Monday, Monday

It's Monday again. I find it hard to believe how quickly the weeks are flying by. Sawyer is wearing size one diapers now. I commented to Lorne this weekend that they're still kind of big and he needs to hurry up and grow up into them. Lorne replied, "Let him be little, Momma." I am constantly reminded of how precious he is and how he won't be this size for long. I don't know how many of you read the comments, but apparently Mom actually sewed that saying "Cleaning and scrubbing..." and had it in my nursery when I was little. How funny is that? I'm hoping to get it from her, frame it, and put it in his nursery too as a sort of legacy.

I'm typing with Sawyer in his Snugli carrier. The thing really is magic. It knocks him right out! The only problem is now I have almost ten pounds of dead weight to haul around! :)

I talked with Candy my LC today. She said that I could cut back the supplement to half an ounce since he gained eleven ounces in seven days which is above the half ounce to one ounce per day. She also said to increase his nighttime bottle from three ounces to four which I don't understand. We're going back for another pre and post on Thursday. I think that I'm going to stick to what we're doing until Thursday, though, because I don't want him to lose weight. I'm sure she told me that I could cut back because he's getting all but about half an ounce from me. I'm going to be hardheaded and keep doing what we're doing I think.

She told me that it would be okay to return to Curves and Weight Watchers. I can't wait to start doing those things again. I know that Sawyer has caused us to redefine what we consider "normal" around here, but I think that if I can return to those two things it will be good for me. I can bring him to the "Mommy and Me" meeting at WW, but I'll have to leave him with Lorne when I go to Curves, but it will work out fine.

I'm thinking about going to a La Leche League meeting in Plano tomorrow. I don't think that I'll join tomorrow but I thought that I would go and check it out. I'm really wishing that I'd gone to one while I was pregnant. I guess that I just thought that this breastfeeding would be a lot easier than it is. I'm kind of nervous that it's going to be a bunch of women sitting around with their boobs hanging out. If that's the case I'll run to the closest door, but I don't think that will be the case! :) I'll let you know...

I'm posting some pictures from Sawyer's "tummy time" yesterday. They told us at the pediatrician that we needed to do it more because he wasn't holding his head up high enough. I'm not quite sure how they measure that, but whatever! :)


He almost got the smile again!


He is constantly chewing on his arms, hands, and pretty much anything that gets within his grasp these days!


Looks like he's quickly tiring of "tummy time." :)
