Secondly, a particular thank you to Sherrill, who sent me a beautiful knitted baby cardigan which the bean has already worn. I still haven't got round to photographing it, but I remember Sherrill posting a picture of it a while back... She also included a pack of baby onesies, which are great! Thank you so much Sherrill!!
Thirdly, another particular thank you to Jane, who sent me a really cute baby hat, which even spells 'BEAN'! Thank you Jane, the hat is great and I am sure we will use it a lot this winter!
I am also aware that I still haven't posted a picture of our little bean, so to make up for that, here he is, big bum and all! ;-)
Other than that, there isn't all that much to report. Life with a brand-new bean continues to be both wonderful and rather hard work. I still don't get more than around 5 hours of interrupted sleep each night, but my body seems to adjust to it, so I don't feel quite as sleep-deprived as I did in the first two weeks. I am also more mobile now, so I have been trying to leave the house most days. The bean is doing great too and has already put on quite a bit of weight. We are starting to get the first smiles now!
There has been some knitting, but not much, so I will save it for a later post.
Right, and now I'm off to get the parcel for the One-Yard-Fabric-Swap ready - last minute as ever!
I managed to miss your announcement post, so belated congratulations on the arrival of the Bean. Glad things are going well - 5 hours uninterrupted sleep is pretty good going!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love it when they curl up on you like that!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet lil' Bean. I'm all last minute with the OYFS parcel too. It will be on it's way lickety split. I sure hope my recipient is ok with that. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! He's so very cute. I'm glad that you're adjusting well to mommyhood.
ReplyDeleteThanks for organizing the fabric swap. I had lots of fun shopping for my pal!
Iris - he looks perfectly lovely. Rather than a big bum I am impressed that a little bean is all curled up on his side with his legs all wrapped around him.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sleeping baby! It gets way easier, and is so worth the sleepless nights.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I have just gotten to the point where my 2-year-old is weaned and not waking me up at night much anymore, and I just stay up later in the evening. I don't bother getting "enough" sleep, because I'm so used to it!
I wanted to say another thank-you to you for organizing the fabric swap--I really enjoyed both the sending and the receiving. It was a great experience!
Finally, the slow boat across the pond made it way and the package arrived. Miracles do still happen. LOL What a cute "bean" he is too. Seems that all is well and happy in the family. Tickle the toes for me.
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful Iris!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAh, what a little sweetie!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a cutie !!
ReplyDeleteReally pleased to hear & see that your all doing super well & enjoying yourselves.
What a head of hair the wee man has !
Enjoy all those snuggly snuffly cuddles... soon enough theyre 14 & just dont do mom hugs in case theyre mates see.

That is my favorite sleeping position. My four year old still tries to do it sometimes, but she's a bit heavy now. :) Congratulations and thanks for posting the picture! 5 hours of sleep isn't too bad...
ReplyDeletemy goodness, his bum does look big in that :o)
