Blake's One Month Old

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month, well really last year!! In my silence, we had a BABY!! I want to be good at keeping the blog going to document Blake's milestones like I have Carters. So I'll back track soon and get caught up on everything, but in the meantime...


Let me introduce you to...

Blake Porter Harwood

He is now 1 month old!!

Ohhhh how time flies...

As of today, he is 11lbs 13oz, and 23 inches long. Both in the 95 percentile!! Hello big baby!!

The crazy thing is, Blake was born at 9lbs 15oz, but lost alot of weight the first week. By the time he was 2 weeks old he was back up to 9lbs 12oz. So in two weeks he's gained 2lbs.

Blake is a sweetheart but is very different from his brother so far. Carter honestly was like the EASIEST baby. Never cried much, slept long stretches at night by 4 weeks, didn't really have fussy periods. I mean we had it EASY. Well Blake cries alot, has some lungs on him. He has acid reflux, so we have projectile vomiting a lot. Tummy issues, screaming from it hurting. So he's not sleeping more than 3 hours at night because of the discomfort. Blake loves to be held too, where Carter was content to be put anywhere. Needless to say, we are tired and exhausted and its like having a first child all over again. But we are making it. 

Having 2 kids is also an adjustment. This is my first week by myself with both boys when Carter isn't at school 3 times a week. So far it hasn't been terrible. There have been some meltdowns from the 2 year old, but whats new, haha. And Carter is coming around on Blake. He just ignored him at first, but is doing better.
