I have this constant nagging feeling that I can not do enough for Christopher. When he's crying I wonder if he's eating enough, does something hurt, is he happy, can I do more?!? Does he hate being swaddled or hate flailing his arms around more? It's such a guessing game at this stage. He's three weeks old now. It's amazing how fast that three weeks went by. We have had him home for two weeks. Feels like just a few days. Third time around you would think it would be a piece of cake. It's not all that easy.
Here are Christopher's feet after the second casts were off just before getting the third casts on. Lookin' good, big guy!
This week begins a new challenge for me... getting everyone up in the morning and taking Kate to school. Wish me luck. Actually I don't think it will be all that bad. I worry that the baby will cry all the way there and all the way home. So be it. But the crying is SO stressful. Can't I just drive and hold him in my lap like people do with their little foo foo dogs? Except I won't hang him over my arm to look out the window. I'll keep him in the crook of my arm and smother him with kisses. Can't be as dangerous as texting and driving either.

Thanks for the pics!!! I think he looks way more like you than the girls, but who knows at this stage. Wishing you luck on that drive. I remember that from driving Mark 30 minutes to school and back and then there and back again each day in Palm Springs, Alex crying so hard that I could only pull over and cry with him. But it passes quickly! Or find a willing carpool mom to help??? :)
ReplyDeleteI give you the green light to pull up on the opposite side of the road in the red zone to drop off Kate!! Good luck tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteoh he is absolutely kissable. and yes i think you can leave him on your lap although its not safe and you might get arrested for child neglect. Have a great day tomorrow and flower power to ya!!
