1st week at home


The 1st week at home from the hospital has passed by with warp speed. Everything is in a bit of a haze and I just try to keep the kids happy (and alive) and try to eat and rest myself whenever I can.

Chloe is sleeping ok at night. She's up about twice to feed every night and it could have been so much worse. The only problem is that Fred and I haven't had any interupted sleep since Heidi was about 6 months so we're not used to getting up in the middle of the night. Talk about going back to square 1.

The swedes arrived on Monday and will stay with us for 3 weeks. It's great for me to get some help, specially with Heidi so she still gets attention and I can focus on sorting out Chloe with feeds and other newbie stuff.
I haven't noticed much jelousy from Heidi and so far she has been very nice and loving to her baby sister. She even shares her toys! Can you believe it! You who know Heidi well knows that sharing is not her strongest suit....


Now we're off to Cottesloe beach to have lunch and the rest of the weekend - just chilling out.
Love from Perth
