Hi everybody..I hope you all are doing well! I haven't been around much, don't have much time right now...no one tells you that the first 6-8 weeks are a lot harder than you'd ever imagine  Grant is doing great though - he's sooo darn cute! He's 5 weeks old today - I can't believe it! He had his appointment yesterday and already weighs 11 lbs, 8 oz...he's gained almost 4 pounds!
He smiles all the time, it just makes me melt. You think you love your husband!! What a different kind of love....it's wonderful.
He's nursing SOOO well, I love it. He's still not sleeping great though - I haven't slept more than a 2 hour stetch yet! Yikes. Hopefully that'll change soon. It is much easier to get up in the night though when he's smiley and cuddly. He just needs to figure out day and night. Heck, not sleeping is SOOO much better than throwing up a million times! No complaining here!
I hope everyone is doing great! I'm hoping to at least be able to read through some threads right now. Cross your fingers that he doesn't start fussing for at least 10 minutes!
<<<HUGS>>>

He LOVES that Bumbo! He can't hold his head up yet...so we have to sit there with him and make sure it doesn't flop around... But he loves it. He actually fussed when we took him out of it! It's so good for developing their 'sitting' muscles. All my neighbors told me to get one, I'm glad I did!
The Boppy pillow is awesome too - it's probably the one thing I couldn't live w/o in the middle of the night when I don't have the strength to hold him up to nurse. He sits in it while I get ready in the morning too!

I think his hair is simply adorable. It is just sticking up all over and it makes him soooo cute . One trick that I used to get my son to start realizing day and night was during the day we opened all the blinds and doors and let the sun come in and then at night we shut them and dimmed the lights. After about 3 months he caught on. He still woke up for a feeding but went right back down. Good luck. Thanks for posting pics.
