it was also very cold over the weekend and i got mad at it and eventually turned up the thermostats (once we got what is hopefully our last delivery of very expensive propane). mom came down saturday afternoon and stayed until sunday. we were not ready for her to go as we're used to having her friday night to sunday, but she did help me get some much needed sleep saturday night.
on tuesday, march 4th, trevor turned both 4 weeks and 1 month old (due to february being a short month). i can't believe it's been a month already!! he also had his appointment with the audiologist this day since his right ear didn't pass the initial screening in the hospital (the nurse had told us not to worry, that lots of babies don't pass and are not deaf, due to many factors from birth) and he passed and is all good.
we're still working on establishing a routine and figuring out how to keep him awake more during the day and sleep more at night. i wake him every 3 hours during the day to eat and attempt to keep him awake for as long as possible afterwards by playing and such, but he's a stubborn boy! if he wants to sleep, he's gonna sleep :)
momma (this may be more info than you wanted to know but i want to document these things for mmysefl): this week i attempted going first a full night and then full days without wearing pads (both breast pads and bottom pads) and was successful!! i feel so much more normal!! my boobs still leak occasionally at night but not much and not often. i also did an actual workout on tuesday (4 weeks post partum). i had been doing some squats and good mornings, and small planks & abs for a week or so along with some stretching, so i felt confident trying an actual workout. i didn't want to do too much however, so i emailed the all knowledgable (and doula) malia and she sent me 3 pieces to do to re-establish my stability and try to gain some stamina. it was a tough workout (i'm really out of shape!) but it felt good. i'm hoping that this is kind of like starting over and i can create some better habits and muscle usage.

trevor is starting to see more so we attempted to play on the playmat the perrens gave us. i don't think he really saw the toys yet but hopefully soon. he turns his head to the side most of the time so once he gets some more neck strength he'll be able to look up and see them.
he helped me with laundry :)
so tiny!
