20 Weeks

20 Weeks

Weight:  16.7 pounds

Sleep: Awful. At first I couldn't figure it out but then he got an awful cold...  I mean who can sleep flat with a cold? After battling him for a few days, I started letting him sleep in the bouncer or the swing. I'm sure this will come to bite me in the booty but I'm not going to make him suffer. 

Clothes: 6 months.

Visitors:  None

Out and About: He went to the beach for the first time and LOVED it! Who knew kicking sand could be so much fun?!

Baby Gear Love:  

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

Crying:  He was really fussy this week because he isn't/wasn't feeling well. He only wanted to be held up right while you were standing. I think I strained a million muscles this week.

Milestones:
Going to the beach!

He rolled over on his belly 1x in his crib and I missed it. I put him in the crib, walked out to get the monitor, turned it on and he was on his belly screaming. I have spent the last two days trying to bribe him to do it again. He also surprised me at baby gym by standing (leaning?), on this round mat where they stand and play with toys, by himself for at least two minutes. He has done it for shorter periods at home with the ottoman. He is now using two hands together to grab things. If I hold a little ball up, he will reach with two hands to grab it! He is purposefully grabbing now. He is moving all over (reminder to start baby proofing). He is talking so much more.. ok more like screaming but I'll take it. He is giggling a lot more now too.

Medical: Grrr. We had to up the reflux meds due to him refusing to eat, screaming during feedings, etc. He has a cold :( Blah.

Postpartum: 

6.5 weeks pregnant

4.5 months post partum

Almost there! My stomach def. still looks different but it's getting there. And don't let me fool you, when I am holding Jackson there is a pooch. I haven't tried on my smallest jeans but everything fits now...with a muffin top :)
