We made it uneventfully, got to the hotel at 2 am eastern. Plane rides were good, baby slept about half of the way to Detroit. Detroit is a long way from San Diego, basically Canada to Mexico, so it meant for a long second flight (4.5hrs), right about bedtime. It was also 30+ minutes late leaving. Bobby was really good, very happy and quiet. He fell asleep right before 7:30pm takeoff for about 30 minutes, but then was up until 10pm Eastern. Wide awake, very happy. There was another baby, probably closer to a year old, who cried 90% of the flight. Yikes. Then he slept from then on, through landing, baggage claim the drive home. Fed him and got a few more hours out of him. The problem is a one room hotel rooms, means for early evenings and early mornings for everyone. We'll see how that goes. Same with nap time.
He spit up a lot. changed his outfit during the layover. Could have changed mine. Was also one burp away from his third shirt. And he continues to this morning, All done with a big smile, but I think watch my diet, although I had very little dairy (cheese on sandwich) yesterday.
I thought Ricks computer could take my camera card so I didn't bring the connecting cord, so photos will have to wait.

Saturday, September 19, 2009
Well, I spoke too soon, the last 4 nights sleep have been really lousy, after his first chunk of sleep 8-12, maybe 1am, he is waking OFTEN. Growth spurt? or just being a stinker. I pretty much hate bed time. I'm just impatient and it's such a crap shoot whether and how I get him to sleep.
He is able to suck up to 3 fingers right now, but doesn't seem to do it at bed time.
Our days in the bouncy seat may be numbered. If he is strapped in, it doesn't take long before he is trying to sit up. Same even in his car seat. Both during his walk and riding around, he does a mini crunch and just leans forward as much as the straps allow. He just can't wait to grow up and sit up :(
Got my nails done, updated for fall season.
We are coping, as we should.

We did it
So the queen bed is a little cramped lately and I'd been meaning to use this week to transition to the crib, so I did it. I put Bobby to bed as usual, just a little late, but nurse, burp, lay down in the bed and nurse while he drift off. But at 10pm when I went to bed, I moved him to his crib (still in my room). He slept until 1am there, back to sleep 1:30-4:30 in the crib, then 4:50-7:30am in the crib! This is good. Harder on me to get up and nurse in the rocker, but I am glad he can sleep "on his own"
He also slept in later, usually he gets up around 6 and can stay half asleep but squirmy until i get him out of bed 7/7:30ish. Sometimes if he wakes 5:30am -ish, he will go back to sleep 7-8. Yesterday we woke at 6am, but nappped 8-10am. So we'll see what today brings. But hooray for the crib. The next step will be moving him down the hall.

Baby Bobby
What's new with us? Let's see....
He actually rolled over twice (front to back) unprompted during tummy time yesterday. He was in mini push up/cobra position and then just went over. I didn't turn him or anything. He had gone over back to front on the bed before but that was b/c it was so soft. He is doing really well on his stomach, where as it used to bother him after about 5 minutes, he now seems to like hanging out there.
He seems really strong for a little guy. You can see it in his quads, calves and shoulders, but probably b/c he's so lean. He doesn't like to bend at the waist. So when you pick him up from lying down, he basically goes straight to standing. One day laying on grammys chest, he straightened his legs and basically stood up. He does though like to be upright in general, mostly sitting propped up or over a shoulder. Sort of past the cuddling, depending on his mood.
Still spitting up a lot. Yay.
Sleeping is hit or miss. Sometimes good, other just okay. I think he's getting enough sleep, but I end up holding him to get in a good nap, and putting him to bed is a solid process. I can usually go from the start of his bath to asleep in 45' but it's a crap shoot whether he sleeps 1 or 3 hours at that point. The other night he slept 8pm to 2am, his longest stretch yet. I think we are still recovering from visiting Timberlake, having the Wilsons here, then picking up Rick from the airport at 9pm. Several days of wonky napping threw us off, but we're back on and today was a good day, napping 8-10am, then 3 other naps of about 45-60 minutes each (including now) so again, bedtime is any ones guess.
What else, still not taking a pacifier, I've abandoned that effort. He can sort of suck his pointer finger and sometimes a thumb (knuckle at least) but not in a soothing manner, just sort of something to do. He likes looking at his hands, sometimes holds his own hand and his grip is very strong when he gets something.
Rick is here, he has lost 10 pounds, I am struggling to keep these same 2 off, so it's tough trying to fatten him up and stick to my plan. Especially when it's so fun to eat out and get ice cream etc. Need Will power this week!

