00:00We had a night feed. I purposely did not look at the time so I'm actually not
00:16sure what time I was. I'm guessing it was probably around about just after midnight or so.
00:23This is our next feed of the day. It's early here still. It's about six o'clock.
00:31Not too bad. Not too early is it darling. It's easy to just pack this puppy up.
00:38There we go.
00:45Oh and I can hear a certain dog. He's probably not going to jump up on the bed.
00:59I've brought my water bottle into bed too.
01:37He wants to get up as well.
02:07So
02:27you might have to get daddy to lift Piper up.
02:38Get up on the bed.
02:58Hi.
03:00Piper wanted to get up on the bed.
03:10He's a good boy.
03:30So
04:01so
04:20you want the crinkly bottle.
05:00You're my good boy, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love
05:29You two are so cute Both boys are about
05:53about the same size at the moment.
05:55Piper is a bit small.
06:13What's Piper up to?
06:15What's Piper up to?
06:19I know.
06:24Shall we pop you on the other side?
06:36Let's put you on the other side.
06:39Oh, everyone's in the bed this morning.
06:50That's so cool, I like this balloon.
06:52That's so clever.
06:54That's actually made out of a glove.
06:58Are you making
07:00the vacuum cleaner sound?
07:02Do you know what he was doing the other night?
07:04He was actually mimicking the vacuum cleaner
07:06sound. He was going
07:10What do you say?
07:22This is life with the kids.
07:34There is no sleeping in.
07:40There's no sleeping in.
07:46Oh, is that what the balloon is?
07:48It's an elephant.
07:52That's so cool.
07:56I actually didn't know what animal it was.
07:58It's an elephant.
08:08What's Piper up to?
08:12What's Piper up to?
08:16Look, he's grabbing hold of my other breast.
08:18This is really normal.
08:20You do do this.
08:24It's thought to be an evolutionary
08:26adaptation
08:28to increase milk supply.
08:42I think I broke the dog.
08:44You broke the dog.
08:46You broke the dog.
08:48That's no good.
08:50The dog got broken.
09:00The dog's under the bed.
09:02It's the dog under the bed now.
09:04The dog lives
09:06under the bed.
09:10The dog is under the bed.
09:16Shall we pop you on the other side?
09:26Shall we pop you on the other side?
09:30What do you think?
09:32What do you think?
09:38What do you think?
09:40What do you think?
09:42What do you think?
09:44Shall we put you on the other side?
09:50What does a vacuum cleaner say?
09:52What does a vacuum cleaner say?
10:00He was so funny the other night
10:02doing that.
10:08Did you hear that?
10:10That's so cool.
10:14He was mimicking the vacuum cleaner.
10:16That's what the vacuum cleaner says.
10:24You are so adorable.
10:28I love you being the vacuum cleaner.
10:32He was literally mimicking the vacuum cleaner.
10:36I really think that's funny
10:38He was literally mimicking the vacuum cleaner.
10:44It was so funny.
10:46He makes me laugh.
10:52Shall we pop you on the other side?
10:54Shall we pop you on the other side?
10:56We are not in a rush this morning.
10:58We are not in a rush this morning.
11:00Most weekday mornings
11:02we are under the pump.
11:04aren't we?
11:06but it's nice to be a bit lazier on the weekend.
11:10I'm a bit lazier.
11:13Shall we still pop you on the other side though?
11:16Come on.
11:18Come on.
11:21I'm just trying to pop you on the other side.
11:25I'll put out the empty water bottle.
11:29I drink so much when I'm feeding.
11:33So much.
11:35I did work it out the other day.
11:37About 6 litres a day at least.
11:39I'm drinking.
11:41That's a lot of fluid.
11:47He doesn't want to move.
11:49He's quite happy to hang out here.
11:58Because he's still feeding.
12:02He's so happy.
12:33This is where breastfeeding does take patience and time.
12:53Both of us are hydrating for the day ahead.
12:57He's feeding on the left.
13:02No, on the right.
13:04Baby brain and lack of sleep brain is very real.
13:08He's feeding on the right.
13:11We're going to pop him on the left in a minute.
13:24I'm just having some water first myself.
13:29It's incredible how much I drink every day when I'm breastfeeding.
13:33I did work it out.
13:35About 6 litres a day I'm drinking.
13:39That's a lot.
13:52We're going to pop you on the other side darling.
13:58Come here.
14:12He's just hanging out here at the moment.
14:15He is feeding a little bit.
14:18I'm popping him on the other side.
14:22Come here.
14:35I wanted to lie him down.
14:38But he's straight on.
14:45Come here.
14:48I'm going to move with him.
14:51There we go.
15:06Sorry.
15:09He's trying to get a little bit comfy.
15:12You've come off.
15:15Come here.
15:18He's shy.
15:21Come here.
15:30There we go.
15:33There we go darling.
15:36That's comfy for both of us.
15:46I'll pop that one away.
15:53He's going to go for it anyway.
15:56Babies do do this.
15:59Apparently it is an evolutionary adaptation.
16:02To increase milk supply they twiddle with the other one as well.
16:05While they're feeding.
16:15There we go.
16:45He really likes playing with that.
16:48If I'm wearing it.
17:15There we go.
17:45There we go.
18:15There we go.
18:45There we go.
19:15There we go.
19:45There we go.
20:15Sorry.
20:45I'm so tired this morning.
20:48I'm half fallen asleep myself.
20:51Is he starting to fall asleep?
20:54Okay.
21:15There we go.
21:38This is a wider trunk.
21:41Rest yourself.
21:44Hey.
21:47He's trying to get a cat nap too.
21:54Broken sleep is so tiring.
21:57Isn't it?
22:14There we go.
22:33There we go.
22:36There we go.
22:44There we go.
22:47There we go.
23:00I love spending this time with him.
23:03He could easily get a bottle.
23:06And drink it independently.
23:09But then.
23:12I would miss out on these moments with him and it's so good because they grow up so fast.
23:42So
24:12so
24:32so
24:42so
