Working mom

It's been a little while since I last updated because I went back to work last Monday and things have been busy, busy, busy! At least I was off this past weekend but we basically spent the time resting and gearing up for another week :]. I guess that's just how it will be from now on. 

The transition itself actually went pretty well. Jeff has been doing a great job taking care of Simon. It's pretty exhausting work and he is all by himself with baby for about 12 hours every day! I try to help him out by taking care of the birds' food and making Simon's bottles but it's still a lot of work :). 

Simon's been growing and developing new skills. He learned how to stick his hand in his mouth and suck on it. I was hoping that would lead to him self soothing but he seems to do it only when he's hungry, haha. And he's not terribly coordinated yet so he still waves his arms around a lot. He continues to coo a lot (makes all sorts of sounds, it's super cute). 

He is also eating a lot - Jeff reports 4 oz at a time sometimes. But he also barfs a lot! We think he barfed both weekend mornings because I would nurse him when he woke up and my boobs would be too full. He also tends to swallow a lot of air when he gets frantic (either super hungry or fussy/tired). So anyway...lesson learned. And a lot of laundry done this weekend...

Simon has his 2 month checkup at the end of this week. Not looking forward to him getting his 1st round of shots and being on call on Sunday. We will get through it somehow!
