Colin is already four weeks old. Insane. I feel like I was just in the hospital being induced but a month has passed already. How crazy my life has changed. I went from worry about what outfit I would be wearing to what cute outfit my son can wear. I wear sweatpants, and dont always wash my hair. But I wouldnt trade it for anything. I just love him more than anything. My family of four is everything I could have ever wanted.
The whole point I made this blog, was to tell my Journey becoming a mother, and what life is like as a mommy. So here are some things you never hear about:
-You are never told about "growth spurts", they are the devil to a new mom. If you are breast feeding, you truly feel like a milk maid, all they do is eat, he was normally eating every 3 hours, when Colin went through his gorwth spurt he ate every hour, and all he did was cry cry cry cry, I did not sleep for 5 days. You think its never going to end, you become depressed, and you think youre a terrible mom. Then one day, its back to normal. As if it never happened. I promise, itll go back to normal. I did some reading on them, and they happen several times throughout the first year.
-Projectile Vomit, your baby wont die. lol The first time Colin projectiled, I freaked out. It was pouring out of his nose and shooting out of his mouth. I had the exorcist as a child.
-Gas. My current situation. Not sure if its gas, or if its acid reflux. Hopefully I find out tomorrow at his four week appointment. My poor muffin man, he eats, then he cries and cries like the growth spurt, but not really. Once he throws up, fart, poos or burps he stops. It really is terrible, theres nothing I can currently do to make him feel better. Night time is the worst. I cant get him to sleep, and I get so upset. I cry, I yell, I curse & feel like a terrible mom. But Im not. I know Im not. I am a good mom. Im the best mom I currently can be, and every day I get better and better. I can't get any worse (I hope) ;-)
Its amazing to see him growing right before my eyes. He now plays in his play gym, and just today was groping the dangle toy on his car seat. He smiles, he stares at his momma, and his daddy. He is starting slowly to become a little man. He loves being held, but some days, just wants to sit in his nap nanny and not be bothered. He loves watching TV and sucking on his paci. I am try to get him to nap in his crib, but I just like looking and cuddling him so much its hard.
He has his four week appointment tomorrow Ill update with pictures and weight and such then. :)
