thanks - 02:15 PM
(filed under 'baby')
by the way .. thanks for all the emails & the comments. i haven't got to them yet (i've pretty much just been feeding riley (hee hee. he has a name now. *chuckle*) & watching him sleep between feeds) but i can see there are heaps!
i'm home & a name - 02:11 PM
(filed under 'baby')
i write this as a different woman from the one that left the house last thursday. i'm now a mummy! woo hoo! 
in fact, i'm doing mum-duty as food supplier & he's on the boob right now as i type. i'm even able to type with two hands since i have him in the baba sling i bought a few weeks ago. it's excellent. i'm just going to have to make sure i don't try to overadjust my posture while using it & change shoulders regularly. he looks pretty damn comfortable. 
we've also finally chosen a name for him. we did it just before we left the hostpital.
our new baby boy's name is riley. we haven't chosen a middle name yet, but at least we can call him something other than 'scrunchface' & 'sweet baby boy'. we're still getting used to using his name, but i really like it.
i'm about to head out to the shops with him for his first outing (other than taking him home from the hospital). after being cooped up in hospital for five days, i'm keen to go & get out somewhere other than inside a room or a house. it's only a short trip, mainly to get him just a few items of clothing which will fit him. the stuff i bought for him was size 000, but he's going to need at least 0000. the triple zero is far too big!
anyway, i'm going to pack the nappy bag & go. i'll write a diary entry soon to tell you all about my adventures.
