Just realised that I have been posting the belly buddies for so long that I probably should move to the Baby buddies as our DS2 is now over 2 weeks old!!!@
Ethan William George was born on 4th novemebr at 11:58am, natural birth, VBAC which I was really happy about. He is doing fantastic and putting on weight like crazy. ALready put on a pound since birth and charging along. He grew 1cm in 4 days which is crazy but he also put on 260gms in the same 4 days so we are really pleased with him. He is eating and sleeping well and generally just fitting in with our little rountine. DS1 (18.5months old) is fascinated by him but all is good there at the moment.
We're doing well, feeding 2 hourly during the day and 4-5 hourly at night which is a god-send considering I have no.1 to run around after too. I must admit that I am controlling the day time feeds a bit to make sure that the nights are good which currently seems to be working ok. Ethan is generally pretty placid (except for right now as he is squawking on the floor) and seems to just kind of fit in which is what most people told us will happen. DS1 is coping ok though a little more demanding than in the past. He associates feeding time with reading stories and we now know Dr Seuss's, 'The Foot Book' off by heart! He loves looking at Ethan and touching him so just keeping an close eye on things to make sure touching doesn't turn into poking.
gotta go, DS1 is calling,
Gotta go, Ethan is getting a little worked up.
