5 weeks / 5 semanas

This week I'm getting busier. I'm starting to emit sounds, gargle, and smile more (still more of a reflex, but it normally happens after I feed and someone is talking to me). I also had a few visitors and had another midwife appt. I weighed in at 10 lbs even! YEs, I'm getting chubby! :-) Mom says that I no longer look like a newborn.
I still have difficulties falling asleep. Well, let me explain this better. I love observing everything around me so that I have a hard time disconnecting and falling asleep during the day. My parents have to literally force me to sleep during the day, otherwise I get really tired, don;t feed well, and get really cranky.
Also, I am still fighting sinuses mucus, and it really gets bad in the middle of the night. As a result, I have been having a very poor latch, which makes me ingest more air than usual. The result: gas and colic. Therefore, I sleep well the first part of the night, but then it becomes really hard to sleep after 1 - 2 am, and hence, I've been really cranky in the mornings. Fingers crossed I'll get better soon...
