He's Here!

I did it!
Again!!
I survived the first week!!!

I am officially a mother of two under two.
Of two under the age of 18 months, actually.
God help me.

Yes, my second blue bundle arrived safe and sound at 39+5 on the 10th of September weighing in at 8lb 9oz, blue eyed and dark haired just like his brother. And how has his brother taken it?

Well, given the circumstances.

The first meeting:

'Baby Bear, look come and meet Squidgy Bear!'
'No.' He shook his head, and continued pushing his car around the living room.
Five minutes later.
'BB, look it's a baby!'
'Yes, baby.'
That was as much interest as he had, before he went to stay with my MIL for the night. The next meeting had a similar reaction, to be fair, and his interest didn't really grow until he was permanently home. Luckily, I have lots of lovely bear relatives who were keeping BB overnight and bringing him back home during the day to see us, but he's home 24/7 now and has worked out that Squidgy Bear is here to stay now.
Which is fine, he's actually fallen in love with him over the past two days, he likes to lay his head on top of him and say aww, and stroke and pat his head (it's meant to be loving but he does need reminding to be gentle...) and if I'm having a cuddle he pulls SB's arms because he wants him on his lap!
The only issue we have is if SB cries (which isn't all that often he's very content so far) BB will scream at the top of his lungs, pull at his ears and cry. He thinks I'm hurting him. And he will pinch me and pull me and cry 'Mum' until I show him what I'm doing and that I'm really not hurting his brother!

I can hear him shouting for me now, in fact so I shall go and get him up for the day,
Ciao for now!

Mama Bear of two
