Daily update

Everything went well last night, we were able to get him into the bassinet for his down times. Everyone was up about seven this morning. I guess we're catching up on sleep... for now anyways.

We continue to try not to hold him even though we just don't want to put him down. Yesterday we put him down to sleep in a bouncy chair for his long sleeps to try to get him used to at least a few hours of alone time. I would have to say we hold him 85% of the time. We're trying to get him to sleep in his bassinet/crib instead of the bed so much.

I have to go out for an eye appointment and supply run today. Tam will be alone for a little bit, but not too long. I stepped on, and broke my glasses my first or second night home.

We're going to meet/try a different pediatrician. A more like minded person. At our appointment, our current ped. said he would treat postpartum depression with a pill a day for six months. ugh

My swaddling technique isn't the best right now, but it is getting better. Swaddling is wrapping up your kid tight at night so they don't start and wake themselves up frequently. He is just so strong that he breaks out his hands frequently. I might not have the will to manipulate him well enough though.

We/I decided to get him snipped. We're working on an appointment, we'll hear back from the doctor's office today. One of the first tough decisions.

love to all
