I haven't had time to blog for a while, which I see as a good thing. It shows I now have less time sitting around at silly times of the morning waiting for Philip to be back asleep. He can now go for around 6 hours between night feeds which gives me a block of about 5hrs sleep. Bliss :-)

We did our first night away from home thus weekend up at Granny and Grandpa Wright's, which was very succesful and much more relaxing than we'd dared hope. I had a lie in til 9.30 on the Sunday! And good food as ever.

I've just ordered the turkey for Christmas (so no-one needs to nag me anymore), other than that the only non baby centred thing I've managed has been an e-mail to some graduates building a road in Nigeria with my thoughts on their plans. I was put in contact with them through Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and it strikes me that advice by e-mail is an admirable thing to have ongoing whilst on maternity leave as it can be done at odd hours. The e-mail was largely drafted at 4am - I was so into it I nearly stayed up til morning.

Have met a lady who lives down our road who has a baby just one week older than P. Although her baby was 3.5 weeks premature and mine 2 weeks late so where they're up to is all a bit muddled up. Hoorah for NCT, which is how we met.
