We had our 5 week check-up yesterday. Aiden now weighs a little over 9 lbs and is 21 inches longs. So he's grown 2 inches and 2 1/2 lbs in a month. The doctor calls him "wonder-baby" cause there's nothing wrong with him. He doesn't even fuss at Dr. Minkus when he's squeezing him and moving him all around to check everything out.
His Granny (Toby's mom) has been visiting since Sunday.
It's been wonderful having family here. We've been out and about with the baby to restaurants and stores and he's been great. And having someone here who loves holding the baby gives me lots of nice breaks for ... well I'd like to say cleaning or laundry, but I really just nap :)
Aiden is a grunter in his sleep. He is fast asleep and everything is fine and he's grunting away. I made the mistake of thinking his diaper was wet or he was hungry a few times and woke him up only to find out he was dead asleep and fine and now I had to spend the next 30min rocking him back to sleep. His father sleeps through this hideous grunting just fine, but it keeps me awake like a siren is going off in my bedroom. Horrible. I was going crazy with lack of sleep. Finally last night we put a fan next to my head to whiten the noise... and it worked!! Hooray.
I slept so well last night. I couldn't even hear Toby snoring.
I quit my job at Orvis. About time I guess. After working there for 5 years and acting as the assistant manager for at least 2 years I was still only making $12/hr, with no promotion in sight.... I've been in contact with a woman who has a petsitting company that needs administrative help. She says I can do alot of it at home or bring the baby when I need to be in her office. Hopefully that will work out.
