good afternoon.

Glad to hear everyone is progressing so well.

Mistyeiz, I'm not really waiting 5 mins while he cry's but I do listen to the type of cry and judge if I think he is just grizzling tired cry or if it's a real I need something cry, or I'm in pain.
today i'm trying out the radio to see if a little background noise helps.
sometimes he will be ok, and must startle himself awake, then just needs a 30 sec cuddle and back to sleep he goes. (I don't wrap him during the day 'cause he hates it and fights me).

Sara it really is weird that we are at 3 weeks already.
I am really trying to enjoy this newborn phase but it's really hard the first time around. It's not that I'm longing for all the stuff to happen, it's that I need some structure 'cause I'm a control freak and I know this will come with time.

In saying that this would have to be the only piece of advice (given to Nathan by a work colleague) that is great for first timers.

You have only been a parent as long as they have been a baby.

so for us we are all novices, although it feels like longer than 3 weeks. I'm slowly forgetting what it was like before.
