Another First

Ethan has his first cold. Only 4 days of daycare and he gets a cold! Arg. He was miserable last night but it could have been much worse. I sat in the recliner with him all night long. Jeremy stayed up with him until 1:00am and I did the rest of the night.

Norm and Cheryl get her tonight! Yay, as for now, I have to take a shower. I am a disgrace right now.

Second Day of Daycare Pic

He loves their swings! So sweet and I am so glad he is doing well there. I would die if he hated it.

Daddy and Ethan Time

Crap.

I didn't take pictures at daycare today. I suck balls.

Daycare Day 1

Sigh.....it is Ethans first at daycare and he is doing great. I called once already :). They told me I could call anytime and I think they might regret that! It is amazing how much I can get done while Ethan is in daycare! I have already done his laundry, almost done the grown-ups laundry, gave myself a pedicure, portioned out snacks, went grocery shopping (and actually put the groceries away!), paid all of our hospital bills (thanks for nothing, Memphis Shitty Schools), starting my lesson planning for this week, washed all the dishes, and spend a few minutes with a friend! WOW!

I teared up a little bit when we left him but the ladies in the infant room made me feel very comfortable. He has his own crib and cubby, which I will take pictures of. Jeremy has today off which is mighty nice since I almost lost it when we walked out without Ethan. I think he will be ok in daycare. There are a lot of babies for him to look at and the ladies are really nice. Jeremy said that Ethan is making his first friends.

Ethan is so tiny! There was another baby that was born at about the same time as Ethan and that baby is huge! I didn't realize how little he was until recently. He still has a little catching up to do but developmentally he is right on track. :)

Got to get him and take pictures now! Miss my little man.

Thanks!

Thank you mom for the package with books and stuff for Ethan and thanks dad for the package with the Patriots baby hooded towel! So cute!

Content

Wow, Ethan is in bed and I just took a shower and I feel so good right now. My house is clean (thanks to some serious teamwork with Jeremy) and I have my to-do list ready and waiting for me to tackle it tomorrow. I love crossing things off my to-do lists. Frequently I will write something that I have already done, just to cross it off to boost my mood.

Movies and pictures coming tomorrow.

Less than a week before I go back to work. Don't ask me how I feel about it because I don't quite know yet. I go back and forth between dread, excitement, extreme sadness, and determiniation. I will have to let you know how I feel when I figure it out. Right now, I just want to enjoy my men and get as much quality time as possible.

Doctor Visit

Today we took Ethan to see his doctor (which we really like) because he has been miserable for days now. I suspected that it might be his reflux that is causing his crying and I was right. The doctor told us to give him Maalox before we feed him and when we give him a bottle to add a little rice cereal to help keep it down. He is spitting up quite a bit lately and it cause him pain when he does. Poor little man! I am so glad we took him to the doctor today and got some answers. His crying has been frustrating and exhausting for everyone.

I vow to call people back when I say I will. Here is list of the people that said my call was important and they would get back to be as soon as they could:

-Humas Resources Bitch for maternity leave, multiple times.
-OB/GYN to set up an appt to get birth control. He said his nurses would call the next day. (Am I suprised that I haven't received a call a week later? Not really.) Bitches.
-La Leche League representatives. Left 3 messages for 2 people and never got a response. Bitches.
-On call nurse at the Memphis Children's Clinic when I called on Thursday about Ethan's crying. She's a bitch too.

I will be sure to do my BEST to return parent phone calls quickly when I am back at work because I know how frustrating it is when people don't do what they say they will.

However, the bill collectors are sure to call because they want something from us. No one want to help us, they only want to talk to us when they need something.

It's a dog eat dog world out there.

Ahh!

This baby never wants to be put down!

There!

That outta satisfy your Ethan craving for at least a day. :)
