Things are going well. He seems to have a pattern of sleeping at night. He wakes up between 3-5 hours to eat and goes right back to sleep. It's pretty nice. Some days he stays up from 7am on, other times he goes back to sleep until 10 or 11 and that's even nicer for me.
He's begun to stay awake for 6 or more hours during the day. He's so good, because when he's awake, he's content in the swing, bouncy/vibrating seat, or the pack and play bassinet. I hold him a lot too, but I have choices when I need to get stuff done.
I've started to try to do some housework. I did some laundry and dishes yesterday and today I'm feeling sore in my incision area. I'll take it easy today. I do think that it's about healed though.
Alex has been to 2 doctor appointments. He's gaining weight and growing. Last appointment he was 7lbs. 10oz and 20 1/4 inches long. There's one NB outfit that's getting a bit short on him. His face is filling out and he's looking even cuter. Unfortunately he's not so photogenic (lol) and his pictures aren't nearly as cute as he is in person.
That's about all for now.

Alex seems to have a great eating and sleeping pattern. Of course I'm not the one rising every 3-5 hours so easy for me to say.
Take it easy and rest when he rests. That is the only way you'll be coherent enough to find your rhythm. Everything is more doable when you are rested.
Love you all ... NaNa
