In 2006 I embarked on a new adventure...becoming a mom. This blog is about the pregnancy, aspects of life afterward, starting my life in a new role as mommy...and anything else in between.

So today is my and Naveen's first day alone together because Chris went back to work today. Naveen and I really miss him. The good thing is that we've established somewhat of a routine. The best part of it entails dancing with Ellen Degeneres at 4pm. Naveen naps from about 3-4pm and then it's feeding time. Right after we dance with Ellen at 4pm, we sit down and I feed him his bottle. It's pretty fun. After eating he's in a good mood and we play. He falls asleep around 6pm and then wakes up at 7pm because it's his feeding time again. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it turns out Naveen lost 8oz. That's not good and apparently it's because Chris and I were not feeding him often enough. We didn't want him to eat too much because he tends to spit up if he gets too full, which is really scary because he gags. The doctor understood our concerns but said he needs to gain the weight back by next week. So we are feeding him more and more often. This whole feeding thing is a huge challenge, whether you go with breastfeeding, formula, or a combination like we're doing. I've never worried about something or someone so much in my life. For the most part though, I guess you could say things are going pretty well. I'm going to have the hardest time going back to work...I don't even want to think about it.

Naveen's Christmas stocking came today. I ordered it from Pottery Barn Kids and had it personalized with his name. It's totally cute. It's a big quilted stocking with a choo choo train on it. Chris and I are slowly getting the house ready for Christmas because my family is coming over to our house this year. I'm really excited for it because Naveen is here and it's going to be his first Christmas. We're going to take tons of pictures!

That's about it for today...
