The day I've been dreading has made its way here. John's first day back at work. I've been crying about it nonstop. I'm ok with the idea of taking care of Rudy for a whole day (especially because Gran is coming over to help out for the day, thankfully!), but I'm so sad for Rudy. He is going to miss his dad so much. John has been great at calming him down when he is fussy and putting him to sleep. Rudy loves laying on his chest. He looks like a little tree frog hanging on him. His little legs are bunched up and his arms are straight out on either side. He sleeps well like that on me, too but its not the same. He immediately gets calm and falls asleep with John. So it makes me sad Rudy won't have that all day. And on the other side, it makes me so sad for John. I can't imagine how hard it will be for him to spend 24 hours without his baby. And I'm sad for me. I miss John already.
Rudy and I woke up with John about 5:30 to eat. John was able to snuggle him a little before he had to leave (with me nearly sobbing (these hormones have got to get straightened out!) and Rudy bright-eyed). This is where the fun started. I was in the middle of changing Rudy's diaper when he began peeing. It went straight up into the air, and back down right onto Rudy's face. Pee streaming right on him made him start to squirm, which basically made a water hose of pee all over his head...completely soaking it. I get out a blanket to wrap him in because his clothes were not going back on obviously. Rufus, smelling pee, is trying adamantly to "clean" his head. So down we go for a bath...at 6:20 am. Mid-bath he pees again! But we made it through and now he is squeaky clean and asleep in his chair. I have a hot cup of coffee, thanks to John, and am blogging. Deep breaths.
