My baby isn't so little anymore. My guess is that by Christmas he'll be double his birth weight and fingers crossed, my poor wrists will be strong enough to hold him because he's already very heavy - he's a big sack of potatoes!
For the last three nights, he's surprised us by sleeping through the night. Generally from 10pm to about 5-6am in the morning which has given the hubby and me a good night's sleep - though I find I'm craving more sleep now and it takes me a good couple of minutes to get myself out of the bed to get to bub who's in the next room. The hubby is a lot better and will get up straight away and sometimes bring bub back into our room where he'll join me for another hour or two of sleep before we get up to the start the day.
I'm not as anxious these days or concerned about how the week will pan out with bub. Between mothers group and catch up with mums and friends who are off work during the week, the weeks have been filling up very quickly and before we know it, it's the weekend and we get to have some family time. It's helped that Christmas is only a mere 4 weeks away as I've been helping mum with her Christmas shopping so that keeps us busy when we have a spare moment. The return of some not so hot weather has meant we've been able to take walks during the day which has been great for me to stretch those legs.
This week we're planning to hit one of the mums and bubs movie sessions (please wish me good luck!) and have our mothers group Christmas party. We're off to visit Liam's one year old friend Ethan and Christmas cards are under way for some lucky ones. Still some more Christmas shopping to do and well, I think my postie and I are going to be best friends by the end of the week!
