Well it is wonderful that Max is already excited to run with his daddy and mommy.

We are very proud ot the fact that we have mastered the boogy situation. Ok, so here it goes.

1. Shoot breast milk up his nose or dab a little water in his nose.

2. Take a Q Tip and pull out the cotton into a point.

3. Take the Q Tip and put it up baby’s nose like you are fishing for a booger (don’t go too far in).

4. Let the point find the booger and drag it out.

5. Boogie should come out of the nose.

Max hates boogies because then he cannot sleep, eat or breathe. It makes things very difficult. Another trick in this house it to lean him over the humidifier and let him have a steam bath. So funny when you see a little fatty baby hanging over a humidifier.

As for me, the momma, I am doing better today. I think it is harder for me to deal with the postpartum weight than the pregnancy weight. But all for an amazing little bundle of JOY!!

I feel like I should not complain at all about the weight since I have this amazing littIe boy but it stinks. My hubby thinks I look great but I do not feel like I look good at all. I just need to have some acceptance and patience. UGH. Maybe tomorrow I will let go of this crap.

Max and I had such a great time playing and dancing in the snow. So here is a pictire of us taken by his Daddy.

Well a week and a half ago I started having Max sleep otally on his own. I knew it would mean less sleep for me but I was willing. I started sleeping him 5 ft away from me and he was waking ust like he was a little 3 day old baby.

Sleep went like this:

1 hour 15 mins

1 hours 45 mins

2 hours

2 hours 30 mins

But now sleep is like this:

Feed at 11:45 pm

Wake to feed for 5 mins at 2:45 am

Feed at 5:00 am

Wake at 7:30 am

YEAH!!!

A special thanks to Cec, http:://zia.blogs.com/wastedbirthcontrol/ for reminding me about swaddeling the baby. It is strange because Max hated to be swaddled but now he loves it and now he sleeps for a while because of it.

Also thanks to Little Liberal NYC Mama, http://littleliberals.com/blog/, for telling me to fill up Max’s tummy so he will sleep for a while because it works.

For Scott and I, we wanted Max to be able to sleep alone even though him sleeping on my belly or in my arms was delicious. Again, this was just for us as parents and in now way am I making any judgement about co sleeping with your child longer than 8 weeks.
