Today it is rainy and in the 5 minutes I may have of silence today and free time..there is not much of that or I would have clearly already written the updates on Mr.O already..since he is 5 weeks already this past Tuesday and soon to be 6 weeks next week already. A little behind..but better later than not at all.
Owen is growing so fast..it seems to be going a lot faster than I remember for E and trust me that is not that long ago..mind you I just turned 27 yesterday so age is making my memory escape me. I read one of those ecards that said I used to have brain cells I traded them in for Children..kind of makes you giggle a wee bit right.
Last week so two Mondays ago he was weighed and he was already 9 pounds. So I am guessing that he is over 10 by now. Each day he amazes us on how strong he is. He has held his head up like no ones business looking side to side since about a week and pushes up already like he is swimming/crawling during tummy time in the floor play mat. He is a very alert little guy. He is starting to lose his hair..but has new growth coming back in at the same time thank goodness.
Sleep..you can run off of 4 hours right? Well he is now doing at least one span of 4-5 hours sometimes even 6 at night..which is a godsend for me since we have to stay up so late to feed him and wake up early to feed him anywhere from 3-5am depending and then he goes back up and I sleep a little or stay awake until Miss E wakes up. He is a lot more needy it seems in other ways than when E was wee. Right now he does not want to go to sleep for naps in the day unless he has help or is on someone..which makes it hard. We use a soother but he spits it out like a ninja and will only sometimes help hold it in..then gets mad that it is gone..real pain in the you know what. He also loves to be around a lot of noise...so a mp3 player for his room is being bought this weekend for nap time in the day..the frog we have is apparently not good enough. He is used to his loud sister so it explains a lot.
Sleeping at night is great..unless he has gas. My mom told me when I was small and new to the world I had to have a lot of Ovol for tummy issues. Well he seems to have a sensitive stomach as well. Give him some Ovol and it works wonders. We tried using some other stuff same ingredients but it is not the same. I know it may be some things i eat once in awhile like eggs and spicier foods..just means I have to think ahead of time. Who ever said it does not effect them when you eat something and breastfeed are completely wrong.
Today we have a noisy crying household. I am not crying..YET! lol E has teeth coming in so it seems and O does not want to be upstairs sleeping in his crib alone. We resorted to sleeping him in the swing this morning after one feed...going back up 4 times to fix him is enough after trying to get E's lunch made and feed her and get lunch ready for Doug and Myself. I really can not wait until E can explain more of what she wants instead of crying and throwing herself on the floor to get attention when I am breastfeeding O. Also when O starts to grunt/Coo etc..that would be nice.
O is still using the shield to feed. However E used it for almost 3 months..I did however get him latched 3 times on the left side...so that is progress. Also last night is the first night I bathed him without him crying. I have never met a little boy who hates being naked as much as my son. He cries when we change him either his bum or clothing and during baths .
Did I mention he is a Peeing machine!!! We pee freely everywhere when we are changed. I know that is normal...we are getting a lot better. With O it does not matter if he is covered or not. Yesterday he peed so much he got it in his mouth twice...silly boy.
So I go for my 6 week check next week..hopefully everything is good! I will try and post more updates and pics..please be understanding lol. Miss E needs to be updated next week...so here goes nothing right.
