The 1st month of Lucas's life has been interesting to say the least. He is a sleepy head eater so he never gets a full meal and so sometimes he goes as little as 45 minutes between feedings. This is causing me to get extremely tired and poor Lucas just isn't growing very fast. At his two week check-up he had lost about the standard pound as weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and grew to 21 inches. Dr. Twiggs suggested that I start supplementing with a few ounces of formula after his feedings to help get his strength up so that he can be a better sucker.
He doesn't cry much (except for two nights when he was a few days old when he wailed for probably 3 hours), but when he gets hungry or sad for any reason he makes this really cute squeal that Daniela says sounds like a pig.
Oh and I am still sitting on an inflatable donut due to the chronic pain. No one told me about episiotomies before I got pregnant...
