Our "little" baby is 12 weeks old already! He is growing like a weed! Next Tuesday he will celebrate his 3 month birthday, it is hard to believe. When do you stop counting weeks and just go with months? When do you start baby food, and sitting up? oh the number of things I have learned and he seems to be teaching me every day, his preferences. I really think he is out of the scream when you put me down stage and now into scream if you try to keep holding me and don't put me down to be by myself and relax~ not so sure that is gonna be a good thing on our flight to Arizona next week! It really was like someone flipped a switch though and all of the sudden he was a new baby (or it may be the Zantac that is making him feel better when he lays down lol)
He is also napping in his bed now, as long as the sound machine is on, curse the timer in the baby noise maker. It limits his naps to 45 minutes, that is if I don't get there fast enough to hit reset before it turns off, because one second of silence is enough to wake him up. Then generally, he is then happy for 20 minutes and then goes down hill to crabby baby because he was still tired and it is next to impossible to get him back to sleep before he has his next bottle!
I am collecting mom tips, things I have learned that I wish someone had told me before I had Andy.
Tip # 1- Don't waste money on small bottles (less than 8 oz) because 12 weeks later you won't be able to use the 20 or so 4-6 oz bottles you bought/ got... (well maybe more than 12 weeks if you aren't feeding a horse like we are, but really how early can you start baby food, because we are maxed out on cereal in the bottle already)
2 - They really don't advertise that you will have logic defying psycho moments (or weeks) after you give birth. My stepmom mentioned it to me before I had Andy, but I didn't understand, yea yea I had heard that your hormones change blah blah, but this was no PMS this was clinically irrational.
Okay so that is all I can think of that I am now telling my pregnant friends. But it is now my new favorite question of mom's what have you learned that you wish someone had told you??
