Two months later and I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of this Mommy business. I've been Savannah's step-mom for 5 years now but it is just so different taking care of an infant! Of course, next week I go back to work and I'll have to learn an all new routine!
Zaine has been giving me consistent 5 hour stretches when I first lay him down at night. !! Sometimes, I get the benefit of those full 5 hour stretches and go to sleep when he does and other times, I stay up. Every night it's an internal battle. Go to bed and get 5 hours in a row of uninterrupted sleep OR have me time/time with my husband. Occasionally me/husband time has to win, you know? Right now we're going back to sleep in the mornings until 9am or so (today we got up for the day when Zaine woke me up cooing--cutest thing ever!) but it'll be more likely 5-6am when I have to get ready for work. You might want to buy stock in diet pepsi. I'm about to contribute greatly to their financial success!
Tomorrow Zaine goes to his pediatrician for his 2 month well-baby check and his 2 month shots. Can I talk about how much I'm dreading those shots? I keep flashing back to his circumcision and it makes me sad all over again. (Please don't take this as an invitation to tell me your thoughts on circumcision. I've already made my decision--obviously). Anyway, he really handled the procedure pretty well but he did cry a little and so did Momma. If he cries tomorrow from his shots, well, I might as well bring along the tissues for the both of us.
Well, little man just woke up so I better unswaddle him and give him some cuddles!
