Congratulations again :-)

I seem to remember your wife wanted to apply for proofreading, and then she was busy...I dunno, having a baby or something. Some excuse like that. Obviously I struck her off the list.

Kidding. Do tell her that when she's ready she's very welcome to apply again. I'm certain she'll be blissed out and/or cranky and CERTAINLY busy for a while, but it's something she could do as much or as little of as she liked while the little one is still in that oh-so-demanding stage, and when she is ready.

Or not, of course. But I wanted to let you know the option was still there.

Thank you - I'll pass on the message to her. She's got to earn her keep sometime ;)

I clearly sounded awful.

[almostwitty]

Not at all - she was glad to hear the message I relayed on. Mind you, today has been the day of hell part two when it comes to screaming newborns...

I'm busy being half sympathetic and half jealous.

I think I have enough brain left, though, to ask how you're getting on? Can't be easy.

This time yesterday, I was optimistically thinking that we'd turned a corner, gotten used to it and it was going to get easier from here on.

That was before 14 hours with a screaming baby who just wouldn't be placated. Followed by a few hours trapped with a sleeping baby, and the remote control and tea just out of reach.

And the cycle repeats itself again tonight...

It sounds really hard. If it helps at all, it sounds like you're being amazing. If I was there, I would bring you a cup of tea.

We're taking applications for overnight babysitters :)

My God....what you two went through! Happy to know everyone pulled through and the little one is thriving. It will all get better. The first few weeks are a roller coaster for sure.
