Refreshed!!

We have been home from the hospital a week yesterday. I haven't even been out of the house except but for a few seconds at a time...I'm getting cabin fever!! We are going to the doctor this afternoon. Originally we were to go next Wednesday, but little Riley has a poop problem. He didn't poop yesterday and hasn't yet today. He is such a good sport and hasn't been too fussy for Mommy and Daddy. Our "routine" is in the works. He is feeding about every 3-4 hours, but doesn't hesitate to let me know if he is hungry at 2 1/2. I'm so excited because I actually have on pre-pregnancy jeans!! American Eagle!! I'm weighing in at about 6 pounds less then when I got pregnant, which is great. I hope I can keep it off.

Riley hopefully is getting out of the fighting sleep stage, it comes and goes. He loves his bouncy seat and likes the swing okay. Jeremy is off tomorrow thank goodness...we've missed him so much this week. It continues to amaze me the bond that he and I share with Riley. We bond with him in such different ways and they all seem right. I thought after Riley was born our relationship would change drastically and was fearing we would be irritable towards each other or pull apart because of the first-time parenting frustration, but the opposite has taken place. He is like a whole different person and I never realized how lucky I really am until this experience.

Riley doesn't like to be covered up...he kicks the blankets off of him, but can't stand to be naked. I don't get that. We're trying to learn what cry means what, which is the most difficult thing yet. He circ hasn't healed yet, so they are going to look at it today. It could be up to 10 days after, but just want to make sure. My new favorite thing he does is when I burp him he likes to nestle in my neck and go to sleep afterwards.

Today is the first day I have "fixed" my hair since we've been home and he didn't know what to think with it being down and curly. He looked at me with amazement and reached for my hair. It was so cute!! We may try to venture to Granny and Popa's this weekend depending on today's doctor visit and the weather.
