Jude's first couple of weeks were pretty easy. He slept all of the time and usually had to be woken up to eat. We pretty much just sat and stared at him all day long. :) At his first pediatrician's appointment, they did say that he had jaundice and had to get some light treatments at home. As for eating...even though we had a bit of a rough start with nursing, he picked it up after a few days and has been eating really well.
Now that he is just over a month old, Judah is much more alert and spends more of the day awake. He eats around every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Judah wakes up in the night crying to eat at least a couple of times. Usually we can go about one 4 hour stretch before he gets hungry and the rest of the night is usually around 3 hours between feedings. Fortunately, 99% of the time he goes right back to his crib and falls asleep again after he's done eating. Judah has slept in his crib since his 2nd night home. The first night he spent next to our bed in the pack n' play, but he has spent all of his other nights in his room.
We've had lots of visitors come to meet Judah and it's been fun to introduce him to family and friends. We've also enjoyed seeing his cousin Penelope, who was born 3 days earlier! She is just a doll and I love that they are so close in age.
We have taken lots of pictures over the past few weeks, so please click on the link to my Facebook album if you'd like to see!
One month old!
