Not a lot of vocab is coming to me today- most likely due to the fact that OJ decided it would be a grand idea to sleep all day yesterday & stay up from 10pm- 4am this morning.
Oh the joys..
Besides his crippling confusion between night & day, Oscar is settling in beautifully.
Likes/ Dislikes so far;
Likes; Milky boobs, and plenty where that came from. Being attached to me, and walks in the pram
Dislikes; thoroughly dislikes getting his nappy or clothes changed, sunshine anywhere near his face and being awoken for any reason besides boob.
I still can't believe he's here most of the time, although my nipples can. Speaking of which- people who have had boys really weren't kidding about how hungry they are eh? Every hour on the hour- "ah Mum, yes the right one please, yes that will do just fine for the next half an hr". With Blake she daintily latched every 3-4 hours or so. Oh well, at least I haven't had a chance to get overly engorged breasts or mastitis this time, he's too busy draining it all at the speed of light!
And Blake is an absolutely amazing big sister thus far. She somehow already knows to be really gentle with him & all she wants to do is give him big "mwahhhhhs" on the forehead. I truly expected tantrums & a clingy toddler, but thank goodness she's playing the cool calm and collected kid instead- my frazzled mind is hugely grateful to have such a wonderful little girl...
So far we've ventured out for our first family walk, two prams in tow, and today we went for our first outing in the car. Stress city. Lets just say I'll be staying put & ordering groceries online for the next few weeks...
Oh and I had a beer last night, it was glorious!
Here's a few more pics from over the last few blurred days/ nights;
I can't believe she used to fit in there so easily, look at her spilling out of both ends now!
Goodnight folks. Wish me luck!
Thought of the day "sleep is for wimps anyway"
