Three Weeks Old!

Today Tucker is three weeks old! Hard to believe it's gone by so fast and that I will have to go back to work in three weeks :( I hate to admit this but I think it was easier to go back to work after I had Hayden than it will be this time. Don't know if it's because there's a lot less stress this time around (not worrying about buying a house, selling a house or making sure a house is clean from top to bottom at a moment's notice!) or if it's because I've been able to spend so much time with BOTH boys!

At three weeks I think we've got a routine down. For the most part. He gets up between 7 and 8 and goes to bed around 10 or 10:30, only waking up once around 3! I have to admit, Tucker's been pretty easy so far. He eats and sleeps without a lot of trouble and doesn't scream for hours at a time! I really hope that this doesn't come back to haunt me when he gets older! The past couple of days Tucker has wanted to be held more. But I don't know if that's because he doesn't burp well and it makes him cranky or if he senses that someone else in the house needs to be taken care of too. Jason had his wisdom teeth out yesterday. He's doing very well, much better than anticipated! Only took the Lortab a couple of times before he switched to Ibuprofen. Plus he hasn't had a cigarette in almost two whole days! Very proud of him for that and hopefully he can quit altogether! I know it will be good for all of us if he does!

Hayden is still having trouble being consistent on the potty and it's becoming super frustrating. Today has been a three strike day. Strike one: this morning I woke him up and his bed was soaked - his pull-up was as full as it possibly could be - which meant his sheets had to get washed for the second day in a row. Strike two: picked Hayden up from daycare, hoping he was still in the same clothes I had dropped him off in. Success! But when I got to the playground the first thing he told me: I peed in my pants. Fail. His pants didn't look wet though so I felt the back of his pants. They definitely weren't wet but there was a giant lump in the back of them. Epic fail. Fortunately we had the diaper bag in the car (from the small exploration of the McPherson furniture scene we had taken with Tucker) so I didn't think it would be any big deal to just put a pull-up on him in the car. Wrong again. Not sure how long before I'd gotten to daycare that he'd pooped but it was all over his butt, down his thighs and surrounding his penis. How anyone, kiddo or not, can stand to have that all over like Hayden did I will never know! Strike three: after a quick bath when we got home (we ran out of baby wipes trying to clean him up at daycare so unfortunately the poor kid had to sit in a little poop until we could get home!) Jason put Hayden back into a pair of underwear and shorts. About 10 minutes after Jason left for Wichita (to look at a stereo he was all excited about - something I will NEVER understand!) Hayden peed his pants again! Maybe one of these days he'll get it...
