This last week was difficult. My cousin passed away and I went to his funeral. Strange how life just keeps going on in so many ways, yet it stops completely in others. I can't stop thinking, feeling for my aunty. Perhaps its hearing her voice call out for her baby boy in my mind as I go on in my day to day life with my precious three baby boys. And so I am reminded once again to take each moment and treasure it. Time goes by all too fast!
Week 4 - Letter to Thomas. 16th January
Dearest Thomas,
I took you for your 4 week check up today. All is good. You have put on 1kg already!! 5.3kg. We have had a heat wave this week, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees. I've been trying to keep you nice and cool and we have been staying inside as much as possible. You are focusing much more on faces these days, I've been trying to catch some more smiles but haven't seen many more. Lucas thinks you have smiled at him three times and Lachlan says he has had four smiles!
It was also a week of sadness and celebrations. We attended a family funeral on Monday, my cousin Brett. It was terribly sad. Yesterday we celebrated your poppy's 65th birthday, and Audrey's 6th birthday. Tonight our family had cake at poppy and grans house. You slept for most of it, but then had some lovely cuddles with poppy. He likes to cuddle little babies - before they become too restless as they get older :) All the cousins are growing up and play nicely most of the time. You and Maggie will be up and running around in no time I'm sure.
Sleep wise, you are still going well! Slightly unsettled in this heat but generally you have a good 4-5hour sleep first at night, then wake around every 2 hours after that. I really should go to bed early at night, but still find myself awake until around 11:30. I think its catching up on me.
Speaking of which, the time just went to 12:01 ..... you'll be up soon so I better get to bed.
Love you always,
Mummy
