I cannot believe it has already been TWO months! The first month flew by but the second went by equally as fast. We had a couple rough weeks where Miles would cry all.day.long. And not just newborn cry, but I could tell he was just not comfortable. So we took him in and our doctor told us he definitely had colic. She gave us some medicine to give him and thankfully that helped him a ton. After it got settled into his system we had a full week where he didn't cry at all! This mama was extremely grateful for the few extra naps I was able to get in! He is now back to crying throughout the day, just thankfully not near as much as he was before. He is starting to sleep a lot better too! We usually get about 4.5 hours the first stretch-(a handful of times we've gotten 5.5 or even 6 hours a couple of times!), and 2.5 hours after the middle of the night feeding. So for him not even being two months yet, we are grateful for that!
All in all it has been a great month! He had his first round of shots and I was so nervous for him!! There is no worse sound that his first scream of pain when they pricked him. It was awful! When I first heard that scream and he was looking up at me, I almost started to tear up, but I told myself I couldn't let him see me upset-be strong mama! But after the initial prick, Dad gave him to me and I nursed him and he calmed down. But then the doctor came back in and had to put some liquid nitrogen on his belly button because some remnants of the cord was still there and we wanted to get rid of it. So we have to do a few weekly treatments to get rid of it. So not only did he have one oral vaccines, three in the leg, but also liquid nitrogen on his belly button-he was so brave! I never knew I could be proud of such a small human! You go Miles Man!
