In another world, I would have hit today and been thinking ‘well, any time in the next fortnight’. Instead we have a three week old. Today we’ve had slightly better feeding, immediately after mummy had a total meltdown about all sorts of things which now seem entirely remote, and more awake time. He even fixated on Godzilla for a while tonight. He feels a bit like a newborn and a bit less like a prem baby who isn’t ready to be out yet. That is, he has since about 5pm. He wakes up about then. Fran says its because he was born at 4.20pm and his day starts then.
What I really wanted to put here was a clip of film of him awake, my sanity clip for when I convince myself something is wrong. But YouTube doesn’t know it is there yet, so you’ll have to make do with a photo for now. Happy due date Ben. Glad you could make it.
Ha! Found it!
Such a sweet baby! Amazing that he is three weeks old already! {{hugs}}
Beautiful. x
Merry he looks really alert and well. I love that wide eyed inquisitive look that babies give. Three weeks already, time has flown.
Bless him, sooooooo broody!
Lovely boy – those newborn squeaky noises take me back, I am very broody too!
Oh Merry. He is just so, so lovely. Did I ever tell you how much I adore his name? Well I’m telling you again. And like Karen, I am now sooooooooo broody because I’ve heard this lovely little newborn voice.
He. Is. ADORABLE. *cluck* please refrain from posting any more videos. The rush of hormones flooding my head doesnt help anyone…
Adorable: just want to pick him up 🙂
Aww – he is lovely 🙂 I want now
I do just want to cuddle the screen 😉 He is gorgeous, and his ‘talking’ is so cute!
Thank you for commenting again 🙂 the stupid wp people upgraded the app and moved delete to where approve used to be!
He is gorgeous!
And I adore Fran’s theory as to why he is awake at 5pm!
Have just watched the video. My ‘gut feeling’ is that there isn’t much wrong with him! Oh, and he’s lovely. But then, you knew that…
Hi Merry!..beautiful boy you have there!..just letting you know that the two of you have been in my prayers lately..i continue to pray for Ben’s health and I pray that your heart and mind would know some rest from the worry and grief that you’ve been feeling….xx
my WORD he is alert and awake and active in that video clip! He’s even a rooting a bit near the end, awwwww!
