I haven't had internet. I'm at my mom's job right now..... so i still don't and probably won't for a while
Hendrix and i almost have our schedules figured out. At first his hours were the opposite of mine but i'm adjusting myself to him and it's getting easier. Taking care of an infant really isn't as difficult as i thought it would be. I mean, sure you have to wake up sometimes when you don't want to, but everybody goes through that. It's called high school.
If anyone is thinking about trying EC i definitely recommend it. It just keeps getting easier every day. He now will not go pee in his diaper. (Unless of course no one notices his cues and he gives up....but that makes him very upset and he still gets changed right away) He grunts and squirms and kicks until i take his diaper off and hold him in position. He wears Huggies newborn. They're the only ones that fit him right. He has some cloth diapers too but they're not as easy to get off and on so i usually only put those on him for when he's going to sleep for a long time. I keep getting people saying things to me like "that's nice, but that's a lot of work".... which doesn't make sense to me. Isn't it more work to clean up after a dirty diaper that the baby has sat in and gotten all over his bottom than it is to clean up a little after the baby used a toilet (of sorts) so that his crap was expelled away from his skin? I think it's far less work. And i often find that he'll end up wearing the same diaper for hours because it doesn't get dirty or wet. Basically i used them as underwear for him.
I changed my mind about co-sleeping. Originally i was apprehensive about it because of this lady i knew of that accedently rolled over on her baby and killed it.
But after Hendrix was born and i started sleeping with him on my chest i realized that would never happen with me. He makes the slightest movements and i'm up in a heartbeat no matter how exhausted i am. Between me, my ex, my mom, and my brothers, Hendrix hasn't been put down very much. haha
