Sleep?

Well, on second thought... He isn't quite back to 1 waking per night every night. I am still very tired as he is waking at least twice a night most nights. But I just tell myself that it does get better, and I do remember to cherish those night feedings and cuddles as much as possible. After all, they are tiny for such a short time.

Zyler is 4 Months Old!

I can't believe it's been 4 months! We just got our bill from the hospital for each of us! And it's already been 4 MONTHS! Zyler is thriving on exclusive Mommy Milk and doing splendidly. Just this week he started rolling to the left a lot in his crib. We often find him sleeping on his tummy or on his tummy and his side. He has finally gotten back down to 1 waking at night. He was waking 2 and 3 times for several weeks. I think a lot had to do with his trying to figure out the rolling over. I am worn out but starting to feel somewhat normal again! He is taking better naps, and he also plays with his rattles and loves to talk and coo to us. He holds his head up well, and likes to play with his feet. No toe sucking yet though. :o)

I am going to attempt going back to work full time this week. I am tired... and also sad to not be with him as much during the day, but hopefully I will find a groove that I will be able to be happy with. He stays with our cousin and his grandmothers while I'm working. That way, he can't wear out just 1 of them. :o)

Beautiful "Angel Mommy" Video

Yet again, so touching that I couldn't not share! Grab your tissues!

It is hard to imagine life without our Zyler. I know now that he is 1 of the main reasons for my miscarriage. But, you can't help but wonder - what would life be today had we been blessed with that baby? It is hard to believe that he/she would have been around 14 months old already.

He did it! and 12-Week Checkup

God bless our little guy, he slept through the night last night!! And I don't mean just 5- or 6-hour stretches! He slept from about 7:45 PM til 5 AM when I woke him up to nurse! I also kinda "dream" fed him in his sleep around 9:30 PM.

I can't believe he's 3 months old! We started his vaccinations yesterday. (Poor little guy!!) He weighs 13.5 lb! Big guy! Yay for Mommy Milk!
