View LYNNABEL's food & exercise for this day
Down a pound. Yipee! It was closer to 147.5, but not close enough for me to put that. Non digital scales can be hard to read.
GUESS WHAT?!? Will slept from 9:20 PM to 5 AM!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up at 5 this morning when Steve went to get him because he was fussing - and that was the first time he woke up! This is SO huge. Of course, I can't expect this permanently going forward - but its a start!! People tell you the first 3 months can be really challening, but until you've been through it that type of comment isn't very helpful - because how can you prepare yourself for something you've never done before? Especially when each baby is very different.
He is such a little person now - he is giggling (just a few times - it made me cry the first time), he is holding his head so well, he is surporting his weight on his legs for seconds at a time, he is very close to rolling over, he is experimenting with all kinds of noises. Its so precious - he'll strain and open his mouth and get frustrated when nothing comes out. But when he can figure it out, he'll yell and yell and be so plesaed with himself - does this mean he's all boy?
I find myself amazed and dumbfounded every evening when I come home to him - its as if I know theoretically that I have a son, but when I see him, it seems to incredibly unreal. I never thought it would still feel so strange - when do you get used to having a child? When does it become so much a part of the fabric of life that you aren't surprised each time you can actually hold the thought "this is my baby" in your head? This isn't a bad feeling, but a strange one. I guess its only been 3 months - if I try to remember back it probably took a while to know deep down to my feet that Steve and I were married. Its that basic knowledge that is so much a part of you that it becomes the setting from which you view the world. My sense of Will as my baby isn't there yet - so it still boggles my mind anew each day.
Work is going really well. I'm so pleased with that. I'm really loving Shirley - my counterpart.
Steve isn't feeling the best - we've had some hurt feelings and frustrations and I don't know what to attribute it to or how to make it better.
