Can't Make Time Stand Still...

Well, our little man is rolling! He started on Friday with my dad. Apparently my dad laid him down for tummy time, left the room for a minute to grab a bottle of water, came back & Grayson was on his back! So, he didn't really see it - but he claimed it so.

So, Saturday morning after Grayson's morning feeding, I had him do tummy time - and sure enough! He rolled belly to back! And he did it like 10 times before he had enough. It was amazing. I was proud and sad at the same time. But, I am so glad we got to see it for the first time, and it wasn't with my In-laws, my parents, or daycare. Grayson also grabs things now & started sucking his thumb - which, while it is cute, I am very worried about. We shall see how it goes as time goes on.

On a weight loss note - I have dropped another pound! Woot!! So.Very.Exciting. Slow, but steady!!

Feeling Great!

The best thing happened today. I was able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans! They looked good, they felt good & I felt so great in them! Yey!

I weigh myself in the morning, we shall see if I have lost anymore weight!

Now, I'm going to bed - I'm so exhausted.... I got about 4 hours of sleep last night, and not even consecutively.

Added a picture of me in my jeans!! (and super baby :)

Weight Loss & Pink Eye

Well, the weight is coming off! Last week I lost 2 lbs! I really do not know how that happened. I ate okay with breakfast & lunch but I snacked badly and dinner - well healthy went out the window more than one night. But I still did it! I am walking at my lunch hour now. At least 3 days a week. And I am still trying to DDR after the baby is in bed. I have been slacking lately, but these 2 new missing pounds has definitely given me some more motivation! How many more would it have been if I had done what I was suppose too!

And, I have been back at work for 2 weeks and 2 days now. Last Friday I had to leave early when the pediatrician sent my husband and Grayson to a dermatologist right then and there for his infected cradle cap. I made it back to the office, but I was still gone for almost 3 hours. Then, today I had to leave 1.5 hours early when the daycare called and said Grayson had to leave, they thought he had pinkeye! What the hell! So, we went right back to the pediatrician, and sure enough, it's pinkeye. So, now I have to take off work tomorrow. Ugh. Hoping my boss doesn't hold it against me, I mean I just started working again and now all this!!

Otherwise, Grayson has been happy today, I picked him up from daycare & he was all smiles. And he was laughing and playing at the doctor's office. He did NOT like when I was trying to get this medicine in his eyes. Doing this for the next 7 days isn't going to be very fun.

On a whole other note --- Let's Go Flyers! They are kicking the Canadians butts! Getting so close to the Stanley Cup!

Oh Sleep...

Grayson has taken to his crib & falling asleep on his own really well. I am really proud of him. The only down side to the crib - or it could be starting a new schedule - or it could be that he is going to bed at least 1/2 an hour earlier than before - but he now gets up between 5am and 5:30am. At least this week he has!

Now, he is sleeping through the night from 7:30pm to this new time - and many people are thinking, "then so what?"... but I still am going to bed/sleep between 10pm-10:30pm. By the time I get home, spend some time with my son, get him bathed/fed/in bed I still haven't done anything to prep for the next day, had dinner or worked out. And all these things need to be done! Then showered & maybe a few minutes to wind down. And somehow in there I would like to spend at least a couple of minutes with my husband.

So, going to bed sooner just don't really work out, at least not every night. I'm hoping that I will get use to it, or even better, Grayson starts sleeping until 6:30-7am like he use to.

Today at Grayson's school they celebrated Mother's Day. Now, I couldn't go because this was only day 4 of me being back at work, and I'm thinking asking to leave 1/2 a day already wouldn't look too great. But, they still sent him home with a flower for me! (See photo above). It was very nice to see him come in the door with this flower & a smile. My heart melted a little bit.

Okay, I am going to shower and go to bed! The husband is sick & I'm trying hard not to catch it... sleeping is one way to do this so my body can do it's job and keep me healthy.

Day 2 of my 1st Work week

So, today was day 2 of my first work week after having a baby. It is all actually going better then I though that it would! Grayson was my mother-in-laws on Monday.

Things seemed to go fine! And today, started his 3 days a week at daycare. They sent us some pictures of Grayson! This picture in the post is one of them. I thought it was so nice of them to show us his first full day at school & how well he was doing!

As for work, I have gotten back into the swing of things. It is nice to have the adult interaction, even though I miss my kid like crazy. It is so nice to see him after being away from him all day, and he smiles and seems so happy to see me! Even though, I don't think he can actually miss me yet - I know he can be happy to see me!

Today we starting him sleeping in his crib at night. I think he is just getting too big for the basinet. And he woke up 3 times last night. Which, is just off for him since once is all he ever does anymore, if anything. I felt so bad because I was so frustrated that he was up, and I don't want him to think that it's his fault that he is up... I really think he was just that uncomfortable. But we will see!

We are also trying sleep training. So far I only had to go in one time to get him his pacifier & then I walked back out. He fell asleep about 7:30pm that time, and it is now 10:30pm and there really hasn't been anything from him! Though, at this point that isn't unusual. We will see what happens around 1am (which is the first time he woke up last night).

Okay. Sleepy time!

Let the Madness Begin

Well, the time has come. I start back to work in the morning. I am going a little nuts thinking about it and worrying about it. Grayson went to bed a little earlier than normal tonight because he was so cranky, and I cried while I rocked him to sleep. And then I DDRed for like 2 hours. I need to head to bed to make sure I get enough sleep, especially if he gets up in the middle of the night, but I just don't want to.

We had a great weekend! Hung out with one of my best friends, we took Grayson outside to just sit and hang out for his first time! And today was a nice quiet day at home with the husband and baby. I ate some unhealthy foods and worked out like crazy. As you can see in the ticker, I didn't lose any more this past week - but I also didn't gain! So that's a plus. Back on the wagon in the AM - well, I ate pretty well today too. So, I guess I'm already back on the wagon. Once I get my first full pay I plan to sign up for WW online again. I miss it, but of course wasn't going to do it while I was pregnant, so I let it go.

The weather was great all weekend too! But I hear tomorrow is going to be a sad rainy day, I guess the perfect day to head back to the office.

I am very jealous of all you stay-at-home moms right now!
