Week 8ish - a little behind

Sooo, I may not always get this written exactly when I plan to.  The whole Sunday/Monday thing may not always work.  I'll try to post at least once a week, though, to keep everyone updated.

The past week has been decent - we're still on a pretty good routine of bedtime and sleeping.  Jayden's room is arranged (pictures to come when it's completed - one more thing to take care of), and he's been sleeping great in his crib, for the most part.  Jayden goes to bed between 8 pm and 9 pm.  Carmen feeds him around midnight.  I feed him between 3 and 4 am, and then he gets up sometime between 6 and 7 am.  Not great, but not terrible.  And since I'm breastfeeding, it's likely that he will continue to feed once or twice during the night for a little longer than if he were formula-fed.  So I don't mind a little less sleep, I guess.

Last Friday Jayden came down with a cold, which was miserable for both of us - I swore he couldn't breathe.  But, I fed him more frequently, sucked the congestion out of him and on Saturday (Sunday? I think it was actually Sunday) we got him a humidifier for his room.  He's better now, but still not fully clear.  We go to the doctor on Monday, so I figure I'll have our pediatrician check him out then. 

After the Michael Jordan outfit, we got a lot of comments about not putting him in a Duke outfit, so here's the beginning.  We're working on building our supply!

This week has been busy: Tuesday we went to a friend's house to hang out and yesterday Jayden and I went to see a movie!  A local movie theater has Parent Movie Mornings, where the movies are "baby friendly" - supposedly quieter, they have a changing station and it's supposedly filled with other mommies, so nobody cares if there's crying, fussiness, etc.  Well, turns out no other moms showed up (including the mom I was going there to meet), so I sat by myself, in a theater with probably six other people who were not moms and nursed Jayden.  Oh well.  I may or may not go back, depending on what movie is playing.  After being fed, Jayden slept through the whole thing, which was good, because I thought the movie was a little loud for him.
