You are 6 weeks old today!
Since we both have been home together in some sort of 'normalcy' things are getting a bit easier each day. I do like this stage better than the newborn one so far. You are interacting more, I can read your cries and coos, and you are smiling and reacting more to us!
A few minor details from this week:
- You celebrated your first Halloween. So. Freaking. Cute.
- You spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with no sleeping or napping during the day. It was a challenge for both of us! Then yesterday and today some switch flipped and you have been an angel baby. Please let the growth spurt be over!
- You slept 5 hours straight LAST NIGHT!!!! (The only reason I woke up is because your groceries wet the bed...small price to pay for sleep!).
- You seem to be a 10pm to 10 am sleeper. When you wake to feed during this time period you go directly back to sleep!
- You don't like to be put down to bed. Getting you into the sleep pattern has been our biggest challenge
- The dogs don't like you sleeping in the pack in play, so this is how/where they sleep now. Mommy and daddy really like them sleeping on the couch instead of their bed ;-)
- We have discovered the wonder and beauty of the ring sling. Best. Purchase. Ever.
- We are still rotating sposies and cloth diapers until our shipment gets here. Your diaper rash has cleared up thanks to Lanolin!
- I do at least 2 loads of laundry a day between your spitting up, leaky diapers and my over abundance of milk. Hopefully this lets up!
- You enjoy your swing in spurts. Today you napped in it for over an hour, but usually you only like it for 10-15 minutes.
- You take baths every other day and seem to enjoy it...if that means sleeping right afterwards ;-)
Here is our post-partum picture together. You are definitely getting bigger and I'm getting smaller!
Blessings!
