This "schedule" thing is not easy. The only thing to rely on is that anything goes...We were blessed with around 5 hours of sleep the first 2 nights we got back home, but our little guy decided that wasn't working for him. So now its like 2-3 hours at a time and we are trying to ween him off getting most of his shut eye during the daylight hours. We will see how that goes. Yesterday we had our first appt. with Dr. Kamon. Tristan is back up a hefty 6#7oz, which is not as plump as she would like to see. She recommended that we nurse for no more than a half hour (to save Jan) and then give him pumped milk. Jan was starting to feel like a machine with the 1 hour nursing sessions. Tristan likes to fall asleep shortly after starting his feed session.
Jan and I went to lunch with him and he just chilled the entire time. It was great!
Yesterday we also gave him his first bath. He didn't seen any more cranky than normal, so we don't think he disliked it. He may have been getting a little cold until jan remembered that you can put a warm wash cloth over his chest. His hair was so frizzy after coming out of the bath, it was hilarious. I think he looks so punk rock with the straight long hair in the back and the frizz up top. Might be time to break out those old Rollins and Dead Kennedy's CDs??
He is still cute as ever and despite all the pooping and crying; we love him beyond imagination!! Dublin, on the other hand, is probably tired of being kept up all day and night!!
