Ohhh... how your ideas of a good nights sleep can change :oD
So far, most nights, Tom has been wanting a feed every hour or hour and a half, and hasn't wanted to settle into his own bed. Couple that with Jack having a few rough nights too (doesn't do well with the heat, and night before last his nappy ripped open and split crystals all over his bed!) and you get a very tired mummy & daddy!
Well last night was different! Last night we didn't have a peep out of Jack until 6.30am - which is fine - and Tom only woke to be fed at our bed time, 1am and 5am! Effectively he only disturbed my sleep once as by the time he'd had hid 5am feed & nappy change Jack was up.
We had a lovely half hour lounging in bed, Mark & I, with both our kiddies. Jack laughing, gigglimg and scrambling all over us, Tom chilling out and taking it all in. I like this whole family thing!
Now I am enjoying the peace and quiet brought by Mark taking Jack to Dad's club. I'm sat snuggling a well fed and clean bottomed Tom while I catch up on my soaps and wait for the midwife to visit. The sun is shining, I have the door open to let in the light & fresh air. Everything is wonderful!
