What a fantastic day! Not sure whether Callum would agree seeing as he slept through Mike and I opening all his presents as well as Christmas dinner, but we had loads of fun and Callum sure was spoilt by all his grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins and friends in NZ and Australia. And here!
We started the celebrations early on Christmas Eve with a visit from Lisa and Nick who very generously brought yummy lasagne from Da Paulo for tea. I'm quite proud of us all for polishing off a bottle of champers without falling asleep too.
Christmas Day started bright and early. I think it was the first time in a long time that I have been up before the sun on Christmas morning. Soon it will be me telling Callum to go back to bed, it's too early, but this year we had to wake him for his early morning feed.
Christmas dinner was at the Spencers and it was great. There were 8 of us for dinner plus 3 wee bubbas. It was meant to be 8 plus 1 - including two Mummies-to-be but Leila's wee girl decided she wanted to join in the fun too and arrived 3 days after Callum on December 12. It was nice to have another couple to compare sleep deprivation with but a bit of a reality check seeing Marielle next to Callum. He really is teeny tiny still.
Today was our first trip back to the hospital for Callum's check up with Dr Ang. Yes, it's Boxing Day and yes the doctor's office is open - it's not a holiday here in Singapore.
After a ridiculously long wait Dr Ang saw us (and Callum) and all is well! Callum is now 2.32kg which isn't quite as much as I'd hoped, but perhaps I was being overly optimistic as Dr Ang is more than happy with his weight gain so far.
Guess which Christmas present is our favourite ...
