Alfred is five weeks old today. He's sleeping in slightly longer stretches during the night, but wants to be close to me and Mark at all times. Some days he sleeps more than others. I don't get much done!
But I also try not to put too much pressure on myself and just enjoy here and now. It is ok just to have Alfred napping on my chest in front of the TV. They do grow up so quickly. Every moment is precious.
Alfred's focusing his eyes on us more and more and follows us round the room. He's a keen eater and is gaining lots of weight. Last week when we went to the baby clinic to get him weighed, he was 4.22kg, up from his 3.27kg birt weight, which dropped down to closer to 3kg. So he's doing well! (and keeping me very busy!).
Vera had a week off last week, the first half term of the year. We were very lucky to have momma Gunnel coming over from Sweden to meet Alfred and to spend time with Vera.
They and we did lots of fun things - cycling in the park, visiting Whirlow Farm where Vera met lots of animals and creepy cawlies and visiting the museum.
We also spent lots of quality time together at home, made pancakes for pancake day, baked traditional Swedish semlor, tidied up & chucked lots of old toys and a lot of cuddling, reading and relaxing!
Thank you for coming momma and for all your help!
