News from the baby front

Nov 17, 2005 18:17

Well! Baby Eldarion was two weeks old yesterday, and it's been a busy time. As Polly mentioned in her post, she came home from hospital Tuesday last week. Since then we've done very little except look after the baby, but strangely it seems to have added up to rather a lot of work! ( More details - and photos! )

Eee, what lovely photos! Thanks for the report.

As for the exhaustion -- don't worry, it gets better, it really does. Hang on in there! Katy is in about the 2nd percentile, so it's hard for me to imagine such a big lad. Good luck with the zombie-state (I know it well) and love to all.

I reckon that makes Eldarion the anti-Katy! Between them they'd make two perfectly average children - still, who wants to be average? Love to all there from here ;-)

Thanks for the update and lovely photos! So glad everything is going really well. What Kargicq said about the exhaustion. Work and baby is difficult -- when I was at home with Katy and Kargicq was back at work, he did end up sleeping downstairs on the futon for a while, so he could get as intact a night's sleep as possible. Delighted that the breastfeeding is going so well and you have such a good supply. Hey, so maybe he's a touch heavy, but I also have read that overfeeding is much less of an issue with breastfeeding, and for sure it's a lot better to have too much than too little ( ... )

Sounds like he's doing very well, and just now so are you two too. If I can nudge hard enough Na'Lon & I may even send a card! Admittedly the ones locally are probably crap but ... (recently discovered various baby cards within a wodge of stuff mum gave me)

Sorry to be so tardy in passing on my congratulations to you both!!

Sorry to be so tardy in realising you were on LJ! Many thanks. Hope all is well with you.

... that's the reason for my tardiness - not realising you were on LJ. Good name by the way - can't think where that comes from ... I just love that hard "dh" sound! ;-)
