hahaha! I thought I'd never use a dummy too and DS has had one since he was 3 days old

Agree about thinking I wouldn't use TV. Some days he doesn't watch it but others it's on for half an hour or more.

I used to think there's no way I'd survive without enough sleep. I never had a cut off date in my head but just held a firm belief that I'd really struggle with long term sleep deprivation. Well, it's been nearly 18 months (more if you count the last tri) and I'm still coping (just) and I try really hard not to let it affect my parenting.
