1st Month

Wow- I am a slacker and I still haven't figured how to work this the way I want to yet. Anyway a lot has happened since last post. I had baby Hatcher on March 9th. He was 12 days late but worth the wait. He is such a joy! The first 2 1/2 months he was such an easy baby. He would fall asleep wherever I took him. He didn't have colic or acid reflux. We were so lucky.
Greg took off to Alaska when he was 2 weeks old for 3 whole weeks. That was crazy. I think I went 4 days without showering one time. I didn't worry about cleaning the house. My only concern was Hatcher (and pretty much still is :)  I have so much respect for single moms. I have no idea how they survive.

Hatcher loves his Binky. Probably because we always are shoving it in his mouth. He loves to breastfeed now that we got the hang of it. He started smiling around 2 1/2 weeks and hasn't stopped. He coos and laughs all the time. He sleeps 7-9 a night. Sometimes waking up to feed once. He is the sweetest baby I have every met. We are so lucky to have a happy, healthy baby.
Don't get me wrong, it was an adjustment. Breastfeeding was super stressful at first. I went to 3 lactation consultants just to get on the right path. It is super hard to make anytime for yourself. If you do, you feel guilty (or I did). But in the end I would not trade my life with anyone. He is my world, my life and my love!
