The days just fly by now. Mia will be seven weeks old in a couple of days. We had a belated Full Moon celebration for her on 4 Jan with some family and close friends. This day was all the more special as we had both sets of grandparents with us.
Our little Miss Chubby now weighs 3.5kg. Yay!!! Quite an achievement given how small she was at birth, a mere 2.39kg. She's growing so quickly that she's truly lost that new born look.
My days are now taken up with feeding, changing nappies, as well as trying to keep the same routine for Ryan as before. I now can appreciate what other mothers mean when they say that with the second child, there's really no such thing as a fixed routine. Unlike Ryan who had a very fixed schedule for nap times, poor Mia just gets dragged along in the pram regardless of whether she's awake or in the middle of a nap, when I have to go pick Ryan up from school or take him to his taekwondo lessons etc. But I have to say, she's handling it like a champ. She seems to sleep through just about anything, waking up only when she's hungry or uncomfortable.
