Five Things 46/52

Happy Monday everyone!! We had a bad night with our little man last night so my eyes are hanging out of my head! It's all worth it to look at my little boy's sleepy face now! This weekend was a lovely one, we went shopping, had visitors and went to my parents for dinner. Here are Five Things:

Oisín meeting his Auntie Michelle and cousins

Mammy and Son...I felt so good on Saturday morning after a lie on, coffee and a bath, wish I felt like that today!

Went shopping and bought myself some treats in the sales!

Cuddles with Granny how this little man loves them!

This little guy kept Mammy and Daddy up all night, but how can you be mad at this little face!

So that's five things for this week whats yours?

Bump To Baby - He's Here - 2 Weeks Old!

Oisín at two weeks old

Mammy & Son

- Oisín had his two week check up this week all went well

- Doctor was very happy with his process

- He has put on another 2ozs since last week and his now 7lbs and 8ozs

- He opens his eyes alot more since last week!

How Many Weeks Old?: 2 Weeks 1 days old

Weight & Height?: He is 7lbs 8ozs

How Is Baby Eating?: He loves his feeds and its a struggle to get him not to drink his bottles too quick, cause he then gets full of wind! He is still getting fed during the day every three hours and is taking three ozs in his bottle. During the night we are trying to stretch out his feeds to twice a night but we will see how we get on with that!

How Is Baby Sleeping?: He is a great little sleeper! He sleeps alot of the time as newborns do! He still likes to stay awake after the early morning feed of 3/4 in the morning!

Is Baby Crawling or Walking Yet?: No too early yet!

Is Baby Talking Yet?: To himself lots of grunts and noises out of him!

How is Baby's Routine?: We are still trying to get into a little routine it's still early days, but we have noticed he likes a bath and feed in the evening time, that normally makes him sleep for a few hours after.

How is Mammy & Daddy this week?: We had a hard week this week. I think we where both tired and had something on almost everyday this week. We registered Oisin's birth, had doctor and hospital appts, had visitors, went to see the Grandparents, so maybe we done too much but by this weekend we both got some sleep and felt much better. We are slowly getting the hang of late feeds and changes, our lives have totally changed but for the better!

Worst Moment Of the Week?: When after one feed at 4am I couldn't get his wind up, almost an hour later it still wouldn't come up. I felt terrible but we got there in the end, the health nurse said to try some warm water in between feeds as she thinks its too early to try infacol. If he is still windy in at a month old she recommend to change bottle formula.

Best Moment Of the Week?: Every morning waking up to see our beautiful son's face. To see how much he has grown in the past week already. He met his Aunt and cousins for the first time this week which was also a lovely moment.

Five Things 45/52

Hi everyone hope your weekend was good! Christmas was wrapped up and put away this weekend! We had a nice weekend still adjusting to having a newborn in the house and getting used to this lack of sleep! Here is our Five Things from the weekend:

Getting lots of visitors to see our little man he is so loved and we are so grateful to have wonderful, neighbours, friends and family.

Giving our little boy his first bath, it was a little nerve racking for Mammy and Daddy, but he loved it!

Our first trip to Starbucks as a threesome!

My first bit of chocolate in over four months and I really, really, enjoyed it!

We think it was wind but we got this little smile off Oisín over the weekend, wind or not its very cute!!
***The last picture was took on New Years Eve lack of sleep made me mistake it for this weekend!

Sunday Picture 1/52

Saw a few people doing this so thought I would join in!
Oisin's first bath tonight he was so good and never cried. He looked like he quite enjoyed it!

Bump To Baby - He's Here - 1 Week Old!

Oisín at 20 minutes old!

Oisín one week old

- Oisín Patrick Furey was born on the 27th December 2013 at 1.42pm he weighted 7lbs 3ozs
- He has blue eyes (which could change) and lots of dark hair
- His eye sight will be still fuzzy for the next couple of weeks but he loves to look at you when he is feeding
- So far he doesn't really cry he makes little noises and grunts to let you know he is not happy!
- He has put on 3ozs since birth so he is now 7lbs 6ozs

How Many Weeks Old?: 1 Week 2 days old

Weight & Height?: He is 7lbs 6ozs not sure of his height will ask nurse when out on Tuesday

How Is Baby Eating?: He is eating really well and really loves his food! Breast feeding wasn't for me so Oisín is being bottle fed every 3/4 hours and is taking 3/4 ozs of milk each feed. We had a tricking day yesterday when he had bad wind but we got through it and he is great today.

How Is Baby Sleeping?: He is sleeping great during the day and mostly good during the night, but there is one feed at 3am that he likes to stay awake for hours after! He was a night owl in the womb think he might be like that on the outside too!

Is Baby Crawling or Walking Yet?: No too early yet!

Is Baby Talking Yet?: To himself maybe he loves to make little noises, gurgling and grunts!

How is Baby's Routine?: We are still getting into a routine with him, he is still so new and everything is trial and error

How is Mammy & Daddy this week?: It has been a whirlwind week a total roller coaster! We went through the first couple of days on cloud nine, then we got lots of visitors and that drained me! We went on our first day out with Oisín which I took on too much and my ankles swelled up to balloons and the nurse had to be called out! Now we are slowly getting into a routine and taking it a little bit easier. Paul has another week off from work which I am really grateful for so we have some more time to get our routine a little smoother before he goes back to work. We are both a little shattered but we are still floating on air at the moment!

Worst Moment Of the Week?: Yesterday when I got a touch of the baby blues and Oisín had trapped wind which no matter what we done didn't get better.

Best Moment Of the Week?: Bringing this little man into the world. The labour was fast and sore my pain relief only kicked in after he was born as the actually labour went so fast but I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Our world has changed so much in 7 days I can't imagine our life with out him.
