19 weeks

Where have we been?! CRAZY! Trips, holidays, planning a baby shower, hanging out with friends with kids, making new friends with babies (hello our whole world has changed), and spending lots of time at the doctor. 

19 Weeks

Weight:  16 pounds

Sleep: GREAT! We have transitioned Jackson to his crib and he will sleep there all night. He usually wakes up 1-2 times but once I put the paci back in he’s fine! We are still working on the naps- he will sleep for 30-60 minutes in the crib and then he’s not having it...but he will sleep on me for 2+ hours. I can't say I really mind snuggling when I get home from work but he needs to be sleeping in the crib only. I am reading about the Ferber method so hopefully that helps.

Clothes: 6 months.

Visitors:  None

Out and About: We have been going to baby gym on Saturdays and we really like it! The first time Jackson was very sleepy and not too sure about the whole thing but now he loves it. He is getting more interested in other babies. And we are making mommy/baby friends! We are looking into getting into a play group and signing up for swim lessons. 

Baby Gear Love:  

Everything we own. Seriously I have used everything we bought a million times. 

Crying:  Hungry or overtired but really he’s been pretty great!

Milestones:
He found his toes! It’s pretty funny when he is holding both feet up as high as he can get them... He is trying to put them in his mouth but he hasn’t quite got that figured out yet. He is getting closer to rolling from his back to his tummy. Sleeping in his crib!!! He can do a tripod sit for short periods of time. 

Medical: The reflux, eczema, mucous in his stools have lead us to prescription formula. He can’t tolerate ANY traces of dairy or soy. I am now fighting with the insurance to cover it. If this doesn’t work we have to see a GI. IF we see a GI they will mostly likely have to scope him which I would love to avoid. We have been living at the doctor and talking to them daily. His pediatrician has been awesome seeing us on Saturdays and really figuring this out. We are back there on Monday for shots :(

Postpartum: 4 pounds left. I am really watching what I eat, taking Jackson for more runs, and doing short workouts at home. The jogger stroller has really helped! It is super tough to run with but I’m getting in more workouts this way. I’m still loosing hair gross. My body is slowly transforming back to it's former self.
