Things are going great with the baby. He is such a chill little dude. Of course, after having 2 extremely colicky little girls, anything would be better. But seriously, it's so nice not to have to hold him 24/7. I can put him down on his play mat, in the swing, in his crib, or basically anywhere else, and he's perfectly content. Half the time he'll end up falling asleep, which was unheard of with the girls. He hardly ever cries, only when he's really hungry. He doesn't fuss during dinner. Can you believe that? We can actually put him in his swing while the rest of us eat a hot meal! While of course he doesn't sleep through the night, he only wakes to eat (every 2-3 hours) and then goes right back to sleep. He's a chunky little guy. At his 2 week appt he weighed 9 pounds and the pediatrician said "well, we definitely don't have to worry about his weight." I feel so lucky to have a happy, healthy little baby. After what I went through while he was in utero, and not knowing his future, I make a point to remind myself every single day how fortunate I am and how special he is.
