My mood while writing this blog: Thoughtful

Well, tomorrow is April 4th...That means my little Greyson will be a month old. I cannot even believe it has been a month since I had him! It seems like it was just yesterday! We are ending our second week since my parents left and Greyson and I have been on our own during the day while hubby is at work. I remember that first Monday after they left and how much of a mess I was. He was crying frequently and I felt so helpless because I didn't know what to do to get him to stop. Oh to be a fly on the wall on those days! Now we are doing great! He has his moments where I don't know why he is crying after I have taken care of all his other needs, but eventually we work it out. Also, now a month later I am finally feeling human again after my C-section. I feel like my old self! This is the reason I think that I am looking forward to being pregnant again! lol I actually really miss it and can't wait to do it again. However, we wont even be considering it till Greyson is a year old at least both because I need to give my uterus time to heal from my C-section and we have to make sure we are financially ready for it. I feel happy knowing next time I will be going straight to the C-section!

Greyson is doing great at a month old. I'm not sure how much he weighs exactly, but I imagine its around 10 lbs by now. He has outgrown his newborn clothes finally due to the fact that he is a long boy, but is still swimming in most of his 0-3 months. He is on a pretty good schedule at night waking up around 1 or 2 for a feeding then again around 4 or 5, so we are getting a decent amount of sleep. He is strictly on formula now due to some of my health issues, so my hubby can help out with those feedings. By the way, I have the most amazing husband in the world! He helps out so much with the baby and loves doing it!

The thing that isn't so great is that my blood pressure is STILL high! I have been going to the doctor every week since I had Greyson due to the blood pressure. I am on my 3rd medication now which my doctor advised me not to breastfeed while taking, so I am hoping this 3rd medication will be what works. I go back next week for another blood pressure checkup and then back the next week for my 6 week checkup. On a good note, I am 45 lbs down from my pre-pregnancy weight, which I am ecstatic about! Well thats all I have to report for the time being! I hope everyone is doing well!

Here are some pics I took of him...
