Best baby...ever

Last night I came to the realization that Trip is probably the best baby ever. He was officially 8 weeks yesterday and he slept 8 hours in a row. Now, I don't want to jinx anything, but I've been thinking he was close to dropping the 2/3:00 feeding for a couple of nights now. He slept from 9:30 and didn't wake up again until 5:15. I fed him for 10 minutes, put him back down and slept until 8:00!!

Yesterday I took him walking with a friend at Brookwood mall and ended up doing most of my Christmas shopping the rest of the day. Trip did great. He slept the whole time and everyone commented on how obviously cute he is :) I tried to push the limits and stop by the office afterwards and he got fussy. Maybe I just wore him out and this 8 hour sleep is just temporary but my fingers are crossed! Either way, he has been in a great routine ever since Thanksgiving. He had that growth spurt last week but that only last two days and we were back to normal.

I can't get over how much I love him and how I'm going to HATE going back to work. I have talked with my boss about possibly working from home, but I'm not sure its a possibility. I've become quite comfortable on maternity leave. Plus, having him in October was perfect. Once I got past the first 4 weeks where I was going cross-eyed, the holidays showed up and I can get out and do shopping to avoid the crowds and its soooo much fun decorating for Christmas! Plus, since he's such a good sleeper, its easy to take him around for all the holiday festivities. If I go missing again...Merry Christmas!!!
