*sits down* Well I knew tonight would be a late one as she didn't wake up from her nap until 4pm, and that was only because I moved anyway. I didn't even realise she had fallen back asleep on my till about 10 minutes later lol.

So she had a shower with DH at 7:30, in bed at 7:45. She had her feed, but when I noticed she was more just 'sucking' than feeding, I whispered to her "if you're done feeding sweetheart, you need to let go" and to me surprise, she did! She was still wiggling her toes and awake, but lying there so I started talking to her really softly again. Telling her how proud I am of her, what a great day we had together and how we were going to the park tomorrow. 5 minutes of this and bam, she was out like a light.

I'm expecting the half hour wake up, and we'll see how it goes after that. Fingers crossed!

Rosehip I would LOVE to have family dinner together! Sadly DH works in the city and it's a two hour train trip home. She has breakfast with DH every morning, even weekends as I feel it's a special time for just those two. And I always eat lunch with her too. If she does have dinner (4pm ish) then I try to find something for me to eat so she doesn't feel like she's eating alone. Even if it is just a couple of crackers that I eat via 300 teeny tiny bites LOL.

When DH is home, which is weekends and two week days when he works from home I try to make sure we eat together. Weekends are no problem, but trying to convince DH to not work through his lunch break and to instead sit with us can be tricky at times.

I am so thankful I have you girls to chat to through out this new phase - I can't tell you how much it helps me just to know people are hearing my feelings.
