Two weeks already!

Can't believe JJ is two weeks old today.

He has changed so much, it is like someone inflated his face and body.  His ears and nose have popped out, cord stump dropped off, forehead, cheeks and chin expanded, his limbs are straightening out (and getting stronger).  We just found out today that he is also packing on the pounds (well ounces, 12 of them in just 6 days!).  I know E has gained a sense of validation from that, all those feeds and disrupted sleep now have a physical value, a number (and being somewhat of a geek, yes, I have an Excel file keeping track of all of this).  JJ is clearly not suffering!  We both feel so happy and proud!  Maybe he's going to be a linebacker instead of a quarterback...

We are starting to get used to sleeping whenever JJ lets us and much more comfortable taking him out and about in the stroller and car.  We're just more comfortable doing everything, practice I guess.  Now we have to figure out how to entertain him when he isn't feeding or asleep...

Being back at work here and there hasn't been too bad, I'm busy so time flies.  Glad I'm phasing in going back to a 5 day week.  I really miss E and JJ in the day (and getting up around 9 instead of 6.45) but it is so good to come home to them and I'm so happy I get home by 5pm.  It is way better than my commute from Toronto to Milton, I can't imagine what this would be like if we were still living there.  No family close by and much longer days - a very good reason why we upped sticks.

On a random note, who writes Nursery Rhymes?  I'll have some of what they were on.  Seriously, they don't make sense.  I can't believe what I'm reading to JJ.  A vindictive gingerbread man running amok, a pig getting up early to throw acorns at a wolf, kittens getting dressed up for tea and cake, a puppy going on a picnic with a crocodile, hippo and monkey?  I might just start making my own stories up...

Two weeks already, wow!
