Hello, Well we have reached the 2 Months Old mark. Jens turned 2 Months on the 9th...Life is so great, and it's exciting watching him grow before our eyes! Time really does fly! Weight/Height: Jens got his shots on September 12th and it went really well, he cried, got really red in the face...I nursed him right afterwards and he was totally fine. Such a little Champ! Jens weighs 11 lbs 2 oz and measures 22.5 inches Sizes: At 2 Months he fits 0-3 Months clothing (2-4 Months in H&M) I don't think he will be in this size long though, as he is just fitting his sleepers with very little room to stretch out. He is still in Size 1 Pampers. But we use cloth diapers for 90% of the time. We just bought some newborn Kawaii diapers and LOVE them...I highly recommend them. We have 20 newborn ones and I honestly wish I had 10-20 more...but we are doing great with keeping up with using cloth. He is still on the small setting for the newborn diapers...but he will be on the small setting for not much longer (these diapers fit 6-22 lbs and have 3 settings) so he will fit these for a very long time. Routine: We are definitely getting more and more into a routine and this is something I am so happy about. I think we are pretty much on babywise...but I do need to sit and re-read the book to get a refresher so we can really start applying more of a schedule in our life. 7am - 8am: This is when we wake up...it usually ends up being around 7:30 every Morning...this works wonderfully for me. Because Jayden wakes up at 6:30-7:00 and has his morning coffee/tv time then he showers and helps me bring the kids downstairs. Jens get's changed and I nurse him right when we come downstairs. He still nurses every 2-3 hours during the day. He is having longer awake periods too...I will start writing down his eat/sleep periods so I can give more of a schedule...but this next month we will be working on babywising him :) 9pm-10pm: This is when we put him down for the night. He still has his fussy time in between 6:30-8:30 (so we can usually calm him down by 9...when he has been goes to sleep) We still don't have the second monitor but hopefully we will have it soon, so we can bring him upstairs and put him in the cradle then go spend time together...without kids! haha! Sleeping: I am so happy to report that this baby sleeps amazingly! So blessed and Thankful for this. We put him down for the night in between 9pm-10pm (this will change once we get the second monitor because he is pretty much ready for sleep at like 8pm everynight) He wakes up twice in the night! So I dream feed him when we go to sleep at about 10:30pm-11pm! Then he wakes up in between 2am-3am and again at 5am-6am. But like I said we are gonna work more on a schedule in our life. So my ideal would be (Go to sleep 8pm, dream feed 10pm, first night feed 1am, second feed 4am wake up 7am) That would be awesome if we can get to that :) Jens is a tummy sleeper...and he sleeps for longer periods when we put him on his tummy for sleep. Eating: Jens is 100% breastfed :) That is going great! Still nursing on one side per feeding session. Love this! Milestones: There isn't really many new things.
There are somedays that are a lot tougher than others, having 2 babies under 2 Years old. Isaiah challenges me a lot as a Mother, he gets into everything...and I am learning that I need to be very patient with him, also that he needs lots of attention to. He is a Mama's boy just like Jens, so this is sometimes tough to be able to juggle many tasks at once...I am a Mother after all though and I guess things like this just come naturally. I am learning how to do it though, and I am at the point where I have figured out how to go out and run errands with the two of them. So bring it on...I can do anything. Lol. I Love being a Mom and I cannot imagine life without my boys. So that being said I FEEL GREAT! ...following my dreams...
