Happy one week birthday Alexander! We can't believe a week has gone past already. That's probably because it just seems like one long, sleep deprived day. Actually, the last two nights we have been able to get a little more sleep, but he's not yet fully become a creature of the day.
It has been tough going for Steph and I. Alexander is finding it difficult to latch on for feeding, so we're trying various ways to encourage him. We always have to 'finger feed' him though, using expressed milk or formula, to make sure he gets enough food. Hopefully this will only last until he gets the idea of breast feeding properly.
Wow, I can see the content and tone of this blog changing before my eyes!
He may only be a week old, but already we think he has a personality. He makes us laugh and cry with joy. Just the waving of his arms of a facial expression are enough to make it all worth while, despite the frustrations and sleepless nights.
And to see Steph become a mum is to see her exhibit a whole new side of her personality. And it makes me love her even more.
This blog will hopefully grow in importance as we use it to keep our friends and family back in the UK up to date with progress on our little one. It will also be the main place we post new photos of us all and links to any videos we upload. One way to make sure you don't miss any updates is to subscribe to the RSS feed. You can also find us on Facebook, for mini updates.
And finally, we will update the banner picture for the blog soon. We've got a third face to include now!
Tim, you should be a poet. That was a very touching read! It sounds like you are getting the hang of getting on with it all!
ReplyDeleteA workmate said to me that kids can take you to both highs and lows in the space of a few hours, I think it is true!!!!
Keep going with the breast feeding, it can take a week or so to get established. And yes, your language will now change forever!!!! Lansinoh anyone?
Take care,
