1. Age this week? 5 weeks

2. Achievements/happy moments from the week? He's been smiling at me intermittently this week! It's probably gas, but omg is it adorable!!!

3. Challenges? I have a personal challenge, not so much a challenge with the baby this week. I went to a family doctor this week (woo! adulting! I haven't had a family doctor since I was a pediatric patient, lol.) regarding the wrist pain I Still have. She said I have De Quervain's tenosynovitis. The only thing I can think of is maybe I was using my hands stupidly during my pregnancy to compensate for the carpal tunnel when I couldn't feel my hands. So I need to be aware of how I'm using my wrists because I can't just NOT use them which is what I was told to do. (Sorry newborn, mommy can't hold you. :eyeroll:) She prescribed a heavy duty anti-inflammatory that I am to take 2x a day and hopefully when I go back in a month, it'll be better. (I HOPE!!!)

4. How are the adults doing? We're good!

5. Got a cute pic from this week to share?

QOTW: Are you watching anything good on TV this week? Someone on D16 recommended The Crown on Netflix. It's very good!

lastnamewithheld I have had that at various stages with both kids when I have been carrying them a lot. Do you use a wrap or carrier? You're at the age lo is going to want to be held a lot and a carrier might save your wrist.

I do have a carrier! It's pretty great to actually get some stuff done around the house when DS refuses to be set down.

E is 3 months old now 13 weeks!

She is so much more aware and looking around I swear she has smiled at me a few times. She is sleeping in her room at night in the mamaroo but still

She is still fussy and still does a lot of pushing and grunting.
