So the little baby boy we brought home from the hospital, the baby boy who was so content and slept no problem...He's gone. He left behind this adorable little baby boy who needs to be held, needs to have a suckie held in his mouth, won't sleep more than 2 hours at a time (at night) if he sleeps at all, has a pretty decent little temper on him, and spits up. A lot. It's a good thing he's as cute as he is, because at 3 o'clock this morning he was about 3 seconds from being moved into the shed. Nothing would make him happy or sleepy. He just wanted to be super snuggled with a suckie firmly held in his mouth. While I certainly love to snuggle my littlest baby (and my bigger ones too!!) I don't really want to do it at 3 o'clock in the morning for 3 or so hours. Seriously, I have my limits. I know he's still super fresh, not even three weeks old, but jeez, I'm tired man!! This little boy of mine also has an insatiable appetite. He's never satisfied. I can give him 3 oz of pumped breast milk, or 4, and he's still wanting more. I try to limit him to about 3 ish because he just throws it all up if he eats more. Also, he no longer enjoys being swaddled. We learned this on Thursday night. He had a near panic attack when we swaddled him up before bed. So, off came the swaddle blanket and the happy returned to the little man. However short lived it was.
Spencer and Liam on the other hand are doing really well. Liam seems to be settling down a little bit. He definitely needs some serious one on one time during the day. He got about an hour and a half, almost 2 hours of one on one time with mommy today. It did us both good!! He's a completely different boy when there's no one else around! Spencer has been needing naps every afternoon for the past few weeks. Apparently he's just as tired as his mommy and daddy are! It's hard work having a newborn in the house!
Anyway, Nolan is about to go to bed, so that means I'm about to go to bed!! Only to be back up again in 2 hours or less. Ahh the joys of a fresh fresh newborn!
