Ren, there is nothing wrong with crying from happiness. When I'm breastfeeding, I'm a crying machine - happy or sad
It's awful that your DH has to go back to work, and it makes it hard, but like the lack of sleep thing, you somehow manage to struggle through it. Enjoy your weekend together as a little family!
Well done on Ava's weight gain!

AJC, of course you're welcome in this group - you're a part of us!

We had another good night with Jared last night. He slept for six hours again which seems to be the norm for him at night - thank goodness. Now if we could just get his big brother back to his normal sleep patterns we'll be wonderful again. My DH won't be much use to us this week since Valentines' week is his busiest at work. He works nights and will be working crazy 16 hour shifts for much of the week I hate it when I have bedtimes AND mornings by myself, but I suppose I've got to get use to it sooner or later. At least the cooler weather might make sleeping a bit easier for Ben
