7 Weeks!

Ah! My baby is almost two months old...no! Please turn back the clock!

Today Leo and I are having a lazy, stay at home day in an effort to try and get him back on some sort of schedule. I am fine if he isn't on a strict schedule yet- he is still so tiny- but it would be nice to have at least some idea of what time of day would be the best to schedule doctor appointments and such. Plus my mom and dad are out of town and Nick is at work all day and there isn't anything too important that I need to leave the house for, thus we are staying put today.

So far Leo has eaten "on schedule" (every 4 hours) and had a short morning and longer afternoon nap. He is getting to that point where I actually need to rock him to sleep instead of him just drifting in and out by himself like when he was a newborn, which he still does sometimes but not enough. I can tell when he is overly tired and then it is way too hard to get him to close those little eyes...but I just forget that I need to put him down for naps and such.

Anywho, that is what we will be doing today. Nicholas helped me make a spreadsheet last night so I could easily keep track of when he sleeps and for how long and such- that "mommy brain" is catching up to me and I am more and more losing my memory and thinking about way too many things at a time :) Wish us luck!
