In the meantime...
Chris broke my hand (not intentionally), but I waited too long to go to the doctor for them to do anything easy about it. I couldn't decide if it was just very badly bruised or worse, but they say it is most definitely broken. It's already started healing, and they'd have to rebreak it to set it straight. Do I even bother?
Benjamin has started speech therapy because of feeding difficulties. The poor baby doesn't know how to suck, so we have to teach him. He is a smart baby and already is starting to figure things out, even though he HATES our homework.
I lost all of the baby weight plus 2 pounds...and then Benjamin started sleeping through the night (7 hours straight, 3 days in a row!!) so I've been eating more and have gained back 5 pounds of it. It probably doesn't help that my house is filled with cake either.
Benjamin turned 2 months old this last Saturday. Nothing really major happened, but he is totally my big boy! 11 pounds, 12 ounces and 24 inches long
We baptized Benjamin on Sunday. He was fussy throughout the service and cried very loudly during the ceremony. But I don't care. Babies aren't supposed to be sleeping and quiet all the time. Besides, he had to scream that devil out! (Stay tuned for pictures of the FINISHED baptismal gown!)
I started back at work today. (Oh, I got a promotion to a permanent position at our Mayfair branch...so first day back from maternity leave and first day at a new store with a new team...talk about nervous!) It was the longest day of my life! Benjamin left to spend the day with my mother at 6:30am and I didn't get home until 7:30pm. I spent the first hour bawling, not that I was worried he wasn't going to be taken care of or getting the attention he deserved, but that I wasn't going to be there with him. (I'm cuddling with him as we speak and I'll stay up all night if I have to! Chris wants me to put him in his crib, but I'm not ready to take him out of our room. In fact, I'm considering bringing him back into our bed...) I called at noon to see how he was doing, and he could care less that I wasn't there, probably happier because Grandma is much better at cuddling than I am. That made me feel a little better.
A picture update on Thursday because I have off. I'm so glad I don't have to wait until Saturday!
