My life in rambles
David and I are wrapping (rapping??? Darn you morning brain!) up his birthday weekend today. We both took the day off to do as we please. What are we going to do today? David is going to take pictures of a golf course and I’m going to work so Gabriel can see Auntie Jennie.
His morning nap falls around the time that we decided to leave so he can sleep in the car. He won’t sleep if mommy is sitting in the back with him… unless he’s holding onto my finger and I sing to him.
{Oh my, time flies. Gabriel turned a month over a month ago. I never did give myself a chance to post his update. This was originally set to post February 10,2011.}
At one month baby was:
WEIGHT: 10lbs 11oz
HEIGHT: 21 & 3/4 inches
TEMPERMENT: Pretty chill baby only if changed, fed and put down for a nap within two hours. Any longer and he gets really cranky.
It was hard to get him to breastfeed the first week of life. He scared us to death the day he came home from the hospital. He decided he was going on a hunger strike for over 12 hours. Imagine coming home exhausted, physically and emotionally, in tremendous pain and not being able to feed your child the way you wanted to.
I set myself for failure because I was under educated and misinformed by a slew of people at the hospital.
Anyway, Gabriel is eating like a champ from his bottle and sleeping well some nights.
Recovery from the C Section was awful. I woke every time the baby moved so I didn’t get any sleep. I’m pretty sure I suffered from postpartum for the first month.
Even though those few things didn’t work out as I planned it my baby turned out healthy and he is a dream.

I live to see this little formula face everyday. So much so it makes me want to cry. (Thanks hormones!)
