Our first few days with daddy at work

There is no doubt about it having Jason at home was fantastic, he would do the late shift and me the night to morning shift, it was great i at least got a few hours unbroken sleep before my shift started after midnight. the first few nights that i was on my own to do all the feeds was exhausting. I seem to be getting into a rhythm now, except i keep waking up early for his feeds waiting for him to wake. I am worried that i wont hear him when he wakes.
We have had to put our little man into his own room, I am such a light sleeper and being a new mum any little noise kept me awake wondering if he had wind or wasn't sleeping and so on...
I was reluctant to put Liam in his own room as it is so far away from ours. without the angel care monitor I don't think i could have relaxed enough to sleep with him so far away. But it has been a really good solution, I am now getting to sleep in between feeds.
Liam and I seem to be getting into a rhythm, i haven't been out of the house since Jason went back to work because until yesterday I wasn't allowed to drive, or lift the pram. (4 weeks post op)
so I am a little unsure about going out on my own with Liam, Its been so long I cant remember how to use the capsule in my car so ill get the book out and study before i go.
I have a weigh in with Liam tomorrow so I have got to go out and about! Look out world here we come!!!!

our progress at home.

We have been home 2 weeks now and seem to be settling in just fine, we have had a few sleepless nights with liam thinking that its playtime after midnight.
Jason has only 1 more week of holidays left and then im on my own with the little man. a bit of a daunting idea. I think mainly because the lack of adult conversation.
At liam's last visit to the nurse (on friday), he had grown almost 2cm and he is now 3.66kg.
Jason and I attended jason's 10 year school reunion last evening, where liam was a hit with all the girls. (already a heart throb) liam was extremely well behaved except when daddy had to stop for fule and the car wasn't moving! (things went well as soon as we got back on the road again) Well we are about to go for a walk to the dog off a leash area so i must sign off and catch you all later

Were Home!

Liam and I are now home and getting into the swing of life outside hospital, jason and I are a little tired to say the least, but wouldn't change things even if we could. Liam seems to be a very happy contented baby even though he had to spend 2 days in Phototherapy. He was just a little trooper. Jason has been fantastic, he looks after us so well i'm a very lucky girl to have him. He is just the best dad and so proud of his little man. Thankyou to everyone for your well wishes and thoughts we hope to be in contact with you all in the comming weeks when I have recovered a little more. Take care untill we see you again Trudie, Jason and Liam
