5 weeks old
happy 5 weeks old maki baby!!! i can't believe my baby boy malakai is now 5 weeks old! when people told me to cherish each moment because they grow up so fast, i totally believe them now. i can't believe how fast time flies with the newborn. i just wish i could video tape every moment with him so i can remember every little facial expression. all the cute things he does even when he's farting.... ;) he seems so much older. his face has changed a LOT. his cheeks are much bigger. he gained 3 lbs since birth and is getting so heavy. i'm going to need to do some weight lifting to keep up with him!
things are going well. still adjusting to mommyhood. we're actually pretty mobile considering he's only a month old. we've been out and about with him - but still not taking him on the subway! yuck. also still not used to the lack of sleep. everyone and their mama tell me "sleep when he sleeps" but there are so many things to do that i have to assess what's more important while he's napping. do i eat? should i pump? is this my one chance to take a shower today? do i nap with him? should i wash and sanitize the breast pump parts? should i do my bills now? so many things to do and before i know it, he's awake and ready to feed again!!! but i can't really complain. i LOVE having maki in my life. i LOVE being a mama. mik and i are soooooo happy!!! i feel COMPLETE. super cheesy i know but that's really how i feel.
i just stopped taking motrin this week. i still have a little bit of pelvic pain but def not as bad as before. i was taking it for the hemmies, which were bothering me SO MUCH for a couple of weeks but that seemed to have improved in the last couple of days. can't wait to see dr. dobrenis on the 23rd and get my clearance to start working out again. maybe that will give me more energy to play with maki during his wake time despite the lack of sleep.
i've had a couple of breakdowns. hormones raging so it's normal postpartum. i bawled last week because maki was fussy; i wasn't able to sleep much and was exhausted. but it's not always sad tears. i bawled in church after taking communion while saying my own prayers. just felt really lucky to have a healthy baby and for having maki in our lives.
we've had many visitors - mostly new york friends - but mik's family also came to visit from LA and my mom is here this week. mik's sis was a huge help with the 3am feeding and let mik and i get uninterrupted 5-6 hours of sleep - HEAVENLY! it's really great to have family around and it's great for maki to meet them. really wish we lived closer to each other. :( my sis kaye is coming in a couple of weeks - something to look forward to!
below are tons of pictures of maki that have been collecting over the weeks. sorry, i've been behind on blogging but will try to blog more often even if it's just a short entry. the last few weeks have been crazy but i think i can swing more writing now. ;)
his smile melts my heart (even if it's gas related)!
even when i get only 2 hours of sleep, one smile makes the pain go away!
