Hanging out with Mommy.

It's been three weeks since our little man came into our lives and we've had a good night sleep. :) So far, it has been extremely challenging being parents but watching him become himself is so wonderful. He still has his days and nights mixed up (awake until 4am most nights) and sleeps into late morning and naps some in the afternoon. I try and get as much sleep during the day as I can but am easily distracted by household chores, etc. I can't help it! Jody has been great during the weekends and takes care of him as much as possible (besides the breastfeeding) so I can have somewhat of a break. Last night, Jody's parents came over to babysit while we went out to eat and to the movies to see The Dark Night. That was the first time I was away from my baby for six whole hours but I managed to survive it. He was completely fine because Grandma and Grandpa Copp took great care of him while we were gone. Anyway, I am four weeks into my maternity leave and I am feeling better than ever. I am healing just fine and starting to look like my old self. I even put away my maternity clothes for good and am back in my old clothes. Actually, Jody is treating me to a new wardrobe since my size 4 pre-pregnancy self has changed somewhat. I only have about ten more pounds to go! We'll see how successful I am...
