....Yikes is right January was the longest month of my life days were long & nights were even longer, but every day and every night when my son was laying in my arms finally asleep after the 2 am bottle and diaper changes, instead of sleeping i would just stare at him and see how perfect he is (Even if it was only an hr he was asleep) No matter how tired you are it is the most amazing feeling in the world becoming a mother, having a baby who thrives on your attention and love, you will never experience a more beautiful thing then the love of a mother to their child and a child to his/her mother.
We had hard moments where he just wouldn't stop screaming, I thought it was something I did or didn't do, or that he hated me but no it was just both of us getting use to each other, and figuring out what my baby boy needed whether it was milk or a diaper change or just a cuddle or even just to cry so much learning!
It was finally February, after a month of skyping with daddy he would finally be back soon! We couldn't wait, he so badly missed his baby boy and I, as we missed him. When he showed up he couldn't believe how big he had gotten in just a month, and how attentive he was. He had changed so much in such a short period of time skype just didn't do him justice. We both realized at that point it was going to go by fast he would be changing and learning every single day, we shouldn't take it for granted at all. In the blink of an eye our baby boy was going to be 2 months old...
So in February Abel started eating rice cereal, the milk just wasn't filling him up so a tsp 1/2 of cereal mixed with milk, he loved it!! Daddy took us to his very first needles appointment, so happy Josh did because I couldn't handle it, it hurt and it was scary! Daddy held his hand and made it easier. 2 needles one in each leg and a mouth full of rotarix it was over finally. Then sadly two days later daddy was leaving again, but when daddy got back next time it would be for good! We couldn't wait! We would be a for real family living day to day with each other!
Abel just kept changing, 1st cereals to more milk intake about 6 ounces a feeding 5 bottles a day but the craziest change was in March when one night he stayed asleep all night then the next and the next and so on which was scary because did i get more sleep nope i stayed awake all night checking on him freaking out checking his breathing the works of it, which is normal you are going to panic when your 2 1/2 mth old decided to sleep through the night. I did this for several weeks sleeping during the day and staying up all night , then we decided I was going to leave baby for the first time and head to Newfoundland for a 2 day visit to go get daddy! .... a trip away form baby at only 2 1/2 mths old you say bad, but really it is ok to leave it is good for you and baby when you have help to take the time you need away, as hard as it was it was also very refreshing! Abel was getting very attached to me and nobody else could put him down or calm him, he needed his mama, which is amazing and great but no good if you do need a night to yourself and have a babysitter. So Newfoundland it was....
