So, yeah...blogging with a newborn is not as easy as I had hoped it would be. I think what made it even more difficult was that two weeks after Carson was born, Adam and I closed on our first house, and moved less than two weeks later. Whew! I must have been crazy. Carson is now 5 1/2 weeks old (WHAT!?!) and we moved in last week, so life is starting to get a little calmer.
Carson is awesome! To see the changes in him day after day is so amazing. He is so attentive now and loves to look around at everything. He loves looking at Adam and me and makes the funniest faces. In the past week he's also started to get some babbles out. I think we're going to have quite the jabberer on our hands one day. Carson is getting great at tummy time and has so much neck strength already. He's great at holding his head up for extended periods of time. His sleep patterns are also getting a bit better. He goes down around 9pm at night and will sleep for four hours. After a diaper change and midnight snack, he goes back down for 2-3 hours. After another diaper change and snack, I can generally get him back to sleep for another hour. Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll be able to get a solid 6 hours of sleep in.
Carson is quite the eater and is putting on weight like a champ. At his pediatrician appointment the other week he weighed 8lbs, 10oz. That was a two pound gain in about 3 weeks. We have an appointment tomorrow and I'm anxious to see how much more he has gained. He also starts his immunizations tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to that...poor little man. On Friday I go to the doctor for my 6 week postpartum check-up. That means Saturday begins "Operation Get Pre-Pregnancy Body Back." I have about 7 lbs to go and LOTS of tightening up to do. I'm so excited to start working out again.
I promise to be better at this blog now and write more coherently in the future. Until then, here is loads of picture spam!!!
