Journal

So.... Max is already 10 months. What he can do so far... Sitting up, rolling over both ways, crawling, says Dada and Nana, has his lower 2 teeth- and is happy 24/7!!!!!

As for me...I'm in heaven. I love every second of being his mom. Even though I have to work, but the times I spend with him I cherish. None of this so far has seemed like work to me, not the getting up at night, changing his diapers or attend to any other of his needs! I'm so overwhelmed with how I feel about him and our family. DH is just as nuts over him. During some "crazy" attacks I've thought about wanting another one- but the thought of doing IVF again is not exactly thrilling at this time. Then I also wonder... why push our blessings? We had a beautiful baby from our first try. Everything else is in nature's hands now- perhaps there will be a miracle!  But if not.... I thank God everyday for the blessing with have in our lives.

So that's my "latest" update. Thinking of all the other ladies out there who are still trying and hoping they will be blessed as well!

Max is 7 weeks already today!!! I have to say Motherhood is better than what I imagined so far!  Busy but very fulfilling. Interesting how much less time we have these days to write journal entries. Lol    I’ve been so blessed, that DH has been home with me all this time and shared these early weeks with me!  Less sleepless nights and we get to enjoy Max well rested. He’s such a great baby. Very calm and relaxed. Except for those hungry and tired moments of course!  His sleeping is still so random, but lately he sleeps about 4 hours on his 1st stretch, then anywhere between 2-3 hours until we get up. So that’s not bad at all I think. The other night he slept 7 hours however and I about freaked out!!!!! I think he just went through a growth spurt, and then everything is off anyhow.

Unfortunately I have to go back to work on the 25th and it’s going to be very hard on me. But at least I don’t have to ship him off to Daycare. I’m talking DH into being Mr. Mom until the end of the year and then MIL wants to babysit anyhow.

I’ve truly enjoyed every second I have with Max.  Even his cries still sound like music to me. Lol   And now he’s getting to the stage where he smiles more and makes other cute sounds. It’s amazing how fast he’s grown. He’s about 11 ½ lbs by now. On 10/1 he will get his shots, already took the whole day off from work for that, hopefully he won’t have a hard time with it.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I hope all my DS friends and new moms are doing well!!
