Lucas-7 weeks

John came home early yesterday and we went to the mall. Lucas slept most of the time, but woke up very hungry so I fed him as he looked at the ceiling of the mall and listened to all the echoing noises. And then he watched American Idol with us and went to sleep around 10:30pm AND HE DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 5:30AM!!! I couldn't believe it--not even when John was getting ready did he wake. It had been 6 hours since I pumped, so my boobs were SOOOOO engorged and leaking everywhere, through the nursing pads. Needless to say, I pumped a quick 8 oz that time! I knew I had to get Lucas out of that diaper so I woke him up and he only had a pee diaper!

He was whiny so I knew he had to poop, but I waited and tried to help him, but he kept crying so I fed him again...and he tried to push again...and he cried, so I thought a bath might help him. He liked the bath of course, but still didn't poop.


Well, he went back to sleep this morning in his swing, and I heard him waking up and exploding in his diaper as I thought he would...and it came out the back of his diaper. But now he is clean, happy and hungry again, most of all relieved, and at least I got some funny video out of it---check out his 'oooh' pooping face I have been talking about:
