It's been a while since I last updated my blog and I do have to say that a lot of things have happened. The most important of which is the birth of my son, Yvesander. Yup, he's finally out of the womb and into this big scary world. He came about 9 days early and totally unexpected. I really thought that he would be late, but lo and behold, he decided to make his entrance early.
The past few months have been quite hectic and fulfilling (I guess I can use that word). Hectic is a given since my days are now driven by his schedule vs. mine. He would wake up at 7am, cry for his milk, get fed, changed, and then brought to his little play area in the living room where he would proceed to play with his toy for 10 minutes or so before going off for his morning nap. He takes pretty short naps, so he'll be up again in about 1 hour and at the same cycle repeats itself till bedtime at 8pm. He sort of sleeps through the night without feeding, just waking up for his pacifier. Poor hubby has to get up and give it to Yvesander. Such a naughty boy. Hoping that he'll sleep through the night soon since neither of us had a full night's sleep since he was born.
The first month was seriously tough. The constant waking up in the middle of the night to feed and the changing of diapers. But I think the biggest change was having to adjust to him. It's weird since before his arrival, we could do whatever we want and without a care in the world. Now we have this little one who is completely dependent on us. I believe this is what all new parents go through. You only understand the big adjustment in life once the baby arrives. Everyone can tell you what to expect, but you won't fully comprehend it till the baby shows up.
Now Yvesander is about 3.5 months and growing cuter by the day. I think I'm quite lucky in that he's a good baby. He's not very needy, only needs attention when he needs to feed, changed or have been left alone for too long. I do play with him but most of the time, I leave him to his own devices. I'm also quite lucky that hubby is very supportive as well. He helps with during diaper change and feeding time. He's also quite happy to spend time with Yvesander, giving me a much needed break to do my weekly yoga class, or to cook dinner, or just to take a breather. Thanks dear, don't think I could have done this alone.
