We are adjusting to having a newborn in the house again. I forgot how many diapers you change, how much laundry they create and how tired you get with broken sleep. I had to be refreshed on some things even though Hudson isn't that old. I'm still learning what Gianna likes and dislikes, but so far it has been a pretty easy adjustment. We are enjoying a little one to snuggle with and hold while we can.
Gianna had her 1 week check up last week. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces. One of her eyes has a clogged tear duct, but it's not too bad.
Gianna eats about every 3 hours and wakes up during the night every 2.5 - 3 hours. She is sleeping a lot during the day, but her wake time is increasing. She doesn't like to sleep flat on her back or swaddled. She sleeps on a boppy or in the car seat during the day and her swing at night. I hope she eventually transitions to the bassinet or crib, but for now this is how we all get some sleep.
Hudson stayed with Josh's family a good bit for the first week we were home and they have been a huge help in taking him when I need a break. I have kept both kids a few days by myself and it went pretty smooth. I have to keep a close eye on Hudson around Gianna because he is a little rough with her. He gives her lots of kisses, hugs, talks to her and sings to her. He is a proud big brother and doesn't forget about his "sissy". I think he is adjusting pretty well. I see some jealousy at times, but it's normal with the changes that have taken place.
Josh and I have been trying to spend alone time with Hudson so that he feels special and not left out. Josh took him for a ride in the Jeep as a treat.
