Being Andrew: Week 5 - Visiting with family

Week 5 - Visiting with family!
(9/13/09 - 9/19/09)

This week was a good week, the sleeping is starting to get better and two or three nights this week we have gotten two 3 hour blocks of sleep at night. Although his first 3 hour sleep has been starting at around 7:00pm so I can't take advantage of it since Jacob doesn't go to bed until between 8:30-9:00. But then with a 2nd 3 hour sleep that I can take advantage of I am starting to feel more and more human. It will only get better from here. I have in Jacob's baby book that he starting sleeping in 5 hour increments at around 6-7 weeks old. So I am crossing my fingers.

Andrew is also staying more awake and is getting more and more alert. He will occasionally make eye contact although isn't doing it constantly yet, that will come more in the upcoming weeks. We also got Andrew a minor surgery this week for a family trait that him and his brother had. They were both "tongue tied" which can affect their eating and speech. So with a very minor procedure and little to no crying we got that taken care of now instead of waiting until he is older and would remember the procedure.

We finally got out of the house this week and visited some family. My mom came up to the house and spent the weekend helping me with Jacob and Andrew, and then this week the boys and I packed up and went to visit the boys Great Grandparents for a few hours.
