We had a couple of events planned for today and tomorrow: today my sister-in-law is receiving the department award for interior design and tomorrow my parents’ best friends’ daughter is getting married. I had every intention of going to these celebrations. I got my hair cut and bought a dress that hides my weird postpartum figure and I can breastfeed in (a costuming challenge for sure!) The only caveat was the drive. Both ceremonies were over 2 hours away, which is over four hours of drive time, which is (unless we got lucky and he slept) approximately 3 feedings and 5 diaper changes, which expands the drive time to more like 6-7 hours. And after the night before last, we know nothing is a guarantee with him. Plus, I would probably get there and spend the entire ceremony sitting outside and breast feeding. Oh well, BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO LINZY AND THE THOMPSONS!
In other news, Logan had a successful court day (yay!) and I got my first morning of taking care of Elliot myself. I felt weird about leaving him sleeping in the bassinet while I showered and in the swing while I ate breakfast, but I suppose it was necessary. I played with him extra hard afterwards. I also got an app to track nursing and diapers, which I probably should have been doing from the beginning. Also, so far Baby Gas-X has been an amazing product!
Teresa came to visit Elliot and brought him some very cute clothes! She also took all those newborn diapers that we couldn’t use for one of her family members. Uncle Tom and Gabi also stopped by to see the baby and get their canoe. Now we are working on laundry between feedings.
Also, fun fact about Elliot: he hates dress-like pajamas. Every time we put him in them I end up having to hike them up to his diaper so he can move his legs freely. Aversion to cross dressing? I wonder how he will feel about kilts someday…
