Linus week 4: Linus sucks
Apr. 24th, 2008 12:56 pmIt's been a tough week, as Linus has discovered the awesome of the pacifier and will not be appeased without it. im trying to limit it's use, but that just means he's sucking his hands all the time. I'm not sure there's any use to it, since that's the case.
(Oh, and excuse the fugly bouncy seat. We picked it up at a garage sale for nothing, and it does the trick, even if it's the ugliest thing ive ever owned.)
Despite that, he's still sleeping solidly through the night, in his bassinet, so it's hard to be too pissy about it. yesterday was the low, and today, we've actually had some awake time where he wasnt screaming. this would be horrible, but for the fact that he's almost never awake. and, i think J had a good feeding last night. he's doing the midnight shift feed with expressed milk, and there was a day or two where Linus was giving him a hard time. but i came down the other night and gave him the bottle, which seemed to let him know that no matter who was feeding him, he's getting the bottle for that feeding. that, and i think J tried some angles that worked.
on that note, J and i actually had a nice morning this morning. managed to sneak in a little nice intimate sweet time, much needed i think. im grateful that we had so much time to spend together before Linus was born. it's quite a trick being romantic now.
