Sleep

We’re still obsessed about sleep. Well.. about Ben’s sleep. He’s not getting much at all and as a result is very miserable all evening. This is making us less than our usual sunny selves. Last night was not good as Ben didn’t settle for his night time sleep which meant that we didn’t either and we don’t know why. The main issue is that he can’t seem to get himself to sleep without being on the breast/sucking a dummy. However as soon as he’s asleep and the breast/dummy is removed/falls out, then he wakes up. At least it’s the weekend!

Vote!

Voted today. For the local council there were three names on the ballot paper: 2 Tory and one Labour. I had to choose two…

Knackered

Remind me again why we thought 2 children would be a good idea?! It’s soooo tiring! Ben went to the Cranial Osteopath again today who was pleased with his progress. I’m hopeful that Ben’ll be able settle easier over the next weeks. In the last couple of days, Jon has actually slept through the night again which is a great relief. Ben’s been waking too often though and so we aren’t getting a run of at least 4 hours sleep every night yet. When that happens, I think it’ll be much easier.

In other news, I bought a pair of jeans from tesco for less than half the price of a jumper for Jon… Either something’s wrong with them or childrens’ clothes are overpriced!

Ben's Weight

Ben was weighed yesterday by the health visitor and is now 7lb 7.5oz. This is more than his birth weight, so he’s doing okay in my book. The health visitor isn’t 100% happy (of course) as he’s not on the same percentile line that he was one when he was born, but who cares about that?!
