Alex is now one month old and doing well. He had his well checkup today and weighs in at 9lb 8oz, almost what Ava weighed at birth. He still seems so tiny to me. I think with baby number 3 I will keep him or her in the full 40 weeks. When you are able to schedule your birth, my doctor allows me to go at 38 weeks and of course I did. He is very healthy with a few sniffles. The doctor said the sniffles were fine and to give him saline drops if I wanted to,but that mainly they were from the air being dry. He apparently shrank. They measured him at 20 inches then said well maybe 21 inches and he was 21 inches at birth. He is in the 50 th percentile for height and 70th percentile for weight. Alex tracks objects very well and responds to voices especially my voice!! He continues to be a very sweet little boy. He is content to be by himself in his crib or on my bed looking at his toys for long periods of time, but he also likes to be loved and cuddled. He continues to have a healthy appetite! As far as sleeping goes he is a pretty good sleeper. On good nights he sleeps 11-4 or 5, and not so good nights he will wake up at 2. When he wakes up at 2 it seems like he will continue to get up every hour. I really can't complain overall he is amazing, and a calm baby.
Ava's speech lesson last week was incredible. I think she got on the computer, read my blog, and wanted to prove me wrong. She listened to the therapist the entire hour, and even sat in her lap and wanted to hug all over her. I guess Ava just needed a few weeks to get used to her. Ava has been trying to talk alot lately. Her new thng to say is GO GO GO, and then she takes off running, or climbing on whatever.
I am a mess. I am losing everything and can't seem to get anything right. The past couple of days I have left the diaper bag at home everytime I go somewhere even after I spend 15 mins packing it up and sitting it by the door. In fact I forgot it today when I went to Alex's docotor's appointment. I dropped Ava off at my Mom's house and left the diaper bag sitting by the door. Of course they asked for my insurance card and I had to explain to the receptionist why I didn't have it and I got "the look." When we went back into the room for his checkup I had to undress him dipaer and all. He went the bathroom so I had to ask for a diaper and wipes and got "the look" again. I came back to the docotor's office to give them the insurance card because we got a new plan (long story.) The receptionist asked me if this was effective as of July 15th and I said "no it would be more like June 15th." I thought it was June and God knows when I thought Alex was born. She thought I was on drugs for sure. Some other things that have been happened are Alex's gas drops disappeared the other night. Completely disappeared! Bert and I turned over couches and trash cans, we didn't find them. I hate when stuff like this happens I feel like I am losing my mind. Maybe I am a little sleep deprived and don't know it!!!!!!!!
