In love


Can you all believe that our child is two weeks old? On one hand I feel like he has always been here and then I think back and I can't believe that he was just born 2½ weeks ago!
Scott is growing like gangbusters and eating like a fiend - he has me up every 3 hours to eat and then when I am sitting there at 4 am feeling grumpy and tired and generally crap he looks at me with his big eyes and grabs my finger and my heart just melts as I keep falling in love with him every day!
How is it possible that he is so perfect and cute and adorable and smart! The lady from the baby clinic came by on Monday for an intake 'interview' as well as to check up on my mothering skills (checking for nappy rash etc) and to see how the new child is feeling in the world and she was rather impressed by how alert Scott was - all curious eyes and pensive face hahaha its like he is really studying his new world and will probably be filing his report soon!
Dad and I are still struggling with waking up at night but we have managed to put the little tike into his own bed and although it just breaks my heart to see him lying there so small in his big cot its for the best (or so I am telling myself) but Scott still has us pandering to his needs anyway because he is all fussy when things go quiet at night so we have a radio in his room which makes the nappy changes quite fun at 3 am when you herer the most bizarre radio interviews - shame let's hope his taste in music is not affected by the oompha bands and Dutch rock which is also played in the wee hours :-)
Oh wait before I sign off ... Scott has started sucking his thumb .. ADORABLE!!! He'll start fussing and pulling strange faces when I lay him in the pram and then when I go back to look at him there he is lying with the tiny thumb in his mouth and his little fist curled up over his cute little nose .. my heart just breaks - as the subject line says - I am so totally in love with our son!!
