New Experience!

Ok...I am assuming most of you moms out there have already experienced what I am about to write - but this was a first for me and I was in shock at first....then quite impressed!
I went in to see Ben at 5 last night and I change his diaper when I get there. Well he was a bit gassy so I kinda hold his little legs up and he gets it all out. Well I must have held him up a little high cause all of a sudden he had projectile poop across his entire issolette. I mean like a 2 foot shot and hit the plastic wall on the other side. It was so much poop that they had to actually get a new machine for him. Then when I finally get him to the non-poop side of the issolette and start to put on yet another diaper the little guy pees all over the place. I am just not quite fast enough with the pee-pee cover yet. I have been peed on before so that wasn't anything new but the other thing....that was incredible. Like I said - shocked at first then I was quite impressed with the little guy's power! :) (I know this was kinda gross but I found it so amusing)

He gained another ounce overnight. He is getting big fast (well to me anyway)...2 lbs 7 oz as of this morning. I think I also found a day care. I of course am not 100% in love with it but I think I will find something I don't like in each day care. I wish I could stay home with him but that is not gonna happen so I need to just deal with the fact that I wont like dropping him off each day but I am a good judge of character so I am sure he will be just find and I have to trust my instincts. Also, this day care is right next door to the police station and the fire station and there are nurses there all day. It is located about 3 miles from my house and 2 miles from my parents - right in between. So I am gonna sign him up and I figure worst case scenario it does not end up being a good fit and I look for another establishment.

Up next...Sarah (she and her boyfriend have been amazing helpers) is going to paint my bedroom. I think we are going to do it this weekend. Ben is going to be sleeping in his cradle in my room so I wanted to get it all nice before he comes home. I can't even out into words how incredible my Dad has been. He has refinished a bureau and a changing table, painted Ben's room, washed all the rugs in my place, stripped and repainted and re-puddied my windows, and been a huge emotional support. On top of all this he is trying to get ready to climb down and up the grand canyon. He leaves this Sunday and is gone for 3 weeks. Incredible huh! My Mom has been wonderful, too. I could not have been so prepared for Ben's arrival or had so much support during/after pregnancy with out my parents. I have always known I was lucky but even more so now.

My brother, Ryan, just graduated from Grad school in Denver - yeah for him! Miss him terribly and cant wait for him to meet Ben. He is planning a visit in July so that Ben will 100% be home and he can spend time with us. I am hoping he gets a job closer to me so he can be really involved with Ben but either way I know Ry will play a huge role Ben's life. I am so excited to see him!
