I have been wanting to write all week long, but its just been too hectic with going back to work and all. Its been one tough week going back and work and getting up with Boston in the night. I would get very little sleep each night which made functioning very difficult. But its amazing what a couple extra hours, sleeping in until 9 on the weekend, can do to make you feel human again.
Boston spent his first week with his daddy during the day while I worked. Peter may have been a bit nervous but he did an AMAZING job. The first day I came home from work expecting to rush in and have the baby waiting for me, but it was not the case. He was sound asleep in bed and Peter was in the kitchen making dinner. It was a site for sore eyes. It was rather nice to enjoy each other company and eat dinner without having to take turns eating, which we have to do a lot.
Boston is now 2 months old today. I cannot believe how time has gone so slow on one hand, and then just flown by on the other. I wish there was a way I could halt time and just keep him small. But I am sure I will enjoy all the other stages in life he has yet to reach. He is cooing a lot these days. Its so cute when hes in a good mood and will just sit there and chatter away. I wish I could have more moments like that. He does still have reflux, constipation and colic so he has a lot of moments where he just cries and cries. Its sad to see, but my pediatrician says that he will grow out of it and since he is eating well and gaining weight that he isn't worried. He isn't the best sleeper, not even for naps, so I am hoping that is a skill he will pick up soon.
Despite the lack of sleep and the crying I am still loving every minute of every day that I am with him. He brings so much joy to my life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am looking forward to more fun times in store.

New Blog
I am terrible at keeping my journal updated and I wanted a way to remember all the happenings of our lives and decided that I used to be great at blogging once upon a time, so why not take up the old habit again.
Boston is now 7 weeks and 5 days old. He was seen at the pediatrician yesterday and is now 11lbs and 22 inches long. He is growing every day and I have noticed that this week he has really started taking an interest in looking at things. He has a sort of mobile on his swing, and while he will only stay in his swing for about 5 minutes, he is usually staring at the hanging giraffe and elephant the whole time. We bought him 2 little toys to dangle off of his car seat today so we will see if those catch his eye.
Peter has figured out that the only kind of music that Boston will remain mostly calm for in the car is classical music. Its not fool proof, but it sure does seem to help. Funny thing is, he doesn't like any and all classical, he seems to prefer the wind instruments. When its just stringed instruments he starts crying again. Funny thing is, I have never listened to classical music while I was pregnant with him so I don't know where he learned to like it, but maybe it will make him super smart. One can hope right.
I go back to work on Monday and there are not words to describe how much I don't want to go. I know that I am leaving Boston in the capable hands of his dad, but I don't want to leave him. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past 8 weeks with him. Yes it has been very hard, with him not sleeping much, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love being a mom to Boston and I am not looking forward to leaving him behind. This is the one point that I wish I could just put him back inside so that I could take him to work with me, like the "old" days.
