i couldn't decide on a picture for this week (even tho i have him in the same outfit as last week, oops!); he was too cute and smiled! also the one on the right is some sweet air guitar! :) happy 6 weeks sweet, adorable boy!!
wednesday i looked out the window and saw a chicadee in our tree!! that's huge for a couple of reasons: 1. spring is hopefully actually coming. 2. we never have birds here, between the out door cats and tator, i hadn't seen any birds or wildlife . and 3. i love chicadee's! they remind me of my grama and really makes me want to get my tattoo!!
thursday trevor must have had a growth spurt. he slept well wednesday night and then slept ALL DAY thursday, mostly in his crib. he was awake a tiny bit in the morning, just enough for me to try my favorite outfit on him and then to eat. i was afraid he wouldn't sleep at night, but he did!!
mom came down again this weekend and it's always so nice and needed. just to have a couple extra hands especially in the mornings when he's awake and fussy. it helps that she also helps clean and cook :) she was essential in my ability to get a bunch of nagging tasks on my to-do list done. i was able to organize all our donate/sell stuff (7 bags & 1 large box full!), clean the floor around our entrance door really well (it was full of sand and salt), and organize 2 large closets! feels SO good to get things like that done; especially while reading the happiness project where she's doing the same thing.
trevor's starting to be able to see things and loves to spend some time on his playmat with all the fancy colors, whereas before he'd just lay on it. now he's very active and can even kick some of the toys. he's also getting good at tummy time; he's never hated it but would only hold his head up for a second or two.
he's really getting too long for his bassinet but neither al nor i are ready for him to be out of our room, so we're trying to figure out if we should put a playpen in our room or just bite the bullet and put him in his room/crib. he naps in his crib pretty well but we have seperation anxiety :) plus he makes a lot of noise at night so i'm afraid i'd be going in there a bunch instead of just being able to stand up and have him right there. we'll see...
on sunday night i had my first semi-traumatic momma moment. i was clipping his finger nails and i got a portion of the skin on his middle finger. he cried and was bleeding a lot, everywhere. and of course he was wearing a white outfit. lucky for me, trevor is a tough guy! he only cried for a little bit and was pretty patient with me while i figured out what to do to get it to stop bleeding. i took him up into the bathroom and held a kleenex on it but he kept wiggling and it kept bleeding. i considered putting liquid bandaid on it since i didn't think we had a bandaid small enough nor that one would stay on his tiny finger, but i also knew how much that stings. i eventually found a small bandaid and was able to get it on his finger. it only stayed on for about an hour or so but it was long enough to stop the bleeding. i apologized to him many times and kissed his boo-boo, hopefully he forgave me. i than finished the rest of his nails so that both us would immediately get over any nail clipper fears we might have.
knock on wood, but trevor slept really well all nights this week! he's getting about a 4-5 hour feeding/sleeping in right when i lay him down and then usually up just one other time about 4-5ish in the morning. hopefully he's gotten used to it and this will continue and his sleep stretches will get longer. we only have a little ways to go for him to be getting up only once a night.
i am feeling good although i still feel so flabby; i suppose 6 weeks out isn't all that long for skin and muscles to readjust but i really dislike the back rolls i can feel touching. i've been doing a little bit of working out: dumbbell work along with core and pushups, also some stretching. i'm hoping to hit the batting cages soon and to get out and attempt some runs/sprints if the spring weather will come back. i am still really really thirsty when breast feeding; it's on cue. he starts eating, i get immediately thirsty, like "gotta have water NOW" thirsty. i haven't been too hungry except if i'm up feeding him at the 4 o'clock hour, then i'm starving. any other hour during the night i'm fine.
fits in my favorite outfit now!! :)
