I’m sure I’m not alone as a new mum feeling exceptionally tired at the moment. A recent holiday and the unsettled weather means the routine Edward and I had is out of the window. He seems constantly hungry and has taken to sleeping for long periods during the day and shorter periods during the night. We have tried to instill a routine where he naps during the day in a light, noisy room. During the night he sleeps in his nursery, or his moses basket in our room, which are both kept dark and quiet.
I love Edward dearly but I also love the few hours I get to myself when he (supposedly) goes to sleep at 7pm. I am starting an NCT Early Days post-natal course this week where we will be discussing practical skills in coping with a new baby. I am hoping we’ll cover sleeping! I also hope the other women are nice and I get to meet some new friends.
Today we had a yummy lunch in Monkey Nuts in Crouch End with friends, followed by some geocaching in Priory Park 🙂 Here’s a pic of our friend getting in some practice with Edward.
