So, tomorrow is going to be my very first day at home ALL ALONE with my son. Crazy huh? My mom has been coming over every day since he's been born to help me out while Daniel is at work. It's been great being able to take a mid morning nap once she got here BUT tomorrow I won't be so lucky. I'll probably try to lay down once River goes to sleep around 9 or 930. I've been lucky on the weekends too since Dan is home and he helps me out. I got to go to Walmart today and get some groceries all alone, it was a nice break from the house for an hour. I love being a mom and love my son and it does feel weird leaving him. He's breastfeeding and I really feel like his personal milk machine. His feeding schedule tends to dictate what i do and at what time i do it. It's always like "ok, can i go here, when did the baby eat last, when will he need to eat again." I know it's totally normal and soon he'll be on a better schedule. I'm also planning on starting to pump tomorrow so that we can introduce River to the bottle in the next couple of weeks. I'm ready for Dan to start helping with the feeding process. :) Wow, I can't believe our little guy is over 3 weeks old already. He's getting so big and looking more and more like a "person" every day. :) Everyone keeps talking about who he looks like, I've finally started to see that he looks like himself, he's River and that's who he looks like. :) He's gaining weight, i'm planning on trying to weigh him tomorrow and he's really trying to start to smile. I bet we'll see that first REAL smile in the next few weeks, I can't wait. Here are some new pics of him.
