Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased).
We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :)
Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Tyler has been a lot better as far as the screaming fits go but he is just really clingy now. He wants to be held all the time which makes it hard to do stuff, but at least he is quieter!
Anyway, an update on his kidney really quickly (I had the whole story planned out to tell you about the hospital and how some lady yelled at me for having a crying baby but I just don't have time right now to type it out). His kidney is emptying properly so at least we know that much. The urologist will tell us more on March 25th. Sounds like the problem isn't going to be too hard to solve.
Also I want to thank everyone who brought dinner over to us. You have NO idea how much that helped. Things have been really tough to get used to and so it's been really nice to pull a meal out of the freezer every night. And some of you brought hot meals too, which were also delicious and helpful. Thank you!
Sorry I am rambling but I have to go--I hear the beginnings of a crying fest coming on. I do love being a mom though don't get me wrong. It's way rewarding already. I just can't wait til he's a little bit older so he can communicate without screaming!
Oh did I mention he eats like every hour!?!?!
