Fuzz Head Baby

Filed Under Diapers/Potty, One Month | 2 Comments

I finally have a minute just to chat. I slept really well last night, but of course I am getting the “late afternoon” tired thing right now. Probably doesn’t help that Bailey is sleeping against my chest in her sling… my eyes are kind of droopy but I am going to dinner in like a half an hour with my mom and grandma, so no time for a nap. We are eating barbecue- note to self- do not eat the spicy sauce.

Last night Bailey was a little fussy after dinner. I think she was just tired, I was tired of holding her (gasp) and wanted her to sleep in her swing. She disagreed. She also wanted a binky, which is rare, but then it kept falling out of her mouth and she’d get mad. jonathon worked a little bit late, so when he got home at 9:15 I was like, “Congratulations, she’s yours the rest of the evening!” I feel guilty doing that after he’s been at work all day, but honestly sometimes I just need a break from having a baby attached to me in a sling or on a boob or in my lap. And I tend to either nap or get stuff done while she’s sleeping during the day, so then I haven’t had much “me” time by the end of the day. But we put her down about midnight when we were ready to go to bed and she slept until almost 6 a.m., then I fed her and got her back down around 7:15 and we slept again until 10:45.

I think she would have slept a little longer this morning except we had our breastfeeding support group/mommy’s social group. It’s at a maternity support store in the area and there are some really nice ladies that go to the group. This was my second time going and there were about 20 women there this time. Lots of little babies, some even younger than Bailey. The oldest one is about 9 months, I think. Anyway they also have a book club that meets on Tuesday mornings once a month, so I think I might try going to that next month. I am trying to build as much of a stay-at-home/social life as I can for myself.

Let’s see, what has Bailey been doing lately… still not socially smiling but she will smile randomly when she’s happy. She has now smiled several times at the ceiling fan and the windows. Apparently those just really make her happy. What can I say. She has learned to cough in the last week and she will cough once in a while, I think just for fun. She looks right at me when she does it. She never sounds like she’s choking or spitting up or anything when it happens. Today for the first time she is in her sling with her feet out. She was trying to push up in it and couldn’t settle down, so she’s in it like a big girl right now with it just under her bottom and around her back. I think she is starting to get more hair. Her head feels fuzzier and I love to kiss it and rub my face against it. She has almost outgrown newborn size diapers. She is wearing Hugg1es right now and they seem to run the biggest. Next package we will probably do size ones. Any ideas on which brand runs the smallest in that size? P@mpers seemed to be the smallest newborn ones.

Well, that’s my life lately. Breastfeeding and fuzzy head and diapers and waiting for my baby to smile at me. And I am loving it.
