It was just the three of us yesterday morning, Gabriella and I still getting used to Conrad’s arrival. In the afternoon, my parents brought Conrad’s big sister Jessica back after her overnight stay with them – she’d woken up at 5.30am, so my parents were both feeling tired.<\/p>\n

Following advice on how to try to limit sibling jealousy, we’d made sure not to be holding Conrad when Jessica arrived and had put the carrycot on the floor, so she could see him.

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Jessica seemed quite excited and kept pointing at Conrad saying “There! There!” (but in Swedish). She turned to me to make sure I was looking too, before repeating “There! There!”
\nFirst contact having gone well, Gabriella and I gave Jessica the present from Conrad (a crocodile xylophone). She really seemed to like it and didn’t wait for Gabriella to unbox it properly before she started playing with it!<\/p>\n

By this time my Mum was itching to get her hands on her grandson, so I passed Conrad over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then it was my Dad’s turn.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the evening my sister, Conrad’s faster, popped round to meet him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, as it was lovely, warm, summer’s day we spent some time in the garden. Partly so Conrad could soak some rays which’ll hopefully prevent jaundice, as we noticed today that his skin has turned a shade more yellow. We kept him in the shade under the parasol though, as direct sunlight would be too strong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jessica was happily running round the garden and playing at her sand table, but she did take a break now and then to peer at her brother.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After we came in from the garden, Conrad was content to just lie on my lap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last night, Gabriella was took care of Conrad, whilst I had earplugs so as to have a decent amount of sleep, ahead of getting up to look after Jessica (for any seasoned readers, she still waking up at 6am, sometimes before…) The plan is to do the same tonight.<\/p>\n

Conrad’s feeding pattern is non-existent at the moment, sometimes it’s only 2 hours between feeds, other times the gap is 6 hours.<\/p>\n

Time is getting on now and we’re probably going to have to go to bed soon. Pathetic isn’t it…!<\/p>\n
