OMG I am soo jealous when I hear your stories of bubs sleeping for hours on end! Sander wants a feed every 2 hours or so during the day and every 4 hours during the night! No rest for the wicked thats for sure!

Sazzafraz, thanks for the tip, but I live in Holland and we dont have mothergroups here. We do have prenatal/antenatal classes which I took, but no one seems to care to exchange stories and keep in touch really. I am thinking about starting a mothersgroup tho, but in a few weeks ?'ll have to return to work for 4 days a week so I dont think I will have the time really!


Sander wasnt too bad after his needles, just really sore legs which I gave him a paracetemol for and he slept more and fed more frequently. No fever or anything thank goodness.

Bonham, my dh expects me to bring bubs to him aswell and when i tell him to look after him so I can shower and get dressed, he puts him in his playpen (in Holland they look like square cots with adjustable heights) and goes outside for a smoke! No matter if he's screaming at the top of his lungs! So much for a relaxing start of the morning! He just walks away. I couldn't do that, must be the difference between mums and dads. He sleeps right through the loud crying at night too!

Oh well, at least I am getting all the precious moments now!
