Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We're just talking about things that I'd forgotten about having
a newborn at home because little Sienna is now five
weeks old, tiny and Raffie's nearly five, will be five
next week, and there's things that I was like, oh, yeah, yeah,
I've done this before.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I know what to do, and you just forget so much.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Okay, go and tell me, because I've been during those
two songs, I've just been listing off all the things
that I've forgotten.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Remember, well, there's positives.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
One of the positive things about having a newborn that
you can't do with the toddler is you can put
down a newborn and then you can go and make
yourself a cup of tea and you come there, come back,
it's exactly where.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
You left it, and you just wrap it up together.
And sometimes you can watch and you can watch any
TV show you like.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
They're not going to ask you. They're not going to go, daddy,
what's that man doing to that lady? Is never questions
because they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So is that no.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
There's one more positive is that they're only drinking milk,
So there's a lot less clean up. There's not like
food all over the place, and their clothes aren't filthy.
And I think that's the end of the positives.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The negatives.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I mean, the big one is obviously sleep, and I
don't know, everyone talks about it and you know it
as well, like you know that you're going to be
sleep deprived, but there's something about that that third time
through the night when you've only had two hours sleep
and you've sort of been waking up, and then you're like,
I can't. I don't know if I can do this.
And then and also when you can hear your partner rustling,
and you're thinking, if I just lie still, maybe she'll
(01:33):
get this.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And maybe sleep.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I know, and you know, you know you're wrong, you know,
you like you love that person and you want to help,
but you can't. And you think if I just and Naomi,
who would always leave me normally because of breakfast radio,
all of a sudden, we'll.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Shake me going I've done enough, it's your turn.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
The other things that I've forgotten, breastfeeding it's it's supposed
to be natural, it's but it's more like writing a unicycle.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It looks like it should happen easily. But if you
ever try it, it's a freaking nightmare.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
It's so hard.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It doesn't I mean we just whereas five weeks in
and we still can't successfully get it to happen, like
there's and.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, it took me about three months. Have you got
someone elactation to consultant to come in, Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We've got this lovely lady Chantella's on the phone every
second day trying to help out and stuff. Yeah, and
I think last night we might have done it, might
have gone.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The full switch to formula, just to see if.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's about because the tummy's upset. The other thing is
the noises. I forgot that this was going to.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Be in my bedroom for nine months.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Oh that's so adoreble.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
No it's not, it is.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It sounds half like a cry or a poo.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, and that's through the night. You're just like I
just I can't wait for her to go to her
own room.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And the last thing I'd forgotten about is how much
it changes the grandparents, because Pearl Naomi's mom is like
a different person, like she's lovely though it's lovely, but
so sing a focused hil Yeah she even she was
she was a sort of had her in her arms,
rocking aside, decided and said I love you.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
She goes, I love you even more than I love
your mommy, and Naomi's like, mom, I'm here, I can
he hear you. And she's doubling down on She said
it a couple of times. Now, she's really pressing that
fact in.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
John's called through from Jim Boomer. Hey, John, you've got
the best thing.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah? The best thing is I'm a father of four kids,
and we found out over the years you keep forgetting
what you actually gave your children for their present. So
the eldest, what the eldest got, to what the youngest got.
So we did a book of what we give them,
so when it comes around to the youngest's birthday, we've
actually know exactly what we gave the.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Elder That's clever because like then, if they're if you
get a watch when you're twelve, yes, or you get
a bike when you're ten.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yes, we actually do something special to every birthday. We
actually cover their bedroom either in balloons or tunnels or
spider webs all the way through a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
That's nice, okay, yeah, but writing a list so make
sure you sort to keep things fair. Yeah, very good,
because they the kids will remember I remember, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay thirteen one oh six five. If there's things that
you remember or that you'd forgotten from the baby stage,
mine's so different to yours.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, we've got to check traffic. You want to come back, just.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I have lots and lists and lists. Scherene On Textas says,
babies are like puppies in the pet shop, cute till
you get them home and they put all over the floor.
This is true.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
It is true.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Okay, So I just when I started, I couldn't stop.
So this are some of the things I remember thinking of.
My baby left me soggy from leaked milk. Oh, yes,
because you'd immediately react, and then you share to be wet.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yes, the other day and started leaking leaking, and what yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, a lot right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The pain after childbirth was real. Shouldn't it stop when
the kid comes.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Out, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (05:12):
No, they're called after pains.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Oh good, I did not sign up for that. No,
I forget about that.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
So I had a massive hole in my abdomen where
my stomach muscles needed to reattach I'm thinking what is
going on? And then I touched my baby's head and
realized he also had a hole in the skull, because
that's a thing that doesn't that the skull doesn't fuse
together till they're like twenty six months old.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Is that for all of them?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh my god, I'd forgotten about that.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
No, my kid's dounch a special.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yet. Yeah, the whole head child? No, okay, so okay,
that's a good note.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Amazing things I could do one handed. I never knew
I could do that. I'm forgetting I had a baby
and being scared I'd forgotten my baby.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, I'd wake up in.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
The middle of then I going ah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's happening to me, that's real.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
What I said had absolutely no impact on the outcome, right,
so I'd say, stop crying. Nothing happened. As I said,
you can't wear a dress while breastfeeding. My boobs were
so huge I couldn't wear heels. My boobs were so
big and painful that if anyone went.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Near them, I'd kill them.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Despite being a complete extrovert, I didn't speak to people
at all for days on end.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
There's a lot of time inside. Yeah, You're like a
shutting aren't you.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Lasagne is the preferred meal drop off for a newborn.
I reckon I was gifted at least listen for my
first born.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
We've been a lot of lasagna this much.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Don't you though? And you say thank you?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
One whole shelf dedicated, right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I started to sing to myself to block out the
crying when you had to. You know, you've done everything
and you needed a moment. And in fact, because my
boys were reflex kids, so they cried a lot, we
ended up making individual songs for each of them to
try and sing to them to calm them down.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Their reflex tones.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, for their reflex tones. And you know, each of
those boys still remember their songs.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It's actually super key.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I missed spicy food, seafood, wine, cheese, you know, all
the good stuff because I realized that it would come
out in my breast.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Matt, we've had to go so myle and stuff so boring.
Now we've got out out.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Of red land.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But good morning, good what are the things you forgot?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Okay? Ye had had my second child? Well it's all great.
I've got to go down the shop. I've got to
get this, got to get that, put the catchule into
the car, start driving. So then hey, this little voice
from behind going mummy, mummy, it's Tonny. What's the need
to up my belt? What now?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Not one?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, yes, you got to do a double seat belts
in the Yeah you forget you have other children. Yeah,
that'll do. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
The amount of times that I would give touch shop
because I'd just forgotten that, you know, like I had
to back a lunch.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
The first person that invents a safe vulcro seat for kids, oh.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They will be a genius and make gazillion.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It takes me about half an hour to put it
both in.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
