Already! Half way to that 6 weeks point where - what? I don't know, but that seems to be the turning point - more sleeping at night (supposedly, not for Luka though), less feedings? Also, that is the time the mother is (again supposedly) all recovered and can go back to work (I so do not support that - I am from Europe and maternity leave is much longer in most countries, but that's a whole new post)... I do feel tired, and some nights are easier than others, but I still enjoy this time. I mentioned before, I don't remember this time with Luka. I remember being tired, but I don't remember time with Luka, and I don't remember him. I read that every mother of a newborn should remember that "everything comes to an end". Even though I do think that is a good thing to remember, not only if you are a mother of a newborn, but when you have a screaming toddler, when you have a toothache, or in any situation you want to end... (when I (Luka) had a bad night or day, that's what I would think of) what can happen is that that's the only think you think of, and you forget to enjoy the current time (with your newborn, not your aching tooth). Maybe that's what happened to me and I forgot so much...So this time, I will enjoy the time with Sven, and I will sleep some other time...
It seems that Sven likes baths too, like his big brother. He likes to sit in water, likes to be showered, likes water on his face or his head... anything goes. Water babies...
