If I could save milk in a bottle

the first thing that I'd like to do
is to feed my son while his mother is sleeping
or at times in the late afternoon.

This past week, we finally sorted out our breast pump situation. At first Lauren bought a manual one that was defective, so we had to order a replacement part. During that time, we decided to check out some electric pumps too and I decided to drop the $$$ on the one that my wife really wanted but was having trouble justifying the cost.

She knew it was the best one, I knew we would be using it for a while so we should have one that is reliable and that would work for other infants (oh yeah). A woman at Target, unsolicited, confirmed that she had tried them all and the Medela was the one to get. So I got.

Now I get to feed my son, which by the way is much more fun than dealing with the byproduct side of his digestion. Once a day he gets a bottle and he loves it. Lauren gets to sleep during one nighttime feeding. Dad gets to provide more than comfort and diaper changes. It's great all around.

In other news...

My Mom is coming into town on Friday for 4 days. It'll be her first trip to our home in ATL and we are all excited to see her and for her to meet her newest grandchild. We have some fun activities planned for her visit as well as some good, downhome, chillin' in da hood. I warned Oz about her knack for blowing raspberries on baby stomachs. He thinks he can handle it.

Only two more days until she lands!!!
Hooray!!!!!
