Welcome to the world Oliver James!

My little man is finally here! And he was SO worth the wait let me tell you!

I haven't written up my birth story yet but will be doing it over the next couple of days so stay tuned. It will be a short one though! In the end he was in a hurry to enter the world.

So we are home from hospital now. I had the BEST experience at Redland Hospital. Probably even better then the Mater. The only downside was I could only stay 2 days. I would so have stayed longer if I could of but they were tight on rooms.

Oliver is going great. He is a very settled bub and only cries when he wants a cuddle or to be fed. I feel very different this time round. I feel more confident and happy LOL I was a bit overwhelmed by it all with Samuel and never really sat back and enjoyed him in the early days.

My milk came in on day 2 and I think expressing prebirth was a big factor in this. He got lots of colostrum so I have a feeling he wouldn't have lost 10% of his birth weight. I am weighing him tomorrow.

Samuel has taken to him quite well. The few times he saw me and Oliver in hospital he was very observant from afar and didn't seemed too phased by him. But today (day after getting home from hospital) he was very touchy touchy with him. I really will have to keep my eye on him until the novelty wears off as already today he squeezed his legs hard, almost threw a car on him and placed a piece of paper on his head!

I do need to make this short and sweet as I am sure Oliver will be waking soon for a feed and I need to feed myself before then!

I will leave you with a few pics of my lil man. Stayed tuned for the birth story:

Sammy is 2 months!

Well my little man is 2 months old! Although it does feel like he has been in our lives forever! Thought I would do an update on us while Samuel is having a sleep. He is such a good baby, and I noticed this since we made the fulltime switch to formula. I tried with b/f but it just wasnt working for us. S is such a more contented and happy baby. S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

Image
34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a quick blog post for our Christmas Day at the Johnson Household. We spent the day at home just chilling. The boys opened their presents when they woke up. They got a mountain bike each and a few other bits and pieces and Elijah opened his pressie as well. We had mum over for lunch. It was a nice day :)
