tired...

so I have decided to transition Matty into his crib to sleep. We have a video monitor that Robyn's mom gave us so i can not only hear him in his room but i can also see him. Its definitely comforting. Unfortunately, i picked a time where he isnt sleeping very well because he is going through a growth spurt. He will sleep for like an hour or less and then want to eat every hour. I know it would be easier if he was in the bed with me [he has a co sleeper bed that goes in our bed]. But with Cameron coming home in like 4ish weeks, i want matthew in his own room. :-) Someone told me that babies dont like to be in their own room when they are little is because they spent the last nine months attached to us [in the womb]and then they get ripped away as soon as they get out. They apparently can smell our scents. I dont know if that is true, but i know that isnt why he is fussy at night. This is day two of it and both nights he slept for 3.4-5 hours straight through. He was up every other hour after that but thats cuz he was hungry. Now he is sleeping again.

I also started taking fenugreek. Its an herbal supplement that is supposed to help increase your milk supply. I know im not making alot. After every feed, matty seems sooo hungry still. We will see. A girl i know andrea took it and within 24 hours her milk was overflowing. Hopefully that will be the case. The only time he seems satisfied after a feed is i skip breastfeeding for a feed or 2 and just give him formula then the next time he can feed on the breast and get everything he needs. oh how trying this breast feeding thing is. I am not going to be doing it for that much longer either.. i can just tell me and him both get sressed out.. No one tells you about the things you have to decide when you have a baby. Everyone has an opinion about it and feels like they have to voice it. Especially people who have never had a baby, or plan on having a baby, or have even ever been around babies. its soo aggravating. It would be like me giving advice to some one about welding a pipe together. I have no idea how to do anything like that..lol


other then that nothing else is going on.
fun fun fun....

except that i miss cameron...
