Life Wih Spencer

Life with the new little one is fun and exciting. We have been having some interesting times for the last week and a half.

First of all last tuesday, Three days after he was born we went and saw the doctor and he was circumcised. So that night and the whole next day he was screaming everytime he peed and pooped and when i changed his diaper. He hardly slept and was constantly wanted to eat So i was tired and sore from him. But i did have some infant Ibprofen that i gave to him that i didnt have to give anymore after about midnight the night of his screaming.

Breastfeeding has been interesting and hard. But we have been successful wich i am greatful for. I even have some extra that i have been pumping off once and a while for when we want to go somewhere and have someone watch him and also for when the first time he gets sick because apparently this first milk has the most antibodies. I pumped some and stuck it in the freezer in a bag until then.

He sleeps about 3 to 4 hours then eats and change his diaper sometimes we have to change his diaper a couple times. Some people say it smells bad. actually i barely even smell it. Its what it looks like that makes it so gross. Its like a mustard consistancy. Its gross. I swear he poops like 50 times a day.

Also minday we had a nurse come and check on how he was doing and i. She weighed him and he weighed 8lbs 9oz. He has gained almost a whole pound since he was born. What a pig!!! He no longer wears neborn diapers because they just dont hold his loads. so we have him in ones. He wore newborns for a week. My baby is growing so fast.

The otherday when i was up with him in the middle of the night. I was looking at him and noticed that his cheeks were chubbier and he was getting longer. I was freaking out cause this wasnt what my baby looks like, not yet. Its too soon. Wow dont the hormones really go crazy after you give birth, The last week has been a roller coaster. One minute ill be on top of the world then the next ill be crying my eyes out. But only a couple times i actually was thinking negative thoughts. Then i just put him down or gave him to william and walked away for a few and i was fine.

So all is good. Having fun playing and learning from my baby.
