Two Week Check-Up

So after the past trying week we've been experiencing, I was so looking forward to this doctor's appointment. And Alejandro did very well. Contrary to all my worries thinking something had to be wrong because of his screaming and crying, Alejandro is just a normal baby. He passed his check up with flying colors. Mommy and daddy sure felt proud. He grew an inch and gained almost two whole pounds! I knew he grew! I saw this before my eyes! LOL.

I asked the doctor a gazillion questions and she agreed that it may be either a growth spurt or colic, but she said it's temporary and he'll outgrow it soon enough. She said that as newborns so much is happening too fast that it's overwhelming for the baby as well. She recommended that we continue to nurture him by spending as much skin to skin contact, making sure he feels loved and protected.

So we're just glad it's nothing serious. Baby boy is 100% healthy and loved :)

In the meantime, time to keep up the hugs and kisses with lots of love and PATIENCE. :)

Two Weeks (Growth Spurt?)

Hubby went back to work today and my goodness do I miss him!

Truly it appears that my little angel is not happy at all. And obviously if baby ain't happy, mommy certainly can't be either.

It's been such a trying time. Honestly. I think I even want to curl up in a corner and cry my little eyes out. It certainly doesn't help that no one has even bothered to offer some sort of help. Feels like I can't even use the restroom without my little one screaming his little lung away and screaming bloody murder! It's funny and it's not :(

So of course being the paranoid tech freak turned mommy that I am, I've turned to google and found out about growth spurts. Now, he's only two weeks, but I think he's hit his first one. He's showing all the signs. Such as:

• crying uncontrollably for no reason
• wanting to be held 24/7
• Non-stop eating 

I'm also noticing great physical growth overnight... 

So it's either a growth spurt or colic or worst BOTH! Aaaargh! lol

Now, as overwhelming as this week has been, I'm still in love. It feels amazing to hold him and carry him in my arms. As a mother, you gotta love those bad times too! LOL. Just wish someone would had warned me about these severe mood swings... (I know, I know... babies are temperamental, but I was so not prepared of little Hulk! lol)

So here's to hoping we storm through this episode onto a more calming one soon. Wish me luck!
