It's just after noon on my first day alone with Ryan, and I've only cried once.
It was this morning, after I got out of the shower, because I realized that I was so completely rude to Hunter yesterday evening and that's because evenings are the worst for me. I felt terrible about being rude, then I felt even more terrible because I know he's already forgiven me. So I cried a little then put my contacts in and got dressed and made the bed.
Then Ryan woke up, I fed him and we played for about an hour before he got fussy and I successfully put him down for a nap. This is big because we're about 50/50 for the mid-day nap this week.
So the half-day so far has been fine. My friend Kelly is coming over in a few minutes, so I can quiz her about many mommy-related things and then we can bemoan the state of the newspaper business. And later, I may take Ryan with me to the grocery store.
And grandparents, don't worry. I'm also planning on taking some new pictures and posting them soon. He's changing so much each day, Hunter and I can hardly believe it. The remains of his umbilical cord fell out this morning! He has something resembling a real belly button now.
I'm celebrating the small things.

If you haven't already seen it, I demand you watch the Sex and the City episode where Miranda's baby Brady loses his last bit of umbilical cord. It is HILARIOUS.
I have seen so many episodes of SATC and I cannot remember this one! I will go look for it now.
Please tell me you threw the remains of the umbilical cord away. Seriously I am in the "acquaintance" of a woman at work who saved her son's....eeeeek. I will never ask to look at her baby book for fear it is lurking in there.
It is in the trash as we speak.
