Well, good afternoon! I've named this post Parenting 101 because I've gotten so much advise from...well, basically everyone. I don't know even what to think about it! As a first time mom (FTM) you hear so many things you should do and shouldn't do and usually you'll hear that same advise in reverse, which does nothing but make you think you're crazy. I've been just trying to do the best thing for our son and our family.
Our biggest currently hurdle is "falling asleep." Sweet baby boy is really a good baby...he just loves to be held and rocked/bounced/swung to sleep. This is something we are trying to change and it's been tough... I'll update on how it's going next post. Other than that Emil is on a pretty good feeding schedule that he's actually set for himself. He eats every 3 hours during the day and during the night it's about every 3-4ish...last night it was longer. I'm keeping up with him on this during the day but let him sleep as long as he wants at night. I don't care that he doesn't sleep through the night...I just want him to fall asleep easily (which he does during the night...but not always during the day).
Enough about that, let me get to the good stuff! I absolutely love being a mom...not just being a mom...being Emil's mom. He's such an absolute joy...he's so precious. I love his little smile, his voice and everything about him. He's so darn cute! Don't you agree? :) I had my 6 week check up this week and I'm doing good:) I'm 5lbs away from PPweight (which I was annoyed by but have basically decided it's my boobs! lol).
Well, sorry it's so short but I have to run!! I'll post more later:)
