Hold the phone

Look who is 2 months old already. By golly that has gone fast.  I mean incredibly fast.  I keep looking at him and willing him to slow down. I never thought I was the biggest fan of new babies, preferring them when they are older and can interact more but Nathan over these last few months has well and truly converted me. He is a dream boat.

To the point that I've made Marcus cancel his "chop chop" appointment for tomorrow. WHAT!!!! I hear you all say and just to calm those fears, I'm not saying I necessarily want a fourth but I'm not ready to make a decision about it final just yet. We are still young (32 & 33) and I just feel a decision like that needs to be made a bit later down the line, not just because we realised our health insurance covers it. (Darling mother in law, you can close that mouth now).

And you know what, life with 3 kids is less stress than it was with 2. I have been pleasantly surprised. There is a bit more work, more washing and one extra person to think about but I'm not nearly the flustered, OTT mum I was 3 months ago. Perhaps it feels easier because I'm not pregnant and am more able to do stuff, or maybe I've got a heap of lovey dovey breast feeding hormones running through me, or maybe it's because it's summer time and the days are longer and more paced out. But so far life as a family of 5 has been great. Think I might have finally worked out how to slow down and smell the flowers.

P.s. Did I mention he was sleeping through the night? That's right, 8 weeks old and managing an 8 hour stretch at night. dream boat I tell ya, dreeeeeeeeeeeam boat.
