Spending time with Jay
He is such a cutie (even if I say so myself). We have definitely been blessed. Though this has not been easy for the both of us.
I dont know what I thought life after Jay would be like. I didnt think that every minute of my time would be occupied with him, or how much I would look forward to 12:00 pm when he would take his afternoon nap. I love Jay but most of the time I dont know what to do to keep him occupied. We have loads and loads of toys but he loves his toys with us attached to it. And I'm sure my arms are longer now, they feel like it, I have muscles too with all the lifting I do. I also think I walk slanted now since he likes sitting on my hip. Hah, the whines of a mom eh?
Ok, I have to say this loud, I think me going back to work will be like a vacation (I know this sounds ridiculous). Now dont get me wrong, I'm happy, but I'm still not used to being a mom. I forgot to take a shower yesterday and when Lenin reminded me last nite it scared me, since I'd never forgotten to take a shower before. Sheesh, I dont want to let myself go, I can be hip and be a mom. Reminder- go to the hair dresser.
Here is the latest update on Jay.
He like his car seat now. He loves his stroller especially if you have a stash of cheerios somewhere where he can get it. He is getting used to the high chair and his crib. We have moved Jay out of our beds and into the crib. He tosses and turns (rolls on his head and butt even) in the night and when sleeping with us, he'd keep us both awake. So we moved him to the crib near our bed, we put him in the crib when he's still awake so that he knows that the crib is where he needs to sleep in.
We also have Jay on a schedule. He wakes up around 7:00 am, has a bottle, then breakfast around 8:00 am. Snacks in between. Lunch around 11:00 am. Nap time at 12:00 pm. He sleeps for 2 hrs. Then he wakes up, has a bottle, then about 3:00 pm, he has his evening snack (cottage cheese and fruit or veggies) and dinner around 6:00 pm. He then has a bath (which helps him sleep) and then another bottle and goes to bed around 7:30 pm.
So far the schedule has been working with him, he knows when he needs to take a nap and when he gets his food etc.
Its my nap time now, so off I go. Will post updates later.
