Its been a long six weeks since my last blog, which is surprising given how little has been going on. As you can see amelie and matty sleep all the time and basically you would hardly know we had a second child..............if only this were true....
To be fair the last 8 weeks with Amelie have been better than the first 8 weeks with Matty, mainly because of second child syndrome. This is where you simply cannot get as manically, frantically, eye poppingly stressed about things as you did the first time round. (We had our own room at casualty in Paris) The second reason things could have been worse is that Matty has been great with his little sister - and often very funny and sweet too. Highlights include telling us off for letting her cry, putting a cushion in her moses basket for her to lie on, singing to her when she gets upset and of course giving her her soubriquet of the moment - "Baby Mimi". Lets hope it lasts...
Apart from that the last 8 weeks have been pretty par for the course for a new offspring: not enough sleep, lots of nappies and a certain amount of irascibility, but still nice to have a little daughter.. with a big bruvver to look after her!
If nothing else having to adapt to two kids not one has at least taken my mind off the global conflagration in stocks and shares, the collapse of Western civilisation, the epoch making Presidential election and - most importantly of all - the Andrew Sachs/ Russell Brand affair , but I think all that is another article.
