Hi all

Survived my night alone with L (DH out partying at Bucks Night). At 2am feed took L back to bed with me. I had forgotten how much noise a baby can make. The Maggie Simpson noises alone (sucking dummy) were so loud. But we did get some sleep. Today tho L has slept lots, not sure what that is about.

Viv - yes, I am a lot happier. I think I have finally adjusted to being a mum. Also L and I are getting used to each other and he is interacting better with me which makes it more rewarding. He is smiling and goo-ing all the time and I love seeing what he will do next.

We have a baby-bjorn type carrier. A couple of times now I have worn it and L has fallen asleep in it. I see a lot of women around the shops wearing them. Not that I have tried a sling but to me they just look flimsy, tho never heard of a baby falling out of them.

More pressies under the tree.... Good thing about Xmas Day with a new born is that no kids will be waking us up at 5am to open presents. Hang on... I take that back, probably will be up at 5am anyway!
