My little man, Flinders.

Hi y'all!

I'm finally sitting at my computer with all the photos on it, which means I can do a post about Flinders!!
Remember, almost 5 months ago, I had a baby? Yep, it's been 5 months of joy and love with this little guy, and now I can't imagine our lives without him! He has slotted in so nicely to Lam family life, and I have settled into being a Mum of a newborn a lot easier second time around. I think it's cos I was already used to broken sleep, stinky poops, and a little person clinging on to you all day. LOL!
Flynn is very patient, flexible, calm, he brings such joy to our lives! I love that you can see his face light up when he spots Jaimeson across the room. You can see they are brothers who love each other so much! I hope they always stay that way!

Here are some recent pics of our newest little (8kg when we weighed him last week!!) Lam!

Chewing... he does this alllllll day. I thought it looked like he had a tooth coming through, but after 2 weeks he's still munching on everything that comes within 1cm of his mouth and those little chomping gums are tough! No tooth yet.

He loves playing under his playmat. And he's so patient, he'll play under there for a good 20mins while I feed Jaimeson or get our lunches/dinners together. His favourite toys are the giraffe and the racoon hanging from the gym. He smiles and talks to them, with such a happy face!

 Other fave toys are the roly clown and roly penguin beside him in this pic. Check out that happy happy face!

 He actually likes the Bumbo, which is something Jaimeson HATED! I love that it gives him another view of us all, and he can sit up on the bench to watch us cooking! Haha, I love his crazy expression here, it makes me laugh!

 What a beautiful boy :) Oh my heart warms just looking at that sweet face! If you lay down beside him that hand always reaches out to you, trying to touch your face. {hearts rising from head}

Don't you love a sleeping baby? Yep, me too! He's just gorgeous!

 And he fits in quite nicely to this crazy family!! What a bunch of weirdos he must think we are. Hahahahaha!! {belly laugh!}

I'll give Flinders a big hug from you!

He's Here!!

Welcome Flinders (Flynn) Lok Ping Lam!!

Our special little guy was born Tuesday 22/10/13 at 8:26pm. He weighed a hefty 4.455kg/ 9lb 13oz {whoa!} & was 52.5cm long.

I ended up having a water birth, which was unexpected! But I was in the bath (an awesome pain reliever for contractions!) and labour advanced a bit quicker than expected, so the midwives decided to leave me there rather than try to move me between contractions. So even though he was quite a massive baby, I managed to push him out with only gas as a pain reliever, and I didn't need any stitches or anything after either. Woo Hoo {high five!} I thank the bath for that!

It was a quick labour too, I was induced with prostin at 2:30pm, my water broke at 6pm & he was born at 8:26pm! Quite quick!

Here is Jaimeson meeting his little brother for the first time!

 

So in love already! Like honestly, Jaimeson gives Flynn about 4000 kisses a day! Flynn is going to have to get used to a bit of rough love!

Daddy is a bit smitten too!

 So we're settling into life as a family of 4, having a few breastfeeding issues with Flynn, but hopefully it's just a phase that we'll be able to work through. It's a bit stressful at the moment though!
But I have to say, I have adjusted to mummyhood a lot easier this time, than with Jaimeson. It took me a whole 9 days before I cried this time, and with Jaimeson I had cried so much before we even left hospital! LOL!
So now I've got heaps of pics to use for Project Life! LOL! How to choose???!!
