Sora is a perfect baby, she smiles, she coos, she's so adorable.
She sleeps 5-6 hours at night, I'm told I'm lucky. She hardly cries longer then 5 mintues cuz mamas' decoding her behavior.
Fussy grunting = wet diaper
Sad face + crying out = hold me
Head turned to a side + sucking face = feed me
Tantrum crying = burp me
She has baby acne and excema which seems to be going away.
She's started smiling and "talking" to us. When we repeat what she says back she gets excited, smiles and kicks. It's pretty adorable & rewarding.
I had no idea how much of a 24 hour job a baby is. Taking care of a baby is HARD WORK! Waking up for 5am feedings, getting sleepy by 8pm, finally crashing out by 10. Sometimes I have no idea what day of the week it is, or what the date it is. There is more laundry then ever before, cooking is pretty much never happening on my part.
It's hard to make time for myself even to take a shower or brush my teeth. James took me out on a date one night, he found a babysitter (so weird to say "babysitter") We watched 'Iron man2' and had dinner at Outback. I had a margerita on the rocks! I drank very slowly, I didn't know how tipsy I'd get, or worse, fall asleep. We had three hours to ourselves , and it was wonderful. I did start to worry if she was doing alright. We picked her up and she was good! No crying :)
As she is getting older (haha 2 months is 'old) its easing up. I'm getting the hang of every wimper and getting more rest :)
We changed our pediatrician too, our old one didn't allow us to ask questions, hurried through the exam and was quick to prescribe meds for acid reflux for our babys 'spit up' ( reading on the internet ALL babies spit up, sometimes its alot sometimes its not). Her accent was just way to heavy to understand and James hated her office staff.
Our new Dr (we didnt get to be seen by him because he is booked weeks in advance, but was seen by his nurse practitioner omg who was day and night compared to Miss Russia) was so incredibly friendly! Spent a lot of time asking questions, asked us if we had questions. We felt more comfortable right away. Oh and the people in the waiting room were even friendly and chatty lol. They were discussing their baby blogs too, haha, James thought I was the only one who wrote a blog :D
Sora was updated with 2 shots (I almost started crying) and the nurse put a glitter unicorn sticker on her immunization card. (lol)
