Hello there,
(I did write this November 8th...and then lost track of time and didn't finish...so this is what I did write for his 4 Month Update...and I forgot a picture :( boo....slacking (But busy) mama) Well crazy to think that 4 Months has raced by. We are so in love with this little person and feel so blessed to have him in our life. Just today we were saying how Just over 2 Years ago we didn't have any children...and now we have 2 beautiful little men <3 Life is seriously so sweet! Well they weren't lying when they said 3 Months was the hardest...I don't remember it being hard with Isaiah (I am sure I felt like it was...but now I can't imagine how easy life was with just one child) lol. It has been an adjustment period that's for sure...but I can honestly say from deep down that things are finally feeling normal. Jen's is in a nice routine, and Isaiah is used to his brother staying here for good :) It's also really cool because he is at the age now where he is learning so much and starting to communicate with us...we can start to read the signs of what he needs/wants. He is becoming more and more fun...and less fragile. Hehe. Anyways here is his update... Weight/Height: Sorry didn't track. Routine: 7:30am: This is usually wake up time...give or take a half an hour. We wake up...we come downstairs, change his diaper, get him in an outfit and then he nurses. 8:40am: Change his diaper. He get's dressed up in his snowsuit (or sweater depending on the weather outside) and I put him in his carseat and give him his soother...he falls asleep instantly. 9am-11am: His first nap taking place while we are at Parent Link so his big brother can play. 11:10am: We get home give him a diaper change and he nurses. 12:30/1:00pm: Change his diaper. He goes down for his second nap of the day. This one usually only lasts 1-1.5 hours. 2:30pm: Change his diaper. Then he nurses. I then put him down for some playtime while his Brother is still napping so I can finish up chores. He then stays up for a few hours. He may go down for a third nap anywhere between 4 and 5pm. Sleep for 45 minutes and then stay up until bedtime. Which is 7:30/8pm. 8pm: Every 2nd night is Bath night ;) 8pm is usually Bedtime. I nurse him to sleep at bedtime (this is the only time he get's nursed to sleep in the day) It takes him a little bit to fall asleep. 10/11pm: I go into his room and dreamfeed him. Don't change him just pick him up and nurse him :) 2am: Now nighttime isn't completely on schedule yet...sometimes he wakes up at 12am, sometimes 2am, sometimes 3am...etc. But usually on average he wakes up at 2am for his first night feed. I then change his diaper and feed him. Jayden usually changes his diaper...and I feed him :) Wonderful Husband :) 5am: This one is sometimes a little annoying. He wakes up for his second feed (sometimes he skips this feed...most times he doesn't) Then he doesn't wake up again until we get up in the morning 7:30 ish. So yeah this is pretty much our schedule/routine during the day/night. We have our days where he is just fussier than normal or our nights where he wakes up 4 times...that is life. But for the most part I am super happy with how things have fallen into the order that they have. I feel rested. I feel happy. I feel grateful for this little person. Thanks for stopping by...sorry for the lack of an update. ...following my dreams... -Cynthia
