Mason and I spent our first day at home together. My mom left this weekend and Travis headed to work. Needless to say I was a tad bit apprehensive....but the day went well, we even made our first car trip together. Mason sounded a little stuffy, so we headed to the doctor. I was there at 8:45, office opened at 9. My mom used to do this with us when we were sick. She was always the first one waiting in line at the doctor. Her idea was the sooner she could get us in to see the doctor, the faster we could get our medicine and feel better. Mom was always the best nurse and I hope I can be the same for Mason. Anyway, Dr. Greer says the stuffed up sound was perfectly normal for the third week and he showed us how to suction out Mason's nose, which I will allow Travis to do, because Mason hates it. I don't want to be the bad guy.
Travis got home around 5:30 and Allyson stopped by to drop off a cool baby carrier to help me care for Mason when I'm at home, or to take him on walks. LOVE her. Then I got out for about 30 minutes and walked super hard in the rain. It was great to get some fresh air and be alone with my thoughts. Then we had dinner and gave Mason his bath. I'm going to bed and Travis is going to do this next feeding so I can get some sleep. Travis has been so nice that I decided to post pictures of little Mason in his first ever SEC outfit, even though it's not Auburn.
So, good night little Mason! Here's to us! We did it and I only cried three times for my mom!! Not too shabby!
