He is so handsome!! So happy for you that everything is going well. One piece of advice that I received and took to heart was “sleep when the baby sleeps”! You’ll definitely need the daytime sleep to compensate for the lack of nighttime sleep. Congratulations again!

Happy 1 week birthday, Noah! Glad things are coming along smoothly for you – am sure it will be great to have your mum here too.

Wow, it sounds like he has a lot of awake time! Annika was a very sleepy baby for the first few weeks, although she’s enjoying more and more awake time every day.

Glad you’re enjoying motherhood so far! The first few weeks I think are very sweet and with both of mine, the first week home from the hospital was a really special time. Annika is already starting to seem less like a newborn and more like a baby!

Thank you for the update. Glad to hear things are going so well. Noah is an adorable baby and the Paddington Bear picture is just so cute. The visit from your friends looked like a fun time and they also seem so proud. Maybe you have a future babysitter or two in the group . I hope you have a wonderful visit with your mum.

So glad things seem to be going well right from the start. I’ve heard that babies patterns don’t change much from when they are first born, and in my very limited experience, I can say that is true. Sara didn’t cry much at all in the hospital, and still doesn’t. I don’t think she has ever cried longer than 10 minutes, ever. Very easy to calm, and she very rarely wakes up crying. I definitely miss having a newborn around! I think you are onto something with the napping during the day though. I LOOOOVE my sleep (kind of scary without it) and napping helped me a lot (still does).

Glad to hear everything is going well! Your visit with your friends from uni sounds lovely and the photos are very cute.

How exciting that your mum is there! It will be great having her around to help with Noah and to get advice if necessary.

Hope all continues to go smoothly and make sure you nap whenever you can. My hub sleeps through everything so I can relate to your nights. Noah seems like he is sleeping quite well so far though so I hope he keeps it up.

He looks so much more grown up than a one week old. Love the paddington bear and yawn pics. Have a great time with your mum.

Pleased to hear that everything is going well! You are so lucky that Noah doesn’t cry much! His night-time sleeps don’t sound too bad either for a newborn! Baby boys squirt wee like a whale squirts water from it’s spout! I’ve found keeping a small towel like a washer handy on the change mat to cover their “spout” helps keep you dry while you are trying to get the nappy on!
