The driveway finally has asphalt, but we can't drive on it yet.
The swaddling mostly works still, but Henry is starting to get very strong and Incredible Hulks his way out when he's really pissed. Also when he's really pissed, and he's crying really hard (like when I'm making him a bottle or something and he isn't interested in being patient), he works up this major sweat on his face. All over his nose and forehead. It's actually kind of funny. My co-worker says her daughter does the same thing. I'm glad it's not just Henry. As funny as it is, I've never seen anything like it before.
And let me tell you how glad I am to not be breastfeeding this kid. He started off eating twice as much as the other babies in the hospital nursery. At discharge, he was taking about four ounces every four hours. He has now increased the amount to about 5-6 ounces, but has actually DEcreased the time between feedings to 3-3/12 hours during the day. And Level 1 nipples were too weak for him. Remember that he'll only be 3 weeks old tomorrow. I should weigh him on my garage sale baby scale later. Since we don't know what his due date actually was, I wonder if he was very late and that's why he's so ahead of the game on eating.
