hello world

I have managed to swaddle the boy and get him out of my arms for the second time today. I miss normal life and those leisurely half hours reading blogs. I'm sure I'll get a chance again over the next couple of years. The boy is lovely, but I am knackered and finding it very hard to reconcile the advice with the reality. How can you sleep when the baby sleeps, if he will only settle on you and he's only supposed to sleep on his back in a crib, so you feel that you have to stay awake so you don't smother him? Mr McMuffin is far more relaxed about it all and reckons we should just go with what the boy is telling us he needs. So far that's a giant breast attached to a human pillow! It can't be all bad though as I still feel we've been blessed and find myself just staring at him for hours and hours. Bye.
