Hello, Well our little man turned 7 Months on the 9th (I am a little late on this post) but I finally got my blog all organized and figured out...I still have a lot to learn because the layout isn't exactly what I want it to be. So that can be done another time...for now this will work just perfectly for me to start up blogging on a regular basis! Jens is getting so big...I can't believe how fast time is going! It really is a bit scary when you think about how much they change in such a short period of time. Well on to the update we go. Enjoy! Weight/Height: I am not sure. Didn't track it! Sizes: He is still in a lot of 6-12 month clothing, but he can fit into some of the smaller 12-18 month clothes...most are still huge. He is still in Size 3 Pampers and probably will be for a lot longer, and he is on the largest setting for his newborn Kawaii Diapers and on the medium setting for our Flip Diapers. Routine: His routine is pretty good (We are still figuring out a perfect time for putting him down at night) 7:00/7:30am: Wake up for the day. I nurse him and then change him and then we just come hang out downstairs, this is when I would put him in his exersaucer or high chair so I can get my coffee. 8:00/8:30am: This is when he goes down for his first nap of the day. This is when I grab myself breakfast and get Isaiah some breakfast too. 9:30/10:00am: He wakes up and we head out the door to Parent Link for the day (not everyday...and I am actually gonna start going less now...cause everyday is just not working for me. Lol) I try to nurse him shortly after he wakes up and then this is also when he has his first solid feeding of the day. Sometimes oatmeal baby cereal (but I will be starting to make my own after I am through with this last box I bought) Or fruit of some kind. 11:30am/12:00pm: He may go down for a second nap of the day (this one is usually just a very short one, because we are coming home from Parent Link (another reason I want to stay home more...so he can be more rested in the day) 12:00pm: is usually his awake time I nurse him...we play and practice sitting/tummy time. This is where I might give him a little snack...some puffs, or mum mums or even some banana mashed into one of those mesh thingy's. 1:00/1:30pm: is his second (or third) nap of the day...yeah this is already sounding confusing...I will work on a better schedule for next month...even if that means me staying home more days of the week. 2:30/3:00pm: He wakes up I nurse him, and we hang out while Isaiah is still napping. He will have a little snack of some kind. 4:30/5:00pm: He is going down for his final nap. 5:30/6:00pm: He wakes up, I nurse him and then we sit at the kitchen table to have dinner. This is where he has his second solid meal of the day...and it's some kind of puree I made for him...veggies/fruit and meat. 7:30/8:00pm: Bedtime. If it is bath night (every second night) we will do that before 8 and then he is in bed for 8. I still nurse him to sleep (I didn't want to do this...but it works) 10:00pm: I dream feed him. I know I should be cutting this out soon, but it seems to work for us...I think once I get a more set in stone routine in the daytime he won't need to dream feed anymore..so I have some work to do this month with getting him on a better napping schedule. 2:00am: He most always wakes up for at least one feed this past month....sometimes he even wakes up twice. Sleeping: He loves his sleep...I am so happy that he figured out that nighttime is sleeping continually until we wake up in the morning. He still wakes up once or twice in the night for a feeding...but I think that has a lot to do with his poor napping routine during the day. I want to work on this so that he is napping 2 hour stretches instead of only an hour or less...But I can't complain about him only waking up once or twice...so lucky! Eating: He is Breastfed (that is going great) and he still loves to nurse...I am pretty sure that is all he thinks about. He is also on solids...He has about 2 servings of something a day. I make him baby food (but have used jars of baby food for some convenience at times) This is the brand I LOVE...in case you wanted to have some jars on hand for just in case as well Earths Best Organic Baby Food. Milestones: He is definitely changing at a rapid pace...
7 Months Postpartum: I am doing great. I would say my body is definitely back to normal...well it has been for a couple months now. My periods are still very random...sometimes I will go 2 months without having one. I will say though that my cramps (that come along with periods) are a lot less painful now. THM is going good, I have been trying to get back on plan for a while now...but I think I am finally back on or at least as close to plan as I can be at this point in my life. I am feeling so much more healthy now and enjoying life. I am starting to get some nesting done in my house (no not pregnant nesting) just that we will most likely be renting our condo for a couple more Years...so I want to start decorating and getting our bedrooms all under control and organized. I have some amazing things happening with my life and I actually feel so great right now...so happy...and just that my life is absolutely perfect right now. I LOVE my boys...and everything is just beautiful! Thanks for stopping by :) ...following my dreams...
