Cass is a month old today! Here are some highlights of the previous month.
-We started Cass on Nutramigen and Zantac because he screamed for 2 days straight. Ever since then, my life has been a lot better.
-He eats all the time, just like Cole did at this age. At least 4 oz every 2.5 hrs or so, sometimes 2 hours. Sometimes I have to make him 2 more oz in an hour. It's nuts. His little belly isn't so little anymore.
-At 2 weeks he weighed 8 lb 13 oz.
-At 3 weeks he weighed 9 lb 12 oz.
-His belly button wasn't healing right so we had to go back tot he doctor to have them put silver nitrate on it. The doctor said his belly button was so deep air couldn't get to it, so it wouldn't heal. She said the silver nitrate would stain his belly button for a few months possibly. About a week after they treated it, a huge brown mark showed up underneath his belly button. I thought it was a birthmark but it showed up in a matter of hours so I was like, no way. It was a stain from the silver nitrate. Crazy.
-Getting 2 kids in and out of the car by yourself is a chore.
-Cole is such a good big brother.
-Cass' sleeping stinks at this point. We really want to figure out how to get him not to be wide awake in the middle of the night for hours at a time. It sucks.
-I swear Cass smiled at me at 3 am the other morning.
-Cass poops all the time. He has trouble pooping so he will stay awake for an hour straining and grunting and finally get it out. You change him and then 5 minutes later, he poops again.
-I have let Cass sleep in the bed with us some only because I get so desperate for sleep.
