Weigh in

Well - I think this will just be a quick post, it is harder then I thought it would be to get on here to make posts!? Other things are just more important and take priority over blogging! ;)

So we gave Jacob his first bath at home, it went fairly well - better then the one at the hospital, he seemed to like our bath better ? I am having a good time bonding with Jacob and Dad is helping out lots too. We've gone on quite a few ventures already, I went to the registry place to apply for his birth certificate, I applied for my EI, took Jacob for a few visits and shopping trips. I am trying to fill out his baby book as things happen but I can see how the book might get forgotten about. Maybe next week I will attempt to work on the scrapbook!?

I weighed my self this morning - I'm down 23lbs!! Not bad - more then half of what I gained lost in 10 days! Jacob also got weighed today too and is now above his birth weight, weighing in at 7lbs 6oz. I feel like my head is full of numbers, everything is numbers now - when did he eat last, how many ounces (he's up to about 3oz per feeding now), when did he fall asleep, how long do I have till he wakes up. I'm constantly checking the time, so much that hubby put a clock up in the living room. The cloth diapers are a little more challenging then I thought, it's not the fact that I have to do some form of laundry everyday (whether it be diapers or our clothes) - I think the most frustrating part is that they aren't that absorbent and it seems like he is a peeing machine!! I thought I peed lots, this kid can soak through a diaper and not even 10 minutes later soak through another. And because he is too small for the rubber pants not only do I have to change a diaper every hour I need to change his outfit! I have now started to use disposables at bedtime just so I don't have to change his outfit in the middle of the night and I must admit I am a little envious of how easy the disposables are but I will stick to the cloth ones during the day. Even though I complain about how he is a peeing machine it makes me feel good that he has a healthy bladder and I can count wet diapers easier in cloth then in disposables.

That's really about all so far, I feel pretty good, not too tired and I usually try to have one nap a day - I start feeling tired around 3:30pm. I have had a couple emotional moments but I'm sure it's just hormones, they usually don't last long. I'm hoping to bring Jacob to the track tomorrow night to show him off (just a quick visit) but we will see how the day goes.
