First Outing Without Brody!

Tonight I am going to have my first outing away from Brody. I am really nervous!! One of my co-workers is leaving the company and she is in town today and tomorrow so we are going to have a going away dinner for her tonight. It will be really weird because I have not been away from him since he was born! Since I am such a control freak, I am sure I am going to micro-manage Ted before I leave to make sure he does everything the way I want him too. It is like Ted has never cared for a baby before, which of course he has!!! I know it is wrong, but I already know that I am going to do it so I guess I should apologize to Ted ahead of time!

Today, my mother-in-law, Brody and I went shopping so Grandma could buy him some presents! We bought some really cute outfits that I can't wait to see him in. We then went by my mom's work and showed him off to her co-workers. The last time I went by there, he was asleep the entire time...and guess what....same thing this time. I had just fed him before we went and he fell asleep before we left the restaurant. He did open his eyes just a peep but closed them soon after so they didn't really get to see him awake. They all complimented on how good he was and I told them..."Trust me...he does cry!"

Last night, he fell asleep around 9:45 and slept until 1:15 and then fell back asleep around 2:30 and slept until 5:45. I fed him in our room and laid him down in the boppy in our bed to take another nap. He slept from 6:15 until 8:45. He seems to not want to lay back down in the crib at the last feeding in the middle of the night. Not sure if he is done with the crib or what. He is on more of schedule now, which is such a relief!

Tonight, Ethan is going to spend the night and we are dropping him back off at his mother's tomorrow morning so they can go to the Karate tournament in Massachusetts tomorrow. I am going to try and get some pictures of Ted, Ethan and Brody together. I am going to post them tomorrow!
