James is two months old, well technically he turned 2 months on the thirtieth of September but that's a minor detail really. Anyway he went for his doctors appointment today and weighed in at 13lb 12oz and is 24in long.That's 2 1/2 lbs and an inch of growth this past month. He got his first round of vaccines too. So awful to hear him cry but he calmed right down as soon as I picked him up.He is changing so fast, he can hold his head steady for brief periods, loves smiling at mom/dad and babbling at us especially in the mornings, he is strong and can even bear weight on his legs. He hates tummy time, but will tolerate it on our chest, he also hates wet diapers and being up too long without a nap. He loves breastfeeding and being naked. He tolerates bath time but seems weirded out by the whole concept.
I return to work in two weeks which makes me sad but I know he'll be in excellent hands. The money is necessary, you know if we want to stay in our house and eat, and it will allow us to provide a great life for James. Plus it will give me money for retirement and hopefully the time away will make me value our time together that much more. Basically I'm trying to focus on the positives only lol. I hear the anticipation is worse than actually going back. Once I start going we will settle into a routine and it will just be our life.
All in all I am so in love and enjoying watching James grow. The past two months have been the fastest of my life, stressful at times but his smile every morning is the best way to wake up.
