Vega – One Week Update!

vega 1 week

Um…. 1 week old already! Can we please slow down time so this little squish doesn’t grow too fast?! We’ve had a great first week… even after an almost 6 year gap since having a newborn around, we’ve slotted straight back into it. His big sisters are totally smitten, and have been great little helpers this past week. Kiki especially is fantastic with him, she can pick him up and he’ll snuggle in and snooze on her.

He’s been feeding like a pro all week…. though he is of the belief that if he is awake then he should have a nipple in his mouth at all times ;) I’ve been feeding him on demand, and it’s paying off – not only did he put on 10g in his first four days, I get to eat lots of cake! We’ve been managing to snatch enough sleep too… I have him sleeping with me, so I only have to roll over to feed him, and doze back off. So far I’m not feeling too tired, and physically I’m feeling amazing considering I had a baby a week ago.

I’m enjoying these early days when he just wants to sleep on me all day long, trying to just be in the moment and not feel the need to run around and do the zillion and one jobs I ‘should’ be doing. Papa has another week of paternity leave, he’s been chief chef this past week and boy is it good to have someone else to cook all of the lunches and dinners for me!

This first week as a Mama of four has been perfect, our {not-so} little family has been soaking up every second of this precious time – I know with the girls just how quickly it goes, I’m determined to enjoy every moment of Vega being such a teeny baby.
