This past week has been one of the hardest since the very first two weeks of Scout's life.
Whether it was down to hormones or lack of sleep, I just felt incredibly low and found each day a complete struggle. Scout has been pretty awesome though. Since discovering how to smile at 4 weeks old, he hasn't really stopped. Unless that is, when he's screaming his little head off. We actually ended up taking him to the doctors on Friday to see about the possibility of him having reflux. All of the symptoms read familiar and the doctor agreed with us. Since then, we have been giving him infant gaviscon and it has seemed to help quite a bit. He now happily lies on his back without struggling too much and he's no longer trying to constantly swallow what is in his throat.We think he's been having a growth spurt this weekend. He's been really groggy and super needy, but we can see differences in him each day.
Liam and I had our 5 year anniversary yesterday, hence this post didn't get written then; and although we didn't do anything to celebrate, I can honestly say that I am so thankful to have him in my life. When he's not at work he helps with Scout, giving me a break so I can get things like this and my youtube videos done. It really makes me wonder how single parents do it. I have nothing but respect for anyone who does.
Today has been much easier. I think my body is slowly getting used to the broken sleep and baby screaming. Everyone kept telling me that things get easier after six weeks, and I really hope they're right.
