No sleep for new mom
Mood:  don't ask
I haven't slept since I got back from the hospital. Noah is now 2 weeks and 1 day old. He is getting bigger and gaining weight. He must be close to 7 lbs now. We take him to the doctor this coming Tuesday for a checkup. In the meantime I've had to heal pretty quickly from my c-section because there is no one else around to help. So I'm very exhausted, but still very happy to have my baby. Lately I think he's going through his first growth spurt because he can't seem to get enough milk! He's also been very cranky but I think that's because of gas problems. We bought the Mylicon drops for that but want to ask the doctor first before giving it to him. This weekend is going to be beautiful and warm so we'll take him out for a nice walk and get some sunshine.

I'm so in love!!

Noah is sleeping on my chest right now while I'm writing this. He is so small, yet he's growing everyday. Today he put his tiny right thumb in his mouth and started sucking it. He was hungry. And when I placed him on his stomach for his daily exercise, he lifted his little head all the way! My baby is growing up, lol!!
I'm healing pretty good. Just my breasts are sore from using the pump everyday. But I do want to continue giving him breastmilk. My stomach is shrinking as each day passes by, thank God, but where they did the c-section on the bikini line is still swollen. I know that one is going to take several weeks to heal. And I didn't even get a chance to rest. No one is here to help me, hubby has to work all day. But I know the first couple of months will be like this. In the mean time I'm enjoying my baby Noah's funny faces and watching him sleep like an angel, when he dreams he smiles the sweetest smile. I also love how he cries, it's very soft almost not a cry at all. Like a baby goat, lol! I don't know if it'll get stronger and louder or if it will remain like that. Time will only tell. I think he's looking like my hubby as each day passes by. He's 1 week and 1 day old today.
