Party in my crib 2am!

Someone bought Alex a cute little onesie that said "Party in my Crib 2am". I should have had him wear it last night. It was a great party! Yeah...right...

My feet grew...

What is UP with that???  None of my shoes fit after being pregnant!  I'm not totally healed yet from childbirth and my body is slowly returning to it's old frumpy jiggly self, but of all the things, I never thought my FEET would get bigger!  I've asked around and all the mom's agree that this happens to your feet.  Even better?  My right foot is bigger than my left foot.  Unbelievable.  

So what did I get from pregnancy?  Long-lasting stretch marks and fat feet.  But a beautiful, amazing, sweet little boy that I love more than I can possibly explain.  Who cares about my stupid feet anyway? 

Alex is 2 months old now and I've gone back to work.

This past Monday, October 19th, I came back to work.  I am happy to be back, but I miss hanging out with Alex all day everyday.  I gotta' tell you though, by about the 4th week I was starting to go a little bit bonkers.  I am a very active person and my mind runs about 100 miles an hour constantly.  So although my body was content with all the rest, my mind was going nuts.  So it's good to be at work where I can release all that intellectual energy and when I pick up my son each afternoon, it's all about him from that moment on.

Also, I love his daycare.  They are so sweet and I know they are caring for him even better than I could during the daytimes.  They made me fell totally at ease Monday morning when I dropped him off.  I had cried the night before the first day and barely slept from the anxiety of yet another life change, but once I cried when I dropped him off, I haven't cried since.  Everything sorta feels right now.  

Alex is 6 weeks old now!

Wow...6 weeks have gone by.  On October 16th, Alex will have his 2 month immunization shots and then I will return to work on October 19th.  I was going to try to come back to work on October 12th, but decided to wait one more week for Alex to get his shots and for him to pass that 2 month mark before I take him to daycare.  I know when I drop him off, I will be a basket case, but I'm ready for life to be the way it's going to be.  I'm ready to figure out how to balance work and life with a new baby.  

I had my 6 week post-natal check up with Dr. Martin too.  Everything looks great and she said the swelling in my stomach should subside completely around  three months.  Do you know after 6 weeks that my stomach muscles are STILL sore?  That was quite a workout I guess!  

Being pregnant and delivering Alex is all sort of a distant memory now.  My life now revolves around this adorable little boy who now is smiling at me!  What a beautiful smile it is!
