Baby Brother is officially 1 month old today! I feel like I've been in a weird sleepless, drug-induced daze for the past 30 days (probably because I have) so I'm shocked it's been so long already! Want to hear something even more shocking? I have yet to spend an entire day alone with both boys. Our family left on Monday and Tuesday and Terry worked from home the remainder of the week so I have had help for an entire month - it has been such a blessing!!! Monday however...I am all alone. We will see how it goes...
Anyway.
Some of you might remember the monthly shots I took of the Shrimp - I plan to do the same with Buddy boy. I don't want him thinking that I love him any less than his brother. Because I don't.
At one month:
- He is the spit. up. king. Seriously. It's ridiculous. I don't even try to wear my nice clothes because I know I'll just have to change. When my Mom was still in town he would reserve his extra special spit ups for her. I miss you Mom ;)
- He wakes up twice a night. Not too terrible but I need to stop falling asleep in my rocking chair - it gets uncomfortable after two hours...
- He is a CHUNK. I have no idea how much he weighs but he has to be at least 10 or 11 pounds. Seriously - just look at him!
- He gets pretty grumpy when he's sleepy so we've been using our baby carrier a lot. I find that if I pop him in and carry him around he's out in about 5 minutes and I can still get stuff done. It has been a lifesaver!
And for reference - here is the Shrimp at one month. Definitely smaller. Definitely less hair.
