Hi there

Well as they say—you just don't know where the time all goes.

Eden slept until 1:30am instead of the predicted 11:30pm which was interesting, He then rose again at 5:30am I think and then instead of the scheduled 9:30—it was 8:45am I started a feed. He settled enough for me to then have a shower but then the wah wahing started and was not helped much by me having him with me in the bedroom while I tried to get dressed amid the screams. Can't remember what happened after that—think I tried to put him under the gym while I tried to get something to eat—didn't really work. Put him back to bed and periodic stillness and screaming (while I read the “stuff” website and got some food) until I fed him again at 10:30 (that strategy of allowing an hour of fussiness between feeds). He didn't settle down though this time and started the screaming again. I took to carting him around while I put a load of washing in the dryer and sorted another load—he started to fall asleep in my arms. Tried to get him to fall properly asleep while sitting in a chair for a while. You called at around 12:45? I carried on and then when he seemed “properly” asleep I went and got the car seat and transferred him into it and then thought I'd write this to you and then go down the shops. He lasted about 2 minutes and now is screaming again?! So perhaps another feed now that it has been longer than an hour and then we'll see! Somewhere along the way we also managed on two separate occasions to require a full change of clothes and another time—a full change of bed linen—vomit on the floor again—even though i set up a barrier?!

Anyway—I'm still sane, love B.

Thankfully after that email—Eden settled down after that feed and we went down to the shops and posted a special parcel to you guys and also did a supermarket shop. He has now been asleep properly in his bed for almost a couple of hours so I have been able to empty the dishwasher, do last nights “pots” dishes and put away the shopping. Nice to sit down and check the email.
