We have had an absolutely wonderful first couple of weeks at home. I fully expected the worst with runny poop, eating issues, etc. but Oscar is adjusting very well. I am really enjoying my time at home and we are settling into a nice routine.
The main issue that we are having is that he is fighting sleep. He doesn't do it everyday and I haven't figured out whether there is anything that triggers it yet. He usually fights it at night when we are trying to get him to go down, but he has done it a couple of times for his nap as well. I am encouraged that it is not everyday so I am hoping he can get over it quickly.
It is hard having neighbors live so close to me because I am sure that they hear him! When he is fighting sleep he screams and cries and it usually lasts for about an hour. I have so much experience in taking care of babies and I hate that I can't get him to stop crying. When he gets so worked up it doesn't matter what I do, he just keeps crying.
I can't complain about lack of sleep for myself because once he goes to sleep he does well the rest of the night. He usually wakes up once or twice to eat and sleeps until 7 or 8 in the morning. I never thought that I would be able to sleep in when I had a new baby!!!
We haven't downloaded our pictures from home yet, so I will post those at a later date. Here is a sweet one of him sleeping, I especially like the way he is giving us the thumbs up! :)
