6 weeks

Monday, November 12, 2019 marked 6 weeks since Matheson came into our lives.

I had my 6 week follow-up at the doctor and was cleared for sex and exercise. My blood pressure is back to normal and I stopped meds at one month. I needed to do a 2 hour fasting to make sure my gestational diabetes didn't turn into full blown diabetes and my results came back normal! My thyroid and iron are also back to normal. Yay!!

Matheson is very much our child. At 6 weeks, he is sleeping six hours straight through the night in the SNOO.

His daily routine looks like this:

6-7am awake
Morning catnap
Long nap around lunchtime
Evening catnap
8pm bedtime
Up at 2:30am for 4oz bottle, diaper change and back to sleep (I take this feeding)
Up at 4-5:30am for bottle, diaper change and back to sleep (Nick takes this time)

Matty likes to be held all the time. Just the last few days, he wants to eat every 2 hours instead of every 3, which makes me think he is going through a growth spurt.

If he is fussy, a tight swaddle and a binky does the trick.
