Vega – 4 week update
Vega was four weeks old yesterday…. I’m sat here nursing him this morning, and I can’t imagine he’s been here four weeks already, but equally it feels like he’s always been here.
We’ve settled into our new normal now, routines are getting back on track, we’ve figuring our way around this whole newborn thing again quite well. He still likes to nurse most of the day {especially the moment before I have to leave the house to get anywhere on time!}, he’s a pretty good sleeper, most nights he’ll feed around midnight, then 2 and 4, though sometimes we manage to skip the 2am feed! He’s usually only up for ten/fifteen minutes at those feeds before he’s snoring again and we’re usually up for the day around seven/half past seven. This time around, I’m enjoying the peace of those night-time feeds. There’s no distractions, no one else who needs me, no where I should be, just the two of us. I know it won’t last forever, so I’m savouring every single second. While I’m tired, I’m getting six or seven hours {broken up} every night, I’m coping pretty well this time around – it was one thing I was worried about, lack of sleep and I don’t go well together!
I’m loving having a newborn around again, having a little squidge who wants to snuggle and sleep on me. His big sisters are still besotted with him and he gets so many cuddles and kisses. He’s a happy little fella and it’s amazing to see him get a little more alert and interested every day.
I’m going to start posting these updates monthly from now on, these weekly updates are making time pass far too quickly!!

January 26, 2015 at 08:39I’m actually doing ok! I was really worried how I’d cope, as with the three girls there is no chance of a nap! But he’s only up 2/3 times for ten mins, so I’m getting lots of sleep albeit broken up. I’m way more chilled out this time which is prob helping!

January 26, 2015 at 14:42He is gorgeous. I am pleased to hear that you are getting into a routine and that you are getting some sleep, even though it is broken sleep. I don’t do very well on little sleep either-it’s one thing I can’t handle. Looking forward to the next update x
