Thank you Baby Bear

Dear Baby Bear,
When you read this you will be much older, and able to understand the sleep you deprived me of. The first three days after having you, you did not sleep at all. I then spent eight weeks waking every two hours, which sent me a little loopy. The remote was found in the fridge, the milk in the cupboard where I keep my teacups, the bottle of fabric softener inside the washing machine...
But I'd like to mark this momentus day with a thank you note. For what, you might ask? I put you to bed in your own room at 7pm... at 8.30 I'd had enough of waiting for you to settle and took you to bed with me. There we slept until 2.30 am! When I fed you and snuggled back down... until 7.30 am!!!! ONE NIGHT FEED! I feel amazing. I know it's probably a fluke and won't happen again for another six months but I dont care. Turns out all I had to do was bath you earlier and top you up with formula.

I love you Baby Bear (We'll crack the co-sleeping later...)
