So you are ahead of the game with the baby business then! Yes, I am just like your mother. I work at a large hospital and I think almost everyone has seen photos of Nathan, Nathan with Mum, Nathan with Dad and Nathan with Mum and Dad. Hope you continue well, Love Helen Well hello Anna

Yes, I am just like your mother. I work at a large hospital and I think almost everyone has seen photos of Nathan, Nathan with Mum, Nathan with Dad and Nathan with Mum and Dad.

Hope you continue well,
Love Helen

Being just the two of us is nice, but it's hard work! It was great to have you around. Hello Anna, Nice to see you again, I'm sure Mum will be chuffed to see your comment. -Simon Hi Mum,

Helen! Good to see your addition to the blog. If you're anything like my mum - you're bursting with pride and can't stop reminiscing about your 'babies' when they were new born. Got fond memories of you so I thought I'd skip Simon and say hello to you! Enjoy Grandmotherhood. Love Anna x Ah! Helen! Good to see your addition to the blog.

I am the paternal grandmother and have been overjoyed to spend 2 weeks with Yasmina, Simon and Nathan and share in the beginning of Nathan's life. I didn't want to come back to England and back to work! Everything has changed since Simon was Nathan's age, no warming feeding bottles, mixing fees by just shaking the bottle, no nappy bucket under the sink just always full of nappies waiting to be washed - I could go on and on. But one thing hasn't changed - babies still wake up in the middle of the night and REQUIRE ATTENTION! Can't wait for my next sight of Nathan which hopefully will be around Christmas/New Year time. And thanks from the bottom of my heart to Yasmina and Simon for letting me be there. Grandma Hello everyone

I'm hoping that this trend will continue :-). I enjoyed your comment about your babies still keeping you up at night, reminded me of my poor Mum when my brother and I were out painting the town red. Allison, I try to post 2 or 3 times a week, but that's an average over a month really. When I think of something good to post, I'll post it. I could write lots about Nathan but I don't want to be just a baby blogger. The baby does take up a lot of "space" in the relationship, so I know what you mean about recarving. For the moment we're very happy just looking after him, but we'll see how it goes! -Simon (fruey) Annie,

And the ability for the two of you to recarve yourselves as a couple in love with a baby in the house. It's not always easy, but is always worth it.

I can remember like yesterday the first time my baby slept through the entire night! Never felt so good! Enjoy it when it does happen. Now, my "babies", 21 and 18 (boy, girl) are out all hours of the night and I am back to not sleeping again! Waaaaaaaaaaaa! Many blessings! CONGRATULATIONS!

Sugar water isn't recommended here at all but can be a last resort to calm them. I really like your allusion to "baby boot camp". I hope I manage to get through and that the irritability fades :-) -Fruey Hi Allison,
