Bennett is four weeks old already! How does it go by so quickly?? He is eating like a champ (4oz every 2-3 hours). Since day one he has slept all night long only waking to eat every three hours and get his diaper changed then right back down. Last night he went a glorious five hours between feedings! It was awesome. I think he would have went longer but I woke up to him making stretchy groan noises. When I went in there he was still sound asleep. He was sleeping so deeply last night that his diaper was mostly clean... until I woke him up. He pooped on two clean diapers before I could get them on and then topped it off by peeing on me. Thats ok, if he keeps sleeping like that he can poop and pee on me as much as he wants!!
I am having some separation anxiety with his baby stuff. I am ready to clean out the newborn clothes and some three month clothes out of his drawers but I don't want to. I am so sad to get rid of our baby stuff. I sound like a two year old but... Its mine! Ugh. While we are leaving the option for baby #4 open - long down the road - I know in my heart our limit sanity wise has probably been met and baby #4 probably just isn't logical for us. Ya, I can hold and see other peoples babies but its not the same. There is nothing like your own baby. Snuggling them all day long, kissing and squishing them to your hearts content, laying in bed with them for hours. Sigh. From experience with the older two boys I know my snuggling days with Bennett are limited.
