It never ceases to amaze me how slow that last month of pregnancy goes and how fast that first month with our precious baby slips away. I know everyone says this but I'm going to say it anyways, I can't believe how fast this month has gone! Zeddrick is now a whole month old and is such a blessing already, I can only imagine how much more my life is going to be blessed by him in the months to come.
Roland is enjoying him so much but I can tell this is the first time he has been here for one of his when they are so young. He seems very hesitant to do anything with Zeddrick and never asks to hold him I always have to ask him if he wants to hold him. He is a helping me as much at night with him as he can, changing diapers, burping him and sometimes putting him back to sleep (mostly on the weekends). The biggest help he has been is doing so much with the girls when he is home so I can nurse Zeddrick without being climbed on and so I don't feel like my girls are missing out on the attention they need.
The girls are still adjusting to having a baby brother. Charlotte goes back and forth between love and dislike with him. Mostly because she is still so young and wants all the attention that is now going to her brother. I try my hardest to continue to love on her as much as I can so she doesn't feel so jealous. Amelia is still completely in love with her baby brother (I'm sure that will last until he's taking her toys) and is always wanting to help with him. She always asks where he is if he is in our room sleeping or lets me know as soon as he is crying that he needs something. She is a great big sister helping me as much as she can for such a little girl.
Zeddrick now weighs 10.8 lbs (according to our home scale) and is 22.5 inches long.
He is now in 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. We are almost out of our disposable diapers so we are going to try out our cloth to see if they fit yet, I'm so hoping they do I don't like spending money on diapers.
He is getting up about 3-4 times a night to eat and usually he doesn't go right back to sleep because he gets so gassy after feedings. I have tried to modify what I eat to see if that helps but so far it's not (of course all my babies have been very gassy) so gas drops and a hot rice sac are awesome.
My sweet boy loves to be held all the time mostly by mommy, which is fine by me.
He is now starting to react to others when they talk to him with smiles, it's so precious.
He does well with tummy time so far and he is even trying to roll over already silly boy.
