Carter is two weeks old. I can't believe how time flies. It has been easy because I had my mom and sister the first week to help me and Jade was home all this week. I'm all alone next week and afraid I will be screaming to take mental health days but they have all been used up. Haha. Here are some of Carter's two week highlights.
Bedtime: He falls asleep at 10 PM and sleeps until 5 AM. I pray everynight that this pattern of rest does NOT stop.
Favorite time of the day: Bathtime. He LOVES to be in the bath. He never cries. I have pictures of both Connor and Jaxson screaming in the bath water and Carter is just content.
Because he is such a good sleeper at night, he misses some of his feedings and makes up for them during the day. He wants to nurse every 2 hours during the day. Sometimes every hour. When I look at the rolls of fat developing on his arms and legs, it makes it worth it.
He cries in the car. He does not seem to like being in his swing, car seat, or bouncy chair. He prefers to be held in mommy or daddy's arms.
He has a reddish tint to his scarce hair and his eyes are still blue but may be changing? I have my money on blue and Jade is convinced they will turn brown. I predict he will be bald in 2 more weeks. The hair line is moving back more and more everyday.
He still has the plugged tear ducts. His eyes always water and occasionally have to be wiped out with a cotton ball because they drain mucous. The doctor told us it can take up to 6 months to resolve.
He tries hard to cry REALLY loud but just doesn't seem to have the lung power yet. (small blessings from God)
