January 04, 2002 Ahh...what an awful cold I got. =( I'm hoping I don't pass it off on Dominic. The poor fella doesn't need a cold. Jamie is being a doll though, he gets up with Dominic in the night and brings him over to the bed. I have no idea what I would do without him, I would be lost without them. It's so weird to think of us as a mother and father. I looked in the mirror with Dominic and it just didn't look right, maybe because I'm too young to have a baby...well at least that's what I think. But, hey I don't care if we don't look right...I love him to death and I would never go back and change what happened, now that I have him. Speaking of Dominic he's sound asleep in his car seat...he loves to sleep in it, probably because it feels like he's being held. My mother had him for awhile last night and she couldn't settle him down. He didn't want to be held and he didn't want to feed...sometimes he just wants to be left alone and play with his kick n' play piano and watch his mobile. Watch out if you got to change him and he wants to stay in his crib and watch his mobile...he'll nearly take your face off with his little sharp nails. Jamie picked him up once and he had no shirt on and Dominic was so rough with his chest that Jamie had to put him down and get a shirt on. I'm trying to get back down to my pre-preg state...I'm getting there...the day that I gave birth (Dominic still in belly) I weighed 182 pounds, when I came back from the hospital, 3 days later, I weighed 162 pounds and now I weigh 152. So that's not all that bad, but I wish I could fit into at least one pair of my jeans...damn it. lol I think I'll go to the store tomorrow and buy a pair...I just can't stand being outta jeans. I even wore materiny jeans when I was pregnant but I gave them to my cuz who is now pregnant...and due in June.

OoO my, I gotta go pop some pills or something gesh on this cold.

January 07, 2002 I'm trying to update this every chance that I get, but that's not to often. I got him on my lap now and he's just watching me type. lol It's so cute. I have to start video taping him before he gets too big. Man I really didn't realize how fast babies grow! My mother is always going on about how babies aren't babies anymore. It's just the fact that in the older days they had them buddled up so tight, because they were scared that they would get cold, that it was hard for them to grow. Even in the hospital I didn't keep him buddled up...just the blanket on him...but not buddled up tight. He really didn't like. He likes to be able to move around. This morning when I woke up, well I woke up to coo's and another noises. I went over to the crib and he was smiling to beat the band. He wasn't even that interested in eating, he just wanted to play. The night before he slept for 7 hours straight...I know you are suppose to wake them up every 4 hours to feed, but I wasn't going to wake the poor fella up, he was having a good sleep. He drank 7ozs before he went to bed. Well Dominic is having a fit, so I have to get off. Hugs.

January 18, 2002 I haven't updated in awhile but I'm not too worried about that...I'm kinda getting sick of it anyways. I think I'm soon giving it up. I just don't get the time for it. Well there is some news...me and Jamie is moving out of my mothers home in April. We got ourselfs our own house. Really nice home, there's an upstairs, which I always wanted, and a basement, which Jamie always wanted. It's right in town so I'll have no worries about getting to the store and stuff...I can just walk there sense we don't have a car at the moment. Dominic will have his own room I don't know how he'll like that were he's so used to us being in the same room. Plus sometimes he sleeps with us, which we can do when we move too. But I rather him get used to sleep by himself. I ordered a swing for him and it came in today. He doesn't like it too much right now but he'll get used to it after awhile. I'll put him in it everyday for alittle bit. I think it scares him. He'll look at me then look at Jamie then start to cry. He went for his first needle wednesday. Ouch! He didn't mind it that much he cried like all babies do, but he settled down after me and Jamie calmed him down. He didn't like being in that waiting room either for 2 hours. I had to walk him around the hospital for most of it. He has to go for his next one March 12. I got some new pictures of him today, but didn't get a chance to scan them...I'm lucky if I have time to shower and eat in the day time because Dominic won't sleep in the daytime...he wants to play and tries to stay awake and then gets cranky and I can't get him to sleep or get him to calm down sometimes. Oh my I can't believe that Dominic is already 8 weeks, soon to be 9. Time flies! He was supposed to go to the doctor Wednesday with me for our 6 week check up (2 weeks late!) But it was storming so I just went. I don't mind getting myself hurt but I wouldn't chance him getting hurt. We had 30cm of snow that night and the road were snow covered that morning. So I have to get him another appointment. There's two doc's down here and they take turns and there's no way I'm sending him to the other one. When I went to him when I first found out I was pregnant he told me about the morning after pill and then had the nerve to look at me right hard and say "But your I little late for that!" I felt shitty enough that I was pregnant at 18, and not married. The doctor I go to now was so supportive, telling me congrats...he's an awesome doctor. Well I better get off and get something to eat since Jamie got Dominic asleep...I'm starving! Hugs!
