Another week

It has been a week since I last wrote in this blog, though it doesn't seem like a week has gone by already.

Dylan is now 8 weeks old and is still a very good baby overall. Though he does have his moments of being inconsolable. The pacifier definitely helps at these times, though I'm a little ambivalent about having another kid totally hooked on the binky. My friend Seble at work mentioned that her niece who is 9 yrs old, still sucks her thumb. So I guess if I had to chose, I would rather try to break the pacifier habit than the thumb sucking habit.

I went to coffee tonight with Stacey and of course brought Dylan along since he is somewhat unpredictable about settling down for the night. He was asleep when we left, woke up briefly when we first arrived at Coffee Society and then went back to sleep and didn't stir the whole time we were there. Don't know how long I will be able to drag him along to stuff at night in his carseat but so far it works.

On Sunday I finally got around to giving Dylan a bottle. Both Gina and Andrew never took a bottle well and with each, I had to eventually use a soft spout on the bottle to get them to take it. But Dylan sucked down 4 oz without any problem. Hopefully he will continue to take the bottle; it will make going back to work so much easier. The problem of course is pumping. It takes forever for me to get a few ounces of milk. I may end up renting a hospital pump for a while to see if I can get more that way.
