Bump To Baby - He's Here - 5 Weeks Old

I'm Five Weeks Old Today!

- Oisín is losing his newborn hair, and going a fair/reddish colour!

- He has started to sleep six hours a night

- Is more alert and likes to sit and look at the world around him!

How Many Weeks Old?: 5 Weeks

Weight & Height?: Not sure but we have a six week check up next week so will get him weighted and measured then

How Is Baby Eating?: One thing about our little man he loves his food! He is a little milk monster and has a bottle every 3/4 hours during the day

How Is Baby Sleeping?: He sleeps between most feds during the day and is now going 6 hours before waking at night which is great! He does sometimes fight sleep which I think is crazy I have never seen a five week old fight sleep before but he does! His little eyes go all red when he fights sleep!!

Is Baby Crawling or Walking Yet?: Nope too early yet!

Is Baby Talking Yet?: To himself he loves to make little noises when he is awake! 

How is Baby's Routine?: His routine is going well, during the day when hubby is in work myself and Oisín are getting into a little routine after the morning bottle Oisín tends to go straight back asleep this is when I get my housework done, next bottle he like to play for a bit then back to sleep. Every second or third night we give Oisín a bath which helps him relax and go to sleep for the night.

How is Mammy & Daddy this week?: We are getting there and learning about our little man every day. I am feeling good and am getting into a daily routine with Oisín which is good. I am slightly tired and cranky at night but I am getting there. We are both looking forward to Oisín getting his vaccinations when we can then bring him outside a little more.

Worst Moment Of the Week?: On Thursday night when Oisín was badly constipated and he was crying his little eyes out because of it. I felt so helpless to do anything I spent hours trying to get him to drink water, massaging his little belly and doing the bicycle with his legs he finally had a little poo, but it broke my heart seeing him in so much pain.

Best Moment Of the Week?: Just waking up this his beautiful like face every morning and watching him get more and more alert.

Me, Laura May and Oisín

Bump To Baby - He's Here - 3 Weeks Old

Oisín at 3 weeks old!

His Newborn hair is starting to fall out & change colour!

- Oisín is out grown his newborn clothes!! He is now in 0-3 clothes, some of them are still a little too big!

- He found his crying voice this week!

- He is starting to sleep up to 5/6 hours a night!

- He is losing his new born baby hair :(

How Many Weeks Old?: 3 Weeks

Weight & Height?: Not sure as he wasn't weighted this week, but he is out growing his newborn sleepsuits and babygrows already! 

How Is Baby Eating?: He is eating great, he is down to a bottle every 3 & half to 4 hours during the day and two feeds during the night, one at around 12/1am and one at 5/6am which is alot better than what it was!

How Is Baby Sleeping?: He is sleeping great, but still wants to stay awake at that 5am feed when Mammy and Daddy's eyes are hanging out of there head!

Is Baby Crawling or Walking Yet?: Nope too early yet!

Is Baby Talking Yet?: Still to himself, he is not much of a crier, so he makes grunts, gurgles and noises to let you know if he is not happy! He did find his crying voice this week when he want a feed a hour to early and screamed the place down until I gave it to him!

How is Baby's Routine?: His routine at the moment is basically feed, sleep, change nappy, wake, feed, sleep, change nappy!!

How is Mammy & Daddy this week?: Paul went back to work this week, so it was back to normal for Paul and all change for me! The first two days where a bit of a nightmare for me I felt shattered and it was these days that Oisín found his crying voice and I felt like I was doing everything wrong! Paul works shifts so I found the 2pm/10pm shifts hard it felt like Paul was gone forever and I really missed that shoulder to cry on!! But by Thursday I was feeling so much better (maybe it was because I am finally fitting back into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes!) and Oisín and I had got into a good routine. So bring on next week...onwards and upwards!

Worst Moment Of the Week?: Wednesday when Paul was on a late shift in work, Oisín wouldn't settle all day and then decided to throw up all over me! I felt terrible like I was doing something wrong but the next day was so much better so I guess it's all trial and error and learning every day.

Best Moment Of the Week?: It might be a bad habit but Oisín has took to fall asleep on my chest after a feed. It's great bonding time for us and I just sit there and look at him for hours! 

What I Ate Wednesday

So this is my first What I Ate Wednesday, also because my gestational diabetes is gone for now (have a test in 4 weeks to make sure) I am back to my normal diet! So here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:

Hubby let me lie on (as he is was on the late shift tonight) and I had breakfast in bed it was pancakes and tea!

Lunch:

Today lunch was a ham, cheese and coleslaw sandwich with some crisps, a chocolate and a cup of tea!  

Dinner:

Hubby was working late today so dinner for me was a ham, cheese, tomato salad and a bottle of water

Dessert/Treats:

I had some lovely chocolate this evening with a small glass of red wine!
