11 weeks

So Christopher was 11 weeks old yesterday!  It's amazing how time flies.  I have to say as I'm gearing up to go back to work, I'm on the fence.  I'm sad I won't get to see him all the time, but at the same time, I'm a little relieved to get back to "normal" and not to be always at the whem of the boob.  I'll be pumping at work, but I get to dictate when I do it and don't have to feel the urgency of a screaming baby.

I feel a bit guilty to want to go back, but I know how much I'll miss him at the same time!  He's changed so much in this short time, I know I'll miss stuff.  That makes me really sad :(

Luckily, he'll be at our neighbor's house and I'll feel comfortable asking what's going on with him and know that he'll be spoiled rotten with love :)

I'm pretty exhausted these days too so I'm not sure how that'll work once I'm back at the office full time.  I feel bad for Reuben to have to deal with me passing out asleep at 9 every night, but the 2-3 hours here and there, just really don't add up to "I got 7 hours of sleep last night".  It's not the same as continuious.  I hope that will get better soon.  He still seems to want to eat every 4 hours at night....2.5-3 during the day.  He's bee cluster feeding in the evenings too where he's nursing ever 1.5 hours.  That is just exhausting!

But on a good note, Christopher is doing really well with head control and is almost ready to hold his head independently.  He's also been smiling and cooing a LOT and seems like a really happy little guy!  He's so good--only fussy when he really needs something.

Audrey is a great big sis too.  She loves to try to make him feel better by dancing, singing, hugging or giving him his pacifier.  She's pretty good at figuring out what he needs.  She has watched a couple diaper changes, but otherwise is not interested in helping with that AT ALL!

That's all for now...
