We have a small breakthrough…
Yay, Andrew did his first full night in his own bed last night, waking only for his feeds then settling quite quickly.
This has been a long time coming, well it seems that way when your awake most of the night, (every ten minutes to be precise) then eventually giving up to put him in his favourite place…my chest. The thing is I wouldn’t have been too bothered about him sleeping there permanently but with the weather getting warmer it was time to make the change as its really bad for him to get too warm.
This isn’t to say I think this is now fixed but fingers crossed it will be a bit easier from now on, that and daddy was stating to be in desperate need of cuddles without said child attatched to my chest, sorry daddy.
Andrew had his 6 week check up a couple of days ago and all’s well apart from he has a small hernia under his belly button that we’ve got to keep an eye on, hopefully it will fix itself ‘cos Im not sure I could keep it together if he needed surgery, I had the same thing when I was little and it needed to be fixed and I know its only a small operation but still its our baby and I’d rather go through it myself ten times over than see him go through it.
Anyway on a lighter note, mummy still smiling, he’s becoming more of a joy with each passing day, we saw his first big smile yesterday and it definatly wasn’t wind, a big cheesy grin, I can’t remember quite what caused it, there’s been a couple of little ones since but nothing quite so big and gorgeous.
His feeding is going well too, after we changed him from breast to bottle, a week ago last Sunday, he’s been so much happier and alot calmer in himself. It was a bit of a stress changing over ‘cos I felt like I should be sticking with the breast feeding, you know as you’re told ‘breast is best’ but I was struggling to produce enough milk even with the constant drinking of what seemed like gallons of water each day but I’m happy to say I’ve got over myself about that, with a little help from Stevens mum (thanks mum x) and he’s really loving the bottle feeds, alot less stressful for him too, after all a happy baby is all that matters.
So, alls good in the Culshaw home and were getting into some kind of routine at last but I’m sure just as things settle down it’ll be all change again, hey ho, the joys of having children, I still can’t quite believe that we’re parents and it makes me smile when I think about it, it’s funny really, I always thought that I’d grow old and grey alone, never to be married and never to have had children, just me and my hundreds of cats and all the kids in the street would be terrified of me, how wrong was I, and now… I couldn’t be happier, all thanks to my wonderful husband.
Well, thats all for now, I hope everyones well
Catcha soon

P.S. Ladies…Theres one thing that your never told about having children, its the fact that your body decides that thats it and that your once sexy underwear is now more like heavy duty scaffolding. Sorry girls, I felt it was my duty to share that with you.
