Been a while and a somewhat eventful Easter

Last post was 39 weeks pregnancy-wise. Didn't even make it to 40 weeks (so much for alpha_angel getting to attend as she was still at Festival) as little AJBM decided to turn up a few days early. All went well and we are still slightly stunned at apparently how textbook things went, continuing the boring normal pregnancy trend. Healthy 3.8 kg baby girl born

In these early weeks it pays not to think in terms of days but in 3 hour blocks. So in this 3 hour block I will feed the baby and then A: sleep, B: eat, C: shower. If you manage anything else you are doing really well. I found it took me about 6 weeks to crash my body into coping on 4hrs of broken sleep a night. It does get better in that you learn to live on a lot less sleep and your baby does start to sleep longer at night or at least go straight back to sleep after feeding so you don't have to resettle them etc. It won't be long before she becomes much more alert and a bit more fun and less about the bodily functions.

Anyway enjoy your little girl and congratulations.

Your comment about Z plotting the contraction times reminded me that I wrote a PalmOS app to do the same thing for the BatPup. Kind of briefly useful. Comments re: engineers also apply to programmers.
