Smiles

He loves to watch the fishes spin around on his swing, but actual swinging seems to upset his tummy....so we just sit.

This is an Under Armor outfit Casey's sisters sent. SO CUTE.
So smiley. So I avoided all carbonation from Monday to Friday. Last night I had ONE BEER. Bad idea. I have learned my lesson. This week he turned into largely a very content baby...still a little needy at times- but he would take naps in the pack-n-play, I could get workouts in on most days, he had more smiles and interaction, and life was moving on. Today- NOT SO MUCH.
He still slept fine last night, but today has been another screamy day. He is so uncomfortable, restless, won't sleep, isn't eating well, and just plain miserable. Let's just say I won't be trying it again any time soon.....

Speaking of his sleeping, I finally gave in and put him on his tummy. He is now sleeping consistently 5+ hours at the beginning of the night, eating, and then laying back down until morning. I still feel pretty tired, but man, it's awesome. Because that first stretch is so long, I am pretty full of milk and he doesn't often eat very much when he wakes then, so I have to pump some. I could avoid the pumping and my body would likely adjust, but I'm not willing to risk mastitis again and it's nice to have the extra milk to store. Hopefully we'll be back to our new normal tomorrow!
