Well, it's hard to believe our little man is already 3 weeks old! Time is flying by. However, unfortunately, it seems to go in mega-slow-motion when it's time to wake for those nasty night-time feeds. Thankfully, he's given us a tiny little break the last couple of nights by sleeping a little bit longer between feeds. Please let this be the start of a new routine!!!!!
Last night, I decided to let daddy do one of the night-time feeds (at 1:00 AM) so I could get a bit of sleep! Previously, I figured it was only fair that I do those feeds & nappy changes since he has to work during the week. Well, enough is enough. It's the weekend and he doesn't work weekends. So, he's entitled to baby-duty just like me!!
Well, either daddy is very "smart" or he just really has no clue. Needless to say, he won't be doing another one of those night-time feeds for a while. Poor little Austin was miserable for some reason and Arthur just couldn't settle him. So, while I was SUPPOSED to be sleeping (the whole point behind getting Arthur to do that feed), I couldn't help but hear this poor little guy screaming bloody murder right outside our bedroom door. I finally got out of bed to find Arthur shaking the poor kid to try to settle him while loudly making a SHHHH-SHHHH-SHHHH sound. No wonder the kid was screaming. His dad was scaring the crap out of him. I offered to take over, but Arthur was adamant that he could handle it. So, I returned to bed feeling like my husband was in for a rude awakening. Moments later, Arthur came into the bedroom and jumped into bed...with no baby in sight. I asked him what he did with Austin and why didn't he bring him back into the room to sleep in his bassinet! Arthur just mumbled "your mom has him". I jumped out of bed and found my mom settling the baby by rocking him gently. I ended up taking over because he would have to go back to sleep in our room anyway.
So, needless to say, this episode ended up taking more of my energy and time than if I had just done the feed myself. Arthur will definitely be in for some "lessons" over the next short while until he gets it because damnit he WILL get it!!
Below are some recent shots of our precious little bub.
