Andrew...1 month old

Andrew is 1 month old today and I thought I would post a little about him and how he is doing. He is a sweet little boy and my love for him, as with Delia, is incomprehensible!! He is growing though he still seems so small to me. Just in the last week or so he has been doing a lot of spitting up..though not nearly as much as Delia and projectile vomiting every now and then with some back arching..yep he has acid reflux..although he still has to see his doctor in order to get his medicine. Hopefully this will help his pain he is having with it. It even effects his eating. He is a very sleepy baby. This is a good and bad thing. He falls asleep all the time when he eats so getting him to eat enough is super hard and sometimes frustrating, but he sleeps 5 hrs at night!! So nice. He grunts a lot and makes many noises..as did Delia, so I put him in the bathroom so I can hear him cry, but his grunting is barely audible, so no more waking up to every little noise. We'll see how long that lasts! He does make some cute noises when he sleeps that make me smile, I have to remember to get it on video. When he eats or sucks his bink, he brings his little fisted hands up underneath his chin..cutest thing ever! I think the only reason he cries when he does is his acid reflux or he is hungry. Nice this time around to have a baby who doesn't cry so much. Delia loves him very much. although it has been hard to teach her that she is not big enough to help with everything she is very caring about him. He has been given the nick name "bubba" courtesy of his father! Even Delia calls him that too! He has been smiling at me when I am looking straight into his bluing eyes. I love it and cry out of pure joy just looking at him and knowing he is mine. Such a wonderful thing to be a mother, to be able to love a child of god is unlike anything else. Moments like these make all the challenges worth it. I can't wait to see how much he is going to change and how fun it will be to raise a boy this time around!

Oh my goodness, he just gets more cute as he grows! And by the way...boys are the best! Granted, I've never raised a girl, but I find boys to be an absolute joy without the girl drama! I am a girl, so I can bash them and say, we are total drama! Boys are fun and excitement and play, play, play! I know you're going to have a blast with that adorable boy!
