Be a post whore!

I thought I'd post an update on what's been happening at my house lately since at least one poster has noticed my lack of attention to the cellar. lol

Obviously, it's all because of Max! Newborns do tend to be pretty demanding that's for sure. He's a pretty good natured baby though. Isn't very fractious at all and generally settles pretty well. We're into a four hourly feeding routine now which is great, although there are some variations due to the minor reflux and subsequent hurls we have every now and then. On that note, I get great amusement from the fact that he seems to like spewing on his father. I think his father might need to spend a bit more time burping him. lol He'll learn...or forever smell like sour milk.

With regard to the feeding, Max is now on formula. My milk never came in despite doing everything possible to encourage it. He did breast feed for the first week, so he got all that lovely colostrum which is so important.

Aden and Mav are totally enamoured of him and cuddle him at every opportunity. They're really doing such a brilliant job of being big brothers and have injected themselves into his routine and care with great gusto. They make me so proud. I find myself misting up several times daily when I watch them together caring for their little baby brother.

So all in all, things are going well. I don't know what I've done to deserve such joy.
