Isak update

Isak is now nearly 3 weeks old and everything is going very well. We went to the midwife on Monday and he weighed 3.7 kg. Because he has had a runny nose and has been coughing a bit she asked a doctor to come and listen to his lungs. Better to get it checked since he is so little, but the doctor said that there is nothing to worry about as long as he doesn't have a temperature.
Isak is a very awake baby and looks at everything around him with his big eyes. He can be awake for about 3 hours during the day sometimes, but he can also sleep for 3 hours during the day. He goes to sleep as soon as we put him in the car seat and he has also slept really well in the pram in a sleeping bag.

His night sleep is ok. He now goes to bed at 7 every night which is nice since Jakob also goes to bed at 7. Normally he wakes for a feed at 11pm but sometimes he sleeps a bit longer than that. After his first feed he sleeps for 2-3 hours before the next feeds. He doesn't cry at all at night, just wakes up and quietly goes back to sleep after his feed. It can still take a bit of time before he goes to sleep and I can't put him down before he is asleep, but that doesn't really matter.









Today Adam has been in Kalix all day and Isak and I have had a day at home just the two of us. It was nice to get some quiet time at home after having visitors and after being out and about the last few days. I caught up on some house work and paper work, had a sleep, watched some tv and just enjoyed spending time with Isak.
