Craig, Craig, Craig!

Hi All,

Well now that things have settled down around here I thought that I would post an update. Craig is 4 weeks old today and is doing fantastically. I couldn’t really ask for a better baby. He sleeps well and feeds extremely well! He wakes every 3-4 hours for feeding and lets out an almighty scream when he is ready! He also lets you know when his nappy needs changing but other than that he doesn’t scream a lot. He is very alert and I am amazed at how strong he is. He can lift his head and tries to help you feed him by hanging onto the bottle. Hopefully he stays this calm! He does like to wriggle about so I am thinking he will be an active toddler!

Me on the other hand we I am doing ok. My husband went back to work two days after I got home from hospital (which doesn’t bother me). He is a fantastic help though. He certainly knows what his jobs are when he comes home from work. Lol.. He has also taken over dinner making duties which is great.

I will admit I did do a lot of crying in the first 2 weeks or so. They prepare you for the 3 day baby blues in hospital but no one told me I would cry when I was at home. As much as I love being at home I guess I was struggling with not knowing what to do and really being restricted by not being able to go anywhere. I recovered from my caesarean in about 2 weeks so it has been frustrating. I have looked forward to our weekend outings though. Lol.. I ended up driving yesterday. Stuff waiting for 6 weeks..

I am not sure exactly what I do with my time but it sure goes quickly!
