Arkin is 2 months old today

Yay! My lil man is 2 months old  today.

Arkin is one month old

It's just amazing to me how fast the past month has gone by and how much Arkin has changed.

He's now given us a three hour chunk of sleep for five nights in a row.

He's also awake a lot more during the day and we can tell that his little eyes are focusing on more things that are further away from him. Right now, we’re having a tough time with colic but we’re working through it. Seeing him cry in pain is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with.

I love my little man!

 Hope those of you whose babies are enjoying them as much as we're enjoying Arkin.

*Discharged in the morning*

April 7, 2012

Incision Dressing (no signs of infection)

Overall, di naman ako masyado nahirapan.

Nung nasa room na ko after recovery room, dun ako nahirapan kasi masakit yung tahi pero may round the clock IV pain meds naman. Kainis lang yung NUBAIN na IV med kasi super sakit sa vein!

I am super happy with my baby boy.

He's worth all the pain.

I thank God for this wonderful birthing experience.
