the wash up

actually i thought it went quite well. paul might have a different perspective.

she took an hour to go to sleep (7pm to 8pm), the nite then progressing as follows:

9:50pm she woke, i breastfeed her, back to sleep at 10:05pm.
11:58 she woke, paul settled her by rocking and bouncing her; meaning his legs were on fire and the settling period felt like a lot longer than it was- back to sleep at 12:15am (he also changed her nappy.)
4:30am she woke, paul gave her a bottle of expressed breast milk as she lay in her cot, back to sleep around 4:45am.
5:05am she woke, paul settled her again to 5:30am.
7:00am i woke her up for the day with a breastfeed, change of nappy and getting dressed.

she since went back down for her nap at 9:20am, asleep without any action from us at 9:30am and now at 11:30am we haven't heard a peep. i'm about to make her a bottle and see if she is ready to rise.

so not the perfect nite but in the right direction i think. what's the bet it will all go to really smelly shit tonite?! "don't be so pessimistic!" paul would say.
