1 Month!!!

again, I am a little late.. we should just accept that I will most likely do these posts well after the actual time. :)
so Charlie-man turned 4 weeks old Friday, June 19th and a month old Monday, June 22 :)

1 Month Recap:
Weight: Gained 4 pounds
Went to: dog park, doctor, grocery, home depot, target, Nanna and Pop's house
Features: skeptical look, giggles and disgusted sound
Sleeping: if we're not gassy, we sleep 9pm-1/2am-5am-7am! Momma gets some good sleep
Eating: on average we eat 27oz per day with a boobs at night

We just started seeing things and are very interested in the world. We love to pull on daddy's glasses, momma's necklace and anything else within our reach. We still love the wubbanub and hate being cold.

We spend most of our days snuggling momma and plotting ways to keep her next to me.

So Charlie-man is 3.5 weeks old now! Time is flying
This last week was pretty rough. Charlie got super gassy and fussy - hubster and I were at our wits end.  The pediatrician said it sounded like a milk-allergy and for me to cut out all dairy. All I eat is dairy :( That solved it though. Charlie is back to normal!

Charlie
9 pounds :) little man eats very well!!
Eating: 3-5oz per sitting to a total of ~25-30oz per day! no wonder little chunk is putting on the weight!
Sleeping: we had a rough patch with the milk allergy, but the last 2 nights are back to normal. I go to sleep around 9ish and hubby feeds Charlie around 11pm and 2am, then I feed him around 4:30am and 8ish. I get 2 solid 4+ hour blocks of sleep. it's amazing.
Firsts:

• "walg"- walk/jog in stroller
• staying home with daddy ALONE for 2+ hours
• trip to home depot

Mom
I gained 2 pounds this week. I haven't been able to work out and haven't been sleeping. None of these are good for my waist-line. ugh. I have about 15 pounds to lose now- super depressing. I don't even want to work out.

I will make a post soon on first month baby survival gear. There were definitely things that we needed to survive these last few weeks. I cannot believe my handsome little man is almost a month old.

2 weeks post partum

So, it's actually 2.5 weeks.. lol. like you're surpised at my punctuality. 

Charlie
Officially almost 8 pounds!
We survived growth spurt #1- it lasted from 8 days old to 11 days old. I thought we were all going to turn into Jack Nicholson from the Shining.

crazy eyes anyone?

after the spurt was finished little man has gone from 6 pounds something to 7 pounds. That atleast made it feel a little worth it. 

We are officially out of newborn diapers and now into size 1. We have some leaking issues with every brand we have tried- Charlie has daddy's chicken legs. :)

1) Eating- little man eats 2-5oz per session (every 1-3 hours). he's an eating machine. hence the weight gain. 

2) Sleeping- I get to sleep 9pm to 4am every night. it's pretty good. sometimes I get to go back to sleep from 4:30-8ish. As we enter the 18 day old growth spurt I see that not happening. :(
3) Firsts-

• walk around the park
• doctor visit
• trip to Pop and Nanna's house
• bath (oh did that go bad. REALLY bad.)

Mom
Recovery is going well :) I can pee without it stinging! victory. stitches are still in there though. I want to get back into a workout routine.

I am down 15 pounds, still have ~10 to lose. they are coming off slow and I am STARVING all the time.
