Jake is now seven weeks old. I have to say that the last couple of days have been very difficult. Jake has been uncomfortable and crying inconsolably a lot of the time. In addition he has been feeding twice as much as previously. This has led us to believe that the little mite is going through a growth spurt.
I have been helping out with at least one nappy change during the night to lessen the burden on Ames. She been been particularly exhausted, emotionally and physically. It is upsetting to see your baby crying and then exhausting to try and settle him and make him comfortable.
This morning he woke at 5.30am and was grizzling. I decided to get up, change his nap-nap and take him to his chair. He was wide awake and I think just wanted a play. So I complied (of course) and he cheered up :-). Even at three in the morning when I am feeling shattered, his little face beaming up at me never fails to lift my spirits.
I am now at work having just arrived at the office. Ames has just phoned and tells me Jake has only just woken and is in a good mood. He has been asleep for 5 hours and 10 mins. My gosh he must have needed that!
Yesterday we took Jake’s passport photos which were hilarious!! Actually he was very good and lay there very still while I took them. Maybe we won’t use the last one 🙂
The sun is out today and is looks like it will be a cracker. Is this the start of the ‘real’ spring weather I ask myself?
