3 months!

I have hands!

First Words

4 weeks...yay

Yesterday we made one month and yes now I believe when they say that they grow up so fast. My cuppy cake is getting bigger and its amazing how much has happened in these last for weeks. One thing I know for sure now is that there is a huge difference between being a mother and being a parent.

Needless to say, I have been too overwhelmed in the last 4 weeks that I could not even find my laptop. But now that Brycen is getting bigger and beginning to settle into some sorta routine, I hope I can manage the weekly blogs.

This week, Cuppy cake has begun to as if smile; not yet intentionally, but he shows some signs of amusements and it melts my heart when I see this. He also is making small gguurrh gguuurh sounds and has me already talking baby talk and sounding stupid; and I love it.

We started using a pacifier to soothe him especially in the evenings when he really becomes fussy. I used to think that pacifiers where not good but seeing the benefits, I now understand why some parents use them. Trust me, if u have a fussy baby, any sort of dummy is a great help because it can be so hard on both parent and child when the baby is inconsolable.

Breast feeding is not as easy as I thought it was, but I will endure till the end. I realized I had always underestimated the benefits of breast feeding and after reading online how beneficial it is for a child, I will feed Brycen until 2 years at least.

New sleep schedule

The last 2 weeks and five days have been the hardest, most exciting, trying and best days of my life so far. I cannot detail how in words, but I can assure you the being a mother is the best reward God ever gave a woman.

Brycen is the love of my life and this is not just a cliché. Each time I look at him he looks different and love him more and more, even when I have only 2 kj of energy left in me.

He is bigger now, 3.5 kgs and getting heavier. Obviously my Kendra-like boobs are serving him well. I would have loved to record his developmental changes for the last 2 weeks but I guess we will start here. I will try and blog as often as I can for I do not want to lose memory of any of his precious growth stages.

So this last week Brycen has changed his sleep schedule from sleeping 8 hours of the day to only… and he cries… will continue later….

Brycen

Hello Happy People. Here is my lil' Prince. I will update with the birth story as soon as i get time.

1 Day till Brycen gets here...

Here i am in my room at mom's checking, packing and getting ready for being induced tomorrow. Its weird, but i feel kawa. I kinda expected something to feel different, but other than mild anxiety... i am pretty ok.

I had trouble sleeping last night and could not get my head down till 4am. My tummy is itching a lot and well i guess Brycen is also enjoying his last night inside me. Oh sweetnesss i will miss a lot of things about being pregnant with you:

I will miss your kicks, nudges, and elbow jabs...
I will miss hearing the sound of your heart beat through the mini heart monitoring thingie...
I will miss the feeling of having you inside of me, safe, warm curled up and protected from this harsh world (...is that a tear?)
I will miss pressing my tummy, looking for a response from you, and how you would reassuringly nudge me back saying 'am ok mom'- oh my baby...
