Baby Brynn

I just love having a newborn in the house again. This time I've given myself time to relax and enjoy bubba. I've spent the whole week just feeding and enjoying Brynn. He arrived on Monday 22nd April by c section at Nuh and i was allowed home on Wednesday afternoon, which was a relief.

Brynn is a very relaxed newborn, feeds every 2-3 hours (normally closer to 3). Then he has a short period of quiet alert, followed by sleep until he needs to eat again.

Paul is being brilliant - chief child carer, me helper, photographer, cake baker, grocery shopper, Brynn burper...to name but a few of his roles over this past week.

The girls are loving their cuddles with Brynn and take them whenever they can. They've both been vomited on. Tasha's response "Don't ever do that again Brynn! " and refused to hold him the rest for the day. Pippa responded with a laugh and treated it as a badge of honour!

I am healing well and have been enjoying visitors and even an outing to Formosa Taiwan porridge for a ban mian yesterday.

Evidently there's some slash-and-burn clearing going on in Indonesia and Singapore gets the smoke from there every year or so. This is the first time we've experienced it - and it's not nice. We've even resorted to turning our air-conditioning on...something we've never done in Singapore. It's quite surreal, it's like a smelly mist that won't lift. We've had friends here this week, it's been nice to come home and chill out with friends from the UK. It feels really good to be able to just pick up where we left off with them, and it's really good to have the space to put people up now. After Alpha last night we were walking back a...

Early morning toy soldiers

Pippa has gone off for cross country, so Tasha is using the glorious early morning play time to play toy soldiers.

Names

Lots of people have been asking us about names for the baby, and we aren't telling anyone until baby arrives. To satisfy that name curiosity that we all have, Paul found this cool website showing the popularity of names since the 1880's, I think it's just for America, but it's pretty darned cool anyway. Just type your name in the top left above the pink and blue box and it gives you a graph showing the popularity of your name. http://babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html
