Oskar's Blog... March

22nd March
Well, that was an experience... I was born today 6Lbs, 3Oz. (not too bad I think!) Quite hard work I can tell you, mummy seemed quite tired and daddy (well I think it's daddy) looked pleased. I had something to eat then decided to have a sleep. I saw a load of other people that are apparently in my family, although I can't see the resemblance myself. I spent the night in the ward with mummy. Lots of other babies crying – I didn’t get as much sleep as I wanted… I met auntie Zöe, Grandma, Grandpa, Mormor and Onkle Al.

I’m still in hospital today and getting lots of food and sleep. We’re in a private room now, much better. A slight problem, just as I’m falling asleep then some flash thing goes off and wakes me up again; very annoying I can tell you. Slept on daddy today, he’s different to mummy, he’s hairy and I can’t get any milk. I kept mummy up all night, so I could be close to her.

Mummy and I went home today, daddy came with a buggy, I was dressed up in some really nice clothes for a change, I looked quite the man about town. It was nice and sunny outside with lots of weird noises. Got put into this really big buggy that mummy said was our car. As soon as the engine started up I got really tired, so I fell asleep. When I woke up I got fed and also met Auntie Vicky (Toria).

Nice and quite day today, slept, eat and looked at things. I have to say if the rest of life is like this, then I may like it. Met a load more people not really sure who they are, but none of them feed me, which let’s face it makes them rather boring. Mummy is still feeding me, I like her. Daddy doesn’t feed me, no matter how hard I try, but he is soft and furry, so I like falling asleep on him.

Big day today, the Midwife came around and I’ve lost weight! I’m only 6Lbs, 1oz. we had other guests at our house then I went with mum and dad round to Grandma’s where I met Great granny. I was very good and didn’t cry at all. To make up for it I think I will cry most of tonight. That will teach them to put me in some blue scratchy baby grow. I met Tanta Kristin, and Onkle John. Tanta Kristin keep’s talking to me in a weird language (I think she have forgotten how to speak English, I’ll tell mum or dad next time to be careful, she might be dangerous…)

Easter Sunday, apparently. Went around to Grandma’s house again, I had a great time, I kept getting hugs and cuddles and I went for my first ever walk with Daddy, Grandpa, Auntie Zöe and Auntie Vicky. It was a bit cold, but I had a cool hat on. Thankfully Mum and Dad got the message last night, and didn’t put me in a scratchy baby grow today. Really enjoyed myself, I got a photo of me with Mormor and Grandma, I wanted to stay at Grandma’s, but Mummy and Daddy took me home. I’m going to cry most of the night, and demand food, so they know that I’m displeased.

Mummy and Daddy have not yet worked out what I mean when I cry… it can’t be that hard, it’s only going to be I need food, to be changed, I’m hot or cold, or I want a cuddle. I don’t think they are too bright. It could be that they are learning, they are going to have to read some books. I met some new people today Pete and Tamsin. (Onkle Al’s Son and wife)

29th March
I went in a bouncer chair today, very cool. I also had a sleep in my play gym, lots of cool colours. Mummy and Daddy are getting better with my cry’s but I still get changed when I want a cuddle… I had another appointment with the midwife today I’m putting on weight now, I’m up to 6Lbs, 4oz.

30th March
I didn’t do much today, I kept mummy up because I wanted lots of food, but also I wanted some presents, and they did not take me round to Mormor’s or Grandma’s to get them. Typical, I’m only 8 days old and I’m being deprived already!

31st March
Still no more presents, this is really getting bad, 3 days and no presents, how can people treat me like this? I was up all night moaning about it. Mummy and Daddy kept cuddling me and taking me to be changed which ruined my train of thought. At 2am Daddy took me for a drive which was nice and calming for him. I managed to get my thoughts in order and had a good sleep.
