I am soo proud of myself. I got up twice last night all by myself to feed Tristan, and I was able to swaddle him and get him to sleep too. Haha that is quite a feat for me because Nick took care of most of that while we were in the hospital. I've gotten a lot better at getting him to ear all by myself. And he always konks out when he's finished which makes putting him down easier too. He's such a good baby. I'm glad he's finally here! I was able to fill all my premade scrapbook pages with all the pictures I've take so far. And per family request, there are going to be many more pictures added to the blog as often as I can.
Being a mom is definitely rewarding, but my goodness it is hard! I had a mini melt down yesterday because I couldn't get him to eat, so we ended up giving him a bottle with breast milk instead because I didn't want him to starve. Then I felt like a failure. Apparently a lot of mommies go through that repeatedly on a daily basis. But Nick makes it better. He just kept telling me what a good job I'm doing and that it's not my fault, Tristan is still figuring things out. It was neat to have Nick get to feed him though, I think he really enjoyed that.
I'm excited for when he starts to get bigger and can interact more with us. He kinda of smiles a little bit in his sleep sometimes, and he'll stare at me for a few seconds at a time. I just love having him here.
So sleepy after eating
And that is a sweat stain….he is a warm little guy!
Seriously, could he?
