Family Stuff
I’ve strived to keep family stuff off my blog for the most part, well it kind of evolved and I shifted it all away to its own blog, but as the third year anniversary approaches on development of Fishguts, future time is going to disappear as well.
This is Sebastian, and he’s gonna be here around mid November. I expect adding boy#2 to the family will decrease ‘me’ time significantly at first (those constant 3 hour feedings etc)

Alexander vs FOOD
We’ve started Alexander on a food regime. We bought a huge butternut squash which I baked and pureed up and froze in icecube trays, we also pureed and froze peas. He seems to like eating the squash more than the peas but he likes to try and wear as much of it as we can get into him. The increase in food and going to real food (he still gets all his formula) has seen an increase in dirty diapers and the smell has gone up a notch :(
We’ve also instituted a sleeping through the night routine, aka we ignore his cries and he eventually goes back to sleep and sleeps through the night. We’ve had some good nights and some bad nights but it seems to be working well, and we think we are over the hump of his 3am feedings. He just manages to pee out his diaper now because he goes for 9 or so hours sleep without a change.
He is also very very close to becoming mobile, I predict we’ll be crawling in under two weeks. That means we need to be more vigilant in vacuuming the house and watching gwyn more closely when he starts to make a beeline to his 100lb puppy dog.

Colic
So we went to the doctors yesterday and he pronounced Alexander as having colic! AAAAARrgh. That means he cries a lot for no reason, he isnt sick or anything he just.. cries…
sleeping is unbearable. feeding is unbearable.
hopefully he will grow out of it very quickly, its quite upsetting to see his frowny face and little tears and his little ‘dad-make-it-all-better’ cry.
The bets are coming in that he will have red hair, tho I am very for blonde and against ginger but we will see…

Alexander Kai George
Alexander Kai George, 8lbs 3oz and 22 inches long! Mum and Son both doing just fine. She popped him out naturally with no tearing or stitches like a real trooper (well a trooper who has a epidural!), she did great.
The elderly ladies of the county knit little caps for all the babies that come into the hospital
Thats all of us!
Joy wanted to show off her toenails, they are hand painted not a sticker…

Baby is kicking
Ist been funny to see how much the baby is kicking, turning over etc. This big mysterious lump will just bulge out of Joys stomach like an alien and go from one side to the other.
Joy things she has dropped some and I suppose she has, but I cant really tell since Alexander is just getting bigger and bigger. Next week is the final ultrasound which may determine if its going to be a C-section or not, depending if he has dropped and is facing the wrong way or not.
His room is all ready to be moved in and looks awesome. All his little clothes have been washed in dreft or something. Massive piles of teeny tiny wee socks and onesies. We picked out the simple onesy outfit to bring him home in, washed up the blanket my mum brought me home in, which was used to bring my mum home in, etc, so its quite old we didnt want to be rough with it so we hand washed it instead of machined it (our washer is an agitator drum, which can be quite rough on fragile things).
Called the police who came out last night and fitted the baby seat base, they have a service they do where someone comes out, checks through the list of recalled products, installs it for you, shakes the heck out of the carseat to see how much it moves, says looks good, fills out a safety form for us and is done. Apparently a lot of people dont install it correctly. Insurance Companies like this kind of thing too so.

Its a NearlyBoy
Its nearly a boy. Yes we caved and found out we are having a boy, we are expecting Alexander Kai George to be born on June 22nd 2007.
It was kinda not hard to tell it was a boy, since he was not very shy, and just spread eagled on the ultrasound.. Mum was thrilled, so now she can buy boys things instead of unisex things.
His room is ready to move into more or less, all we need to do is repaint the trim/skirting boards and we are done and he can move in.
We are still not quite sure how Gwyn is going to handle a baby in the house, and it would break joys heart if she had to send her up to her parents house to live, but once the baby arrives, the dog, as much as she is family, gets the second tier.
We have a CD somewhere about getting your dog ready for a baby, all it does is play baby sounds so the dog doesnt go mental when the baby cries.
