Sorry it's been a while...adjusting to motherhood has been more difficult and time consuming than I imagined! Last week was my first week by myself. Zach went back to work and the grandmas went home. :( It was rough but Isaac and I managed to survive. This week has been better.
Isaac is a spitter/puker. Everytime I feed him, he manages to spit up a good portion of it. The volume of spit up was much more last week and he really had me worried. However, when I took him to the doctor on Monday he weighed 9 pounds, 4 ounces so the doctor is not concerned. My baby is over 9 pounds in 3 weeks! Isaac has gained more than 2 pounds since we arrived home from the hospital. That is incredible! He will soon be out of newborn diapers and has already outgrown a few of his onesies.
I am finding that my only job is to care for Isaac. I am lucky to get lunch and really lucky if I get a shower during the day. Isaac has his nights and days turned around to an extent. This week we are working on keeping him awake during the day so he will sleep better at night. Currently he eats about every 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours so I get about 2 hours of sleep at a time. Zach helps out when he can. I try not to wake him in the middle of the night because he needs his rest for work.
The pictures below are from Isaac's first weeks and the last ones are from today. He has really grown and has changed a lot in the short time we have had him home. We hope to see everyone soon!
