1 Month

Time sure goes by fast when you're having fun! That, and when you're busy changing what seems to be a billion diapers a day, getting zero sleep and are constantly getting peed on! Yesterday was Logan's 1 month "birthday". (Sorry, no ugly cake this time!) I can't believe he is already a month old! It seems like just yesterday that I was this massive, whiney pregnant lady who just wanted the baby OUT! And I will admit it, there have been a few moments where I wanted Logan back IN! For a while there Logan was getting very, VERY fussy every night between 7pm and 11pm. He would cry and cry and cry for what seemed to be no reason! However, (knock-on-wood), with the help of gripe water, he is slowly getting better. His thrush on the other hand, is not.

When Logan was about two weeks old I noticed his entire mouth was white, so we went to the doctor and they gave us an anitbiotic - which thankfully Logan loved taking!! After about a week of it, the thrush went away, or so we thought. A week and a half later it was back, and now we just finished the second round of antibiotics and it still hasn't gone away, so now we start the third round. Hopefully this time we'll get it for sure, but if not, we have two more refills waiting. Fun, fun!

You know whats also NOT fun?? Getting a baby's passport photo taken!! Now that has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever! Why on earth does a baby need a passport?! And if they're going to make your baby get a passport you'd think they could lighten up on the passport photo rules!! But nooooooo... Logan had to have his eyes open and looking at the camera. His mouth had to be closed - but he couldnt be smiling or frowning. AND he had to sit up on his own! Well, we all know he can't do that, so I had to try and prop him up without letting my hand be seen in the photo at all. Let's just say it was disasterous and yesterday was no fun!! But, after going to two different places and having Logan scream nonstop, we FINALLY got the photo taken and hopefully the passport office will find it acceptable and not reject it. (Cross your fingers!!)

Logan is still only going three-four hours between feedings. We had two nights where he went six... but only two nights. Logan has started "talking" to Mark and I, which is a nice break from the crying and screaming. He has also started smiling! Although, I have yet to see one. His first smile was on Sunday at Auntie Wilma's house. Since then I have been bribing him for more!!
