Gone by in the wink of an eye ...

It really does go so quickly !!!

I am in two minds though ... half of me wants to savour every moment because I'm not planning on going through it all again ... but the other half of me wants the next 8 weeks to go by just as quickly because I am so bloody tired if they drag I dont think I will survive them !

Mornings are the worst.

Elinor wakes up at about 5:30am ... and feeds and feeds and feeds ... if she isnt feeding she cries ... and she really wont go to sleep until about 10:30 / 11:00 ! Alex wakes up at 6:30am and wants all of my attention ... he needs feeding and cleaning and dressing and entertaining at the same time that Elinor wants feeding ! So for the entire 5 hours one of them is always crying !

Other than that things aren't too bad.

Andrew comes home early afternoon most days so I have a couple of hours of both of them once they have woken up from their naps.

Housework is being completely neglected !!!!!

And I have discovered the best way to survive the nights is NOT to look at the clock ... if I know how often and for how long she is waking me up I would feel bloody awful ... instead I just get up ... feed, change nappies, cuddle and watch boring re-runs on the television or something equally as boring I have got on the sky plus ! But it is our quality time together ... so i am trying to enjoy it !

And then it is morning again ............
