6 1/2 weeks old

And already some milestones have been met.  He's "social smiling",  he's waving his arms to objects overhead, and he coos.  He's awake much longer too!  At most, he stays up for an hour and a half.  JP LOVES music!  It helps him calm down....any kind of music.  From Mozart to Jay-Z he loves it just the same.  

I only have 2 more weeks with my little boy.  It's kind of bittersweet.  I can't wait to go back to normal and feel like myself a little more.  I guess, that's a bit hard to explain.  I do feel like myself but I feel like I'm tied down when it comes to a lot of things because of the baby.  I guess it takes some getting use to.  Then again, I don't want to go back because I know I'm going to miss JP terribly.  Lucky for me, he'll be staying with my mom.  So I won't be feeling terrible.  I know he will be in good hands.  But my mom doesn't know our routine...so I'm going to have to spend some time with her and the baby so that she gets use to it and JP gets use to staying with her.  

I went to the OB on Friday and we've been cleared to have sex!  LOL  But I'm not gonna lie...I'm a little afraid to have sex.  I don't think I've gotten my true period yet and therefore, I don't know when I'm ovulating.  Once I get a true period I will start taking my temp again and charting.  Then I'll feel more comfortable.  I doubt however, that Vlad wants to wait that long.  So we'll have to use another form of contraceptive in the mean time.  I CANNOT get pregnant again.  I need time to forget about my labor and delivery.  It really was a terrible experience that ended splendidly.  

JP is getting so big!  Yesterday, I compared him to a 4 month old at a party...and I swear...he looks just as big as he does.  JP is going to be huge if you ask me!  We'll see how much longer he got at his 2 month appointment.  I also think he's weighing about 10 lbs. already.  I guess we'll find out soon.
