Hudson turned one month old on June 9th! I took him to the dr on June 14th. Here are his stats:
Weight: 12lbs 2 oz (87%)
Height: 23-1/4 " (87%)
Head circ: 16-1/4" ( 94%)
Hudson got diagnosed with acid reflux because he screams a lot after evening feedings and spits up a ton. I don't like putting my baby on medicine, but the doctor recommended Zantac. He is now on a small dose and doing so much better! He still screams in the evening, but it's a lot better.
Hudson started sleeping in his room at three weeks. He now naps in there too if we're at home. He slept 6 hrs between feedings twice now at night! Getting him on a routine has been harder than both our other kids. It's been a difficult month, but we're definitely seeing progress. We're trying to stay on this routine, but there have been a couple of growth spurts along the way:
2nd - 10:30am nap at 11:30am
5th - 6:00 pm awake
6th - 8:00pm bed
7th - 1:00 am
8th - 6:00 am
I have to have him on a routine because his schedule has to match up with the other two busy kids. It's crazy around here!
Big boy is really starting to smile more (still randomly) and look around at his surroundings. He hears everything. His poor hair is starting to fall out on top. His balding looks like an old man! But he's still cute!
Roman and Carmen are not jealous of Hudson at all. They have completely accepted him into our family. They just get a little jealous of my time. It is so hard to juggle three kids' attention! I nurse him a lot during the day and each feeding takes 30-45 minutes. I'm ready for those to get shorter! I've nursed him everywhere! The mall, standing up in stores, the doctor's office, cars, etc. (I'm covered up of course!) We're on the go a lot and he must stay flexible! He's had a couple tries with formula at the end of the night (dessert bottle), but he'll only take about an ounce.
Hudson, we love you so much. We can't imagine life without you now! You are an amazing gift from God and we feel so blessed to be your parents!
