Hurray for vacation!

"People that say they sleep like a baby usually don’t have one." – Leo J. Burke

Well I went back to work last Wednesday. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I cried the night before thinking about leaving Braeden and then I cried that morning as I left to go to work. But once I got to work everything seemed oddly normal. It wasn’t as weird being back as I thought it would be. Although it was a little strange trying to figure out what to do because our store has been going under renovations since March and so much had changed since I had been gone 8 weeks. I finally got back into the swing of things though. I feel a little lazy however. I have to get out of pregnant mode where no one would let me do anything to my old self where I was going non-stop. The going non-stop would be good to help me lose the last 12 lbs of my pregnancy weight. I keep telling myself if I can lose this last 12 lbs I could lose more than that too! I would love to lose at least like 50 lbs. That would be fantastic. I’d be back at the weight I was when I met my husband then! We’ve both gained weight since we’ve been together. It’s ridiculous!

Braeden had his 2 month check-up yesterday. He weighs 11 lbs 9 oz which is in the 50th percentile. And he was 24 1/4 inches long which was in the 90th percentile. He’s one tall baby! The doctor commented on how alert and active he was for his age. He asked if my husband or myself were atheletes when we were younger. Neither of us played sports but were both very active in our youth. He said we better put up any heirlooms because Braeden would be getting into everything! The doctor also gave us suggestions on how to get Braeden to sleep in his bassinet. It’s all my fault. During the 2nd or 3rd week of his life I gave up and had him sleep in my arm’s because it was the only way he would sleep for any length of time. If I didn’t I wouldn’t have gotten any sleep whatsoever. I hate co-sleeping too. I don’t want him to be in kindergarten still sleeping in our bed! I’m on vacation starting tomorrow for a week so I’m going to try and break him of sleeping with me starting tonight. Right now he’s in his swing sleeping. I’m hoping he’ll stay there for awhile! Wish me luck!

Oh yeah…We got Braeden’s birth certificate in the mail last week and of course his name was spelled wrong. They spelled it Braedon. Bah. So then we get his Social Security card in the mail and since his birth certificate was wrong so was his card. I had to mail a letter with his birth certificate explaining the correct spelling. Hopefully they’ll get it fixed soon so I can get his social security card fixed too. Geez. And…it’s our first anniversay Sunday! We made it through one year! Hurray! 🙂 Now hopefully we can make it through the next 75 or so.. 😉
