My cutie

I didn't realize it's possible to love someone more n more everyday!

Who knew?

Who knew your child could make you a morning person?? I've never enjoyed the 6am hour as much as these days when he is wide awake and wants to play.

Let baby sleep

Dr said not to wake up baby at night n let him sleep until he wakes up. Trouble is, now after being on a 1.5 hr sleep schedule for 1 month, and tonight after having slept 3-4 hours straight, I'm wide awake. I'm grateful that he's able to go this long without a feed, bc if (touch wood) every night is like this, my life will be 'normal' again. I just have to get used to not being sleep deprived!

One month!

Today is Puchku's one month birthday, and I think I got the best (and most) sleep last night! I am keeping my fingers crossed that his sleep pattern only continues to get better with time. I felt like a normal human being this morning when I woke up... Though I'm still planning on taking a nap after this feed.
Drs appt went well too. Not too much crying when he got his Hep vaccine. He even gave the nurses a smile when they came in at first. He's now 7lbs 2.5 oz! The size of a gora newborn!

Pumping

Yesterday was the first day I pumped -- was so proud of myself :) was surprisingly easier to do than I thought. Puchku drank the 1oz (that took 15 mins to pump) in less than 5 minutes! I need to pump more I guess. Will go to the Health & Wellness center today to get more tips from them on how often to pump etc. I hope its not the same stupid lactation nurse that I had at the hospital, whose advice has been consistently the opposite of that of my doctors. Plus she has this holier than thou attitude. I got carpel tunnels from. Compressing too much thx to her brilliant advice.

Puchku & Baba

Smile!

He's definitely started smiling now, n not just passing gas. He's also awake for more hours of the day.

Today I took him out for a walk in his stroller bc it was a beautiful 70 degree day outside. It was rather pointless tho bc he fell asleep before we even got outside so he couldn't enjoy the change of scenery. Anyway, it was nice for me to get out for a bit.
