So yesterday marked Nolan's 1 month birthday! Can you believe it? I can't. It honestly seems like he was born last week!! I hate how fast time is flying by. It's so sad that babies don't stay babies for very long. He's changed so much in the past month. We've completely stopped trying to nurse. Completely. I can say now I hate breastfeeding. I have no problem pumping and feeding him, so that's a good thing. He's still getting the all important breast milk, just not from my breast. No biggie! He's happy, I'm happy. Life is good!
This little bug is still not a super fantastic sleeper. I guess my ideas of a good sleeper are a little off because Spencer and Liam were both formula babies so they slept longer right off the bat. Spencer was a 5 hour stretch sleeper right from the day he came home from the hospital. Liam started sleeping in 5 hour stretches at about 2 weeks. Nolan. Well Nolan is a 2.5-3 hour stretch. Last night he blessed us with a 3.5 hour stretch, however that is definitely not the 'norm'.
The big boys are still head over feet in love with their new baby brother! Liam was really cranky for the first week or so we were home from the hospital, but he's over it now! He loves to help feed, change and love on the baby!! I love watching how excited he is to see the baby!! Spencer is sooo fantastic with Baby Nolan. He'll sit and talk to Nolan for quite a while, he gives him his suckie when he's fussing, he brings diapers and all kinds of things he thinks will help keep the babe happy. He's always wanting to hold Baby Nolan and feed him!! I hope his enthusiasm continues!
A month post birth I'm doing quite well. I'm extremely tired, but that goes with the territory. I'm getting control over my temper again. This is good!! Poor Spencer and Liam dealing with my extreme crabby-ness. The happy is returning to the house and that's a good thing!!