3 Months Today
Approx 13.5 pounds, so that's 1 pound in 3 weeks, about 5 ounces a week. On the slow side of gaining weight, but he's great. Very chatty. And strong. Instead of just kicking the air now, he is able to put his feet down and arch his back while lying down. Have to be careful of this one. He's studying his fist and hands and I think is just starting to reach and grab for things. Just barely though. He's been slow to open up his fisted hands but that's changing as I type. He has a good grip once he gets something, intentionally or not. He is also a "happy spitter." He spits up a lot, but it doesn't seem to upset him, just is a bit gross and stinky and means a lot of laundry for both of us.
Sleeping is hit or miss. Spends about 11-12 hours at night asleep, in bouts from 2-5 hours long, depending on the day. Naps 3 times usually, anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours, either in the Pack and Play, big bed, Port a Crib, or even his swing and bouncey seat. I would like this to be about 45-75 minutes 3 times, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. And even if that's enough sleep, I don't like how he's getting it. Needs to be nursed or rocked to sleep, and he sleeps in my bed. I didn't plan it this way, but I will admit, it's much easier in the middle of the night but once he starts crawling and Rick is around, it won't work. I am going to try to get him into his crib more, but he just doesn't sleep as well there.
He's in size 2 diapers. I bought a couple new outfits, 3-6 months size. He is pretty true to size but we are getting ready for cooler days. There are 3 consignment sales next weekend, so we'll be busy! Then Rick comes Monday 9/14 and we are super excited to see him and just allow him to get some rest and family time.

2 Months
Actually 10 weeks. 12.55 pounds, 23.5 inches. pretty average all in all. Got an oral vaccine combo which he actually took relatively well considering he's never had anything but milk. he also got 3 shot vaccines. OUCH. He did really well actually. The first needle he didn't cry at all (yet) and she was really fast putting in the second in his quad then the third in the other leg. Then he screamed for about 10 seconds then relaxed but he still wasn't pleased.
Doctor is nice, no concerns from him or me. He said he has water in his scrotum, so that's why his balls are so big. They won't always be that big. Pretty normal stuff. An innocent murmur and a little bit of cradle cap starting. But his tear duct might be cleared up. it's been gunk free for several days now.
Otherwise just sitting around growing and running errands. It's pretty boring actually and makes me want to work. I miss coaching right now and wish I were involved in something, but my main focus (after him) should be losing weight. No other moms I see are chunky still!
Rick is still getting ready for his deployment out in the desert. We get emails when he can but no cell phone reception. They also go into the field every now and then, where they camp out and eat MREs. t sounds like he's doing mostly legal work at the remote base site. And it's about 105+ degrees, so he makes sure to hydrate. He is coming here Sept. 14 which happens to coincide with Harvey's visit....

California
Quick update while the baby naps. I was all packed up and we were walking out the door when I realized Rick has the stroller in the back of his car, at work. Doh. I can wrap him up but it's a little hot and long for that, so we'll go sit by the pool and hopefully rick can come home for lunch. he's really busy but I'm still glad I stayed, the weekend went really fast.
it was great having the Martins visit. We went to the LaJolla beach for a bit, but weren't really prepared to have a beach day so it was just the right amount of short. Lunch out and then just dinner and visiting after naps. Sunday was pool and lunch. Time flies with children, nothing is quick with us yet and napping dominates. Baby adjusted very well after first night and day. Slept all Saturday night - almost 12 hours with small feeding breaks. and since then has been well rested and behaved and sleeping on pacific coast night time, about 10-7am. He's been very gassy but at least at night has been going back to sleep easily.
Monday we went on the base and took care of adding bobby to the insurance and went shopping a bit. then walmart and best buy. got rick a 10 inch netbook for $300 and it has turned out to be worth it. small keyboard but sharp display and webcam and very functional and light. no CD drive, but for email, Internet and skype, it's perfect.
today we will go over to the Carlsbad outlets and check out coach and gymboree and BCBG and barneys and the like, tomorrow who knows, maybe Judy M can get me out of here, then i take the red eye back at 10pm so hopefully that experience will be smooth too, getting out here was pretty simple, baby was awake but undisruptive. he slept the whole short first flight, but then only about an hour on the 4 hour flight, it helped the guy next to me had noise cancelling head phones but i hated getting him up to change diapers. no movie which i thought was weird but good salmon dinner!
i am really excited to see wiley and archer again and sad i missed the cake decorating party but will make up for it this coming weekend.

