Velcro Baby

Baby Lucas is already a month and a half old and he has already shown in so many ways that he is so different than his brothers. As I said in my last post, I’ve been successfully breastfeeding him and I think that may be part of the reason why but, he is attached to me 24/7! He always wants to be on me nursing, using me as a pacifier, or sleeping on my chest. Bedtime has become difficult because as soon as he’s put down, he opens his eyes. When we go anywhere, I have to wear him with a front carrier which makes my already bad back even worse lol. Once, I tried to just run to the store down the street while he was sleeping and as soon as I got in the car my husband called and said he was already screaming! I am in desperate need of getting my nails and toes done, I even put applied stick on nails for Christmas because I’m not sure when I’ll ever be away from him long enough to go to a salon! All of this can be so frustrating but I do also really love the bond that we have. Seeing him nuzzle into my chest and fall asleep knowing I’m his safe place melts my heart. I am trying to use this time as a lesson to just slow down and enjoy life. I know this won’t last forever and he will grow up too fast so I’m trying to just soak it all in while I can especially because this will most likely be my last baby. So even though this is a short and sweet blog, breastfeeding has become my life so that’s all I have to update on and this is about the amount of time he’s going to give me to have to myself for the night!-
