Bennett sleeps through the night. But I do not. He used to wake around 3 for a feeding, then it moved later and later, to between 3.30 and 5.30. The last couple of nights he hasn't woken until 6 and now.... it's a quarter past 7!

However, I wake up. Once or twice each hour starting around 3. Each move and snuffle he makes, I think "Oh, it's time to feed him!" But no. And now I'm just run down. Sadly, I've been awake since 5.30 and out of bed since 6.15. I was *ravenous* so I got up to make myself huevos rancheros.

I'm all cranky and stressed out and the lack of quality sleep isn't helping. I'm sure it's a vicious cycle. Work - gah. Organzing the trip to Australia - gah. All kinds of other shit that needs to get done.

Oh! The babe is stirring.

He never worked well in bed with us. He sleeps in his moses basket next to my bed. We only have one bedroom. But he's only just started sleeping longer before his first feed. My body is still used to him waking up between 3-4am, so my boobs wake me. Then I'm just expecting him to wake at anytime, so I never fall fully back asleep.
