1 Month 4 Weeks

I had my 8 week immune shots today.

Mummy and Daddy were with me and they let the mean old man stick two needles into my legs and it hurt. I know that it is for my health, but I cried and cried....

1 Month 1 Week

I went to my 6 weekly check up today. I like to announce that I am a fit healthy baby:

Weight is 10lbs 3 (4.65 kg)

Length is 22.8 inches (58cm)

Head Circumference is 15.4 inches (39cm)

The Mid Wife said that I am long and slender.

Does that mean I will be an opening bowler for the Australian Cricket Team and not a batsman?

Decisions, Decisions, Decision!!!!!!

1 Month 1 Week

I was been waking early for a few days now, every 3 to 3 half hours. I have been trying to tell my parents that I'm hungry and want more milk. Presently I am only getting 120ml's per feed (6 -7 feeds a day). This is a little unusual as I am suppose to be on 120ml per day 6 times a day until I am 2 months old which is another 3 weeks away.

Daddy worked it out and he decided to increase my feed even though it is earlier then expected. So I am now on 180mls per feed. I feel so much happier, by the end of my feed I am in the clouds, I feel as if I am floating through the air, I'm in a daze.

I know that I will sleep longer during the night as I have a full belly.

Today was the first day I smiled. You should have seen the reaction of my Mummy and Daddy. They were so proud of me. They stared at me and wanted more, so I gave them more.

1 Month

Mummy went out with her girlfriend, so it was Daddy and I, alone. It was not bad at all as we had a guys night in. I drank some milk and we watched the football, my beloved Parramatta Eels lost the match.

Here is to more nights with Daddy watching Parramatta win some matches.

1 Month

There were a number of celebrations today in my honor.

1. My Baby Shower

2. Wetting of the Babies Head

The members at Mummies work arranged a Baby Shower, generally, these are held prior to my birth. But the members decided to arrange this after I was born so they could see me. It was a fun afternoon and I received heaps of nice presents.

Daddy and his friends went to the local pub to "wet the babies head". For those who do not know the meaning of this, it basically means that the guys got out and get the new father very drunk. In most circumstance, the mother is usually in hospital during this time so the guys can go out and not be harassed for spending the whole night out.

Daddy got home a little drunk, he walked in the door, stripped down to his underpants, ate some leftover lasagna and went to bed. All the time telling Mummy how pissed his mates got him and he had to get up early for work. Luckily, he was in bed by 8.00pm and had time to sleep off the festivities.

Mummy was very understanding and was laughing at Daddy in his underwear.

1 Month

I am one month old today.

Mummy and Daddy were a little concerned as I was crying a little more then usual today. They soon worked out that I was wanting a feed in between my four hourly feed.

I am a growing little boy.

Week 4

Mummy and I went to our first Mothers Group today. We went with my new friend, Adam and his Mummy. All the Mummy's talked for hours and discussed all matters about their babies. My Mummy spoke about my sleeping patterns and that I do not sleep much in the afternoon. Other Mummy's spoke about the behaviours of their children and Mummy learnt a number of points.

Overall it was very informative we will go back again next week.

The Mid wife weighted me and I am 4.13 kilograms.
