Babe in the Woods
This is probably a more accurate title for the blog at the moment.
Oscar kept us awake most of the night but we did have a long lie in to compensate. He seems to sleep all day and then get active at night. Tom suggests that maybe he is still working on UK time. I think he gets upset at night when it is quiet and he gets a little insecure. He needs feeding every couple of hours anyway so a long nights sleep was never on the cards.
Today we took him to the local community nursing centre to have him weighed and a few other routine checks. He is doing well and has put on 50 grams of weight which is about right. We have to find a local pediatrician which is turning out to be quite difficult as no one is taking on an new patients. The nurse gave us another list so we will keep calling.
Oscar enjoyed the car ride and so we stopped off at the local supermarket on the way back. He was an instant hit with the staff and customers. I'm glad non of them tried to touch him though as he is only 5 days old and we are probably a bit paranoid about him catching something. One woman was amazed we had him out and about so soon, but I think she was even more paranoid than us.
It was a beautiful sunny day today and around 0 degrees. A lot of the snow melted and I think it will go quickly when the temperatures shift, which happens rapidly. Although at the moment it is much colder hear than in the UK, in a month or two it will be warmer here. On the other hand, another 30cm of snow has been forecast for this week, which should make it the most snowy Winter ever recorded. I think my snowboarding might have to wait until next year in any case, but then again maybe not.
