Wow - this has been a big week for our little man, and it's not over yet!
Dad is home this week for his second week for paternity leave. Thank god, because we've had a lot going on, all of which is so much more complicated with a baby, feeding schedules, etc.
Yesterday was a tough day for the family. Owen had his circumcision. I won't go into any details, but the whole family was upset. Not sure if Owen or Mom was more traumatized. Mom (that's me) had to leave the room when it was being done. It's also made diaper changes a bit more complicated and difficult for the next few days - hopefully he heals fast and forgives us.
Today Owen became an official US citizen! The family headed up to North London, taking Owen's first train ride, black cab ride and tube ride! We woke up this morning and there was a few inches of snow on the ground which causes complete chaos in this country - made the journey, um, fun? Anyway, we got there and submitted all the forms for his US passport, US birth certificate and social security number. After feeding him, we took him to a few of the stores on Oxford Street. Owen was an angel!
Tomorrow we have a few local errands to run, and we are prepping for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive on Friday morning! Can't wait to introduce them to their grandson! It's also Owen's 1 month birthday tomorrow. Expect a cute month birthday photo soon. (:

ReplyDeleteMy mom was completely traumatized by same when Steve was born. He claims to have gotten over it quickly, but I'm sure its hard to hear him cry and not be able to help...

I would really like to skip this part if I have a son, but my husband disagrees on this point.
