3 Weeks old and growing at the speed of sound !

Finn had his 4th visit from Midwife Libby yesterday - actually last week we had a wee Libby/Libbi convention at home - with 3 Libby's in one room !!

Finn McDonald Orsbourn weighing in at 4.710kg so has gained 20% since his birth weight and averaging 400grams per week - and boy does it take it out of the "Milk Truck" (aka Mummy) who is having to make midnight feast to take to bed with her - to stop her tummy rumbling. Finn has had to move up to the next size nappy - crawler, boys, 6-8kg nappies as he was getting woken up by wetting the bed - last night he slept like a dream (only waking for his 1am & 4am feeds), as the larger nappies work a treat !!

Finn has been an absolute angel, (touch wood !) and had been doing really well - Mummy & Nonni even managed to do the supermarket shopping while Finn peacefully slept away in the capsule in the supermarket trolley, doing so well that Mummy & Nonni had to do a spot of St Lukes shopping - for some new tops (non-preggy ones !!) and he slept thru that too.

Finn doesn't like sleeping thru the day - and at the moment is taking to sleeping late in the afternoon / early evening. Which we are hoping is working in our favour as he seems to understand that night time is for sleeping.

Today Mummy put Finn in the front pac for the first time and Finn enjoyed it so much he feel asleep for 4omins, so Mummy now knows how to hang out washing, empty the dishwasher, empty the dryer all will Finn in a front pac.

I am asleep on Daddy as the moment - and settle really well for Daddy....... Mummy is very grateful for that by the end of the day !

Yesterday was a big day - as Mummy was home during the day and then at night as Daddy was working and Nonni was busy - But we survived with a visit to Libby, Kitch & Ethan's new house in the afternoon breaking it up nicely, and Finn feel asleep in the car on the way home and slept for 3 hours ! So Mummy took that as a good idea to sleep too !!!

Well that's all for now folks.

Will post some photos of the ever growing Finn very soon.

Much Love, Family O xxx
