So today parliament passed a bill setting sept 1 2008 as the deadline for lodging historical Treaty claims. See the article on stuff until they remove it. Where did they get this date from you ask, .. well they pulled it out of their butts.
Lets see if I can follow their logic, lets breach the Treaty again by setting a date when people cant claim against Treaty breaches anymore. Dickheads.
To make it even easier here’s Laurel saying Kahurangi’s name.
And here’s Kahurangi having a little chatter
Kahurangi was super hungry today, eating on average every 1.5 hours … he seems to have to gone back to his 4 hour cycle now though. I hope that holds for the night, I have tech meeting early tomorrow morning and it will be hard waking up if he’s up most of the night.
Today we took Kahurangi to our ante natal class, complete in his where is wally outfit.
He did really well, wasn’t too noisy at all and didn’t distract people to much. Next week we are telling our birth story which should be fun. It’s the final class with a shared supper, I’m looking forward to it.
We went to the Thorndon Fair today, Kahurangi slept through most of it only woke up for a little while for a feed. We were pretty tired by the end of it, too many people not enough space but it was nice to get out of the house.
The ‘bring food when you visit’ policy is working well, we scored the yummy lasagne, some fantastic scones, croissants, and some chocolate brownies so far.
We plan to take Kahurangi out for his first day out tomorrow, to the thorndon fair. I’m really looking forward to it, after 6 years of having people smack me in the achilles tendon with baby prams, it’s now my turn to start crippling people too. I think its the rule, if you have a baby you can just ram your way through crowds and no longer have to queue up.
Its the end of the day, and dad and mum are pretty tired but Kahurangi is still wide awake
Hes been pretty good today, a few grizzles but once he’s feed and changed hes happy to go back to sleep.
Between, “Honey we are killing the kids” on tv, the article in the womans day magazine Laurel got in hospital titled “Are you killing your children?” and the nurses list of 50 million don’ts, I’m suprised anyone in the world manages to live past the age of 2.
Apparently pretty much everything will kill your baby including all the things they told you last week were good for your baby. There’s an entire doctoral study in the contradictorial information you have forced upon you when you become a parent. And another thesis on why people think it’s even remotely their business to tell you what to do.
Some of the gems we have discovered today are
Luckily we have our friends, parents, ante natal class and lovely midwife to reassure us that its not that scary really.
Well he’s all discharged from the neo natal unit and is now home with us. Ill update the gallery later on today with some more photos.
Laurel and I spent the night together with Kahurangi last night, and at his weigh in this morning he had gained 36gm. So they are doing some final tests and barring anything showing up, he should be coming home after his next feed.
And then as Bob says “The fun begins”
