Week 6

Dear Conor,

Week 6 started out with two major events in your little life.  I had to go back to work for more than just an hour.  I was so sad to leave you.  It was a very difficult thing.  I had to make sure that I left you enough milk (I left you three 2.5oz bottles) and that everything was out and ready for your Dad.  He knew that I was having a hard time leaving and so he sent me a picture of the two of you hanging out.

You and Dad on your first true day without Mom!

I left the house around 8:45am and didn't get home from Court until 12:30pm.  I worked hard while I was at Court but I wanted to get back to you every second that I was away.  Conor, Mommy loves loves loves her job but she loves loves loves you too!  It is very hard to be away from you when you are still so little.  But, I have to say - your Daddy did a great job taking care of you.  When I came home you were sleeping in your swing and you had finished 1 bottle and had started on the second.  Your diaper had been changed a few times and the house was even in one piece! :)

After I got home we had a little playtime on the floor with Hunter.  He still doesn't seem to be truly aware that you are present in the house (or he doesn't care) as he often walks right over your little legs or sits down almost on top of you (but still very careful not to sit ON you).  When you are on the floor Hunter loves to roll all over your blankets and stick his little nose in your toys.

We decided to go and visit your GG Irene later in the afternoon and when I was putting you in your carseat I noticed that the straps seemed to be much further below your shoulders than appropriate.  While we were visiting GG Irene I looked up the instructions on my phone and before we left the Newton Center I moved your straps up!  You are such a growing boy!

While visiting GG Irene you were once again the talk of the Center!  You brought so many smiles to all the ladies that are there getting better so that they can return to their families.  We took GG to the cafeteria so she could listen to the Irish performer.  You were a little fussy to I rocked you to sleep in the hallway to the sounds of Danny Boy.  But, you didn't sleep long and GG was getting tired so we walked her back to her room and said our good-byes.  She would be going home in just 2 days so this was our last visit to the center.

It was a busy day for all of us and we ended up going up to bed a little earlier than normal which you were very content to do.  It was a good day Conor - a day that begin with a tough task and one that ended with an easy one - tucking you into bed.

xoxo
Mom
