Somehow I missed my 1-year blogoversary. Actually, I know how...I've been consumed with a baby!
Happy Belated Blogoversary to me:) It was last Friday, November 11.
Things in Fairytale Land have been happening so fast, but have been good. Will turned 12 weeks old on Sunday! He's over 12lbs now and I can definitely feel it in my arms. He's giving me some guns!
The smiles and baby talking are nonstop now - at least they are for Hubby and I, but Will gets a little shy around new people. He loves to lay on his changing table and smile and "talk" to me about his day. He isn't grabbing any toys yet but he loves to play with his hands and put them into his mouth.
Last night was a new record. He slept from 8:30pm until 7:30am. (We didn't do anything special, Will has done this on his own!) I kept checking on him because I was convinced something was wrong. Hubby and I are preparing for the sleep regression we keep hearing about between 3-4 months. Until it happens though, we're going to try and enjoy these blissful nights!
I officially stopped nursing and pumping on Sunday. We had a great last nursing session, he was very calm and happy. I'm still sad about it, but it was time. I really couldn't take the pumping anymore. Given my horrible nursing start, I'm happy to have gone as long as I did. Monday morning Will kept searching for my boob but after half his bottle he gave up on the boob and focused on the bottle. Today was better, no boob searching, just eating.
We're leaving Thursday for Will's first flight to visit Grandma and Grandpa in Ohio. Unfortunately, Hubby can't fly home with us, he's going to meet us on Friday which means I'm going to be navigating the airport with an (almost) 3-month old on his first flight. The stress of it has given me a headache the last couple of days. I know we'll be fine, but I don't want to be "that mom" with the screaming baby on the plane. Wish us luck!
I'm still in discussions with my company to try and work out a reduced work schedule. And we're in the process of interviewing nannies. And with the upcoming holidays, it's no wonder the time is flying by!
