Baby stuff

I still am in shock that OMG I HAVE A BABY. To say nothing of the whole how he got here drama. I just wasn't expecting him so soon!

He was 6 lbs and 10 oz. He had no preemie type issues (well, he was 36 weeks 4 days! So not that preemie!) and is nursing great. My milk came in and it is swollen and tender here. He sleeps well by himself in his cradle.

We were so unprepared for his birth! We had been planning to stock up the next couple weeks. We didn't even have the carseat. We ordered one but it had not arrived yet obviously. So [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] was super swell and loaned us hers. My husband and some buddies went shopping and spent tons of money stocking our house. Pat shopped more in two days than he ever has in his life, I swear. I was going to get all picky and such about what he bought and then I thought "Wendy, SHUT UP and let him do this." So I did and yk what he did a damn fine job for a guy who didn't know what a nursing bra was :-D.

all alone

From 4pm today until whenever Pat gets back from some outings, I've been all alone with CJ.

It's been total utter bliss.

I'm still finding it straaaaange to have a baby who will sleep in his crib, let alone without touching me. Strange to have a baby at all again. I think I truly got to a point where I was believing it wouldn't happen.

Pat and I stayed up and watched Penelope last night. We must have both been on emo drama queen mode because we *both* cried when The Message Of The Film happens. I of course being the more hormonal cried more. Also, that movie has an awesome soundtrack, must get it!
