David, our paedeatrician, said all babies get grumpy around day 3 or 4. What he should have said is all hell breaks loose on day 3 or 4. Euey and Aoife are over being dragged from ship to shore and never having Mum and Dad at home together. Mum has a bit of the blues. Milk has come in and Finn loves it but Mum's nipples don't so much. Dad is tired. Very tired.
But we're a family of 5 and loving it!
Here are a few of the tidbits that make it all worthwhile:
As they were getting ready to go home today, saying goodbye to Finn and I, Aoife shouted 'Bye Mummy, bye Speck'. She has yet to accept that he is no longer 'Speck'. 'He has a new name now, his name is Finn' reminded Will. 'Bye Spin', said Aoife.
When they got home both Euey and Aoife sighed a huge sigh of relief. Euey picked up his trains and started having chats and Aoife gathered 3 of her babies and sat them on the couch to read them a story. Happy to be home. After awhile Euey asked Will
'Why does Culdee have two faces, one on the front and one on the back?'
'I don't know' replied Will, 'why do you think?'
Euey looked at the tv for awhile and appeared to have zoned out of the conversation, then looked up and said
'Maybe one is for saying hello and one is for saying goodbye'.
