Happy one month baby boy!!! It has been quite the first month. It has been so full of joy but it has been one of the hardest months of my life. I've been recovering, and recovering, and recovering. And I'm still recovering from his delivery. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be able to heal completely. The doctor had me follow up after 3 weeks to check on the progress of things and he was really happy with how things are healing. He was actually really shocked at how well and quickly I have been healing. I, however, don't feel like I've been healing quickly. I know it will take a lot more time than I anticipated. I hear about my sister-in-law's and friends after giving birth to their third and how much easier it was for them and how quickly they felt back to normal. I definitely don't feel that. I'm just finally starting to feel like my blood levels are getting back to normal let alone the tearing that happened. But I have hope that I will heal well after hearing from my doctor. First month down!
Ezra is such a special boy and sweet spirit. It is such a blessing to having a newborn in our home again. He has been a challenging baby though. From about week 2, he started getting really fussy. He cries all the time and he never sleeps. I worry that he is either sensitive to the milk proteins in my breast milk or has reflux...or both. I pray I don't have to eliminate dairy from my diet cause let's be honest, I love all things milk! Time will tell.
At one month, Ezra can already roll from belly to back, which makes tummy time complicated since he doesn't last more than a minute before flipping over. We are working on figuring out what is causing all the fussiness and I pray he will start to sleep better. I love newborn babies though. The first month is always hard, but it is my favorite time regardless of the challenges. Aben and Noah have been awesome too. They have adjusted so well! And they love their new brother.
Noah is finally starting to show some excitement and attachment to Ezra :)
First bath at home
Lots of snuggles with my sweet boy!
