Ah, I got sleep, Scout should feel awesome b/c he slept 7 hours last night and then another 5 today – however he says he still feels sleepy. Odd.

Alex has started sleeping for decent chunks of time without being held, and there’s a pacifier that he actually likes.

Ah things are settling in.

Wonder what the next thing will be that we need to problem solve. Perhaps the mystery of WHY when someone calls a cell phone and gets no answer that they find it fricking necessary to call my house phone and completely wake my lactating, exhausted, healing from delivery ass up.

Ah the bliss of 5 hours of sleep followed by a cup of coffee.

Today’s goals:

Finish the April page in his scrapbook.

Bathe and wash my hair. (Before Alex and Sylvia show at 530)

Put the warmer upstairs so I can give him mini baths when he gets changed.

Right now I think I need to put “eat breakfast” on this list too.

Edit: did it!

Ah, I had to get plenty of sleep to be able to call HR to deal with insurance.

Issue 1 – Adding Alex to insurance (easy)
Issue 2 – Changing us to Scout’s insurance (more difficult b/c I was saying we were moving and she thought I was concerned about change of address – had to define terms of ‘no no, moving to the land of vices, no job)
Issue 3 – money – couldn’t quite get her to tell me just how much change there would be in my paycheck, so that might be a dandy surprise.

Again, thankfully I had some sleep.

Pediatrician day. Really liked the guy, he was very good at slow pitching ideas and letting me either catch and return, or catch and pocket for later – an approach that suits me well.

Everyone is very impressed with how much Alex has already gained – already back up to his birth weight, which apparently is unheard of in a breast fed baby, and not so much with a formula fed baby either. Strong neck and back, no jaundice whatsoever, and as always “All that HAIR!”

It’s great. : ) I’m in love with my little boy.

I’m also so tired I’m pretty sure I could just die.
