All goings on

I have learned in the past three weeks that:

a) My son can certainly pee with the best of them. He can pee through his clothes, even while wearing a diaper and two layers of onesies and still soak my clothes too (and my sheets if he's laying on me and I'm laying on the bed).


b) I can't stand staying home. Spencer, Christen and I have been out almost every day and it's been so nice! I'll miss my husband when he has to go back to work next week.

c) Vibrating bassinets are great for a fussy baby, but not for sleeping. Ever. Evidently. Also evidently the only place an infant will sleep between midnight and 7am is on top of their parents.

d) You really never know anyone, like when you find out information about someone that could be detrimental to their relationship and they still refuse to call you or your husband back so that maybe it could be straightened out. Also, I realized that it's something that should not be handled by me.

So we've been taking Spencer out with us house hunting and out for meals -- he's slept through every meal we've taken him to -- Tijuana Flats, Mimi's (that was Valentine's Day dinner - yum!), Outback, BJ's, the BBQ place in Safety Harbor (delish! mango bbq sauce!). It's been a great few weeks. We've had a few hard times, a couple gassy evenings and a few late nights, but for the most part we've all gotten a lot more sleep than we thought we would, and Spencer's been great. When a friend from work came back from maternity leave she said that she loved being a mother but that it was a lot harder than she thought it would be. Well, it's easier than I thought it would be. Why do people try to scare you?

Also, as of last Thursday I have lost 25 lbs ... but I only gained 18 with the pregnancy so I'm officially lighter than I was on my wedding day! So 25 lbs in 2 weeks ... I may actually lose some real weight if I can get rid of my new pooch!
