I only have a week

until Eric goes back to work. I was blessed to have him three weeks, if he had stayed on the original plan, he would have been back today...
I'm a little scared, I will have him all to myself all day Monday through Friday, on top of cooking dinner (cesarean says keep it on light side housework wise for 6 weeks... I'll let him continue to do the dishes, but I can help with laundry, I think. And some cleaning has GOT to get done.
I didn't do any today because I was upset again, first a botched doc's appointment this morning, the remembering "OH yeah, I can't wear my rings yet because I never found them."
That and napping with Eric and Daisy on the bed... baby starts fussing, who gets up? Mommy. Dog and Daddy slept through it. *sigh* Man's best friend my butt.
So Alex has been napping all afrernoon in his swing- I'm scared he has discovered it and decided it's more comfortable than a crib- he's just wanted to be held a lot the last couple days, which is fine. He wants to be held, we hold him. Sometimes we hold him when he's not even awake to enjoy it, but we do.
Breastfeeding is hard, but looking at him after eating makes me smile. It's a good feeling to be able to take care of his needs, and I'm glad he takes to a bottle so easy, Eric fed him this morning... I'm a little dependent of the bottles come Thanksgiving time- I think I can sneak away gracefully better at Grandma's than at Eric's parents' friends, so I will have to have a couple of bottles ready.
Yes, I've been concerned with Thanksgiving before Alex came, lol. We haven't done the two places in one day before, but I figured it was important to do... we're just going to do Carona first... I haven't asked her yet, but I think it will work. grandma's Thanksgiving starts at 1ish, so hopefully we can go to Johnny and June's for a couple of hours beforehand (not looking forward to it especially, but whatever.)
