Hi all,

Belfie, SamiH and myself are in the Sept 16-30 and we are the only ones in it from our bellybuddy thread and there is only one other person besides that so its very lonely in there too. I'm sure that everyone jumps into each others threads for familiarity and I'd like to do the same in yours if its okay.

As for the sleep deprived new mothers out there, it does get better. You learn to cope with less hours sleep and your babies will start to feed more efficiently and sleep longer. The first 6-8 weeks of new babies lives is the toughest in my experience so just hang in there all zombie eyed. If you find yourself getting frustrated with bubs crying and nothing seems to work close the door and sit outside for a few minutes. You'll be amazed how much it changes the situation for you mentally and you will be more calm to deal again effectively.

Take care of yourselves and make sure you put those feet up every chance you can.
