaving the Friday before I get back, so I'm going to have some of his responsibilites. It's going to mean a lot more work for me, which I'm nervous about... but I know I can handle it. Plus, I plan to do a stellar job so they look at me more seriously as a candidate for his position!
Well, back to the grind! I'll be sure to update sooner next time!
