Sorry...still preoccupied with baby

I'm afraid there won't be many intellectual things spouting out of me in the near future. Too busy sitting here with my boob hanging out and a critter attached to it. Fun fun. He's still good btw. Not the excellent sleeper he was a week ago, but I expected that. At least he still has 2 decent naps a day and only techically wakes up once during the nite. Still trying to figure out how to get him to easily fall asleep after a feeding tho...

A few things I like and missed abt having a newborn:

• the crazy big burps from such a wee body
• poop face...most of you will kwim
• the bliss they get while nursing
• the unintentional and sometimes shocking (to them) movements
• the gassy smiles
• the soft unblemished skin (until the lovely infant acne sets in)
• the intent stares
• chin quivers
  

I know there are prolly more, but that's all I can think of right now.

That being said, I'll be glad when the infant stage is over. I don't want to make it seem like I'm ungrateful or whatever abt having a baby, but I really am not a fan of nite feedings and a wide awake baby at 4 am. And the crying for no apparent reason. I know I should be enjoying Iain as he is at every stage, especially since I won't be having another baby, but I can't help but look forward to when he's a little more independant. Now that I know what fun a toddler can be and what neat little people babies turn into, I feel impatient to get there already. Bad, I know.

A note on my recovery. Its been GREAT. I feel almost normal, only 2 weeks later. Went out to the store last nite and was able to move the car seat ahead while sitting in it, which I expected to hurt like a SOB but it was fine!
