Ok I’m probably jinxing myself by saying this… but we might just have managed to start the 4-hourly routine instead of 3-hourly with the feeding!
Last night Max fed at 7pm, 11pm, 3am, 7am, and again at 11am this morning… please let this continue!!

DH did the 11pm,3am and 7am feeds soI got a bit of a break, although he did keep falling asleep when Max began fussing and so I had to keep kicking him to wake up and see to him… bloody lucky men able to sleep through all the grunting and snuffling!!

Have also managed to get both of the boys down for a nap at the same time together… that’s 4 days in a row, woot!

J is attempting to sort out our spare (read junk) room atm, which means he’s moving around the junk to different areas around the house… typical! At least he’s doing something useful, I shouldn’t be complaining really… I just can’t seem to help myself can I?

Again just for my own benefit to have this written down, today’s feeds were as follows:

* 2.5oz at 2am
* 3oz at 6am
* 3oz at 9am
* 3oz at 11.30am
* 2.5oz at 2.15pm
* 3oz at 5.30pm

still another feed to go, probably within the next hour… we shall have to wait and see how it goes.

On the whole though today’s been great, Max has been really alert and happy (well, as happy as a newborn can be. Maybe contented is a better word?) all day long as has Zack, I can easily say I’ve had one of the best days since J’s been back at work.

I hope to try to carry on this semi-routine we’ve got going at the moment, especially the naptime during the day… god that was bliss!

I never did manage to get on wow earlier though… keep thinking about it but then other things come up!
