Our first few days with daddy at work

There is no doubt about it having Jason at home was fantastic, he would do the late shift and me the night to morning shift, it was great i at least got a few hours unbroken sleep before my shift started after midnight. the first few nights that i was on my own to do all the feeds was exhausting. I seem to be getting into a rhythm now, except i keep waking up early for his feeds waiting for him to wake. I am worried that i wont hear him when he wakes.
We have had to put our little man into his own room, I am such a light sleeper and being a new mum any little noise kept me awake wondering if he had wind or wasn't sleeping and so on...
I was reluctant to put Liam in his own room as it is so far away from ours. without the angel care monitor I don't think i could have relaxed enough to sleep with him so far away. But it has been a really good solution, I am now getting to sleep in between feeds.
Liam and I seem to be getting into a rhythm, i haven't been out of the house since Jason went back to work because until yesterday I wasn't allowed to drive, or lift the pram. (4 weeks post op)
so I am a little unsure about going out on my own with Liam, Its been so long I cant remember how to use the capsule in my car so ill get the book out and study before i go.
I have a weigh in with Liam tomorrow so I have got to go out and about! Look out world here we come!!!!
