DH is out tonight wetting the baby's head with a mate. Mate's wife and DD came over to be with me. Night started so well, we had some nibbles while dinner was cooking (ready made lasagne and garlic bread), DS was being nursed asleep and being best ever baby. When came time to serve dinner, DS decides he wants to cry and cry. Ended up leaving them to eat dinner while I fed him. He wouldn't settle. Close to an hour later they went home. It took another hour to settle and I have just put him down. Nothing goes to plan with a newborn! Hopefully DH won't be too drunk when he comes home.

This is the first time I have been on my own with him. I'm coping ok and have managed to feed him and put him down (eventually).

Kellie and Kate - your girls are gorgeous.

Nic - bet you needed a lie down after your trip to the park. Friends with more than 1 kid tell me they get better with age. Just wait until they can play together and not need you to entertain them.

Managed to do the grocery shopping today. L behaved himself very well, grizzled a bit, but a trip to the parents room soon sorted him out.

Nothing much else happening.
