Time goes even faster when you have a little one... quick catch up- Michael now weighs 9 lbs, 15 oz and he is 23 in long. Dr. Desanto is very happy with his growth and says "he is perfect" (we already knew that :) ).
Michael received his first immunizations last week, Ralph and I had many discussions about that. Dr. Desanto answered all our questions. Little pea just cried for about 15 sec, then was fine.
He is becoming such a good sleeper. He falls asleep about midnight or so, and sleeps till 7:30ish almost every morning. A few days ago, he slept till 8:30, I got out of bed to make sure he was still breathing! He takes a long 4-5 hour nap during the day, and little cat naps in between.
I am still nursing and pumping and also supplementing with formula a little each day. It's working for all of us, but it is a lot of work to do all three! I feel like I live at the sink with all the bottle washing!
Ralph has been home from work for 2 weeks now. It has been so nice having the extra hands and they are just so cute together "man time" Ralph calls it. I love knowing I can leave for a few hours and Ralph has everything under control. Life is good.
I started going back to work about 2 weeks ago, 2-3 days/week. I thought I was going to hate it, but, to tell the truth, I am very much enjoying being back at work. I worked only 4-6 hours each day. My plan is to continue 2-3 days a week, about 6 hours. It is nice to get out of the house, I know Michael is in good hands, whether with Ralph or my mom and I feel like I am contributing again.
We had a great New Years! We were all up and watched the ball drop in NYC!
In a few days we are heading to Southern Cali to see friends and enjoy some warm weather! We can't wait! Michael's first vacation!
The New Year is starting off great! Happy 2010!
