Ewan's Corner

I’ve learnt a lot about little humans in the past 9 days. I can’t believe it’s 9 days already. I’ve totally lost my sense of time, it seems like only yesterday when we were driving home from the hospital on a cold night. “Infant” derives from the latin “not able to speak” – but he can, letting us know his nappy needs changing, that he’s hungry, grumpy, cold, uncomfortable, needs burping, or all of the above :) Listening to the radio – loudly – helps you keep your sanity at 3am when you’re awake, emotional and exhausted. There is no way i can express my feelings of love for this little human being i helped create. He already has a huge range of facial expressions (and often tries them all out in sequence in 30 seconds). You know you can – and will – do anything to love, help and protect this little person. Going back to work on monday is going to be very, very hard – I don’t want to leave my family. My love for Clair has also gained a few extra dimensions – i feel so grateful, so in love, so filled with awe whenever she feeds my little boy, and stops him crying.
