Back to Work











Last week had a couple of milestones - the biggest being my return to work. It was hard leaving my little buddy, but I was happy that Josh and Heather were there to take care of him. I didn't cry all last week, and I enjoyed my time at work catching up and seeing the people whom I spend most of my time with. It was doubly hard not seeing Alex or Josh all week, though, except a few hours a day with Alex and a half hour or so of grumpy Josh feeding him at 5:30am when my alarm goes off and I have to get ready, so I cried yesterday. Monday was a lot harder after I saw them both all weekend! Luckily, Alex had no problem with it. He mostly sleeps all day with Daddy, who has started to put him in the big crib for some of his naps so he can get used to it. He also mostly sleeps for Auntie too, and he drinks about 3 six ounce bottles a day. Pumping at work is a dream, there's a locked private room on every floor with a couch, chair, sink, and parenting magazines. I just do it twice a day so it's not so bad. Josh and Alex visited my work on Thursday and he charmed the pants off the whole floor! For those that didn't get to see him, we'll bring him by again sometime soon, don't worry.
Alex also had his 2 month doctor appointment. He is 90th percentile for weight, 86th percentile for length, and 65th percentile for head size... a big boy! Nothing on Isaac at that age, of course, but it's good to know he's growing so well. His head is pretty steady now and he should probably be holding it up on his own soon. He didn't like the shots too much, but Papa gave him some Tylenol so he didn't get a fever or anything.
Also switched out all his clothes to the 3-6 month size, opening up a whole new large wardrobe which now includes rompers, onesies, and footie pajamas. Thanks to aunties Nikki and Heather and to everyone who bought him gift clothing!
