Three weeks in...

Three weeks into motherhood...where has the time gone!


We are JUST starting to get a handle on things...it seems that life revolves around feeding the kid around the clock...just when we think we're done...we're due for another feeding in a very short time. Thank goodness the husband has taken the lead with the diapers...and thank goodness my mom has been by every day to help out.


Phew! I don't know how people are able to handle twins etc. because our singleton certainly keeps us on our toes!


Here are some of the highlights and lowlights of the last three weeks:


Number of people pooped on: 2

(Joe and my Mom were victims of my poor diapering techniques...it LOOKED like it was on properly...)


Number of times Baby S "christened" the change table (and anyone nearby) during a diaper change: countless

(you'd think we would've learned to cope by now...nope...ahhh...the joys of having a son...)


Number of family walks with the dog a day: 2

(Casey has yet to learn that suddenly walking in front of the stroller is not a good idea...so oblivious)


Number of hours of continuous sleep at any given time: 2

What's REM sleep again? It's foreign to me now...



Number of feedings in a day: 7-8

Yup...that's every 3 hours or so...hence never sleeping for more than 2 hours at a time...sigh...

Number of visitors so far: 6

Let us know if you want to pop by to see Baby S! No sickies though! (Still a germaphobe...I know...)

Number of funny facial expressions that Baby S makes: too many to count!

I'll try my best to take more pics...he's just too funny! =)

Post pregnancy food update:

As mentioned in one of my earlier posts, there are many foods that I have been craving for the last 9 months or so. I am happy to report that I have eaten many of the items on the list! My first week after the baby was born was not so fun...I had zero appetite and was in no shape to eat much of anything. I have recovered since then and have indulged on many of my favourites! The only things that I have NOT had a chance to eat yet are the following: vietnamese sub, screamer, rare steak and undercooked eggs. Sounds like the making of one heck of a breakfast meal all at once if you ask me! I will get to these items soon enough...=)
