The little man is getting bigger and it’s wonderful. Every day he seems to change in some little way. He’s not the same kid that he was 3 weeks ago and I am definitely not the same woman I was 3 weeks ago.
Every day I feel like I get a little bit better at managing the changes in our lives. I get a little more confident in my own skills. Our little family is starting to get it’s own groove and it’s lovely.
HUBBY has been back at work for a week now and I’m managing, not just managing but enjoying our day together. It’s great.
We’ve gotten his poop problem under control but in it’s place we’re now battling with wind/gas which is making him unsettled. This has meant that night time sleep is not happening like it used to. Last night he was up every 2nd hour between the hours of 10pm and 6am. Not fun for any of us. It’s made even more painful because I’m currently trying to stave off a cold.
I think I’ve managed to let myself get so run down that I’ve gotten a small cold. I’m praying madly that it doesn’t transfer to Sam. Yesterday I was pretty shattered to the point where HUBBY finished work early just so I could go to bed – which was handy because it meant I was able to be up with Sam all night last night.
I find myself missing Sam when I hand over to HUBBY for the evening shift so I can get some sleep. I spend so much time with him during the day and I love it. I love watching him sleep. I love reading with him. I love just pottering around the house talking to him about everything and nothing.
I am so blessed and so thankful. I’m also so tired…

I hope you get better soon. Parenting when under the weather is not pleasant.
Beautiful post. I think colds are going around at the moment, I’m sniffing and sneezing and using heaps of tissues. Might have to take out shares in Kleenex. Your little man is so cute and it sounds like things are settling down. Having a new baby guarantees that you won’t get a lot of sleep for the first little while, but it does improve thank goodness. Hope you feel better soon.
Gosh he’s cute. Sorry you’re sick, what a pain in the proverbial!
Oh feel better soon! It is so hard to take care of a little one when under the weather. I’ve been sick twice this pregnancy and it’s made taking care of Rohan a real challenge.
ps. I have no idea if I’m ready for this middle of the night shifts yet lol. Rohan was up every two hours for feedings the first 12weeks of his life..We started to think we’d never sleep again
I love, love, love the bottom right photo. I just want to squeeze him!
I’m sorry sleep etc is not going so well. There are always ups and downs, and it will get better again, but that doesn’t really help you feel less tired or anything.
