Little Trooper

Braylon is quite the little trooper. He has been passed around so much the past 72 hours that I am sure he is so confused on what is going on. He has spent hours in the lobby of the hospital with a good group of people that he has never seen in his short life. He has only been around my brothers and at that it has never been for long periods of time due to us not living close by. He spent a lot of time with my sisters boyfriends family while waiting for the birth to occur. Then the past two days he has spent roughly 13 hours total with my moms friend Donna (my brother Carson goes to school and plays hockey with her son Marky). He was at her house with her and her husband. And from what I have been told he did GREAT! He slept, ate, played and overall had a great time. I am so glad that he was such a great little boy. They have requested that they get to see him everytime we are in town. And they have extend the offer to babysit WHENEVER I need it. It is really nice to hear how so many times over and over what a great, easy and cute little boy I have. He is quite the little trooper, adapting to whatever situation is thrown at him. I would like to think he did so well because I am just that great of a mommy and he is very secure in the fact that I will always come back, which I will.

I was worried because he spends very little time not around me. I very rarely leave him and when I do it is with Colin. In New Mexico he is only regularly around me, Colin, his Gramzie and my friend Catherine. I was stressed that he would not do well with all of these people around him. While I am glad he did great and did not stress out the people watching him, I am kind of sad he did so well. I mean it sort of makes me feel like he does not need me all that much. Okay I know he still needs me, but I am feeling him get his first dose of independence and it is a little tough. I want him to need to be around me and need me to comfort me. As I was experiencing the sadness of my little baby growing up, it became dark outside. When the sun goes down, Braylon ONLY wants me. Colin will not do for him. He wants his mommy to comfort him and hold him. So I guess he does still need me and needs to held close to his mommy. Ahhhh, I feel so loved!

Well, now I am off to finish making the lactation cookies for my sister. They are not the best tasting cookies but they do help with upping your supply.
