On July 27th, Logan was two weeks old. The first two weeks were kind've a blur. Between the lack of sleep, getting used to having a newborn again, breastfeeding again, and dealing with all the issues of having a 2 1/2 year old with a new baby brother...it was all pretty exhausting!! However, as we are now going on three weeks, things are starting to settle down. Logan is a very good eater and still sleeps quite a bit. After having fits of screaming after every feeding, we realized he was suffering from acid reflux. At his 2 week appointment, the doctor started him on Zantac and he's doing much better now. Taking care of Logan is a breeze compared to taking care of Izzy these days!! She has had a real hard time adjusting to having her baby brother at home. She has been misbehaving and acting out a lot and doing things she never used to do. She is being very defiant and also isn't sleeping well. Not to mention, she pinches and pulls Logan's hair any opportunity she gets!! It's been very difficult to deal with her behavior since we know it's mostly due to all of the changes. On the other hand, hurting Logan and much of her behavior has been completely unacceptable and we've been having to punish her A LOT! We've had several talks with her about all of these issues and constantly reassuring her of how much we love her, but I hope she is starting to understand that Logan needs our love and attention too. As time goes on, I believe she will start settling into her new role as big sister and this new normal in our home. We are so thankful for our sweet Isabelle and our new blessing Logan.
