hey everyone!
i can't believe we've all had our babies pretty much. so happy!
anyhoo, my boy is 5 weeks and 3 days old now and i was wanting to compare habits.
how long are your babies sleeping in a day? he does 2-3 hours at a time, with about a solid 2 hours of wakeup/play time every 8 hours.when he wakes up every 2-3 hours he's ready to eat! his play time consists of his bouncy seat, play gym, or just laying on the bed while i cover him in kisses and make dumb noises lol.
how much do your babies eat in a day? i'm supplimenting with formula *my milk production went south* so i get an idea of ounces from that, he does 4 ounces every 2-3 hours, sometimes a little less. we BF at night and in morning so i don't know exactly how much from that. but to me he seems to be eating a lot? not that i mind! i want a chunky baby
speaking of eating.. whats your babies weights like? he's about 13 lbs now.
whats your day like? we usually stay in bed til at least 11
i hate it i feel vampire-y but i am also just exhausted! we come out and play around the house, i clean.. he takes a nap in his bassinet, i eat if i am lucky lol, we take a walk from 7-8 pm everyday which he usually sleeps through.
i think thats about it.
i do have questions about the moms too!
how much weight have yall lost? i'm down 36 lbs from the 43 i gained. anyone resume DTD yet? we did at 3 weeks pp and its been fine. i do feel irked out by ANY touching of my boobs though.. i hope that goes away??
do you first time mamas feel like you're doing good? at being a mama i mean? i feel like i am. i think i could be more, i dunno.. interactive with him? i worry that i don't get enough play time in.. stimulation and stuff. sometimes he just doesnt seem interested, he'd rather sit up on my shoulder and look around than lay down in his gym and play with toys.
how are your DHs *or DPs* doing? mine is working everyday all day, from 9 am to 9 at night.. so i can be a SAHM. so we don't see him as much as we'd like. his day off every week is thursday. i spend most of the week making sure he sleeps and eats lol. i just don't want him to feel neglected. and also i want to make sure him and the baby spend time together.
i think thats about it. i wish i could post like i did when i was pregnant but as you all know.. the 5 minutes of free time here and there are better spent peeing without the babe in arms, or eating, or just taking a deep breath!
