So the little man is now 7weeks3days old and OMG he is growing up way too fast. He smiles lots now which is so nice. When he cries he has tears :( breaks my heart to see them but I do also know he is OK, just wanting something.
Last couple of days have been rough on him, he has been extremely unsettled and its my own fault but today our routine is back and he is doing well. His reflux was really bad too but I put up the dose and that seems to have helped for now.
We have decided to sell the house if I haven't mentioned it. Goes up for Auction on the 11th Dec. We had professional photos done yesterday for all the advertising so DH and I have been going crazy the last few days to get everything done! We kinda over stretched ourselves but we wanted to make sure we get as much as we can for the house. I spent 3 days painting 5 rooms and a hallway, then I had to completely clean and style everything. DH spent the 4 days doing the gardens. The house looks absolutely amazing now and I wish were were staying but I know its for a good reason.
Growing up I never really got to spend any time with my dad at all. My parents were always busy working to ensure they could give us the best. of course I want to give my kids the best but I also learnt the value of family. We only ever had 1 family holiday in my entire childhood. I don't want to be like that with my kids. I am not thinking expensive holidays just simple camping ones, we didn't even get that as mum and dad just had to always work. Since Tyler was born DH has been either working or maintaining this place and doesn't get any quality time with him, let alone think about the possibility of going on a holiday with the family. So we are downsizing, a smaller block and house, older style so it frees us up financially too. I am happy to do heaps around the house, I was amazed at what we were able to achieve here in only 4 days. As long as its clean and liveable thats all that matters for now.
The open houses start this weekend with VIPs coming through this Saturday and then general public the weekends following.
So yeah with all the renovating DH and I were doing we didn't get any time with Tyler I had to feed him and hand him to my mum and keep going, or I had to put him in his bassinet or cot or bouncer and hope he entertained himself. This of course didn't work too well and he spent most of the last 4 days very upset. But with lots of sleep last night and heaps of cuddles this morning he is much more settled.
On another note I have been crazy thinking about number 2. Tyler is only 7 weeks old we can't possibly move onto number 2 yet, but I am so excited about our growing family. Its such an exciting time. I am so stupidly excited about Christmas, I am having to completely restrain myself from buying stuff. I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree. I normally do a quick job but this year I am going to deck it all out. I know Tyler is still too young to appreciate it but it doesn't matter it is still his first Christmas. I have already bought him a little Christmas suit for the day, which came with a reindeer hat. So cute. I also bought the huggies Christmas nappies. He wouldn't be far off 6kg if he isn't already, I haven't had him weighed in nearly 2 weeks and he was 5.4kg then. He went up to 00 yesterday. Growing way too fast. But in terms of number 2 DH and I have kinda talked about it, he asked if I fell pregnant now would that be safe. The answer is yes. physically I am not sure if I am ready to be pregnant again, but if it happened I would be so happy and I would deal with it. Don't get me wrong we aren't trying but at the same time we aren't stopping. At this point the plan is still actively start trying in March but I am hoping it doesn't involve TTC again. Thats a rollercoaster I am very happy to be off. My heart goes out to those still struggling through it.
In terms of weight loss, I have noticed my clothes are looser but I am not lighter on the scales yet. All the work around the house the last couple of days, really worked every single muscle group and I always gain a little bit before the numbers start dropping on the scales. I want to start running soon but I have to start out slowly! I have never been the most patient person and when it comes to running I like to push myself so hard it hurts. The pain post pregnancy is totally different. Oh well I will get there.
I am looking forward to the weather heating up too, I have swimmers for both Tyler and I now so I can't wait to take him for his first swim! :)
Thats a long enough update for one day, of course finish it off with some pictures!!
He definitely inherited his daddy's frown. This isn't a bad frown its a trying to understand what on earth you are saying mummy!
He loves his sleeping bag. DH's sister bought them for him and OMG he loves them and it really helps him sleep! Settles him so well especially as he hates being wrapped now. As you can see he needs a bigger one lol! nice round belly!
I will never get tired of his smiles!
My big boy! Wearing his 'Mummy's little hero' suit
He has found his hands. He stares at them very intently trying to figure them out!
