I officially have an 8lbs baby!!! Crazy that it’s just in time for him to be 5 months old.
5 months old means 5 months from yesterday...
5 months was the longest that we ever went without seeing each other in person. I thought that time was the longest 5 months of my life. This has obvious felt like a lifetime. I can not believe it’s only been 5 months and yet it feels like yesterday. I still forget every single day.
This morning when we woke up I was able to sit him up in the boppy and he sat and watched Trolls on my bed while I get ready. Parenting win! That’s never happened. From the minute we wake up he is antsy and crabby and needs to be held. This was a nice step. He did it a little the night before too. I think he can see further and therefore he is able to entertain himself more by taking in his surroundings.
We have lots of appointments this coming with up at Children’s hospital including THE appointment where we schedule his surgery! I guess I’m looking forward to knowing when. It’s the #1 question I get asked so I will like having an answer and knowing myself.
