Tummy time and other ramblings

I've posted two days in a row! I know, I know, it's a miracle. All I can say is don't get too used to it! :)

Sawyer weighs 12 lbs 6.8 ozs so he almost gained six ounces this week for those of you who are keeping track. For those of you who think I am too wrapped up in this whole weight thing you're not alone. When I went to A Mother's Gift today Lisa said, "You're back ALREADY? I want you to build up your confidence!" I told her that I was; it had been a week since I'd been there. :) I really think that I am going to try and go two weeks or at least ten days until I have him weighed again. It just works out so well to go there after Weight Watchers, have him weighed, feed him, and then meet Lorne for lunch. I actually left and fed him in Lorne's office today because I don't really feel comfortable at A Mother's Gift anymore and that's really frustrating to me. I wish that I could talk to Candy about it but she's never there when I am anymore. I may try and call her one day this week and see if I can catch her there. He has his four month checkup on October 6th so I may just try and go at least once between now and then. I really wish that I could relax with the whole thing but it's just not in my nature to do so I don't think. I may call and see how much it costs to rent a Medela scale like they have. I probably could have bought one by now if I added up the cost of gas and Tolltags after all these trips to the hospital. Oh well!

He slept about seven hours total last night which was awesome! I really wish that I could predict how he will be at night so that I could know whether or not to nap during the day. I have been trying to catch one when I can as I hate to risk it and have to go through a sleepless night with him.

I maintained at Weight Watchers today which is good considering how I've been snacking lately. I asked about what will happen after October 9th which is when my free time ends and they said that I will have to pay each time I weigh but I only have to weigh once a month since I'm Lifetime. There's no way that I can only weigh once a month. (Anyone sensing a trend with me?) Having a stranger weigh me is the whole essence of Weight Watchers and why it works so well. The Meetings are also an important component, not to mention that WW gets me out of the house with Sawyer once a week which I really need. I enjoy our time in the "real world." :)

Here are some pics Lorne took last night while I was in the shower. He is getting to be quite the shutterbug:


Tummy time for Sawyer wouldn't be the same if he couldn't chew on his arm or hands.
