Tuesday, November 19th at 6:07 pm Dustin Glenn Plastow joined our family! He weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and measured 19 inches long.
Dave was a huge help with the whole labor process, got to cut the cord, and give Dustin his first bath.
Dustin is such a happy little guy! After each feeding (during the day) he is awake for a half hour to 45 minutes just looking around checking out the world!
He loves to snuggle and only cries when we get him dressed (yup, we have another nudist on our hands...) or if he's not getting food fast enough.
He sleeps like a champ! No day and night confusion for this little man, although he does wake up every 3 hours to eat. He also is a great nurser, which is such a change from Logan.
We were released on Thursday and headed home to spend lots of time resting and snuggling with Logan.
Logan just loves his "liggle brother" or "Mr. Dustin"! He requests to hold him, he peaks into his bassinet to make sure the baby is ok, and will tell me when it's time to feed him. Once he told me "It's time to put Dustin to bed and Mom play with Logan." Fortunately it was just after feeding, so I could easily comply and give Logan the attention he needed.
He had a real hard time coming home (from Grandma & Grandpa's house), and has had quite a few accidents. But we'll get it together. He woke up and asked "Where is baby Dustin?" I heard him tell Dustin a few times "I love you so much Dustin!" So we're getting there. It will just take some time to get used to a new member of the family.
Congratulations! So cute. I have a nudist too. She loves baths, hates getting dressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We are big fans, even if we don't sleep anymore
DeleteHe is so tiny and adorable!! Glad you were able to go into labor on your own. Looks like Logan is a proud big brother. Good luck with the round the clock mothering! Hope you're able to relax and enjoy things as much as you can!
ReplyDeleteThanks! He is too cute to begrudge him the sleepless nights too much.