The 336
Life in Greensboro is good so far. We have adjusted well and are enjoying it. Bobby is even getting used to the barking, and only occasionally gets spooked still. He was doing great the last couple days, working up to almost 5 hours straight of sleeping for a couple nights. This is however from 9-2am so if I don't go to bed until 11, I don't get all that sleep too. The last two nights have been more of a blur and he has quit sleeping after about 2 and I don't know where the hours go until 7am. Oh well. He is growing and eating. Currently, he's been asleep for 2.5+ hours so I might pay for that later. He's also doing well when we go shopping and run errands, provided he is fed well and generally stays in motion. He has behaved really well for Grammy while I go to the gym and takes his bottle when hungry.
I am still a city person and hate having to drive 12 minutes to the gym. Ick.
And people down here have real thick accents sometimes.

Comparison Shopping
So I've been looking through old flickr a lot. it's actually fun, i just wish they had an easier way to scroll through. Beside the point.
It is wild to see how kids grow. Wiley at 11 months was a totally different creature. when he was just learning to walk etc. wow
then since Carolyn has birth pics up, I've come to the realization, that babies are sort of generic looking. Not in a bad way at all, but they don't look like much at 5 weeks. just cute. I see a lot of similarities btw Cash and Bobby. Cash is a lot chubbier though, even for 9.12, we are at 9 and a half pounds or so but don't have the cheeks Cash did. I think Bobby might be long for his weight right now. I am feeding him a lot, I want him to get big and fat. Also, if that's what brown hair looks like on babies, we don't have it here. Still TBD.
Grammy is on her way, we are excited to have company again.

i'm screwed
so i've been waiting for the baby to get up so i can feed him, but he is out. and has been. basically since 2pm. he's gotten up twice to eat but then goes down again for 2.5-3 hour chunks. this might be a long night for me. i guess i'll lie down now too.
we were up a lot last night and all morning We slept well 9ish-12pm Thursday, and 12-2:30am but then he was up until 5am, slept until 6am, up until 7:30, up after 8:30am then awake until 2pm. so i hope he's making up for that instead of taking away from tonights rest.

July
nothing going on. had a good visit with rick. sad to see him go again.
1 month visit for the kid on Monday. he was 9 pounds, 6 ounces. 21.5 inches or something like that. length was pretty inprecise. got a hep B vaccine. big needle right in his skinny thigh. couple good screams then settled down.
i went to my follow up OB appt today. i am all healed. the nice little old lady nurse thought i was doing good since i was 14 pounds less than my 17 week check up. didn't mention i was still 18 pounds over my 10 week appt weight.
baby is pretty good. he gets fussy at spells and won't settle down but they don't last long at all. he spits up what i think is a lot, and i assume he eats too much too fast but then starts crying for food about 5 minutes later. odd. pooping less which i guess is normal.
i am getting pretty cabin feverish, but there's only so many errands i can create and do. and things i would do inside i can't do unless i ignore him. i don't like walking too long since if he gets hungry i can't plop down on a curb and feed him just like that. so it will be nice when i can hopefully pass him onto grammy to watch at naptime and i can go to the gym or something.

4th of July
Robert is one month old. Yay. It is nice having Rick here. He has changed a lot of diapers for me! Also did laundry and some house errands. And I took a really long shower today. It's nice to just have company too. If I could somehow wrangle a pedicure and massage, life would be great. We have a doctors appt on Monday then Rick leaves in the evening.
We went to the Outback for dinner. Robert did really well (sleeping). We also spent today at the pool while Rick practiced his swimming. Tonight we watched fireworks then walked to Wendys for a frosty in the moby wrap.
Looks like I will be out of here around the 15th. I think that is a good timeline and I am ready to be in North Carolina. I think it will be fun.

Two Things
Well, this whole bad economy never affected us so far, but now it has - Screwed by the struggling airlines. Rick's 79,000 frequent flier miles have expired. I guess back in February, but with no warning or anything. Maybe just some fine print about use it or lose it. Sucks. Why we need them is because he is coming home for 4th of July. Woohoo. However, tickets are $550+. Money is no object this time, he's coming no matter what, but it would have been nice to use the 50K miles he thought he had saved.
Completely separately, I stole this from elsewhere, but what will TLC call the next generation of the show now?

We are doing well, enjoying walking longer each day. Making up errands to do to kill time. Feeling a little cabin fever, but I know it's best to keep him sheltered a little bit. I do wish I had some patio furniture though. If I could get it home I would buy a plastic lawn chair from the CVS.

Weight
According to the Wii Fit, my baby weighs 8.8 pounds. I don't think it's all that accurate.
The floor scale has him at 8.0.

