Blessed!
I finally have a moment to write an entry while my sweet baby boy naps. I have been feeling extra lucky lately that I have been blessed with this sweet baby of mine. Exactly one year ago, we had our very first ultrasound where we saw our precious little bean on the screen and we learned that I was 9weeks 5 days pregnant. We also realized that this was our Honeymoon Baby! I almost thought of my pregnancy as a miracle since I was diagnosed with PCOS and I thought I would have troubles getting pregnant. I had no idea when I would get pregnant or what it would take but low and behold, it happened right away! How blessed are we!
So fast forward to today, My son is 5 months old and he is growing more and more each day. Physically he is 26 inches and almost 19 pounds. He has lost a lot of his hair, but it is slowly growing back and coming in lighter than it was at birth. He does still have a complete bald spot on the back of his head though. He has lots of little chubby rolls, which are so so cute. It is very evident that he is well fed by my breastmilk.
Developmentally he is rolling over from belly to back with ease. He can roll from his back onto his belly but he doesn't do that half as often. He is grasping objects with both hands and passing said objects from one hand to the other. He can hold objects and shake them around. He is able to pick objects up if they are in a close proximity to him. He will take an object from someone if they hold it out to him. He has great head control although sometimes you can tell he gets tired out. He flails his arms and kicks his legs and he often rolls onto his side. He is not quite sitting up on his own yet, but that will come before long. He can bear some weight on his legs but it is only for short small little spurts. That is also something that will come before long.
Before we know it, he will be mobile and then it will be a whole different ball game.
I am still exclusively breastfeeding which I am beyond proud of! I am so happy that I stuck with it and kept going even when it didn't come easy to me. Now, it is like a breeze! I LOVE breastfeeding!
We are delaying solids until 6 months because he is perfectly satisfied with nursing at this point...he is growing and thriving and I feel like he doesn't need solids yet.
We are also extremely lucky that our baby boy is sleeping through the night!
We had him baptized and it was a beautiful ceremony and a really fun party afterwards. I was so happy to be bringing him into our faith. We felt blessed and loved and again, extremely lucky!
I can't put into words how it feels to be a mother but it is the best thing in the world. I love being a mom but even more so, I love being HIS mom. He is a happy baby, always smiling and laughing and I feel like since we are so happy, he too is so happy.
LOVE & LIGHT, until next time. <3
