Settling in

Tickle tickle.

Sebastian clocks Grandma Julia.

Does my head look big in this?

Family day out at the Marina.

Daisy's class prepared a Mother's Day treat for us. This was them ready to sing a song. It was really sweet. I cried but blame tiredness.

Decorating cupcakes.

Oi!

Look mummy, my mouth is open, that means FEED ME.

Sebastian loves giving Andy a home from work cuddle and vice versa.

The boys bond.

I'm feeling great today as last night for the first time Sebastian went 3 hours without feeding so I got a decent sleep, hurrah! It must have been to celebrate being 4 weeks old.

Julia left on Sunday, she was a huge help so I'm now learning how to juggle the whole dinner/bath/bed thing on my own. It's not actually as bad as I thought it would be. Sebastian is happy as long as he is feeding although Zach seems to find breastfeeding a bit scandalous and likes to shout 'He's eating mummy, Bastian is eating mummy!' If anyone has any tips on how to breastfeed whilst washing older kids hair, please let me know, it would save a lot of screaming.

I feel like I'm recovering really well. For the first time I've taken things really easy after the birth and feel like it's made a huge difference, mentally and physically. It's probably helped that the delivery was such a good experience, in fact, not once during the delivery or recovery have I had any pain. Even the pre-op injections were done after numbing cream was put on so I didn't feel them.

We've managed a few breakfasts/brunches/lunches/dinners out at the weekends which has been good. The weather is getting hot again so we've been enjoying getting out and about as much as possible.
