Getting the hang of it.

We are two weeks old now. Yaaaay!!!
I’ll tell you one thing for sure, a lot can happen in a day. A whole lot! Now imagine a week😂
I really think I’m getting the hang of it. And it feels like I’m in a loop; Wake up, feed, change diaper…and repeat!
So, what happened in week two?

1. Sulwe had his first proper bath!

Yaaay!!! So, before the cord fell off, we were just having sponge baths, and when it finally happened, we could have a bath! Here comes the problem; this is a tiny human being, who can’t support his head using his neck. I don’t know how I should be holding him😭😭😭 Tell me how we are going to have that bath… Lucky for us, his grandma came to the rescue. I’m not going to lie and say that he didn’t cry, lol! That’s the first time he slept for almost four hours non-stop! 😍

2. Sunlight!

We talked about his jaundice last week. I am happy to say that the eyes are now clear! No yellowing anymore and that is one less thing to worry about!
It’s been an oddly cold month… I thought we are in August! But that week had some days with sunlight and aren’t we thankful! Sulwe absolutely loves the sun!(pun intended) He sleeps so soundly after basking. The sunlight was also recommended to make sure the jaundice clears… So rain rain go away 😂

3. Heat rash.
The doctor confirmed that the rash was due to heat. I can explain!
Our apartment is on the ground floor of a building that has 3 floors, and the third floor is under construction, and it’s the cold season. You can now guess how heavily I dress him. Add onto that a room heater.
After the diagnosis, I turned it down a notch👌 just a little, because I am not about to nurse a cold in my Little One. He doesn’t wear kofias any more, if it’s cold I just swaddle him nicely in a warm blanket and the rash has significantly reduced. In another week he should be doing IG reels on his skin care routine 😂😂😂

4.Uji accident!😳😳😳
So in our culture, after delivery, you should get someone to seriously feed you. I mean stuff you with food and hot fluids.
The Mister signed up for the vacant position and he got the job, yaaay!
So this Sunday morning he’s making us some uji😋😋😋Then suddenly I hear him groaning in pain! The uji boiled and was now overflowing from the pot, and he’s trying to turn the gas off, and mmh… you can guess what happened. Poor guy! He still made the Uji and served us breakfast in bed. Thank you for the uji Wuon Sulwe ❤️

Two weeks is such a long but short time. My boy is getting heavier and he’s now a little less fragile. Some nights feel longer because he just wakes up at 1 am and will not go back to sleep till 3 am, so it’s just me and him looking at each other, saying nothing 😍, and waking the Mister every 30 minutes to catch him smiling 😂😂😂 but those are moments I really treasure.
I’m currently working on a routine, if it works, y’all will be third to know😂😂😂

I was just about to post this blog when Sulwe’s grandma brought us a cake😭😭😭. I’m yet to taste it because it’s still hot😋. We are happy. Thank you Shushu Carol❤️

Till next week. Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate your time!.❤️❤️❤️
