Laugh A Lot

Atticus was spending a quiet morning with Mummy in the kitchen just mulling over the to'ings and fro'ings of the day when I told him the funniest joke. I can't quite remember what it was but it really made him laugh.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Did someone say it was nap time or was I imaginzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Like the Wheels

I felt very comfortable in my new set of wheels, they were certainly more comfortable than the wheels Dad has that we came home from the hospital in. What is with the suspension on that thing he drives? It's like being on a roller coaster when all the ball bearings have gone.



I think I got the better deal :)

Just Gas I Think

Give me a minute, I'll be ok.

Breakfast, Lunch,Dinner and Milk

I was resting between the sofa, bed and nursery for the next two weeks or so. Antun and mum were fab making sure I didn't do anything that would be too much. I was fed and watered on time each day by them and Atti had the same done for him by me.

Antun became quite the expert at diapers and feeding schedules. My mum was indespensible and kept the house all in order and we always had clean socks. Antuns mum arrived for a few days and filled the freezer with lots of beans mmmmmmm. Friends came by and Atticus was an angel and was happy to sit on all laps and be baby talked to without a whimper or whine.

We caught up on lots of sleep, although Atticus did sleep very well, usually only waking up once during the night for a top up and bottom change. I did sneak occasional naps during the day with him, but these were few and far between, even though it's what I was told I should be doing.

Dude what's with the Flash!!!

Can't a boy just can't some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's without all this light - enough already.

Putting My Feet Up

I spent three days in hospital after Atticus arrived, to aid the recovery and because actually moving was something of a problem. Pain, Pain, Pain and Joy. Joy, Joy. Strange mixture of the two, although I did have Drugs, Drugs, Drugs to help with the former. Antun stayed the first night at the hospital to help me should I need assistance during the night. He's not the ideal choice for night duty and promptly fell asleep never to be woken until morning. The second night I sent him home and my mum stayed and was, as I expected, an essential. She was, BTW, staying for five weeks to help with the little one. Aunty Kate visited several time to see Atticus and now has become a firm favourite of his.

Atticus proved a gem and made it pretty easy for me to become a mom. He didn't cry much and was easy to feed, didn't mind Antun changing his diapers and even faced the pricks in his heel for blood test with flair.
