Sorry for the break

It's been a while since I last posted - my bad!

However in my defence, the iPad had run out of charge and to be quite honest, I'm exhausted. You see, N has decided that the four month sleep regression wasn't enough and so he has created a six month version too. We are currently woken four to five times a night. Not great really.

N is pretty good at going down for a sleep during the day (as long as it's in his buggy) and is also good at going to sleep at night.  However our big problem is then waking during the night.

I don't think I've helped my keeping the boob kitchen open 24/7, and I'm not expecting him to sleep through, I just can't cope with being woken so many times a night.

So this Easter, it's all about sleep training with us. If anyone has any tips on how best to do this please do share!

A piece of me

Yesterday, I managed to catch up for some lunch with some work friends. Although it took a while to set up and was brief as we all had other places to be afterwards, it was good to hear about things other than 'baby'.

I could reminisce about a different area of my life (one that seems to have passed me long ago since N arrived five months ago), how it was in the real world and all the gossip I have missed from their lives.

As I was asked "so, what do you do now.", I told tales of baby sign, massage, swimming with N and trips to the park. Whilst not near as hectic as running teams and accounts as well as keeping up with the usual office politics, it gave me that little taste of what life will be like once I return to work.

It also reminded me that whilst my current "job" is to raise my son, I do also need to remember that is not solely who I am and I also need to take time for me once in a while. Whether that be going for a run, leaving baby with his Dad whilst I have an uninterrupted shower or even a Starbucks if I am lucky; it's important to take the time for myself so I can be Kirsten and not just N's Mummy.
