Baby Enoch is home! When Enoch was born he had amniotic fluid in his tummy, he would gag and throw it up. It was awful and scary. When Marsha came to see him in the hospital she could only hold him for so long because his gagging scared her so much. He also had a difficult time with his sucking reflex, I had to train him on a binky and my finger for a bit to get him to suck properly. But by the time we were home he had it about figured out. Nursing was hard, he would almost choke with every feeding, it freaked me out. Napping was even scarier because he would forget to breath and wake up gasping for air. Arghh! I was a nervous wreck with him for 3 months! We didn't do anything or go anywhere for those first 3 months. Poor baby Enoch was just a difficult little guy and it wasn't even his fault, he was sick from week two until about 3 months because our little miss Isabeau loves to smother him with kissy kisses! If it wasn't for the 'Nose Frida' nose sucker we would not have survived. I never new such a little baby could have so many boogers! Poor thing :( In his little mind he was probably thinking 'why did I come down to this earth!'
Our nights were rough, Enoch would wake up every 1 and 1/2. As he got bigger it stretched to 2 hours then 3 and now he can easily get 4 hours. I wished I had taken a full 12 weeks off (3 months)of work, because it was around 3 months that he finally was happy and comfortable. Even though he is still sensitive to certain things I eat, I feel his tummy is much better now that he is 3 months old. He sleeps so well now, thanks to a baby swing. We finally got one after friends told us having a swing made night and day difference for their colic baby. Enoch loves, loves, loves his swing! He will sleep forever with motion. I bought a swing for Marsha's house and 2 sound machines, so that he could sleep for her. Such a sensitive little baby, can't wait to see his personality surface! Enoch is now 3 1/2 months old and doing great! Today was June 16, the first day he has been good at Marsha's! Yeah Baby Enoch! I picked him up after work and Marsha was so excited to tell me how good of a baby he was. What a happy day! I'm so glad he is getting happier to be here in this crazy wide wide world!
