Odin is over a month old! It's quite amazing actually, Husband says it seems like it's been longer than that, but I actually disagree, it feels like no time has gone by at all. Poor tiny boy still fit into his newborn things until a few days ago. Although mostly he wore the newborn zip up pajamas, a) because they're a little easier to get him into than a onesie and pants b) they keep him warm well c) most of the onesies that fit him are short sleeved and if I'm getting cold in a sweater I'd be worried about him being cold in the little short sleeves. Although to be honest, I'm cold when I shouldn't be lately, everyone says it's just my body adjusting to not being pregnant anymore, I think I'm just losing my love for the cold, which I find sad.
It feels good to see he's finally gaining some heft to himself so he's able to wear more than just his newborn jammies. He looks like he's growing up so much in his little onesie pants combo outfits! Oh how fast the time goes.
Odin's also started (mostly) sleeping through most of the night. He will normally go to bed a little before Loki's bath, then sleep till around midnight or 1, and then he wakes up for a feeding, and normally wants to stay away until 2:30 or 3, depending on how awake he's feeling. But all in all, I'm doing okay with this, it just takes me a few minutes to actualy feel human in the mornings when I'm expected to do the whole 'walking talking taking care of a two-year-old thing.' But hey, at least he's sleeping for extended periods of time instead of just like 2 hours at a time!
We're currently looking for a new family doctor, partly because I feel as if we're taking advantage of the system of GraceMed because we have insurance now and also because I grew up going to the same doctor until after I was 21, I would like that for my kids as well. Consistency has always been my friend. Going to make more calls around tomorrow and see if anything looks good. We've gotten lots of suggestions from friends that I need to check out, so hurrah for friends helping me out.
Right now I'm getting all set to go back to work tomorrow, and so I've been pumping more often, not only in preparation to do it more often, but to let Husband have some experience bottle feeding Odin while I'm at home to help if need be. But they are both doing so well I haven't really been needed other than to keep Loki in line.
I am a little anxious as to how pumping at work is going to go. If not for my plans to pump tomorrow before I go in I would already have everything packed up in my little bag and ready to go, as is I've got most of it packed up and ready, or at least all the parts are gathered together for easier packing.
