8 weeks old

My sweet little boy is 8 weeks old almost two months its just so crazy how fast its going by! We are really getting a lot better at being parents its crazy how your life changes so much in an instant it definitely takes some getting used to. We are starting to try and get him on a better schedule before we were just going with his cues he ate on demand which was constantly!! Then we would get him to sleep when he seemed tired but now im trying to give him a little bit more of a routien and it seems to be helping with nights. The past two nights he finally slept more then only two hours he seems to go three hours then sometimes will get up after just another hour then goes another three and once more with a few little wake ups but will go right back down and up at seven. It feels a lot better knowing we have some sort of an idea how the nights are going to go it was getting really hard to just be up at all hours and poor boy was not getting any good quality sleep. It seems he is only needing to wake up to feed twice at night now around 12 and 4 am. I feel like a whole new person getting a three hour stretch like that. He is napping much better during the day also I am happy he is finally getting the rest he needs. His two month check up is on Monday and I am very excited to see how much he has grown my back can tell you its a lot! Im betting he is close to 14 pounds already he is fitting into a lot of three month clothes and still can wear a few 0-3. He is finally starting to love his play mat he is very interested in colors and lights. He seems to have a blast kicking his piano and has started to grab at the hanging toys its been so much fun. He is smiling a lot more everyday you have to work for it but its oh so worth it. He is still exclusively breastfed and loves it he is a champ at eating. During the day we are trying to go with the eat/play/sleep thing and it seems to be working out he sometimes still seems hungry after the play so he will have a little snack before I lay him down for a nap im trying to stop feeding him to sleep but if its what comforts him for now im not going to take that away from him this young. His favorites right now would be Eating of course and he seems to love laying on his back and just hanging out thats when we get the most smiles and his play mat. He dislikes not being held and you must stand up no sitting! Going down for naps he fusses but usually will not fight me too bad anymore. He is just getting to be so fun and I cant wait for him to keep growing and doing all the new fun things as he does. Love my miracle baby and grateful for him everyday.

Six weeks PP

Well now that I have time to finally get around to it tomorrow will actually be seven weeks! I had my check up last week and it all went well got the okay to work out and have some fun again. I was scared to death to get all checked out I am feeling pretty much back to normal but I still have some soreness when I use the bathroom. We ended up trying to give it a go and have some fun and oh boy did it hurt it was not the worst but I sure cant weight until things just feel normal again I think its going to take a few more weeks for that though. My little man is growing so fast he looks so different from his newborn pictures. He is already growing out of a lot of his newborn clothes and is wearing mostly 0-3 and even some 3 month ones. He is still waking up every two hours to eat sometimes every hour its very tiring but all worth it. Breastfeeding is still going awesome he is an very effcient eater only takes up about ten minutes for a feed and he seems happy and full. WE are loving cloth diapering still he has been since he was a newborn. Right now we are using All in ones and prefolds the all in ones are definitely our favorite though! We had to put him in disposables at night just because he is such a heavy wetter I was having to change his diaper every hour and neither of us were getting any sleep so this has worked out nice. We use the Bambo nature diaper they are expensive but by far the best safest diaper out there! He is such a sweet boy and we our getting the hang out this parent thing my husband has been such a help he cooks dinner and cleans the house and will take him for naps or just for me to get out for a few hours he is just the best! I cant wait for him to keep growing and having all of our new adventures together he is truly a miracle and I feel so blessed to have him in my life. Christmas was great it was still pretty rough since we were still in the middle of the newborn madness but I can not wait for this year he will be a little one year old and so much fun!!
