Mar 26
Got up this morning and changed Martyn, right after I fed him...around 7:30. He's so funny, when he's getting his diaper changed now, he's just happy as can be once you get the dirty diaper off. What a cutie! I brought him back to bed and put him between Eli and I, on his back. He was all smiles and wide eyes. He kept looking back and forth between us.
What a special moment. My family. All together. I am a blessed woman.
After laying in bed with my two fellows for a while, Eli got up and took the baby in the living room and let me go back to sleep for a little while until Martyn got hungry again. He brought Martyn back to bed with me, and I stayed in bed with my boy for another hour and half. What a great way to start the morning!
I brought Martyn out and nursed him, and put him back to sleep in the bassinet for a couple hours. I think he's sleeping off the sick....I'm doing the best for him I can, breast milk and lots of sleep is the way to fight sick. He's pretty well protected by the breast milk. He seems to be feeling ok today, just stuffy. Actually he's been really happy today in his awake time.
Grammie-Mary Jane and Grampa Walt came over today for a bit to visit us and the boy, and to go to Costco. They too were surprised how much Martyn has grown in just a few weeks. He really is a big boy now.
When we all got home, Eli made tacos and we watched a movie. Martyn sat with Eli nearly the whole movie and just looked at him, and chatted him all up. It was so cute! He loves his daddy, and that's so fun to see.
The last three nights since I've been home, I've been trying to put him to bed in our bed, for a little while before we come to bed. So far it's been successful. I lay down with him and nurse him to sleep basically....or do that and then give him the pacifier until he's all the way asleep. That way I have a few minutes before bed, to myself. We'll see how that works tonight though. Eli will be sleeping downstairs with us for the first time on a work night, in a while. I hope Martyn sleeps well, so daddy can sleep well, because he has to get up early in the morning and work a long long day.
I'm looking to find myself a stroller tomorrow or in the next few days...hopefully that goes well. It's been nice-ish the last couple days....rain and sun off and on....I'm glad it's spring and the weather is hinting at being nicer. I'm looking forward to it being nice enough to bring the boy out in the yard, while I do some gardening....starting with rebuilding the planter boxes in back. We have a couple spots of prime real estate for planting...should be interesting. After being at moms house and having fresh food from the garden in every meal practically, I'm seriously looking forward to getting our garden going this year.
I think it will be fun to teach Martyn about the garden when he's a little bigger. That's something I hope to help him learn early on, and stick with it, that food from the garden is wonderful and tasty and good for you, and you just feel better when you eat it.
So tonight also when we got home from the store one of my tasks was to pee on a stick, to make sure I was not pregnant....yeah, we're good. Eli wanted me to show him, just to make sure, ha! I noted that this time, as compared to last time I took a pregnancy test, it took much longer to give me any results. When I found out I was pregnant with Martyn, it was like 30 seconds or less before it said "pregnant"...This time was about two minutes before it said "not pregnant"... I knew it! Though I was still glad to see that.
