First week over!

Well my first full week on my own with Martha is over! I survived! Although I don't know what it is with Fridays, the last time I was on my own but not for the full week it was the Friday that was the pain! Friday just gone was the same, hopefully its not a sign of things to come. On Friday things were ok until it came to 7.00 when Martha was supposed to go to sleep. She had been unsettled the day before and I could see it was possibly a growth spurt, so I got some milk out from freezer ready to give as a top up. She took this and was still unsettled, she was winded and cuddled and rocked and nothing worked. It didn't help that I was extremely tired and hadn't manage to catch up on any sleep over the last couple of days for a variety of reasons.
Well Liam came home from work (lateish) and I was very emotional, both Sarah and David had said they couldn't make Sunday lunch and I was feeling like the world was against me.
The long and short of it was that she took another bottle and necked that and then she went to sleep very easily. I suppose the day on a whole was ok it was just the evening I found a challenge. Its now Sunday and I have taken full advantage of Liam being around and have managed to grab a few hours here and there which has been great and I am feeling like I can get through another week. Lets take each week as it comes.
