I took Deagan to the pediatrician today for his weight check. He was 5lb. 15oz. at birth, 5lb. 8oz. at his first pediatric visit, and now he's 6lb. 5oz! So he gained almost a pound in one week. The nurse said that that was wonderful and he must be getting enough to eat, which was something I was concerned about. I wasn't sure if I was making enough milk to satisfy him. But apparently I'm doing pretty good.
Being a mom is so different than I thought it would be... I didn't realize that I would spend half of my day kissing my son and just looking at him. Memorizing all of his faces and what they mean. Everything I do, I do with him in mind. I can't even imagine life without him anymore. Time flies by SOOO fast with a newborn! I don't want these next 4 weeks to fly by that fast, I can't imagine waking up and taking him to daycare. I know that's what I'll have to do soon, but I don't wanna!! Lol.
It was Bobby's first day back at work since April 2nd, when I went to the hospital. I know leaving this morning was hard. He kissed us goodbye but I know he wanted to crawl back in bed with us. His employees surprised him with decorating the breakroom and store with balloons and baby decor. They had a sign coming in the doors with Bobby and Deagan's picture with Deagan's name, weight and birthday. It was really sweet of them. Oh and Bobby got me a little refrigerator so I don't have to keep going downstairs to get/store milk. Yay!
