...Rowan was born! I'm sure everyone knows that by now. I can't believe he is six weeks old already. That still sounds so little but I feel like he was just born. I'm glad that it has been six weeks because that means my recovery time from my c-section is offically over (meaning I can lift and start exercising again...not that I completely followed those rules). It also means that Rowan is adjusting better to life. He is less fussy than he was at first and is starting to interact a little with us and his brothers. He likes looking around and is happy doing that for a little while. He is starting to smile some and also cooing a little bit. He still sleeps a lot of the day but his awake periods are getting longer. He is doing really well at night and is usually ready for bed by 9-10pm. Then he sleeps for 5-6 hours most nights. I'm glad he is a good sleeper because I can't function on the nights he wakes up more often. I know what my friends of three kids were talking about when they say that three is a lot busier. It's so different adding a third baby to the mix. There isn't much time to just sit and enjoy the baby! We have slowed down our pace a lot but we are still on the go a lot. Camden and Hudson are in preschool two days a week, we go to MOPS once a month and some playdates in between, and I'm thinking about joining another mom's group but I may hold off for now. I guess I'm not used to not being busy. :)
Rowan is doing really well and is growing fast. He was 8 lbs 10 oz when he was born, only lost a few ounces in the hospital, and surpassed his birth weight before he was one week old. The last time we went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago he was 10 lbs 13 oz. He likes to eat every 2 hours during the day and is a very efficient eater! He's getting some cute baby rolls. He does have some reflux but it definitely isn't causing an issue with his weigh gain!
Camden and Hudson love their baby brother. They both love to look at him, hold him, and talk to him. Camden is especially good with him. He's like a little parent and has even become that way with Hudson. It's cute.
Now here's the good part...pictures!
