Felix is 9 and a half months!

 

It has been a while and I won't go too much into why that is; some of you know and some of you won't (that is if anyone is reading).

I clearly had been burning the candle at both ends and ended up in hospital and the last 3 months have been very very tough. I won't lie.
I am not here to tell my story but Felix's so what I will say is that Felix spent 10 days mainly with his MorMor and a few days with his grandmother (pops and Lala) while I was in hospital trying to figure out what I was going through.

Then Felix and I went to mothers and babies...

Since then we have moved house and now live and own a place on South Brighton...

Felix has been crawling for the past couple of weeks, although he is still a little slow (wounded soldier like but getting much better and now follows me into the kitchen) God he is gorgeous!

We went to a bar in Woolston with the Pankhursts which was nice. Cute kids.

Laura and Massimo came to visit us in mothers and babies...

Felix was an angel as usual...

We have had visitors; like Neenu, NIcki and Iris. Iris and I went to Akaroa with the kids...

Neenu had lots of snuggles with Felix...

Felix and I began to sleep together as night feeds and crying going down was getting too much...

He then began feeding all night and his solid intakes weren't really getting any better. I was getting just as tired in the same bed so have just moved him back to his cot this week.

Trying to settle him in his cot and have left him to cry a little but it breaks my heart. He is still awake 4 times a night but I try to feed him just the once, or twice....

Please Universe let us sleep through the night as soon as possible xxx

 

Felix was pretty brave when we visited Santa at Northlands Mall...

7 months today!

Felix is 7 months and finally we are home after I have spent 2 weeks in hospital.

I won't go into details as it is onwards and upwards from here but I basically had a breakdown and a carcrash at the same time and it all happened the day that Laura and Massimo arrived from Italy.
I burnt out completely after all that has taken place since getting pregnant; trip to Spain where I found out, selling my house in Avondale, packing up the house into boxes, moving to stay with Din in Remuera, buying another house in New Lynn, deciding to move to chch, finding a rental here, moving to chch, selling my place in Auckland to mum and Tony, househunting here while living in a redzoned house that was damp and unstable, albeit in full of character, buying a house here and then having it fall through at the last minute and buying another house. Then there has been some stuff related to being back in chch, stuff with Felix's dad Steve, mastitis 4 times and Felix sick and once in A and E. Oh, and I forgot to mention the birth and then 10 days in hospital post that: the birth that ended in meconium and a ventouse and lots of drama in the hospital. I am not here to complain though, just to state the facts... I may delete them later but at this stage I want to get them out and onto paper. I won't go into my accident and time in hospital though. This is not the time and place.

Felix was weighed and measured yesterday!

He weighs 9.38kg
He is 71cm tall
His head is 46.5cm

He is adorable
