Well today Sam is officially four weeks old. He will be one month old on Saturday. I can't believe that this time has gone by so fast already and I feel like my return to work date is just rushing at me! I am not ready to go back to work and in four weeks I doubt I will be ready yet... but I know that I need to help provide for my family and pull my own weight too, I've just so enjoyed being able to spend so much time with my little man... the only thing that makes going back to work a little easier is that I have family helping to watch Sam, so I know that he will be in good hands.
In the last four weeks he has changed sooo much, he is starting to pay more attention to his surroundings and focus more on the things and people around him. I'm so anxious for that first smile... Another thing that makes life easier is that he is officially off of the oxygen. I cried when they called and told me that, and even though we were out at the store, the first thing I did when I got off the phone is take that stupid thing off his face. He is definitely happier now and taking him places is no longer the hassle that it once was. I'm just a tad nervous at night when he's going to sleep but I say a little prayer (after checking his breathing about 20 times.) asking God to watch over him through the night... it helps me sleep easier. I'm not sure yet, but if at the end of the week I'm feeling more comfortable and we don't seem to have any issues, I'm thinking of putting him in his own bedroom... though I want to ease him into it, so I think I'm going to try putting him in there for naps first so he can get used to the big bed instead of his bassinette. I'm going to start this tomorrow and see how he does...
We also got his first set of pictures taken today and he was absolutely ADORABLE and awake the whole time which I am happy about. I haven't gotten access to the online webpage yet but when I do I'll make sure to post them on Facebook.
Other than that, not much else going on, we're just one happy happy family and I am absolutely loving my new role as Mommy.
