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.
