Journal Entry for March 24, 2008 Mood
Monday, March 24, 2008 | A Rambling story
Well I've made it through the first week of him being home, barely, but I have. I'm only frustrated at night because my husband works third shift so if the baby doesnt sleep then I'm up all night. My husband has only been back to work one night and that night I got lucky, he slept right after his feeding but then when my husband got home around 7:30a.m. Keith decided he didnt want to sleep anymore so all day I was up with him. Fortunatley that night my husband had off so I was able to recover somewhat for tonight. I hope I get lucky again and he sleeps after every feeding. I found Mylicon to be my best friend because my son has terrible gas which keeps him up. I dont really give it to him during the day just at night so its easier for him to fall asleep but let me tell you its a fricken godsend. Its just now starting to feel real to me. The first week I didnt really feel connected to him but now I slowly am. It helps that I have such a wonderful family and a great husband. It seems like its going by fast. I never thought I would say this but I actually miss being pregnant. LOL Oh, and I finally found a bottle that works the best. Its Gerber and its only like $3 for 3 of them. I love those bottles they make him less gassy and he finishes them quicker. Anyways, its time for me to start looking for a job Undecided. I really would prefer to stay at home with my son but unfortunately its expensive to live so I have to get out there and make some money. I'll probably like getting out of the house and I only plan on working maybe 2-3days a week for like 6hrs to start out. Even a little paycheck will help out alot. Aside from being sleep deprived everything else is going great. Hope everyone else is doing well. Smile
