Reminiscing

Since Cadell's first birthday last weekend I have as most people do, been reminiscing back to Cadell's birth.

It is hard not to think about what I was doing this time last year, how small he was, how far we've come since then, the sleepless nights and worrying about how he wasn't gaining weight.

Now he is a great big heavy lump at 11kgs!

First trip to the doctors - 7 days old

Its so easy to forget those early days as they were so hazy, with sleep deprivation and the newness of the situation.

It is amazing for me to look back at his early photos and realise the similarities, how much he still looks like he did then.

I guess before I had my own baby I kind of thought all babies looked the same, but their little personalities and own features are there right from the beginning.

He is so precious to us! Its hard to know just how much they will change your life when you are pregnant, or even when they are first born. 

He is so much fun, and always a joy to be with. I am sure when he gets into his toddlerdom we will have challenges, but I will always enjoy being with him.

Bethan at 3 weeks old

She did a 7 hr stretch last night! She has been going to bed around 8-9pm and doing 6 hrs until 2 am and then going back down from 3 - 6 am but last night she slept from 8-3am then back down from 4-7am. It was lovely to have that much sleep. She's doing so well, she was 4.3kg at 2 weeks 2 days which is about 700grams up from her birth weight. She's in a bit of a routine during the day too, ive been trying to get her to have a little sleep in the morning, but the a bigger 2 +hr sleep at lunchtime, and then she will just do a few little naps before bedtime.  In the next few weeks I will work on getting her bed time down to 7pm and then 6pm. She also started cooing properly at 3 weeks 2 days and has been smiling since day 4.
