Baby Blues

I thought I would update a bit about Spencer.


In his Handsome like daddy shirt. He is so cute, absolutely adorable.
Ah, his first tummy yime, in which he crawled 4 inches in that little army crawl scoot thing that they do at first. Little snot...

Ah, his little bouncer that he so loves

I love this picture of him.


Little Frog boy...so sweet


His Biliruben tests came back too high so he had to have this light bed. Needless to say, he didn't like it.


Oy. I can't believe Spencer will be 4 weeks old tomorrow, and technically a month old on Sunday. He is growing so fast! He's already almost too tall to wear 0-3 month clothes. I can't believe it. Before I know it, he's going to be a year old!

I have been a tad depressed lately, too. It's a normal bit of fluctuating hormones. I mainly take care of the baby so Brian can get the rest he needs for work, because if he misses or shows up late 3 times in a month, he will be fired, which is really lame considering the fact that he is a temporary employee. He's already up to 12 of 12 points because he had to take the time off to take baby in for biliruben testing and the day off when he got circumcised. Anyway, staying up with screaming, squalling baby takes its toll. I'm exhausted. I cry at lame things that are not sad or distressting. I feel very inadequate as a mother because I can't get my baby to not fuss sometimes. My mom will actually take him overnight for a few nights a week so I can get some rest, but it makes me feel like I can't take care of my baby.



For the most part, he really only fusses at night. He really is quite a good baby. He eats a lot though. He is already taking 4 oz a feeding, every 2-3 hours. I think he weighs a good 10 pounds now.
