Peanut's reached his fourth week of life and is starting to fill out nicely. He's no longer the little tiny bag of bones, he, in fact, has a double chin! Seeing him grow on breast milk really does make all the sleepless nights worthwhile. I think of BM as being the building blocks of his whole being.
He's no longer the baby that sleeps hours on end, no siree bob! He wakes up every 2 hours and sometimes 1 1/2 hours demanding a feed. However, he's developed a peculiarity whereby he demands a milkless breast to suckle on before gng to sleep. When none can be had, he'll cry like he's being tortured. Last night he was at it from 9pm - 1am. I was so exhausted...the neighbours must wonder what i do to the poor child. With ciku they hardly knew that there was a young baby in the house. This boy makes it known that he's in the house and that he's KING!
Im tired.
Been watching tons of TV including all those birthing stories. Saw a woman get an epidural and all the tools they use for a C-section. I am sooooo thankful that i've never had to resort to those things so far cos i was absolutely petrified by what i saw!!!! Scary, scary stuff.
Im also bored out of my mind. I have another month left before i go back to work and i wish i could go shopping n check stuff out, bt it's a hassle to do so with a young baby & i do not want to subject him to the germs that are out there. He has only had one shot, so those are things i worry about. *sigh*
