Age: 10 weeks!!
today was a day of many firsts. 1) my lil boogeyman is 10 weeks old! wow! 2) holdie went to the mall! 3) mr. h peed in his eye! 4) mr. h peed in his mouth! 5) mr. h pooped in the bathtub! (after deciding a bath would be the most effective means of calming down a hysterical baby who had just pissed all over his face while we were in process of changing a massive poopy diaper). 6) we (ok, dad) inadvertently discovered that HR digs white folksy beard rock! (fleet foxes)
so it was a nice day. (other than the poop/pee catastrophe). it's always nice, though, having dad around. you can see the joy in holdie's face when his dad plays with him. not to mention, mom gets a little relief with midnight diaper changes and dealing with fits. today i actually got the relief of going shopping! i don't even like shopping. but grandma sassana took us to the mall today and i got to replace all my maternity granny panties with new underwear from victoria's secret, buy updated work blouses for my return in 2 weeks, some jewelry for work so i don't feel like such a frump, comfy tanks that aren't stained in milk from the gap and undereye concealer to hide the baggage from sephora. so nothing super fun by any means - more 'real life' slash 'i survived maternity leave' must haves, but the fact that i got to go into something like 7 stores without a baby attached to my boob (who, by the way, is literally attached to my boob right now - not this second, he's in bed - but all day today and yesterday - we had a 75 minute feeding today after the poopie bath time, and 20 mins later he was hungry AGAIN - i'm praying its his 3 month growth spurt and not a new increase in appetite or i'll have empty 8 year old boy boobs at this rate. . .). going into stores, buying things, trying clothes i don't even want on? FREEDOM, PEOPLE. FREEDOM.
plus an added bonus, we got chipotle. this bitch here loves her some burrito bowls.
exactly tomorrow and i'll be at work in two weeks. ugh. but i gotta admit i felt nice putting on nice clothes. not that i miss the binding feeling of work clothes, but i feel like a real adult in a pencil skirt and blouse, vs. a stretched out tank top and mesh athlethic shorts. maybe i'll even get used to brushing my hair? HA!
the best part of my day today, though, was when i met up with my mother in law, husband and baby boy after rummaging around in express for a while, and seeing h's little round hammy face light up with glee when he saw my face and heard my voice after being apart for 20 minutes. oh man, heart melter. god save the future girlies who's hearts he'll end up breaking 20 years down the road. it'll be the biggest heart breaking yet amazing experience at the same time, the first day i come home from work and see his little face. hopefully he'll still remember me after being gone 8 plus hours. if not, i'll crawl in a hole and cry. i love my baby boy. now if only he'll let mom and dad have some peace and quiet for an evening to kick back and enjoy a couple cold brews like the married couple we are.
