Weddings & 12 Weeks!

This past weekend I went out for the first time since Owen was born. I know, it's been 3 months but I just can't seem to leave him. I constantly wonder if he's going to wake up and be upset b/c I am not there...I am sure every mom can relate to this feeling. But Saturday was my night! Chris was so sweet to stay home with Owen while I went to my friends Dani & Andrew's wedding outside of Baltimore. I had a really good time and did a lot better than I thought with being away from Owen. Of course I checked in on him every hour. He and daddy had a fun night and he slept until 3am, which was nice for me since I was out until after midnight. It was so great to see everyone and especially Penny, Teenie and Crystal who I haven't seen in FOREVER!

Owen is 12 weeks...I can hardly believe it! He is such a fun little guy right now and loves attention! He will talk all day if you talk back to him. And if you don't pay attention, then he will talk really loud to get your attention. He loves to sit up and to be carried so he can see what's going on. He still likes to lay on the floor and kick and play but he is much happier sitting up.

He has grown so much! We had his weight checked to make sure his Zantac dose is correct and he's 13lbs 3ozs and 26 inches long....WHOA! He's going to be a tall little guy. We're having a hard time finding clothes to fit him right now. He's still in the 0-3month but they are getting too short. The 3 month and 3-6 fit length wise but are way too wide on him. Renee told me about extenders that snap on the bottom of the onesie to make it longer so we will definitely be buying some of those. But other good news, Owen's doctor thinks that he may be able to come off the Zantac soon so we're cutting down the dose and only giving it twice a day to see how he handles being off it. We're so excited b/c Owen HATES it! I don't blame him, it tastes horrible.

Owen starts school on Monday...I am not happy about this at all! I know, it's really daycare (I am sure my mom is laughing at me right now for calling it school). He will be at Minnieland Private Day School which, out of all the places we really liked it a lot. They really work with him on developmental aspects so he's not just sitting there all day. We went 2 weeks ago and met with the director and then went on Friday to meet his teacher and observe the infant room. I have to say that both days went really well and I only teared up once. His teacher, Miss Katie seems really nice and she was soo understanding that I was having a hard time letting go. One good thing, well I think so anyway, is that she had long blonde hair and the same skin tone as me so maybe she will look familiar to O. I always thought I would be happy to go back to work but I can totally see how moms end up staying home. I have cried every day this week :( Just the thought of not spending my days with my little guy make me so sad. I am happy to get back on a schedule but I just wish he was closer so that I could pop in during the day and check on him. Thank goodness I will be working 1/2 days the first week back so hopefully that will help us both get used to Owen going to school. I'll let you know how it goes...pray for strength for me...I will sure need it!
