Hello, Our little man is over 2 Months Old! Time is flying...and it is really just not fair. But on a better note...he has changed so much and it is truly beautiful seeing him learn new things! This baby is sooooooooo good! So lucky to be his Mama...and we love him so much <3 Anders is in his own room (he has been for several weeks now) He loves it and is doing so well...I will have a post about his nursery soon...just gotta hang up a couple more things and it will be complete! His Brothers are absolutely in love with him...there are times when they love him just a little too much...haha. Isaiah can give some very rough kisses when he get's carried away...it's a good thing baby's are tougher than we think. Having two older brothers makes for a tough little brother :) My little boys are so precious and it is amazing seeing the love the two older boys have for their little brother! Life is good! At 2 Months Old... Weight & Length- 12lbs 6oz and he is 22 inches long. Sizes- I just put his 0-3 Months clothes away about 2 weeks ago and pulled out the 3-6 Months clothes...however he is growing at lightning speeds and I will be going through his 6-12 Months clothes very shortly. A lot of his 3-6 Months clothes are just fitting! Yikes! He is in Size 2 diapers (We didn't even get through all the Size 1 diapers) We just got our box of Size 2's and honestly I have a feeling he will be growing out of them in a couple weeks...sigh. I will be starting cloth diapers again though...I am feeling read to take that task on. I miss using them. Routine- I am actually so thankful that he is such a good baby. We are getting into a beautiful routine! 6:30/7:00am- Wake up. I nurse him. Have my morning coffee and just hang out until the boys wake up. Some mornings start a little later...if Anders sleeps a bit longer. But usually is is around this time. He stays up for about 20 minutes then goes back to sleep. naps for about 1-1.5hours. He nurses every 2-3 hours during the day...and naps for about 1.5-2hour stretches. We haven't established a night routine yet...but I am working on that. The problem is with Jayden and I staying up late...lol. Anders just hangs out with us until we go to be (he is usually just sleeping on me until that happens) Then I nurse him and he goes to sleep in his crib. Sleeping- He is such a good sleeper. Oh my word! We end up putting him in his crib anywhere from 9:30-11pm (depending on when I go to sleep) He wakes up around 3am for a feeding. Then again when we wake up around 6am. So he wakes up once every night (maybe twice) Praise the Lord!!!! Eating- Exclusively Breastfed and so happy with that <3 It's going great! Milestones- He seems to be on track with development.
1 Month Postpartum- I am loving life with 3 little boys. They definitely keep me on my toes. I sit at about 168lbs now. Weight has stopped just falling off now...and now I have to work to get it off :( Lol. Breastfeeding is definitely helping me this time...but now it's time I start to do my own working out and eating better. I started my bootcamp a couple weeks ago. That is going well (I have missed some classes) but when I do go I feel so great. I have also started weigh watchers, still not 100% on track but I don't think I will ever be...but being on the program definitely keeps me accountable...and helps me to keep in line about what I am eating. I am excited for working out...and eating better! I am wanting to add in my morning running again...but that is going to take time to build up too...also to wake up at a decent time in the mornings. My goal is to wake up at 6am so I nurse Anders then go for my run...sounds so perfect. I know I will get there...eventually. ...following my dreams...
