6 weeks!

Boston is 6 weeks old today! I cannot imagine if I had to be back at work right now, I'm just not ready, but I doubt I will ever be ready to go back. If only I could work at least part time...sigh...
He is growing like a weed and looking more like his daddy everyday. He is around 9lbs 10oz and eating every 3-4 hours. Thank goodness it is more on a "schedule" now. He is only waking up twice a night to eat, but the after the last feeding it's hard to get him to go back to sleep in his chair, so i end up putting him in the bed with me. I know, big mistake I'm sure, but sleep is very precious to us right now, so whatever works we will have to deal with the consequences later. That being said, he will only sleep in his bouncy chair; he does not like flat surfaces. Any ideas to change that would be greatly appreciated. I would really like for him to sleep in his pack and play and eventually move on to the crib.
I have read everywhere that you cannot "spoil" a newborn but I have to disagree. He LOVES to be held and rarely lets me put him down for more that a few minutes without fussing. He has taken a bottle very well and that has provided me with some much needed free time. He and Kyle had some bonding time last Friday and watched basketball all day, while I ran errands. We are going to try to give him a little bit of formula this week just to make sure he will take it.
I plan on stopping by the daycare hopefully this week to meet his teachers and see what I will need to bring when that dreaded day arrives. I am slowly trying to get us on a better schedule to prepare for April 13th. We have gotten into the bad habit of going to be late and sleeping in, so I am trying to get up earlier each day, but it is so hard!
On another note, Boston went to his first birthday party this weekend! Our friends Craig and Lacy's little boy Jake turned one so we headed to Hot Springs for the party. He slept the whole time! The more noise and movement the better where this little boy is concerned! Of course we came back with some great gifts from the Gigerich's too! We will be seeing them again in a couple of weeks, they are staying the weekend with us while the boys are in a golf tournament. That should be interesting, we will have a full house!
