All about Dylan

Todays blog will be all about Dylan...which if I had to guess most of the future blogs will be all about Dylan...Well Dylan has proven not to be the absolute perfect baby after all...he had a good 2 hour stint of off and on crying last night...I guess we are all human after all...it really is a awful feeling not knowing what is wrong and how to console him...after this initially stint he settled down for the rest of the night and has been back to his perfect self today....we are thinking we need to do a better job burping him after he it done eating...the first day or two he was getting colostrum now with my milk in we think he needs a little more help being burped than before....I also managed to go to work today...every Tuesday we have a morning office meeting...unfortunately I did not make the tour of homes but was glad to know that we could figure out how to get me away from Dylan for 2 hours without him crying...it was good....I initially was going to have a bottle for him of breastmilk that I had pumped but we decided against this...and really want to wait 3 to 4 weeks before we introduced breastmilk in a bottle for him....which will work ok....with open houses usually 1 and a half hours and office time at 2 hours I still should be able to be productive at work with clients and do the rest of my work from home or office with Dylan with me....this very moment is the first time that Dylan has not been held by somebody...a person...he is actually swinging in his swing and is sound asleep....Dylan also had his 2nd doctors appointment today...and has gained back all of his original weight he lost after delivery....he has gained 8 ounces in 4 days...that's my boy!!!!!!!! unfortunately he also has a closed eye duct that is slightly infected so we were prescribed some eye drops...and will have to keep a close watch to make sure that it doesn't get any worse.....sorry for such a rambling blog...but I am on borrowed time.....Dylan will be waking any moment and will be very hungry.....tomorrow I am back to work again for 2 hours...so we will see how that goes....wish us luck tonight..........and a good night sleep for Dylan with only sweet dreams and no crying........
