Hi everyone,

Well I am certainly jealous of those of you getting lots of sleep at night! We were having major dramas with James the first week I was home, the only way he would settle at night was in my arms so from midnight till 5am every night I would have to cuddle up with him on the couch, terrified to go to sleep myself and not knowing what else to do!

Consequently I was in a big daze the whole first week home, one night he miraculously just slept in his own bed thank goodness, although still wakes for 4-hourly feeds. We get sleep on at least 2 of the three 4-hour cycles at night, IYKWIM. So it isn't too bad. He is harder to settle during the day. Which prompts the question - how much playtime is good playtime at this age (nearly 3 weeks)?

Barley1, just had a look at your website, and both your girls are just gorgeous! well done.

Amanda - fingers crossed for Leah's hip check.
