It's been a while since I have posted for you all across the States. Timothy has been doing well for a three week old. He is also telling me when he is overwhelmed and then can't calm down. He doesn't know exactly how to calm himself if he melts down. Fourth trimester is underway and we are working on calming him based on a book called The Happiest Baby on the Block.
He is over his first cold. His diaper rash is finally under control, thanks to warm water spray downs, lanolin products for healing cracked skin and diaper rash creams. Did I fail to mention cloth diapers are helping with this as well? It's more breathable than traditional disposable diapers and with his sensitive little butt, we needed to try anything and everything. I really am an ameture at being a mother, but with the proper guideance, we will all step up into our roles.
Timothy is starting to track you and is very interested in men's beards. My friend, Mike, held him for a half hour and nearly the entire time, Timothy was enthrawled with his facial features. Then in the distance, heard a familiar friend's voice and turned to listen intently. Lisa spent a lot of time in my prep class and talking to my stomach here and there. And since he can pick out familiar voices now, he looks around much more in the direction of familiar things. Very cool to watch!
I visited a chiropractor and my sacrum is completely shifted and pulling the muscles on my left side from my neck to my knee. Therfore, I am in need of a little assistance.. I was referred to a woman right down the street from my office and she worked on me yesterday for two and a half hours. I do feel better, but now I'm bruised and swollen from her!
Enjoy some of the new pictures I took the other day under the same link! I update it every so often.
Love and Light!
Sandra
