Update on Mommyhood

Okay I know that I haven't written in forever. Oooops! I didn't have the internet at my house for awhile, and now I do so I can start writing again. Anyhow, I am having a grand time with Axton! Being a Mom is even better than I could have ever imagined!! I am enjoying all the time I am spending with Cody and Axton! Cody has been home with me the entire time I have been out on maternity leave because he dislocated his elbow a week before Axton was born and can't return to work until March 8th. I figured out the other day that I can stay on maternity leave until June 1st if I wanted to. Of course I want to! My dad has some stuff for me to do at home for work so I can put in some hours here and there which will be nice! I am ready to start wearing my old clothes now, but my body isn't...which is upsetting. Why can't you just push out a baby and your body be back to the way it was before you were pregnant? Ugh! Even if my body does get back to the way it was someday, the stretch marks will still remain. Bumma dude. It is all worth it though for my little buddy. I can not believe that Axton will already be one month old on Sunday. Time is going by so fast already!!!!!! Here are some things that I have learned about my son:
1. He has his days and nights mixed up, which means we sleep during the day and are up during the night. Hopefully this changes soon. I try to keep him up earlier at night so that he will sleep later..but he sleeps through ANYTHING. Literally...anything.
2.When he has to poop he swings his arms and goes cross eyed. Once he is done, he is completely content like he had just went through one of his greatest accomplishments. Not to mention he seems to take a poop the second Cody starts holding him.
3.He smiles while he sleeps. Newborns aren't supposed to smile, but he does...when he's sleeping. Don't really know what he is dreaming about. I've even heard him laugh in his sleep a couple times.
4.His hair gets greasy after a day..not even. This means more bath time, which is fun time..he actually enjoys taking a bath, I think.
5.He likes to whiz on Mom or Dad at the most inconvenient times aka public places.
6.He never cries. Really he doesn't. He didn't have a cry until a couple days ago and decided to whip it out for about 5 seconds for no reason?

There, just a few things about Axton. Anyhow, duty calls and Axton is wanting to eat.
