Belly Button
The belly button fell off yesterday. It felt like a milestone since we can now give him a full bath and we can dress him in onesies now.
As of Thursday he is two weeks old. I can't say if the the time is flying by or standing still. This has been harder emotionally than I thought it would. Having to constantly take care of someone else is not something I'm used to. I don't eat that much (which is great for the figure) and obviously I don't sleep well. I have been able to shower every day which I wasn't sure would happen. I really miss my husband too. We don't get to spend any time together and he sleeps on the couch during the week in the hopes of getting some sleep for work.
I still don't think it has sunk in that this is my child and I'm not just watching him for someone else. I'm trying to get more comfortable with having a baby. I hardly leave the house and I don't feel like I have time for anything. My goal this week is to leave the house more and stop hiding inside. I'll end up depressed if I don't make an effort.
One thing he does to make me laugh is when he makes the most adorable faces when he has gas or poops. He has this satisfied smile that I'm still hoping to capture on film. I'm still mastering the art of keeping his penis covered when changing his diaper. So far he's peed on me quite a few times and even peed on his own head one time (it was pretty funny).
He's waking up so I have to go.

First six weeks is really tough - but it does get MUCH easier after that. At first you feel totally other-worldly and like you don't really know yourself or your life anymore (let alone this new little person!). But all that fades and everything becomes familiar again..... and then the fun really starts!
