Loving: Sam loves to be held. I could hold him all day and night and Sam would be his happiest. I love snuggling his warm chunk - but sometimes I have to put him down. He loves to be outside at all times…especially if it's cool out. Baths are another favorite along with his swing.
Not loving: Sam is not a fan of his car seat…he has to be in a really good mood to enjoy it. But most times, he's not a fan I don't blame him - he looks uncomfortable most of the time in it…I even removed the newborn insert for him, which made it a little better for him.
Sleep: We have a schedule at the moment: Wake around 6:30am then back to bed around 8:00. He'll nap until about 11. Then nap again at 1:00. Most nights we start his bath around 7 and he's sleeping by 8:00. Sam just started falling asleep on his own. I put him down awake, which he then starts cooing and smiling at me…making it oh so hard to walk away. But I know it's good for him. He's back up around 11, then 1, 3, 5…then 6:30. It's hard, I'm not going to lie. Some nights are so different though - only waking twice…but most are every two hours. When he wakes - it's pure hunger. I try to keep him alter and eating during his feedings but it hasn't changed his wake ups. He's happy at night, which makes it less painful, I guess. But he's 8 weeks old - these "phases" don't last forever…or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
Eat: Breastfeeding on demand. During the day it's about every 4-5 hours and at night it's every 2. Sam is doing a lot better taking a bottle - which is great seeing I'll be at a wedding Saturday night.
Life: Life with two is busy, but I wouldn't change it for anything. I still can't believe I'm a mother of two. It sounds crazy when I say it. But I'm looking forward to the future and watching my two boys grow up together.
