The Week According to Sam- Week Two

Dec 12, 2011 by cafebebemama

It’s hard to believe that ONLY two weeks have gone by. Already I can’t imagine our lives without Sam and my stay prior to his delivery on 24 November seems about 8 billion years ago. But no, in fact, it was only 18 days ago. This is probably why I seem to think I can do everything I used to do and why my body is doing it’s best to tell me otherwise. Poo.

Sam has settled right into our family perfectly. He is a very chilled baby for the most part, unless it’s time for a bottle. Then he shouts for England. Oh, he does do the same when he gets his nappy changed as well. Crikey! Honestly, the boy gets FURIOUS with me! Sam is still doing a LOT of sleeping and mostly on me as I am well and truly spoiling him with loads and loads of Mummy cuddle time. Take that Gina Ford! Of course, as a result, I get very little sleep myself but hey ho, I wasn’t going to win Yummy Mummy of the Year this year anyway. Maybe next year?

We changed Sam’s formula this week as he still wasn’t pooing properly. We had a minor “poonami” on Friday and it appears that we are getting to what normal newborn poo should be like (you wanted to know that right?). I am still waiting for the “up the back and hose ‘em down” sort of poo-splosion so I’ll have to keep you posted on that one. As Daddy went back to work this week, we’ve been forced to stay at home most of the week. I’m going a bit stir-crazy but the holidays are soon here and family are arriving this week which will help. We had a lovely family outing on Sunday to get our Christmas Tree. Even though Sam had no clue whatsoever, it was very special to have the four of us out there picking the perfect tree.

The following are pictures from the week according to Sam from the 2nd week of his life. You’ll notice a similar theme in most of the pictures…eyes closed and blissfully asleep. I can assure you that Sam does indeed open his eyes from time to time and they are, in fact, blue.

Sam’s favourite place to sleep (after Mummy’s chest)…his Xplory pushchair!

Ella’s got a “dummy buddy” now. Green means go, Red means STOP!

Artsy-fartsy photo of Mummy’s hand holding Sam’s. Aw….

Sam is exceptionally good at frowning and has his Mummy’s (and Ella’s) pout. Big time!

I don’t care what anyone says, Sam was well & truly smiling…it was not gas! Mind you, he is sleeping…

It’s been a long, hard week for Daddy and his boy. Time for Daddy cuddles…

There we have the week according to Sam. This week there will be Christmas decorations, outings with our best mates @MummyMatters & Beanie Boy, arrivals from Grandma Kathy and Auntie Julie and loads more fun. And of course, plenty of Mummy cuddles. Happy Holidays everyone…thanks for indulging my adoration for the Cafe Bebe offspring…
