behind on blogging

For obvious reasons I have fallen behind on updating.  I will get better once I find my grove.  Today we are nursing a sick baby and it's taking all of our time.  Poor guy has a really bad cold.  Really bad colds in babies under 1 month are more serious than you think.  Yuck.  Hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter... if it's supposed to last 10 days or so... we are at day 3....

Think good thoughts for the dude, ok?

Thanks.

Happy 3 week birthday G-dude!

G spent his 3rd week birthday rockin' it out ala Bono

attachment update

OK... so it wasn't so bad... having the dude sleep in his own room... he is handling it like a champ... it's his mom who's a big baby. I'm better about it too... mainly because I think he likes it better than being in the living room... even little people need some peace and quiet once in awhile... especially when trying to nap.

I have an attachment disorder

OK... so since Gman has been home from the hospital, he has been with me 99.99% of the time, including at night when he is sleeping in his cradle near me. That .01 % that he wasn't with me was when I ran to Target to pick up a last minute V-day card for my dad and husband to be given from Gman... I about cried the whole time I was gone and was for sure having an anxiety attack the whole time I was away. I survived it... I think I was gone maybe 23 minutes.

So... back to the point that he has been with me day in and day out... well... for the first time ever I have put him in his crib for a nap... in his giant, lonely crib... IN.THE.OTHER.ROOM... and I am sitting in my room... which is NOT in his room... ALL.BY.MYSELF... without the Gman... and I am freaked out by it... only because I feel like he might not feel secure in that giant bed... all by himself... he did just come out of a place that is about 1 square foot in size and I put him out in that huge open space to fend for himself... OMG!!! I'm horrible!

Tony is of course laughing at me about the whole thing... he doesn't GET IT!!!

When did you parents put your kids into their cribs to sleep for the first time?? Is this too soon?

p.s. I am, of course, totally glued to the baby monitor (which has video)... it's just NOT THE SAME!
