This morning he needed cuddles from 1:30am until 3:00am, conveniently right over his little brother's night wake-up and feed. I tried not to freak out about the hungry 11 week old who was probably now awake in my husband's arms in our room down the hall. Instead I sat on the floor of Ashton's room with a snotty oversized toddler buried in my arms. He sobbed and I patted his back, thinking back to when he needed me every night, just like his little brother does now. I sat there sleepless and heartbroken. Where on earth had the time gone? I remember when I thought he'd never be able to sleep through the night. We rocked him, we patted him, we shushed him, we fed him to sleep, we had white noise, we had a routine, we tried EVERYTHING and then I resigned myself to the fact that he wasn't going to be the sleep-through kinda kid that I so desperately wanted him to be. Now if he wakes it's because something is very wrong, not because he needs me in order to sleep. And I kind of hate that, as crazy as it sounds, even though it's what I'd wanted all those months ago. I'm so proud of my boy (even though he's sick) but I'm also heartbroken he's no longer my little baby. I'm heartbroken that I only get cuddles like this when his temp is through the roof! So early this morning, when he finally let me say 'good night' again and I took myself back to my bedroom, I smiled when I saw Jia resting in my husband's arms. "I tried but... He's hungry and he needs you," he said. "Good" I replied and wrapped him up in my arms, holding on tightly. The nights are long, but my gosh the years are short. 💙💙💙
I 💛 his patchy little head and can't believe we've had 11 weeks together!
He's using his cute face to distract from the large vomit patch his mum just wiped up from his dad's shoulder...
When you go to the beach in the middle of winter and it STILL looks nice enough for a dip... ❄❄❄
Pre-haircut, self-proclaimed raisin enthusiast. Happy weekend everyone!
This cheeky chicken had an awful night of sleep last night so surprise, surprise, so did mum and dad! But I wake up this morning dreary eyed and look at those cheeks and that cheerful grin.... I can't be frustrated for long. Afterall, the kid's almost 10 weeks, that means there's roughly only about 1.5 years left to go until he's almost sleeping through 🙊🙊 #ihope
The baking obsession continues... 🍪
