I can't believe how much different Adeline is from Owen. She is such a laid back, calm, mellow baby. She is pretty much just eating, sleeping, and pooping. Owen was so cranky and colicky almost all the time. He hardly took naps, and when he did it was a real struggle to get him to sleep, and even harder to keep him asleep. Don't get the wrong idea, I love my little man so much, but he was not an easy baby by any means. Adeline just goes right to sleep after she eats, and many times sleeps until it is time to feed her again. Thank goodness we had Owen first. I can't imagine having an 18 month old and dealing with a cranky newborn. How do two people come from the same DNA and are so different?
Breastfeeding has also been a breeze with her. She latched right on from the get go, and has never looked back. My milk supply is great, and I am not even tender. She is eating about every 2-2.5 hours during the day, and every 3-3.5 hours at night. I couldn't ask for anything more! One similarity between Owen and Adeline, is the projectile pooping. George has been shot a couple times already with poop. We go through a couple diapers many times when we change her. We will think she is done, and then when we are putting the new diaper on, she decides to go again. We weighed her on our scale last night, and it said 9lbs!
The only postpartum issue I have been having is some severe left neck and shoulder pain. I am not sure of the cause, and my only thought is that is may be from looking down at her while breastfeeding. Maybe I have strained something by not having good neck and back alignment. To help my neck rest, last night I nursed her laying for all feedings. Owen hated that position, but Adeline latched right on, and didn't seem to mind.
We are so blessed to have two, beautiful, healthy children. I can't wait to see what the future hold for us as a family of four!
The three loves of my life!
I heard her poop, and then she had this little grin.
Kicking back!
All packed up and ready to go out for the first time. I love that little grin.
This is what you call MILK DRUNK!
She was finally awake and I wanted to get some pics with her eyes open. By the time I got stuff set up and got the camera, she was back out. I still got a cute shot though.
