Mum2b: my DH is a workaholic can't sit still for long, should have seen him while I was in labour, he was so board. Then when I came home form hospital he was ment to take 2 days off work to help me around the house, but he took DS1 & DS2 out visiting friends and running earns.

Sleeping... little M does about the same amount of time during the day, will almost get in 3 nap's before her night nap. When she is awake it's ony for 1-1.5hrs. So I just not the time she wakes up as to when to put her down...
I also put her to bed as soon as she seems sleepy to put her self off to sleep. I have learnt from the other 3 kids and bad mistakes I made early on, so I rarley make it with her. Granted she does get a little cuddy to sleep sometime but not often. Also when she wakes or grizzles, I let her go for 5-10mins as she is just stirring and puts her self back to sleep.

Crying... Well they are all ment to have a little cry to help there lungs develop more. But I don't let her get to upset, I can tell the difference from a hungery, to tired, to where are you, to wind cry. You will learn them all as well. As for us crying, I still have afternoon's, where I can just cry. Did it on Sunday, DH didn't know what to do, so he tidy the kitchen (which is REALLY rare) I didn't want to talk to him about why I was crying. Kids move had sad part which got me going...

I hope that helps you... Got to go and start dinner and put a baby down to another nap,
