7th Week Heaven
Well relatively speaking
I must admit that after 6 weeks things do, at the very least, appear to improve. Some of this is due to the fact that you are now used to having the baby and as yet have not broken them (permanently).
I’m pleased, happy and very glad, oh so glad, that Amelia is now sleeping through the night; or roughly from around 11pm through to between 5 and 7:30 (that was yesterday).
In fact in the last few weeks Jon and I have gone to bed earlier than we have done in a very long time, even before she was born. Granted the last few evenings Jon has taken a glass of Bushmills with him, but through no fault of the baby’s.
Also she is now sleeping when put down after her morning bottle, as of 11:30am she is still sleeping off the bottle she had around 8am. I just need to be disciplined about making the most of this time; I’m still so shocked I end up on the couch in a semi-catatonic stupor. Today, however, I did manage to cook and eat my breakfast so that’s something at least.
