I had this written and ready to post on the 18th, but it just never happened. I knew it would be a CRAZY day, but I had no idea just how crazy it would be. The movers showed up early (thank goodness) and my dad got there shortly after that and we sit didn't get everything out by our 5 pm deadlines.
Then we didn't have internet for a week. It was scheduled to be hooked up on Saturday, the 19th, but the technician went to the neighbors house instead. I called every day and every time I was told that someone would call me later in the day to get it rescheduled. Never happened. Spectrum really needs to work on their customer service. Now that we finally have internet, I can post Jack's two month update.
Weight: 11 pounds, 15 ounces (25th percentile)
Length: 23 inches (53rd percentile)
Sleeping: I'd love to say that he was sleeping through the night (his sisters both did at 6 weeks), but he's not. Jack still sleeps quite a bit during the day, so he doesn't usually go to bed until 10:30 or 11. He then sleeps most of the morning, waking every 3-4 hours to eat. The longest he's slept is 5 hours and that's only happened a handful of times. I desperately need his bedtime to change now that David is back at work and can't stay up with him.
Also, we moved Jack to in his crib the night before david went back to work. The first week in the crib was pretty rough. He was waking up every two hours. I think this had to do with the fact that he had never really slept laying flat. We had him sleeping in a rock and play in our room at night. It's been couple of weeks and he's back to waking up only once at night.
Eating: He's still exclusively breasfed. He has successfully taken a bottle the few times that I have offered and a couple from Grandma and Papa. During the day he eats about every 3-4 hours. From 3-11, it's about every 2 hours and then back to every 3-5 hours over night.
Clothing: Mostly 0-3 months. He can still wear a few newborn onesies, but not any sleepers. Three month clothes are still a little big.
Diapers: Size 1
Milestones: Smiling (8/8), sleeping in his crib (8/9), cooing (8/11), first time being babysat by Grandma Kathy and Papa Dave (8/12), staying awake longer than an hour.
Eyes: They're turning brown. They were a grayish blue at birth.
Hair: His newborn hair is thinning and his new hair is starting to come in. It looks like he has a residing hairline. I think he will have brown hair like Kaitlyn.
Likes: Being held, his swing, eating. He's starting to enjoy laying on his playmat.
Dislikes: Being hungry, tummy troubles, and spitting up.
The Parents: We're (still) tired!! This past month has been CRAZY!! Between buying and selling houses, packing, moving, school starting (for David and Kaitlyn), and having a newborn who doesn't sleep through the night yet, we're not getting a whole of lot of sleep. Hopefully, we'll be better next month once we establish our new normal.
Mama: I'm doing well, though I still haven't lost all of my weight. I assumed that it would take longer this time, but really thought I'd be back to my pre prego size by now. (I was wearing my normal clothes just a week after Kaitlyn was born and a month after Madi.). Now that the move is behind us, it's time to get serious about losing these last few pounds and inches. Otherwise, I will not have any pants to wear. (I borrowed some shorts from my mom, but I won't be able to do that with pants.)
The Sisters: They are still obsessed with him. They are constantly kissing or touching him and wondering where he is. We don't worry about them being alone with Jack as much. They've learned to be gentler around him .
