A Night Out

Yep, that is right. Eric and I had our first night out last pm. Grandma and Grandpa Currie watched little Alexander while we went to dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Everyone kept saying it would be great for us to do, and indeed it was. It was nice to have a little bit of time with my hubby, just me and him. I was a little skeptical at first, remember this is only the 2nd time I have been without my little buddy. The 1st time, Eric just took him for a little while, so he was still with his daddy, but this time, he was without both of us....BUT still in wonderful hands. He did wonderfully as did the grandparents. Maybe next time we will venture out for more than 2 hours. :-)
Alexander is growing, growing, growing everyday. I swear each AM we wake up and there is something different about him. Which makes me wish I really didn't have to go back to work, knowing I will miss so much. But, we have to do what we have to do, right? His feedings are going better, with much less spit up and a little less crying over an achy belly. We are wondering if maybe he has a touch of the "C" word. "Colic"--his really fussy spells happen in the late afternoon/evening and then after a couple of hours he is fine again. SO, not sure--only time will tell. He is getting better about sleeping through the night, slowly but surely. Last pm was a little different. Instead of sleeping, he layed in his crib and played by himself for 3 hours. I kept checking on him because he would get fussy when he lost his pacifier but he wasn't down for sleeping and I wasn't down for staying up. So, I turned his monitor on and tried to get a little sleep. Now, today, he is sleepy--go figure. :-)
Mommy is getting better, a little more each day. Eric says next week, I will be turning kartwheels and boy do I hope he is right! This has been such a long recovery process. I went to the doctor AGAIN yesterday for them to check out my incision. Things do not seem to be getting worse and she things maybe, just maybe, things are starting to get better. She has extended my antibiotics for another 4 days and I am back there for another recheck on Friday. Boy, I will be glad when I can stop going there every few days!
Now that I have spent enough time on here while Alexander is sleeping, I think I am going to push for getting in a shower before he wakes up! More later--