And.
He got fussy so I chickened out on giving him a real bath again so he's a dirty boy. He is getting a lot of wiping down. A submersion bath is now our goal for tomorrow.
And apparently, I have to have baby lights and baby dark clothes. I guess I have enough to wait for a half load, but honestly, that is a lot of laundry and you all know my washer takes upwards of 90 minutes to do a load, maybe more. Anyway, now I have a really cute light blue romper instead of a white one and a dingy yellow one. But my new navy blue changing pad cover is ready to go. I did have a moments pause when I put it in, but not enough I guess. I did hold the red onesie out though!

Day 15 of Life
Well that was sort of rough. We went to Babies R Us uneventfully around noon today, then home for a long nap and sitting around. Went out to ATM and Subway around 6 then he was up. I think he got his 18 hours of sleep in from midnight to 6pm today at least. He was very fidgety and eating a ton, or at least 'on the breast' but I assume there was milk coming out, eventually he dozed off and I put him in the bassinet, but then he let out 2 or 3 screams, which I never want to hear again. He doesn't ever cry and barely even whimpers so I hate that sound even more. So we cuddled and I didn't think he was hungry, but he ate some more and then I'd go to put him in a more comfortable position in my arms and he'd be up all over again. Switch sides and same thing would happen. I was waiting for a huge spit up but it didn't come either. Wonder if he was that hungry. Fine by me if he was. I am just sort of feeding him all the time and letting him decide when he's done. Sometimes it's an hour apart, sometimes 3, generally lasting for 10-20 minutes. There's really no pattern. Anyway, he's down now, on the changing pad on the couch and I'm sitting in the dark typing. I need to fold laundry, I guess I could do it in the kitchen. This better be a one time thing. Bedtime cannot be this complicated. I think he was just wound up for whatever reason and got overly tired. I didn't even want to change him or carry him the 20 steps to the bedroom in case he woke up. Poor kid, I have no idea what I'm doing.

2 weeks old
Well Rick is on the road, so we are on our own. Nights are fine. Lonely but fine. I will probably miss adult companionship really soon. We went out to the grocery store this morning. Around 11am. Took 6 minutes to get there, we were in and out in 30 minutes. And I didn't even park in the expecting mothers spot. Put his car seat in the cart and food all around him, so it was a smaller trip, but that's what i have to get used to because unloading the car and getting it upstairs is the real hassle. He was awake but calm the whole time. We're going to rest for a few hours now and then maybe treat ourselves to a smoothie and a walk later. It's really me who is worse for the wear physically after going out. Don't know if I have a busted stitch or this is just normal recovery. I am ready to get out of here though. Ready for the move, but will wait until mid July after both of our next check ups. Hopefully Rick can come back for 4th of July and we'll pack up then.

We're Alone
And I'm sort of excited about it. I guess I just feel stressed with house guests and want them to be entertained and taken care of. I got over it for the most part, but I like just the 3 of us.
We tried something a little different last night. After he fed a lot, like 10, 11, 12 pm we burped, changed and put right down. Same thing at 3am, usually I cuddle until he is out then move him to the bassinet, but once his eyes closed, he went down and stayed down. Made for more sleep for all of us I think. I think every day is still different, it's tough to have to burp him or even change him because those things wake him up.
I'm not sure if it's us doing the laundry or the kid is bigger but 2 of his rompers didn't really fit from heel to neck.

Due Date!
We had a follow up check up this morning for Baby's billirubin levels. I would like to go to the pediatricians every week. it puts me at ease. he's probably in the top percentage of healthy babies but not knowing how one acts, i can be suspicious of everything.
He weighed 7 pounds 12.8 ounces. Last Monday he was 6 lb 14oz when we went in for follow up at 5 days old, born 7 lb. 3 oz. I was very happy to hear this. They didn't pull blood, although he is still a bit yellow down to his armpit line, they weren't too worried since eating and peeing and pooping is going well. I asked all my questions and got them answered. His stool is normal, his tear ducts are closed but we are going to massage them. This doctor still recommended the Vitamin supplement (more A and D than iron).
We returned the pump. It was $2/day and we haven't used it since Wednesday probably but it was worth not making the trip back.
Everything went smoothly and they actually combined our 2 week visit with this to save us a trip so we go back July 6 for 1 month.
He weighed 7 pounds 12.8 ounces. Last Monday he was 6 lb 14oz when we went in for follow up at 5 days old, born 7 lb. 3 oz. I was very happy to hear this. They didn't pull blood, although he is still a bit yellow down to his armpit line, they weren't too worried since eating and peeing and pooping is going well. I asked all my questions and got them answered. His stool is normal, his tear ducts are closed but we are going to massage them. This doctor still recommended the Vitamin supplement (more A and D than iron).
