Eleven Day Update
May 27, 2008
Ellis is eleven days old today and I'm just starting to feel like time is passing much too quickly. My body is already adjusted to waking every two and a half to three hours, Caroline barely notices when he cries anymore, and Chris has just five more days of the sixteen he had until he goes back to work. His time off has been great. From the second day we were home, we've been out and about having fun together. We started off just taking trips down the road to the McDonald's play place so Caroline could get her energy out, and we've since been to my Mom's, Gigi and Papa's, walking at the park, and even to the beach a couple of times. I can't believe June is just next week. I'm hoping to continue our regular fun outings when Chris goes back to work, even if it's just going to sit on a blanket at the park with some snacks and a ball to keep Caroline occupied, so we can all get some fresh air and enjoy the nice weather.
Ellis is doing great. He spends the majority of the days and nights sleeping, besides the many times he wakes up to nurse, but there's usually a good few hours of the morning when he's awake. With Chris home, I've been spending the majority of my time holding him and giving him as much attention as possible while Chris plays trucks with or helps with Caroline, which has been nice. Every night I've been going to bed around 8 or 8:30 to hold and stare at Ellis' little face or rub his back while he lays on my chest sleeping. I'm thinking when it's just me and the two kids and I'm unable to spend so much one on one time with the little guy, I'll keep our little nightly routine so we can be sure to get our bonding time in every day.
