My Booger Bear

I've found myself coming up with these cute little names for Dade.  By far the cutest that I've come up with is "Booger Bear."  I'm not sure why, but it's just so darn cute! Last night was an awesome night.  Dade slept for most of the night.  Clint took care of him from the time he got home from class (about 10pm) until 2 or so.  I think he slept some during that time, but it allowed me to get some sleep.  I passed out once I hit the bed.  I woke up about 2:30, and Clint looked like he was about to pass out as well.  I took over, and Clint hit the bed and went to sleep.  Dade was really tired, and he slept in his pack-n-play from 2:30 until about 8 or so. He woke up around 4:30, and I changed his diaper.  I thought maybe he was hungry, but he was still so tired that he feel back asleep while I was trying to feed him.  His sleeping schedule  varies.  Monday night he slept in hour intervals, which led to a long night for me, but last night it was wonderful, because Clint and I got to get a good nights sleep.

We gave Dade a sponge bath today.  It was the first time we have given him a bath.  The hospital gave him one after he was born. Amy was here, so she took pictures. Poor little guy was cold and scared during the whole thing.  He cried while we were washing him up.  Once we got him wrapped in his hooded towel, he was peachy.  I think he really enjoyed having his hair washed.  He actually was trying to grin at us during that part of the bath. I fully expected him to pee/poop during bath time, but he surprised me.  He didn't. Clint picked out his outfit today. I bought a bunch of newborn outfits the other day at wal-mart. I know that he's going to grow out of the quickly, but he is slightly too small for the 0-3 month outfits.  I say in another week or so, he'll be wearing them.

His umbilical cord looks like it's about to fall off.  The doctor on Monday told us what to look for, and what not to freak out about.  I really like the pediatrician's office that we picked out.  I was nervous about finding one, because we didn't know where to go, but mom's boss helped us out and talked to one of her friends that lives up here. Our ped's office has urgent care everyday, which is nice because our urgent care co-pay is only $30, vs. the $100 ER co-pay.

I'll be uploading the pictures from our sponge bath today to my gmail account sometime today.  I'll post a link to the albums in a different post.

Time to hold my booger bear!
