We had our first full-day home with Noah. He was really sweet and pretty easy to handle. I was pretty nervous last night with feeding him and changing him because he is so small. So, Erin got up with both times last night. I got up early with Mihalea and fed her breakfast. As we were walking to the bathtub for her morning bath, I heard Noah awake in his room. I went in and got him up, changed his diaper and changed his clothes. Woah. It was...nerve-wracking. I was so afraid I was going to snap him in two.
After successfully changing him, I went and fed him. I struggled through the first ounce, but discovered a great technique that worked well for both of us for his second ounce. He went back to sleep and I bathed Mihaela.
Erin woke up and I made breakfast for us. Then, Erin went out to pick up some stuff that we needed for him while I stayed home and took care of both children. It was pretty uneventful. I was able to juggle both children's needs...although I was very tired when Erin came home. The only incident occurred when, immediately after changing Noah's diaper, I needed to change Mihaela's. So, I picked him and walked into Mihaela's room and she waddled behind me. Well, I needed two hands to take care of Mihaela, so I did the only logical (in my mind) thing and I put Noah in Mihaela's crib. BIG MISTAKE!!! She went ballistic. Crying, screaming, pointing at her crib. It was a tough diaper change. Afterwards, I took him out of her bed and we all just sat on the big chair. I loved on her and reassured her that her bed was her's.
Anyway, tomorrow it is back to work and Erin is on her own during the day. After my little 3 hour stint, I know that she is in for an adventure.
