stretching him out and cooing

So now that my little baby boy is 5 weeks old, we (meaning me) have started stretching out his feedings at night in order to eventually.. one day.. be able to sleep through the night.. Now he kinda wakes up around 2:30ish and basically chills in my arms till abt 4:30ish, when I feed him then he sorta goes back to sleep until 6:30.. However this morning he was awake and therefore I was awake. Around 5:45 this morning my son learned how to coo. I hear this low grunt, then it starts getting higher, then a cooooo, then it goes down again. It was very very very cute and I didn't mind having been up since 2:30- I just sat and listened to him.

So that was exciting. He is just my very cute baby boy. Have I said that yet? I need to work on getting that Dr. Sears book before his first shot appt in 3 weeks- eek! I need to do that tomorrow. I am constantly reading all my baby books to see what's next and what they say abt this and that. But I really think parenthood kinda comes naturally. If he cries, you see whats wrong and fix it. But I have to say having my parents here have been a big help, as my mother has over 30 yrs of child-rearing experience :)

I have soo much stuff I want to do in the next couple of weeks and months. I had a really relaxing day today though and I watched several tv shows (better get it all in before I tone it down perhaps??) and I swear each show I watched had a pregnant womyn giving birth! And now I can relate to them. Its cool.

Okay I have to go to bed now, but all is well..
