Today is an exciting day! We're going to try to give Maxwell a bottle for the first time. I don't know why he wouldn't take it, and once he does that means I can start having Joe feed him sometimes, which will be awesome! I figure I should probably still wake up in the middle of the night and pump when Joe feeds him then, because otherwise I might explode in a milky mess, but that only takes like 15 mins, as opposed to the hour or so that it takes to feed him (the actual feeding part only takes 15 mins, but first I have to wake him up, change his diaper, convince him to please, for the love of God, OPEN YOUR MOUTH BABY!!!!, and then work up enough energy to carry him back to our room to go bed (which usually takes at least 10 mins, although at least by then he's pretty well passed out)). So we'll see how it goes.
We bought a swing yesterday. I think he likes it? He's still too young to smile, so it can be hard to tell when he's happy. He was calm though, which I guess works. He still didn't really look at the mobile, which surprised us. His most favorite thing ever is the ceiling fan. It doesn't even have to be on. When he gets fussy we can usually just lay him on his back underneath it and once he catches sight of it he'll just stop, totally transfixed, and stare at it like it's the most amazing thing he's ever seen. I can't wait until he's old enough to start actually playing though. I want to see him smile and hear him laugh and all that fun stuff!
Muna left a couple days ago. She was only here for a few days, but it was really nice. I honestly didn't think having another person here would make that much of a difference, since I'm the only one who can feed him (although that might change after today!), and he eats every hour-2 hours during the day, but it was actually pretty great. He was the most cranky, crying, screamy baby we'd seen yet the first day she was here though. I kinda felt bad... I swear, he's not normally that bad! Normally he's totally happy during the day, and then gets cranky in the evening, which just requires that we give him a lot more attention (which does make cooking and eating a little tricky), and then has a little freak out right before bed, but that first day she was here, he would not stop crying. Ugh. We did almost manage to successfully go out to eat though! It probably would've been completely successful if the place we went to wasn't sooooo slow. After waiting 15 mins for our drinks, I told them to go ahead and bring our food out to go, which was a good idea. He was pretty starving by the time it came. The food was good though.
I think I say "though" and "which" too much on here. Maybe I'll work on that.... It's probably more fun to read a blog that's written better. I mean, I know I'm just to incredibly fascinating that you'll want to read about my life regardless of how poorly written it is, but just think of how much better it'd be if it was actually well written! That'd be even more amazing than a ceiling fan!
