Sleep


The first impressions are that D will be a much better sleeper than J has been. I know these are early days, but last night he ate a lot in the evening, was fed at around 1 and then slept until 5:30 or something like that. MK has a hard time pumping milk out in the middle of the night, but we are all starting to get some sort of routine so the washing, sterilising, pumping and feeding are getting easier.

The special bottles that we have to use cannot go in a normal sterilizer so we have to pour boiling water over them which is something of a pain and the kettle has been on more or less non stop since they got home.

Tomorrow we are going back to the hospital for D to have his casts changed. We will also have the chance to give him his first ever bath between having the old casts removed and the new ones put on.

There seems to be quite a lot going on all the time at home these days, I guess that is just how it's going to be for the next few months/years!
