Saturday Greyson was officially 1 month old. I truly cannot believe how fast this month has gone! He is a wonderful baby, and no I'm not just saying that because he's mine :o) He really is a very easy going little guy. Unless he's hungry he's typically pretty content. He's starting to get on a decent schedule, eats and sleeps really well! His first stretch at night lasts from 4-6 hours right now, and then the 2nd stretch is around 3 hours later. He eats like a pig which means he's growing like a weed! Our little guy isn't really so little anymore. He fully fills out 3 month onesies already! It won't be too much longer before they are too small.
I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around having such a big baby. Griffin was such a peanut for so long. It seemed like it took forever for him to reach 8lbs. Greyson being born over 8lbs still just blows my mind. At his 2 week check up (he was almost 3 weeks old though) he was in the 94th percentile for length and the 87th for weight! Griffin has barely ever been over the 50th in anything.
He loves to snuggle (so does Mommy!) He's also starting to react to our voices. My parents visited over the weekend, and any time Grandma or Grandpa were holding him, and he heard either Matthew or me, he would acknowledge our voices and either turn his head or move his eyes to our direction. When he's really awake he makes the greatest faces and will make them back to us when we make faces at him.
I have loved being home with him, and cannot believe how fast my maternity leave is going. My saving grace is I will work for 3 weeks and then be done for the summer. My only goal for the remainder of my leave, is to snuggle this little guy as much as humanly possible.
My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)
