Postpartum Update – 4 Weeks

Can’t believe it’s been four weeks already! This means it’s been four weeks since I’ve slept because Isaiah is not up for sleeping unless someone is holding him. Everyone always talks about how terrible the newborn 2-3 hour schedule is tough and that sounds like a dream come true to me right now. Anyway this week we still didn’t do much but we did have our biggest outing yet to the aquarium and then to lunch. Elijah loved it and Isaiah slept the whole time.

Physical

Tired. So so tired. And I stink and look like a zombie cow. Hovering around the same weight and looking like I had a baby, but I did and that’s more than fine.

Breastfeeding

Sucks. It’s like I’m fighting with a newborn at every feeding. We started giving more bottles this week and he’s finally taking them just fine, and my milk is keeping up, and it’s such a relief to have that option.

Emotional

So in love with this little cutie, I can’t even really put it into words. He probably doesn’t sleep because I can’t put him down.

Life With Two

Its a pass the baby dance depending on who Elijah wants to hold the baby and he who he wants to play with. We are trying to get him out of the house more because he is getting so restless, and made it to the aquarium this week. I’ve been saying don’t run the dog over and get your hand out of the dogs butt more than I ever thought I would, but I think I would be saying that with just Elijah anyway.
