| From Trey - 1st Month |
New stats:
- 7lbs 10.3 oz -- At 2 weeks old, Trey is past his birth weight, yeah!!!!
- Holds head up for at 5-10 seconds at a time
- Has a good strong kick against our legs
- Currently is going through a pretty heavy gassy state -- Mama Z is laying off the vitamins, hoping this will help
- Sleeps up to 5-6 hours at a time, AND it is in the evening. Usually around 9pm-3am. We would love to shift this time frame just a little more to the late evening, but so far it does not seem to work. The latest Trey has woke up is at 3:30am, so we head off to bed early these days to catch some well deserved shut eye.
Other news:
Gus went back to work on Monday -- he loves his new job at Agilent, and welcomed the change of pace, even though he is a little sleep deprived. Nana and Papa traveled back to Texas this past Weds. Nana was a HUGE help with cooking, cleaning, and laundry, but most importantly Zane loved the attention from both of them. Dianna liked watching Price is Right with Papa, an old childhood favorite. (Even if Drew Carey is not as good as a host as Bob Barker. It still is a pretty fun show to watch.)
Mama Z is on her own at home for the first time since Trey's birth. For at least a few more weeks, Zane will still go to daycare during the day, so I can get adjusted and spend some quality time with Trey. We have a music/dancing session every day, and I am currently trying to get new songs for our repertoire. So far I have a few Nat King Cole songs including "L-O-V-E", "You are so Beautiful" by Joe Cocker, and Diana Ross' "If We Hold on Together". If you have some other suggestions, please pass them along. I am trying to find a good acoustic version of "Sweet Child O' Mine", but they all pale in comparison to the actual Guns and Roses version.

Other than that, yesterday was the first attempt to take both boys to the grocery store. It was a success! This is no minor feat, so I am pretty proud. The highlight, was getting Zane to hop on my knee as I lifted it up for him to crawl into the shopping cart (Mama Z can not lift Zane yet, due to my c-section). Trey was then comfortably placed in his sling, and off we went. Also, it is amazing how many strangers randomly talk to you when you have a little baby (young, old, men and women). It is actually sweet, children really do make the world a happy place.

After shopping, I even made it home in time to make dinner. Of course I was heating up a prepared casserole that Nana made and frozen, but that counts right? OK, so we have a few things to work on... including trying the get a yoga session in during the day. So how do we spend the majority of our hours? You guessed it, feeding. Then a little laundry, shower, dance and reading time, a small nap and lunch for Mama, and maybe one outing - like shopping, doctor's visit, or a walk. That is my day, 9 hours escape that quickly. Then we are off to pick up Zane and have some brother time. Good times for all!
Much love,
Dianna
