She slept all night

Meggan slept all night (midnight til 7:30 am) last night which is just amazing to me. I can only hope she continues with this trend. She’s so good natured most of the time with her delighted little smiles and little bright eyes. If she cries then you know that something is wrong – it could … Continue reading “She slept all night”

Meggan slept all night (midnight til 7:30 am) last night which is just amazing to me. I can only hope she continues with this trend.

She’s so good natured most of the time with her delighted little smiles and little bright eyes. If she cries then you know that something is wrong – it could be hunger, it could be a wet nappy, it could be she has wind and sometimes it’s simply that she’s ever so tired and needs a quick cuddle in order to get settled down to sleep. Once you sort the problem out then it’s back to being sweetness and light.

Germany is starting to loom every closer.

Good night sleep

Last night was the first night I’ve had unbroken sleep in over 8 weeks. Sounds like bliss doesn’t it? The problem of course is that I’m missing Lesley and Meggan. As I went to sleep I could see little Meggan’s face. Of course I didn’t get enough but you can’t fix several weeks of exhaustion … Continue reading “Good night sleep”

Last night was the first night I’ve had unbroken sleep in over 8 weeks. Sounds like bliss doesn’t it? The problem of course is that I’m missing Lesley and Meggan. As I went to sleep I could see little Meggan’s face.

Of course I didn’t get enough but you can’t fix several weeks of exhaustion by sleeping for an unbroken 8 hours one night. The real fix would be for Meggan to sleep a full night (which won’t be anytime soon) or for her to stay with one of her grannies – something which I’m not keen on.

As a result I’m looking forward to getting home and we haven’t touched on the Germany stuff yet which I know would be upsetting Lesley.

Man…it’s been a long time

I’m sitting in the living room with my laptop on my lap. My 5 week old daughter lies beside me snoring silently. I’m watching St. Elmo’s Fire and surfing for web news. My black sweater has a large milk stain where Meggan coughed, looked as if she was going to choke and then vomited a … Continue reading “Man…it’s been a long time”

I’m sitting in the living room with my laptop on my lap. My 5 week old daughter lies beside me snoring silently. I’m watching St. Elmo’s Fire and surfing for web news. My black sweater has a large milk stain where Meggan coughed, looked as if she was going to choke and then vomited a stomachful of mucus-laden milk all over me.

It’s amazing what a little time waster she is. Entire days go by without achieving anything because she sucks up the free time. You realise you life your life one-handed because you hold her in the other. The ache in your muscles is due to her uncanny ability to want to be held in the most uncomfortable position (for you).

In other news, one copy of Wolfenstein arrived and D came uo with his iMac so we could play. The single player game is a bit heavy on the nerves and we had to put the textures WAY down for the ATI Rage 128 in the iMac. My Pismo has the -Mobility version of the same card so it’s a similar exercise for me. Of course it makes me want a new TiBook even more and I wish I had the money to buy D a new iMac with a GeForce 2MX. Or better.

While D played the game I held the baby. It’s the way of things. D says it was weird when I said “Come on Meggan, come over and play with Daddy and Uncle Damien” – he explained that calling myself “Daddy” was the weird thing.

So here’s to the rest of you. I’m tired. I’m stressed. Life is good.
