Bedtime routine
I decided it was time to get Bronwyn into a bedtime routine. I am amazed how well Bronwyn has taken to it, this is the 4th night of putting her into the travel cot in my room and the 4th night that she has got herself off to sleep without cuddles or fuss!
No doubt it will go to pot next week as I have guests from Sunday to Tuesday who have 2 kids and then on Thursday Daddy is home! And we have to drive to Heathrow at 2.30am, so bang goes the night time feeding routine although I am hoping she will sleep all the way there.

It will be great to see him! He is going to be surprised b how much Bronwyn has changed, although I have been sending photos!!
I am really surprised at how easy it was to get Bronwyn into the routine. Most of my mates struggled to get their babies into a routine at 4 or 5 months. One couple had their daughter fall asleep on them everynight on the sofa and at a year old she still wouldn't sleep in her cot in her bedroom. They had a mattress on the floor and took it in turns to have the floor whilst the other shared the bed with their kid!!!
Really pleased to hear that Gareth is comong home soon, you must be so looking forward to being a family in one place. He's staying for good now?
I'm glad you've been able to get Bronwyn into a routine, it makes life easier for you.
I know you are looking forward to seeing Gareth again, and he will be to. Enjoy your time together, that means you won't be on here quite as much!!
Take care, Zoe x

I was wondering if Bronwyn was too young for a routine, but the fact that she has taken to it so easily means that she was probably ready for it. I am surprised at how easy it was! She doesn't really have a daytime routine yet but feeds at similar times every day, give or take an hour!
Gareth is only home for 4 weeks. He works 10-12 weeks on and 4 weeks off. He has only been back at work 5 weeks after his paternity leave. When he goes back on Dec 14th we have 12 weeks until he is home again. He has handed his notice in and leaves the Navy on 31st Oct.
I will still get online as Gareth is a computer addict. Its quite sad really but we end up sat on seperate sofas each with our laptops. You can't get rid of that easily!!!
Although I would like us to get out a bit as a family. The only problem is, now that toursist season is over, this tiny seaside town is dead!!!!
It's not sad you are both on the computer, at least you are in the same room together. In that case it will be business as normal then!
I can imagine what it's like round you. We were at Chapel the weekend of the 13th/14th of October and it was like a ghost town. We were at the stadium for a stock car weekend so that was busy. We had chips from one of the local chippies and they were all closing for the winter over half term week, as they just don't get the business to stay open all year.
I suppose the plus side is you can go into skeg, not get stuck in traffic and park in the supermarkets better!!

I have actually become a heavier sleeper since Bronwyn was born, but I think we probably both wake each other up and it will be worse when Gareth is home.
