So it's been 1 month with my beautiful boy, and what a blessing he is.
Hubby said to me yesterday "I never thought I would love him as much as I do. I would sell everything I owned for him, nothing matters but him anymore"... Pretty much sums up the love you have when you become a parent.
He is constantly doted on by family, friends and strangers. He is one of the cutest babies I've seen and many people seem to agree!
He is very content and loves to eat. Always with the eating! He weighed 2860 grams at birth and now weighs 3790grams, that is a 930gram weight gain! What a champ! He is still a shorty only growing 2.5cm in the last 4 weeks, but he doesn't have very tall parents.
He usually has 2 x 5hr sleeps, one during the day and one at night. The rest of the time it's three hourly feeds.
I'm tired, but not exhausted. And to be honest I think the renos at my house are what is making me tired, not Roman.
It's funny, after my hellish pregnancy and labour I swore black and blue that it would be years until I considered going back for a second. But I keep thinking about those two frozen embryos waiting for me in the lab. I wonder if they will work, if they are girls or boys, or if I'll have to undergo the egg collection process all over again? Who knows! Right now I'm enjoying this precious guy, and shedding tears as I watch him grow so quickly!
Oh I love this idea!
