First time sleeping in his own room

Well, tonight we are going to see how Evan sleeps in his own room, and how mommy sleeps without Evan in her room. I have this feeling he will be just fine, and me on the other hand, may not sleep so well tonight. His room is right by our room and we have a baby monitor, so I will be able to hear him well.
Things have been going good with Steve working from home and me going to work. I have my 4 hours at work and then I get to come home to my favorite boys. Evan is usually a very happy baby, we are very blessed. He is holding his head up on his own, during tummy time he can lift his head. I can't think of a whole lot of exciting things.
We spent the evening with some wonderful friends on Friday night while my parents took care of Evan, Evan did awesome and we had a great time with our friends. I still cannot believe he is already 3 months old, the time is going by so fast.
Evan is animated, he loves checking everything out and never wants to miss out on anything, in fact, he will fight falling asleep because he wants to be where all the action is. I love being a mommy, it has changed my world, and I just love it.
Evan enjoys bath time and naked time very much. He will be fussy, and the minute you strip him down, he knows bath time is coming and he stops being fussy. Steve and I give him a bath together, which is nice together time for the 2 of us. I have learned how important it is to set time aside for just Steve and I. The only thing that is weird to me is now we have to schedule time for the two of us to give attention to only each other. We make it work. =)
I think that is it for now. I will try to post again soon to let you know how tonight went with Evan sleeping in his room.

Back at Work

Well, I have been back at work for 2 weeks now and this week I am on Spring Break. Steve has a most wonderful boss who is letting him work from home for the next 8 weeks. So going back to work wasn't too hard. It is easier being at work knowing Evan is home with his daddy. I am only working 4 hours a day, so that makes things a bit easier too. I love coming home from work to see my husband and son. Evan is getting so big, he can hold his head up by himself, he still gets a little tired sometimes and his head just kind of flops down. He is a happy baby most of the time.
Steve and I had our first date night since Evan was born. My parents watched him for the few hours we were at dinner. At first it was REALLY weird being in the car without Evan. But we were able to enjoy our evening. Thank you again Mom & Dad.
Evan loves mirrors, he enjoys looking at the baby in the mirror. Oh he is so much fun, we are at that stage where we can play. He's still trying to figure out how his hands work, but I really think he will be grabbing things on his own very soon.
Evan is only on breast milk. I pump every morning before work, and when I get home from work. So Steve is able to give Evan a bottle whenever he needs it. I am starting to know what a cow feels like though, being on a pumping schedule is already getting tiring.
Well, Evan's cry is telling me I am done with the blogging for now.
