Uh oh. Its 3:48am and Will couldn't be more awake if I'd fed him coffee. He just wolfed down 5 ounces of milk - he should be milk-drunk if nothing else. He is eating so much lately - all day long it seems. Oops - he just spit up about an ounce of that 5. Yum.

He has his 1 month appt tomorrow. Today, I mean.

We got back from Cragun's Resort around 2pm - we had such a great time. We got there around 2 on Friday. Our room had a fire place and adjoined to Mark and Jill's. Jill is in love with Will and we had a good time talking about baby stuff - she is trying very hard to get pregnant.

I think this is actually the time to travel with a baby - he can't move and isn't aware of things he shouldn't be aware of (wink wink) so we were able to have him sleep on the second huge bed in his bumpers and we were able to be...um...very romantic with a lovely fire burning. When he is older, no dice.

I wish I could write more about more private things, but I just don't think it would be appropriate. I need to get this journal into a word document so I can write about those things.

We've done baby massage twice now and he seems to really like it. I have to modify it a bit because our house is too cold for him to be totally naked.

Its 4:14am - still no sign of sleep.

I think I got Will to accept a pacifier! Yippee! And before anyone poo-poos me for using a pacifier, I prefer that to a) a bottle of milk that he doesn't want - formula is too expensive and my breastmilk too precious to be drooled down his shirt while he gumms the nipple for comfort and not food, and b) he is a bit too little to figure out his thumb for sucking, c) he loves to suck on our pinkies, but his suction HURTS and d) he can fall asleep with a pacifier in, which he shouldn't do with a bottle. Phew! Do I sound defensive enough?!

We finally took our Christmas card picture today - we got some lovely pics over the weekend, but the cards on snapfish.com all cut off S's head in them. I ordered the cards and they should be here this week. Then I can get them mailed with my letter.

I went to the gym today - it went well. I think I'm feeling my body change for the better. Per Courtney - it was leased by Will, redecorated, rearranged, and then sublet to some fat stores. So - I need to be patient.

I am looking forward so much to my trip to OKC for Christmas, and to Chicago in January. Yipee!
