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 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.
Today Mike and I had our first date since the birth of Mr Miles. Grandma Margie and Christine were kind enough to babysit for us. We went to lunch and then to see Iron Man 2. It was nice to get outside our new little bubble for a few hours but I did find myself thinking about him most of the movie. But I definitely still enjoyed myself!
Miles was not very cooperative sleeping in his crib last night. That equals a very tired mommy and daddy. Mike and I had to take turns holding him all night. Let’s hope he goes back to sleeping well in his crib tonight! Prayers please!
It’s been so great having Mike home all weekend, I hate that tomorow is Monday and he has to go back to work. I am definitely learning to love the weekends more than ever now.
Other highlights from the weekend were my first miller lite since labor day, Miles first walk around the neighborhood, and my first hot dog since last summer.
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!
Ok I’m a few hours late but Happy mothers day! I am very lucky to have a great mom and mother-in-law.
Today we took Miles to the hospital to get his weight checked. During the visit we also got to do a feeding with the lactation consultant. Miles is back up to his birth weight… yay! She was very impressed with our progress and said he’s gonna be a chunker before we know it! She also warned us that he’ll
probably go through a growth spurt over the next 4-5 days so to be prepared for him to be very hungry. And unfortunately he definitely prefers to do all his power feeding at night.
We are very releived and happy he’s gaining weight! Keep it up Miles!
Tomorrow ( or technically today ) Mike goes back to work. I’m a little scared and nervous for him to be gone but I’m sure Miles and I will be just fine. Say a little prayer for us!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not totally naive… but… WOW this is exhausting!
Miles is doing good! We had a doctor appointment this morning and they said his color was better ( was a little yellow when we left the hospital ). He’s lost a few more ounces do were hoping mow that my milk is coming in he’ll be gaining very soon.
He’s been feeding every 90 minutes today which is kicking my butt. By the time I feed him, pass him off to Mike and pump for a few minutes inhave about 50 min before it’s time to do it again! Whew!
He’s also now pretty much refusing to sleep unless bring held so Mike and I aren’t getting much sleep at all. Please say a little prayer for us!
But I’m so in love with him. And with Mike who is doing a great job!
