Transition
Today is the first day without Jess here at home with Canon and I. Canon and I have been so blessed to have Jess/Daddy home with us for the past 5 weeks. Jess's work gives 5 weeks of paternity leave (paid). It has been such a blessing to have him home, he has been such a great help and I honestly don't know what I would have done if hadn't been home. We don't have any family any where close to us, so we're on our own. This morning when Canon woke up for his first feeding for the day I got a little nervous, knowing that it's just the two of us, but it has gone well so far. I have managed to take a shower and eat breakfast and it is only 10:30 a.m. Canon is snoozing away, which is odd because he hates morning naps, but I am thrilled that he is sleeping!!
Canon is 5 weeks old today, gee time flies. Canon is really starting to be more interactive. He really focuses in on Jess and I and we just love all the cute faces he makes at us. He is smiling now and it just melts our heart every time. He is really grabbing on to us when we pick him up and hold him. He really likes to pull momma's hair (I was going to grow my hair out, but I am not so sure anymore). Canon is in size 1 diapers (has been for a week or so) and is wearing mostly 0-3 clothes. Canon really likes to be held now. When we first came home and for the first 3 weeks or so, he didn't like to be held too much. I think he was just really uncomfortable because his stomach was hurting (well come to think of it he really didn't like anything too much), but now he just wants to be where you are and wants to be in your arms. My bestfriend from back home got me a moby wrap as a gift, so we tried that out yesterday since he wants to be held all the time and you know when you are holding a baby you can not do too much but sit or stand. So anyway he loved it. I just put him in the wrap and off we went around the house and he just slept the whole time or just looked around. I was able to take out the trash, put laundry away, switch laundry out, put away the dishes, and finish dinner. So needless to say the moby is now my bestfriend. We also have a bjorn, but haven't tried it out yet. I am sure he will love that has well! So thats the update on Canon.
Here is a picture of Canon in the moby wrap!
Such a sweet smile!
We decided we are going to fly home for Christmas instead of drive. I am really nervous about flying with an infant, so if anyone has any advice on how to pack and what to take on the plane, ect. please let me know!
Love,
Rachel
