Sleep

Sleep. Xavier is getting plenty of it! I'm getting some, but Kos is getting a lot less.

The life of a baby! All this bloke does is sleep, suck on boobies and capture the attention of women...if only men could have it so easy later in life!

Despite this easy start to life, Xavier is going well. He came home last Friday, but it wasn't for long as we are getting a new kitchen put in (I'll be starting a new blog soon called 'House Dilemmas') so we have stayed at my parent's place and are now staying at Kos' parent's place. What little sleep you do get is not that great when it is in new bed, but we appreciate being able to fall back on the families as we have. The kitchen is being delivered on Tuesday and installed on Wednesday. Hurray.!But I'll breathe a sigh of relief on Wednesday evening once it is all complete. Fingers crossed until then!

It is interesting, before Xavier came along, I hesitated when family or friends asked if I would like to hold their baby. I would run a hundred miles if anyone asked me to mind their kids or babysit, but with Xavier, I want to pick him up and hold him all the time. There is no baby aversion with your own I guess. He is starting to open his eyes a lot more and is making alot more noise. He is an abosolute time waster as you can spend hours simply looking at him and waiting for a change in expression or an unexpected curling smile.

It is amazing to thing that next Wednesday he will be three weeks old....time flies when you are having fun. The day before his third week birthday, his cousin will join him, ensuring fun times at Kos' parents place from then...all the more reason to make sure that the Kitchen gets put in on Wednesday!
