I Found my THUMB!!

Joshua has constantly tried to find his thumb and I have even attempted to help him get it in there without any luck. Today - I was again airing out the diaper rash and had him on his belly... He was a bit upset and searching for something...

Finally - he found it... his Thumb. I have never seen him so happy - wonkey eye and all! If my cousin Lisa is reading this - I have been waiting to catch his wonkey eye just for you... :)

Today was also the first time I went to "Mommy and Me" class at the hospital. It is a class that is hosted by nurses at the hospital to let mom's come with their little ones and hang out for an hour. They have speakers on various topics and then there is plenty of time for just talking between moms. It was so nice to go today. My friend Jamie was there with Ella and then there were probably 15 other moms of newborns.

We are able to weigh the babies during the class and of course I had to know how much my chunky monkey has gained. Drum roll please... 9 lbs 7 ounces! So at 3 weeks and 6 days old, he is up 2 lbs 5 ounces! He is starting to fill out in his arms and legs... I can't wait to have the "Michelin man" arms. :)

As for the rest of the "Mommy and Me" class, the discussion was primarily on breastfeeding. Which made me happy to know I am not the only one who is clueless on how long the pumped milk will last... in a freezer, on the counter, etc. Along with oodles of other questions around diapers, sleeping, and fussyness. It was nice to just talk to other moms.

We joked about how all of our husbands have been literally bombarded at night when they come home because we have not talked to anyone all day long. So this "Mom and Me" class is really going to help them too! ha ha!
