I’m officially back to work starting Monday at 8 am! Very bittersweet! I miss work and my job and talking to my co-workers but maternity leave sure has it’s perks too. We have hired a nanny that has spent some time with us over the past few weeks and will be coming here during the workday to watch Miles. I’m so lucky I’ll be near by for some Miles kisses and love when I take a quick break to grab some coffee, etc but for the most part I won’t see him all day. Mike is also staying home a few days next week to play Mr Mom. Maternity leave has told me that being a stay at home mom probably isn’t for me. (Not that its an option) I crave working on my work projects and the joy I get from my career.
So we’re planning on a relaxing weekend around Vermilion and celebrating Mike’s first Father’s Day!
Miles is one month old which is just crazy. Everyone has told us that time will fly and before you know it he wont be a little baby any more. This is so true. Anyways here are some random miles facts one month in to his life.
Miles is 8lbs 9oz. he is in the 25th percentile for his age
Miles is 19 inches. he is in the half percentile for his age
Miles has gone though 3 boxes and 1 pack of newborn diapers (about 350) . He is starting on his first box of 1’s
Miles favorite thing to sit in is his car seat besides on Kimi and I.
Miles hasn’t slept in our bed at all
Miles hasn’t slept at all. just kidding he will sleep for about 3 hours in his bed at a time
Miles is a milkaholic. he wants to be fed every 2 hours
Miles doesn’t know what to do with his hands like Ricky Bobby during an interview
Miles has pooped on me once
Miles favorite movie is Madagascar. I think he has watched a total of 5 minutes of it and me 86 minutes. The movie is 86 minutes long and we have watched it at least 5 or 6 times.
Miles could be the reason LeBron leaves Cleveland. The cavs went 1-4 in the playoffs after miles was born.
Last Night should of been the 3rd perfect game pitched in baseball since miles was born and there has only been 18 pitched before that ever
Today Miles and I had our first solo outing! I was so nervous but figured it would have to happen sooner or later. We went to Avon Lake and had lunch with Mike and then visited his office. It felt good to be out and about and Miles was on his best behavior too. We even made a quick stop at target on the way home too.
Mr. Miles is 11 days old! Time really does fly by. He’s growing so fast. We went to the breastfeeding support group at the hospital last night and he now weighs 7 Lbs! That’s 11 ounces gained in 3 days. Woo! What a relief to know that he’s getting plenty to eat.
Last night was by far the best sleep. He slept for almost 4 hours and then almost 3 hours. Amazing!
Grandma Kathy was also up yesterday for a visit and left this morning. It was nice to have some adult company!
Tonight will be my first test of being away from Miles. I am getting my hair done and will be gone for a few hours. I know Mike is more than capable to handle him on his own but I can’t help but be stressed. But, it will have to happen sooner or later.
We’re hoping that this yucky stormy weather leaves soon so we can get out of the house for our first walk. Hopefully this weekend! An hopefully next week I am brave enough to venture out with Miles to meet Mike for lunch.
Tomorrow Kristi & Sherri are coming to visit, yay!
Miles Lewis Fowler born May 3rd 2010 at 4:39 am. He is 19 inches, 6 lbs 5 oz. Everyone is happy, healthy and tired. He came 20 days early and after 36 hours of labor and nearly 3 hours of pushing.
Just got done watching taligadaga nights. Forgot how funny that movie is. The nurses even stopped and watched for a second laughing. Now I know Kimi and Miles are in good hands.
The delieveing doctor stopped in and checked her, almost 5 cm. They gave her potosan to get the contractions closer together. The window for miles birthday being one day afters Kimi is down to only 2 more hours.
