What an incredible week! Matthew hit the 3 month mark this week. 3 months since this little boy entered our lives. I still remember what I did before he was here, but it’s true that I can’t imagine life without him. We started off this week with a growth spurt. This meant Matthew was eating … Read more
“The first 12 weeks are the hardest” “Things all seem to fall into place after 12 weeks” So it gets easier now? (As I write this, and the reason it’s so late, it’s because Matthew has been going through a growth spurt, combined with no sleep, it hasn’t been easier. But that’s for next week) … Read more
I’m going off on a slight tangent this week and focusing on Rob and myself as much as on Matthew. Rob and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary at the beginning of this week. It was hard to believe that so much had happened in a year since we got married and what our lives … Read more
10 weeks and we have a real little man on our hands. When he wants to do something he’s quite determined and gets very frustrated that he can’t do it. This is especially true with tummy sliding. Matthew wants to go forward, but he hasn’t figured out how to do it yet, and after much … Read more
Matthew and I went along to Mummy & Baby Yoga this week. It’s a half hour massage for babies and half hour yoga for the mummy, which is a great way to start back my exercise. We had a special coffee group session as there were a few of us who were keen to do … Read more
Wow, I’m struggling with the thought that Matthew is now at the 8 week point. Time really does go quickly. I found my happy place last week. I had an hour to kill in between morning tea and lunch with different people. Matthew was a little bit grumpy, hungry and tired and sitting in the … Read more
Matthew had his 6 week checkup and first round of inoculations at the beginning of this week. His checkup went well, weight gain on track, no heart murmurs or anything and he was full of smiles for the doctor. He had lots of smiles for the nurse as well, until she had to give him his injections. … Read more
Apparently the first 6 weeks are the hardest, closely followed by the first 3 months. I love having a little baby who just wants to be with me all the time, but a very small part of me just wants my 8 hours of sleep back. It’s a bittersweet thought for me, sleep vs no … Read more
In complete contrast to last week, week 5 has been a greatly busy and new ‘things’ week for my family. The biggest thing i’m stoked about is the smiles. They started off small, a bit of “hrm, are you smiling?” looks, but within a couple of days there they were, clear for anyone to see. … Read more
It’s been a quiet 4th week. We spent most of it at home not really doing anything, I think we might have gone out once. Days disappear at the moment. When you’re up at 11pm, 2am, 5am and 7am, then don’t actually get up to start your day until 11am, all plans that you “might” … Read more
