3am Feedings… Fun For The Whole Family
So it’s now Saturday Morning, let me be the first to wish Lindsay a Happy Birthday! We tried a new tactic last night at the 9pm feed. Which was to feed him LOTS n LOTS of milk.. till it almost burst from him… This seems to knock him out really good, as of late he’s been fairly fussy around feeds. Either after or before… so really we’re not sure what the deal was. So this is the next feed and I’ve made up a bottle of around 95mils which I’m hoping will just floor the little guy. Lindsay on the other hand will not stop talking about creme brule, which she had just apparently been dreaming about… Sounds like we’ll have to find some for her today. Well the little guy seems to be taking the milk really well.. and...
Point of No Return
Morning, So the little guy slept from 11 till 4:30am a pretty hefty jaunt through the night I’d say. Mom is still feeling like a shoe… which is to say she’s not well. Hey – it’s 5:27am right now leave me alone for the shoe thing. So as I was saying.. when I get up at this time there’s a point of no return, where either I can go back to sleep till 6am or I just stay up… I’ve passed that time.. which is 5am. We’re past that right now.. so only mommy will be going back to bed. She needs it though… So he’s currently burping right now… or rather in the process of being burped.. said burp has yet to arrive. And can on occasion be fairly difficult to coax out. He’s had his morning...
Mommy is my SuperHero!!!
Well as you can tell by the title tonight, Ayden has been – well the polite word is restless… and we’ll leave it at that. We started feeding him at 6pm and off and on between burps and hiccups he drank.. and then he spaced out and we thought oooo he’s gonna sleep but then he’d flinch and wake up… so we started over, more food and burping… we passed off between each other so that not one of us had to take the whole brunt of his fury. However I will heartily admit that Lindsay really took most of the brunt of that… And to top it off she’s sick, on antibiotics with a nasal spray. Well she managed to get Ayden rocked to sleep finally at 9pm. His room was dark and we both crept out – a sense of victory within...
It's Midnight – are you still eating?
Well here we are… it’s midnight and mommy is feeding little Ayden – who has just successfully burped. Ya today was a pretty good day compared to yesterday. I note these so that the little fella will know what a stinker he is. And by stinker I mean another word your not old enough to know yet. Ya yesterday Ayden was like some little monster… OMG! he just wouldn’t settle down. We tried everything… first you’d pick him up .. and he’d cry.. and then you’d check his diaper .. he’d cry.. you’d give him food, he’d eat and then cry…. we tried to give him gripe water.. he’d fuss and toss his arms in the way and spit it out.. then cry.. there was just no pleasing this little guy. Poor...
2 weeks at home
Well today Ayden has been home for 2 weeks already. the last few weeks have felt so much like a blur gone by. We have had so many visitors and also some doctors appointments that we had to go to with him, it just feels like it went so fast. I am really enjoying having Ayden home though. So after the first two weeks there are a few things that I have learned. 1. SLEEP IS NO LONGER PART OF MY VOCABULARY… 2. AYDEN RULES THE HOUSE!!! lol Ayden seems to have his nights and days mixed up. He will sleep most of the day away, but then at night after you feed him he is wide awake!!! Big eyes looking around at everything. I know that you can try to switch their schedule by keeping them awake during the day so that they sleep at night, but it just seems like a lot of...
