Mummy's View
Well this is the first chance I've had of even getting near a computer since young Master Harrison has arrived...
All I can say is thank god for Phil. He has been an absolute godsend, right from the start of my apparently painless pre labour (don't you love the way the Dr's tell you it's painless when your the one doubled over in agony!) to being a fantastic hands on Daddy. He is such a proud Daddy, and so wonderful with Harrison, I don't think I could possibly be any luckier to have such a wonderful husband and baby. And well I think Harrison is definately blessed to have such an amazing Daddy (specially since his mum is an absolute nut bag).
As to my little Angel, I keep saying it's amazes me how much you can love this new little creature that you've only just met, but he has managed to capture my heart in his long little fingers. Every time I look at him I think of the lyrics from the song Heaven by Live - "I don't need no one to tell me about heaven I look at my daughter, and I believe." I can certainly see where they were coming from. I have trouble putting him down at all (even when asleep), which is probably a good thing as the little tyke has a problem with being put down. And well he is the most adorable thing on the planet (I'm not biased at all). And I'm absolutely fascinated by his every facial expression and move. I'm already trying to think how I can put off going back to work etc until he's passed all his milestones (so about 18 - 25) as I don't want to miss a single thing...
Anyway as per Phil's other entries we have discovered that I can get him to sleep well at night (with only 2 or so feeds) if he is in bed with me, so I have taken to sleeping on a mattress in the lounge room with him, meaning my house looks like my bedroom threw up, but I figure anything to get some sleep. And well it works for me too as I like having him close to me... Our next move is convincing Daddy that we can all sleep safely in our bed.
Well that is about all I have to say, except that I have a new found respect for all parents. I mean I didn't expect this to be easy, but you just have no idea, until you are up at 3am, trying to work out if he's hungry, needing a change, in pain or just tired and cranky. And hearing him cry just rips your heart out...
I'm afraid my usual eloquence has left me along with my need for 8 hours sleep a night so until next time....
