Had Little Man's 4 month check-up yesterday
although he's 4 months old today...
length: 26 and a quarter inches
weight: 16 lbs 4 oz (so he's less than 2 lbs away from doubling his birth weight)
head circumference: 42
that puts him in the 75% percentile though they said his length might be a lil off since he was squirming.
I didn't like the nurse who gave him his shot though
too hungry to write right now...

proud mommy day
Little Man rolled all the way over today... he's been rolling from his back to his side for a month or more but he would always get pissed off before he actually got all the way over onto his stomach.
once on his tummy he seemed very nonchalant about the whole thing but i was VERY excited :>:>:>

re: giving Little Man formula for the 1st time yesterday
Little Man was born July 13th so he's over 3 months, specifically he's 14 weeks and 1 day old.
Breast-feeding has been going very well, at his 2 mnth appt he was in the 95 percentile re: weight and height.
Yesterday I was bfing him about every 1.5 hrs for at least 15 minutes and he had an extended 45 min feed at 3 p.m.
we left him with Mom at 4:30 and she fed him 7 oz at 6 p.m. and 7 oz at 9:45 p.m. (those were formula feedings) then I fed him for 15 mins at 12:20 a.m. and then at 1 he was still up and wanted a bit more so I fed him a 5 min "snack" feeding adn then we all went to bed.
Normally he eats about every 3 hrs if he's feeding for at least 15 mins but with the teething, grumpiness, sleep sked fucked up etc... he's been wanting to be on the boob a LOT more

Current mood: satisfied
mom stuff
so i am awake still...
feeling really rundown today but still in good spirits.
everytime I look at Little Man I am utterly amazed at how strong and smart he is! And he is almost always SO happy and I want to do my best to help him stay that happy for the rest of his life.
I always imagined how much I'd love my children when I would someday have them but it wasn't even close to the way I feel... my love for my son blows what I had imagined I'd feel out of the water with the intensity of it all.
:>

What Little Man gave his Daddy for his Bday
Today DS turned 30.
Today marked the supreme champion in worst poop ever... DS was holding a grunting and red-faced Little Man who proceeded to expell a golf-ball sized poop out of the leg of his diaper and onto DS's arm PLUS filling his entire diaper.
then, he grinned, alot, until we had to change his outfit.
It is friggin HOT in here, we may be turning around and heading to Mom's for the night
*wipes away sweat*

Current mood: warm
Wow, a moment of peace
The wee one is sleeping. He had a busy day today. At his 1 month appt at the DR we learned that he is now 11 lbs even and is 23 and a half inches long. At birth he was 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long (i think... I may need to re-check his length).
DR believes Little Man is allergic to SOMETHING that I eat re: his super-green, super-stinky poos and his nasty gas following every feeding.
For me... I am starting to feel a lot better. At the time of his birth I was approx 265 lbs and I am now down to 229 lbs.

Quick update while Little Man is sleeping
Hey :>
He is eating like a FIEND!!!!!!!! draining both breasts at all his feedings today... arrgh, it's kinda uncomfy and tiring but good because I swear he's even bigger than he was at his check-up last wk.
Last Thurs he was at our new DR and he was 9 lbs 4 oz and was 22 inches long. He seriously looks and feels bigger/heavier already :>

So Little Man is only waking us up once in the middle of the night.
The hospital was a big pain in the ass on the whole "You must wake your baby at least every 3 hrs and force them to eat so they will be on a schedule".
Screw that... it was unsuccessful in hospital and I did try it the 1st night we were home and it sucked!
Instead, I just let him sleep and when I hear him squirming, I get him up and see if he wants to feed. If he doesn't... then DS sees if he needs a change. If it's neither, we cuddle for a bit and then back to bed he goes. It's much simpler and easier on us all this way.
So far Little Man's sked seems to be as follows: He wakes us up once in the middle of the night to feed (usually around 4:30 a.m.) then he'll sleep for 3 - 4 hrs between feedings until around 1 p.m. then in the afternoon he'll wake and want to feed about every 2 hrs until around 7 or 7:30 p.m. and then it's back to 3 - 4 hrs between feedings.
He tends to get over-stimulated when he's being passed around from various visitors so I am going to get a lil hardcore about rules for visiting with the baby.
Rule #1 Let sleeping babies lie. Do NOT pick him up or try to wake him when he is sleeping.
#2 If you want to hold him, hold him for awhile... don't play pass the baby as if you were in kindergarten playing "Hot Potato"
#3 Don't smoke near the baby EVER (this one everyone has been good about so far, but I haven't seen my chain-smoking grandparents yet)
#4 Don't be afraid to cuddle him. Some ppl seem to hold him out at arm's length and it makes both of them uncomfy and tense. If you are afraid to hold the baby, don't feel pressured to hold the baby.
#5 Mommy is very tired... if you are holding him and don't want to change a stinky diaper... ask Daddy to do it :>

1st day home
@ 2002-07-16 18:34:00
Current mood: exhausted/happy
I am sore.
Had my staples (all 26 of them) removed before I was released today... found out that my GP has left the country and I have no actual DR for myself or Little Man because Dr. K... the f*cking c*nt... didn't inform any of her patients that she was leaving. Since I've been going to only the OB for the last while, I don't even know when she fucked off but I'm stressed about it.
I still look rather preggers and am I ever sore and tender.
I had Little Man by emergency C-section and it looks like if I want to continue living that this was my one and only baby. But he's SO adorable!!!

Auntie Siren posting for Momma again...
I'm on the phone with Momma now...her direct quote "someone kill the screaming baby next door, it's driving me crazy". Just for reference, I can hear the baby through the phone and it's REALLY loud and has been going on for 20 minutes.
Little Man is already able to hold his headup on his own. During my visit yesterday, he was alos able to roll on to his side and back on his own. Strong little dude! The nurses are all impressed with his strength. Personally, Momma thinks he is only holding up his head in order to shoot dirty looks at the screaming baby next door :>
He is already displaying his distinct stubborn personality (inherited from his oh so stubborn mommy), and has mastered the grinning one-eyed pirate face.
Pain killers are Momma's friends and her staples should be coming out today or tomorrow.
Much love to you all!
