5 Weeks Old

I was reading through the blog on Peanut from 1-6 weeks. It was worse than I remembered. I really can't complain, though I feel bad about him now, with her taking so much of our time. I often only would get 1-2 hour stretches of sleep out of him at night and he napped poorly too.

Thank goodness for our knowing about probiotics this time! Knock on wood, but Almond has improved since we started 2 days ago. She's still fussy and hates napping, but the angry sleep thrashing and sounds have decreased a ton. She's smiling and cooing (which is supposed to happen now anyways). Of course right now she's squawking up a storm, but she's been trying to poop all morning without success, so I can't really blame her. Swing is keeping her out for now.

I also could start getting him into cloth during the day at this point, she may have a harder time being a bit smaller, but it's worth a try. Plus he could sit in the bumbo. Both of their neck prowess seems the same, so she should be able to too, I'll give it a try.

I'm excited to have things to try tonight! I want to keep her moving, keep her head up. The stronger she gets, the more she moves, the easier time she'll have with the gas. And keep that head round and any future bald spots minimal too, as a nice bonus. She's got such pretty dark hair :D
