out and about
Or we intend to be, anyway, this evening. Troy and I are going to have a grown ups only dinner at 6 Mile Pub this evening. Not my first choice for a rare dinner out, but because of Ethan, and my mixed feelings of leaving him for any period of time lately, the pub is across the street from his grandma's and we can go and eat and drink there for an hour or so and return to him quickly. Since he's about 2 hours between feedings, this should work well.
A few nights ago, while I was at my weekly massage therapy appointment down the street (and gone only an hour) Ethan had a terrible time and was SCREAMING as if in pain. Troy could not console him no matter what he did - he even called the Nurse Line, and his mum who arrived shortly after I got home. We were all a little worried about that. He's fine, but what sets him off like that I have no idea. Sometimes, too, he'll awaken from a sleep or nap just bawling, and it takes him a while to be comforted. Its like he has a bad dream or something. I don't know. Troy and I were going to go to Il Terrazzo (a fave of mine) but that would take a lot longer and I know I'd ruin the evening worrying about my little guy. So be it.
If truth be told I'd almost rather just hang in tonight - throw a few steaks on the BBQ, have a few glasses of wine and just play with Ethan in the back yard. But its true - Troy and I need to go do something, even for a short while, on our own. I'll try to suck it up and not worry.
In other news, my red yucky eye is returning. I've got my glasses on again, and I'll have to go to either a Dr or my optomitrist on Monday or soon after to have it looked at. I'm wondering if my newish contacts are irritating my eye? Hrm. Either way, it really sucks and I hate having a sore red monster eye.
And on the motherhood front, I've successfuly made my own baby food (pears and apples so far) and Ethan really likes both of them mixed with either rice or oats cereal. Not sure what will be his dinner this evening - one or the other. I've also got mashed bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes and pureed broccoli on the roster to give him in the coming weeks. Such a big boy!
Life is pretty simple and small when you have an infant at home to look after - but at the same time, I feel so huge and important because I know I'm the world to him. Its a pretty amazing, if not terrifying, feeling. I absolutely love it.

Hope you had a good night out! Your son is adorable. Such chubby little cheeks!
It's hard to spend time away, but so worth it. My birthday was our first real outting and it was good to get out and be an adult for a short while.
Teagan has had a couple screaming fits like that lately. I'm guessing it might be her teeth or a nightmare.
Good for you making your own food! I plan to do that soon too. Just so you know, Zellers has Pablum brand jarred food for 17cents a jar right now! I don't think you could make it that cheap, not when you count your time, so I picked some up to have on hand. (the mixed veggies, apples and carrots are all without sugar or anything added)
