Well I guess I shouldn't say it, but I never expected bubby to give me one night of 8 hours, a quick feeding then another 5 hours. That didn't mean I didn't get horrific nights either side of the 8 and 5 hour stints, and my body going whoa! I guess when you get too much sleep the first time, I felt like a zombie the whole day. Luckily, I expressed a full bottle and for some reason it seems like it was supposed to happen, as I have woken up (having him gone down at 8pm) at 3pm again today. A 7 hr stint. My breasts seem to handle it and kind of have adapted by themselves without me having to run to the breast pump.

Life is soo funny, I was so excited to wake up rested after sleeping 7 hours that I forgot to give Joshua the gripewater before a big feed and it ended up all over my pj's - oh well extreme rough with the smooth - it's never a dull moment in the Cook household. Little man Codi woke up from his late nap (a no no for starters), daddy had turned the TV off whilst he was sleeping (had fallen asleep to his beloved cartoon, Nascar Racers) and would have woken up to a blank signal on the screen. This time he woke up to a turned off TV and gave us the biggest, constant and loudest tantrums this planet has ever seen. A hurricane 10!!!!

I ended up losing my cool, that didn't work, so chill out time in his room (the first time) and then I gave him a shower to cool off. Man this boy of mine has some staying power. Poor mummy and daddy were trying out darn hardest, but it had been a really long time since Codi had given us a massive tantrum. I guess I am really grumpy if I get woken up from a nice sleep. And everyone knows what a late sleep in the afternoon brings, hurricanes!!! lol

I think he shocked himself more than shocking us. He really was doing that huffing and puffing after a big cry thing. Eventually we managed to settle him down with him sitting next to me giving me smiles. I do know that I need to spend some time just hanging out with him which I am sneaking in from time to time. He was happy to go off to the park with Daddy. Poor little thing :)
