I CANNOT believe Nash will be one month old this Thursday! He's a really good baby - even sleeping 3-4 hr. stretches. However, he still REFUSES to sleep on his back - I mean he wakes up in 2-5 minutes totally ticked at the world and it takes another hour to get him back to sleep. So, the medical community may shake its finger at me, but he is a tummy sleeper. We just turn on the SIDS monitor (it is a monitor that sounds an alarm if he quits moving or breathing for 20 seconds), turn on the ceiling fan, and say a little prayer - God has given me peace about this. He will sleep in the bassinet now, which is a relief, b/c I pretty much didn't put him down the first 3 weeks of his life. Oh well - so he's a little spoiled! We'll cross that bridge another day! Nash was having a few reflux issues so we started him on some medication and that seems to be getting better. Needless to say, there are towels on the couch where I sit to nurse him b/c he has christened it a few times. But as you will see by the pictures, the reflux was in no way affecting his weight gain. He is growing so fast and according to my scale at home, over 10 lbs. now. Overall, he is doing great and we are loving having him around!
We have been so blessed by our friends and family as well. My mom came back last week and stayed a few days. I cannot even tell you how much it helped to have her around - she changed diapers, cooked, cleaned, rocked him to sleep so I could nap - PRICELESS. Friends from church bring meals every other day - I think that will continue to almost April. God has been good to us in every way. Please enjoy the pictures below. My step-dad gave us one of his old photography cameras, so we're playing with it and trying to figure it out so maybe we'll have some artistic masterpieces to share with you soon.
Tootsie is starting to get used to him.
Seconds before he christened the couch again.
He loves his Aunt Casey
Sweet feet
Look at those arm rolls!
Both Branson and Ella were tummy sleepers and have done fine with it. It sounds like you've taken all the necessary precautions so no worries from me. ;) Glad y'all are doing well. Keep those pictures coming!
