5 weeks 1 day

What a crazy few weeks since I last posted. I should really update alot more often as bub changes everyday with his personality and quirks, and just everything. Gosh I love him, even when he's screaming his head off. lol

Managed to catch some of bubba's FIRST SMILES!! How awesome is that!! Although the poor little bubba looks like baby me in these pictues haha they were taken at 4 weeks!



Also have had lots of visitors still! We had aunty carmel and dad come down, we've had Leesha down for 3 days, Lisa and Ella came for a visit, Tanja has come for a visit, Kerry has come a few times, and Jess H has come a couple of times aswell, She took lots of photo's of bub with her camera, and that one above is just a sample. :)
Aswell as visitors we have done lots of visiting ourselves!

We've also joined a mothers group! Every tuesday afternoon 1-3pm since bub was 3 weeks and 3 days.

We got our twinkle toes done aswell!! How good does it look!?! Well worth the $160!!

Past 3 nights bub has slept from 10/11 to 3/4!! So we've had 3 nights of 5 hour gaps!! Loving it and hope he keeps it up!

He also plays a game with his dummy! He'll suck it, spit it out, then cry for it, you put it back in for him and REPEAT! lol, he wants it, he just loves spitting it out aswell!! haha as terrible as it sounds I would love to attatch a ribbon or elastic band to it and just put it around his head so it stays on!!!! LOL

He also loves to fall asleep in your arms rather than in his rocker throughout the day, hates sleeping in the pram! Night time he is fine, feeds then goes straight back to sleep in his bassinet.

And he is definately not as floppy anymore, has better head control, although he can still fling his head around a fair bit.

2 weeks 3 days old

Thought I would share some of the professional photo's we got taken when bub was 13 days. Cheeky bub was only asleep for 10mins out of 3.5 hours, so I can't wait to see what she did manage to get in the small amount of time he was asleep!

Will be putting one of the photo's into his twinkle toes frame which we will get in a few weeks - we went down and got his moulds done on sunday!

So the past 2 weeks and 3 days have gone so fast! and my little bubby has grown up so much already since he was born, I'm still getting used to the lack of sleep... kind of can't wait til he sleeps through a bit more, but I don't wanna wish away the time I have with a little newborn bub.

We've had the home visit from the early childhood centre nurse. She did his check, everything is fine, except he is still under his birthweight... so we have to have longer feeds, and I have to express 2 feeds a day to top him up. If he's not up to birthweight by friday she's gonna get us to give him formula to help him gain weight - something I reallllllllly do not wanna do, so fingers crossed!! it's only 40g he has to put on so hopefully we should be right.

Also hadn't been attatching him to the boob correctly :( I find the right way alot more uncomfortable!

All in all I am having fun with my new bubba, love all the faces he pulls, noises he makes, love it when he falls asleep on me after a feed, and I love the new baby smell!

I will try and update here as often as I can, as I would like to have some sort of record of bubs life early on to look back on. Not just the pregnancy! :)
