Hello I'm Jill.

Hello, welcome.
Yep, here's Mikko.
I put him in the Moby, let him sleep.
So kind of stuck with his head here, sorry.
Anyways, what I'm going to do is his one month update!
I can't believe it! I mean actually
he is five weeks old now.
But I mean, pretty much it's the month update.
Anyways, right now he weighs nine pounds, ten ounces.
He is growing!
I think he's 21 inches. I'm pretty sure that's the measurement.
That's what the doctor said.
She said for his weight, his height, and his head circumference,
he's in the 50th percentile.
For all three that's really good.
Overall he's been doing well.
He's eating well.
Typically we feed him every three hours on average.
Sometimes he'll freak out and we'll do two and a half.
But typically every three hours.
We're still feeding him two and a half ounces... bottle fed.
Our doctor said that
typically you do one ounce per month.
So two months is two ounces, three months is three ounces.
But right now we're giving him two and a half.
So we'll see.
Most people tend to feed their baby three or four ounces already at a month old.
So I'm curious if you're bottle feeding,
what your pediatrician's advice is?
I don't know if our doctor tends to do less than what normal is.
I don't know. But anyways,
overnight usually every three hours, sometimes four hours.
Sometimes two, but mostly every three to four hours overnight. Not bad.
He does have a witching hour.
Which typically is about six to eight at night.
Somewhere in there. He just cries a lot.
Then we'll calm him down.
So far he's been much more alert.
A lot more than before.
He wakes up more often and he's more responsive with us.
He's smiling, if you've seen the vlogs.
I'll have a link for that.
You can definitely see that he's smiling now.
He's so cute!
Umm, he has been scratching himself, but the mittens don't work.
I've been trying to clip his nails, but they grow so fast.
He's got a few little scratches on his face, but that's okay.
He's got dry skin, but the doctor said not to put lotion on it.
So I guess we've just been leaving it,
but hopefully that will go away soon.
We have been doing some tummy time with him.
He's been doing like maybe five minutes, but not that much.
He's definitely been lifting his head, kicking his legs.
He's been doing better.
But it's a slow process.
Sometimes he'll do it on the floor.
Sometimes we'll do it on our chest, like ourselves.
But he's definitely lifting his head during tummy time.
Last vlog...
recently, I'm not sure which one,
but one of them I mentioned he was not responding to noise.
Like almost never.
I would use the blender, like really loud things
but he would just not respond.
But now, just recently today as of filming this,
which it's February 11th,
just... that's the day it is,
he actually responded to something.
I think what happened is, if he's in a deep sleep
he doesn't care about stuff.
Like right now he doesn't care.
But if he's in a light sleep,
like this morning I was making coffee for Jenna.
He was like half sleeping, not full sleeping,
but I had him in the Moby.
I used the blender for the coffee and he woke up.
So obviously he can hear,
but he's still young and just doesn't respond that much.
But he's a good sleeper I guess.
We have been using the cloth diapers.
We tried the newborn for the one vlog, like I mentioned.
We tried the newborn ones because our one size diapers didn't fit him.
But that was just the leg part.
But now we switched over to our regular one size cloth diapers
and they seem to be doing okay so far.
Usually it's every three hours.
Sometimes he can go four, but he might leak a little bit in the leg area.
But overall he's been doing really good.
So I think we're definitely gonna fully switch over to cloth diapering.
We've gone out with him,
I mean not traveling, but we've gone to stores and we've done overnight.
So it seems like he's gonna be fine with that.
So now I think I'm gonna invest a little bit more money.
Long time ago when I was pregnant,
I bought like maybe 20 cloth diapers.
All Bumgenious 4.0 pocket diapers.
I think it was maybe about $100.
But now that's not enough to last two days without doing laundry.
I pretty much have to do it everyday.
If he poops or a double change or something like that.
So I think I'm gonna go ahead and invest a little bit more.
I'm gonna look around and buy used again because you save money right.
But I think I'm gonna do that.
Maybe different inserts, I don't know.
I could talk about cloth diapering.
I should make a separate video for that.
But other than that, he really likes the Moby wrap.
He typically falls asleep well if he's in it.
That is what's up with Mikko!
For me just quickly,
I am able to exercise again.
I really have to be careful cause I didn't exercise much during the pregnancy.
Not much for this past first month.
Just because of everything going on.
But I'm starting to exercise again, little by little
and it's getting better.
One thing... I can't really jump because
I could pee myself, just TMI.
So I really need to do more research
and figure out how to improve I think it's the pelvic floor muscles.
You know how to "hold".
Obviously after birth you "ruin that".
But you can improve it later, but anyways.
There's that, so I'm working out a little bit.
I went to the OB for my six week check up,
well it wasn't really six weeks.
She said everything looks fine, no issue there.
So I'm good to go for exercising,
for whatever I need to.
Other than that I've just been doing well.
I'm not really bleeding much now.
Um...
to be honest I'm doing much better mentally.
Much better... not last night.
I had a cry, but I was just really overly tired.
Because I'm not really getting enough sleep so to speak.
I really have to try and figure out how to get at least one nap during the day.
Still trying to work on that,
but overall I think I definitely can do this.
First week alone I did that. Jenna's working now.
I was fine.
Yeah, I definitely think I can do it.
I went to the store by myself with him.
Um, yeah I've done a lot of things.
I think I've finally...
I think I've finally figured I'm meant to be a mom.
Like, I don't know, I'm wondering
maybe being a stay at home mom eventually.
I don't know, we'll see.
But I think...
I don't know...
I'm really starting to like
taking care of him.
I'm more motivated to clean the house, do things.
Just.. kind of weird.
But anyways, that is it.
I'm sure this video is really long now.
Let me know what type of videos you want to see on this vlog channel.
Obviously we'll do the weekly vlog... weekly.
But I can't do daily vlogs for sure.
Just because I have to do voiceovers and captions.
So that's totally impossible.
So weekly vlogs.
