1 Week Birthday

Well, today is Ronnie's one week birthday and he's so excited! We started the day with a lot of milk and then he watched mommy cook her breakfast (3 eggs, ham, toast, juice, tea and milk!) and now we're sleeping. Whew! What a morning! Rob went back to work today and I know it's so hard for him. But, his schedule is great and he'll be home soon. He is the boss after all!

Ronnie wore his Bronco's outfit yesterday, but it didn't help his team! Fortunately he doesn't have a Rockies outfit! Mommy is trying to figure out her "rocking baby" sling today and doing it while he's asleep, which he's not too keen on, but what are you gonna do?!

I'm feeling a lot better today. Every day I wake up my tummy is flatter and my hoo-ha feels better. How come I didn't know about the hoo-ha pain after? OK pregnant women reading this: buy lots of pads right now and lots of sitz bath stuff and plan on sitting on a lot of pillows for the week or two after birth! It sounds obvious that there would be some discomfort after pushing out a baby, but no one really tells you about that! So, I'm still using my hypnobirthing relaxation teqniques to get through the tough spots.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to brag about our little boy! (After all, isn't that what these blogs are for?!) Our little Ronnie has so much neck strength that he can go about 5 minutes or so with tummy time on his lammy skin. Also, he interlaces his fingers when he's eating and it's the cutest thing ever. It looks like he's praying or something!

Rob and I were going through our old baby pictures and found the most amazing photo! It's remarkable how much Ronnie looks like his daddy! The chin, the hairline, the dark hair... everything! Rob's hair turned blond at some point and then got dark again, so we'll see what happens to Ron.

We just love him so much! Jenny came over and held him for a bit- she's in love too! I'm telling you... this baby has some kind of magnetic draw over people! Beware of that, you friends and family!
